Beautiful Beings, Bienvenido!
Moon Phase: Waning Moon
Sun Phase: early Autumn
Pause – summon all the beneficial parts of yourself back!
Celebrating 10 years of service! Give your feedback.
Autumn (in my culture) is upon us! August 1-October 3. This is the final phase in the seasonal cycle. Celebrate the moisture in storms! Aspects of this season are last harvest, waning Sunshine, bright Stars, self reflection, and shifting attire with weather. A great season to focus on your journey towards the spiritual realm!
My play is amplifying. Up next is a Snotty Nose Rez Kids concert on September 18. Than Lizzo on October 31. I am planning to take an extended sabbatical November 1- January 31. If you aspire to collaborate or need specific resources reach out NOW or in early Spring!
COVID-19, the global viral outbreak spreads on. This summer I got it! A few housemates got it. and in general the cases seem to be ramping up in our community. Another flare up is racism with the emergence of the small pox variant out of Nigeria. the C.D.C. recommends a 2-4 week isolation period. Do you have paid sick leave?
