All we have ...

2010-03-04T03:36:00Z

Why is it that we always need to be reminded to be grateful? Why is it so easy sometimes to just adopt things, to take them for granted? The short answer, I guess, would be "human nature." But that's a cop out to me. Am I grateful I'm a working 9-5 stiff? Yes. Am I slightly jealous of my friends who do what they love for a living? Yes. So how do we change that? How do we transform the 9-5 and all its perks into the job we love? Wisdom would say by appreciating what we have at the moment. And that's the crux. My friend Mary Brien was a woman who was twice my age, but we always joked we must have been sisters in another life. A friend of mine and I talked about her just last night, and we joked that if she was really as psychic as we so believe she was, why hadn't she visited us yet after all these years? My deduction, because they serve martinis on the other side - one can only hope! Mary not only taught me about taro cards, being intuitive, how to make a great martini, and more about myself than i probably every would have learned on my own, but she told me one thing that always stuck with me ... "tomorrow is promised to no one." and then she'd say ... "yesterday's history, tomorrow's a mystery." All we ever really have is today. And while we all want to know "what's next" it's never as important as the here and now. You can see what's coming, astrologically, numerically, psychicly, but with the whole Free Will thing, which we all possess, we have the power to change the outcomes of our own futures. Believe you can. Our thoughts are so, so powerful and so are the words we speak.

Smell the roses, tell your family and friends that you love them, and be as kind to people as you can be; you may not get a second chance. We never got to say "goodbye" to Mary, but it's okay, because I know she's around here somewhere, just choosing to hang back a little. And I know that the last words we ever said to each other were ... "By, Love You, talk to you tomorrow."

Let it snow again?

2010-02-10T15:41:00Z

well, at my last writing we were expecting a "snowstorm" and while we got a healthy 8" or so here, it didn't seem to be much after the panic the media inflicted upon us. it's like bracing for a freight train to hit you and then someone tickles you with a feather instead. yes, it's difficult to get around, but not impossible. so why am i not outside today, because now we're bracing for the "storm of the decade" - i promised myself i'd stop watching the news, and especially the weather. had i known earlier that i could have made a living predicting something that was as unpredictable as the weather, i woiuld have gone to meteorology college. truth is, it's not's that bad out right now, but it's supposed to get worse ... or so they say - and if that's true, then the only place i want to be stuck is at home .... let's just hope the power stays on ... i'm not so sure this is going to be the storm they predicted, and if you ask me, they'd be better off asking a psychic than a meteorologist, they'd definitely get a more accurate forecast. well, enjoy the snow if ya got it ... i'll just be admiring it from inside. bbbrrrrr.

Let it Snow~

2010-02-06T03:07:00Z

Here on the East Coast we're getting ready to get out first huge snow storm of the decade - well okay, the decades only a month or so old, but it is a true statement. Seems the whole country's had a taste of winter eastern style this year ... friends and family in Florida and the Carolinas for instance have had their share of almost below freezing temps. Still, I'd rather live in one of those places where the cold, windy, wet weather isn't the norm. Being a born New Yorker, there's a part of me that loves the seasons' change, but I find lately that the seasons just seem to meld one into the other without any definition to then ... that is of course, except winter. I really find snow so beautiful - as long as I don't have to go anywhere in my car in it, that is; so, having a storm coming on a Friday night/Saturday day is just perfect. Of course, all of my plans went down the tubes, but I don't mind. It's a great excuse to not have to go anywhere ... being a Cancer girl, I revel in the times I can just hang around the house and sort of re-group; it's practically a requirement for us crabs.

In 1996 I lived in New York and I can remember this huge storm that shut down the whole City for days. That never happens. The trees looked as though they were made of glass and covered in powedered sugar and the piles of snow were so high, you couldn't see across the street - it was so surreal and so beautiful.

Still, today, if someone offered me a one way ticket to a tropical destination - perhaps Bimini, I doubt it would take me long to pack my bags. So while I wait in anticipation for the snow, and I have my camera ready to shoot some great pics afterwards (or during) ... I long for the day when I can put my coat in the closet and pull it out maybe once in a blue moon, as opposed to having it hang near my door ready to be worn every day.

A friend down south recently called me to gloat "it's sunny and 60 here" - and I replied - "that's great" - the following day she called me to tell me they got 2 inches of snow overnight. I had to laugh. But while life in the City would probably just keep moving along, in the South, people just seem better able to slow it down a little and enjoy the moment. That's the alure of the south ... and I plan on visiting there soon (get my room ready!)

On the Fence

2010-01-19T00:11:00Z

Well I just have to say that since my last blog entry, a number of my friends have expressed concern about my leaving the social entertainment section .... and I've been on the fence about this even moreso because of those calls and those friendships ... but let me say this ... I was just reminded of one reason why I get tired of feeling used by some people that aren't so nice. When I speak to someone and I like them, if we click and spend time getting to know each other, I usually send them some free minutes and invite them to call me again ... but lately, I get these people who I've sent minutes too call me for the duration of the free minutes and then simply hang up. It's just rude. If you gotta go, or you don't want to continue talking for whatever reason, a quick "by-by" is so much nicer than a click. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt becuase sometimes things do come up ... I know this ... then a person will call again or shoot me an email apologizing for the abruptness and it's all forgotten and good - but I'm no silly flirty redhead with out a brain in her bubble ... I'm soft and sweet until you cross me - I'm that firery redhead who will not think twice about blocking you if you do that to me ... I don't tolerate rude people and my only ammunition is to block them. So if I've sent you minutes out of the goodness of my heart and then you just use them up and toss me aside, you will be banned ... uggg. I hate being mean, but I hate rudeness even more... I know times are tought on everyone ... if you need something I can give you, I will do that ... my time, my companionship, my friendship - but don't try to take me for a fool. Maybe I should've waited to post this when I wasn't so angry, but it happened to me several times in the last week and I've been weeding out the herd as you would say - wow, and you all wonder why there's no nice girls out there anymore. Well there are ... we just want to be respected. Got that Mr. Free minutes!? Don't mess with a redhead ... i've said my peace ... everyone else, have a nice day.

The Only Constant is Change

2010-01-14T02:01:00Z

There are times when you find yourself saying things that you've heard when you were little from older relatives or family friends. You stop yourself and you wonder, 'where did that come from?' It's as if someone older, wiser, and sometimes grouchier overtakes your body for a short time and they use your mouth to speak words you swore you'd never hear yourself saying.

So, I told you all about my coffee pot - many times I'm sure ... well, much as people love their pets, their cars, their 'stuff' - i love my coffee pot ... my on the stove percolator, marvel of the coffee world, is the only way i really enjoy coffee and by the way, and I really love coffee. Anyway, to catch up the newbies to my blog, this glass percolator has a plastic insert. Apparently if you let all the water boil out of the pot, the plastic melts, and smokes and smells and well, it's not pretty .... So I say my goodbyes to an old friend and quickly replace my 'pet' with a shiny new one. It's not that I'm heartless mind you, I just can't live without my coffee. (you know if i controlled all the coffee in the world .... i'll have to give that some thought) ... Anyway. The new pot. Looks the same, somewhat. Parts look the same. Seems that this soon to be extinct treasure is not an easy find - and I went thru hell trying to find this thing, so I'm not really worried about anything other than 'does it work the same.' It does. Problem is the lid. Not the lid on the pot itself, but the inside lid that fits over the basket that holds the coffee, that saves my life daily. It doesn't 'snap' on .. it rests, it fits, it even pretends that it snaps on, but it doesn't really snap on.

Now everytime I pour coffee, I have to be careful not to slug down the last shot as I walk out the door in the morning. I did it once and I was spitting grinds all day. Since the lid won't snap, the water boils, the coffee rises and the coffee grinds escapes the little basket into the land of liquid and .... well I'm not happy. I'll live with it, but I'm not happy. If I was a gypsy, I'd be an expert coffee grind reader (like tea leaves, but way more interesting).

So back to saying stuff you never thought you'd ever say - so this morning - aloud, mind you - I say "they just don't make things the way they used to." What? Did I just say that? How old am I? Who am I? I feel for a second that someone's hijacked my body to use my mouth to spout out some ancient language. Thank goodness I live alone, or I'd have some explaining to do. "Did you say something" "Me? No" "Yes you did - were you talking to yourself?" "That's just silly, who talks to themselves?" (Apparently, I do).

When I was growing up, there were a lot of things I heard my mother say that I swore would never come out of my mouth. Being that I have no kids, I've so far been spared hearing myself say some of those things, but I've no doubt that if I did have kids, I would have experienced this phenomenon much earlier. It's scary; just downright scary. I remember things like - "Heaven help you if I come over there and find it" when I was looking for something she needed from the cabinet. It was always said in a loving, joking way, but still, I swore I'd never repeat that. Or, then she'd find what I was looking for - and it happened to be right in front of my face, she'd say "if it had teeth it would have bit your nose off." Where does this stuff come from? Maybe there's a manual we all receive at birth. It has different chapters of things to say while experiencing different stages in life - like, when you get married, when you have kids ... you don't ever remember receiving or even reading the manual, it's all just programmed in... Don't believe me? Ask some of your friends ... compare notes on weird and silly things said to you by a parent or older person - or even better, listen to yourself repeat the words you swore you'd never say ... if it hasn't already happened to you, it will. Don't be too scared... they never inhabit your body for long - and before you know it, you'll be yourself again ... eventually.

Well, I'm on to my second cup, first I have to go rinse out my cup.

Non-Astrologically Speaking

2010-01-06T22:40:00Z

You know I started on Keen a while back (not mentioning the timeframe) on "the other side" - I consider myself to be a very empathic, intuitive person and I sincerely love astrology and helping people. Lately I've been thinking about the reasons I stopped doing all that and how I wound up on this side. Actually I figured both sides were still helping people, either comforting them, or giving them advice, and I wasn't wrong. Each side has a valid reason for being, and each caters to people in need of someone to either talk to, listen, advise, etc... but it's all part of a whole. Keen is just that ... Keen. It helps people in many ways.

For me, I think I'm ready to go back to my roots though ... after contemplating this for a while, I think I'm more at home on the psychic side. Actually what I'd like to do is use my knowledge of astrology and pepper it with my intuitive, empathic side ... and now that I've written a few astrology articles and actually sold them, it's a sign to me that it's time to go back.

I'll continue to flirt just for a bit as I prepare to make the transition back, but I just wanted to let everyone of my friends that I've met here that I've enjoyed flirting with you, but like the seasons change and the sands of time turn over in the hour glass, so does the girl go back to her roots.

More on this when it actually comes to fruition ... not goodbye, just ciao for now.

Wish Upon A Star, or a Planet, or the Universe

2010-01-01T03:11:00Z

So I won't remind you, too much, that even though most of the East Coast is under a cloudy dome, there is a full moon tonight - a blue moon, which means it's the second full moon of the calendar month. (read yesterday's blog for the 411 on blue moons) ... being that the moon falls in Cancer today, which it does mostly this time of year, I feel a peace I can't explain. I'm mushy and dont feel like falling into the New Year's Eve hype trap. I bought a bottle of wine on the way home from work but barely took a sip. I got an egg roll and a fortune cookie (my NYE personal tradition??) and read my fortune with excitement. The back of the fortune - "learn chinese ... Mango .. prounounced Mangou ... okay ... I like mangos ... about once a decade. And couldn't they have been more original than to give me a word that sounds exactly the same in English as it does in Chinese? I turn it over and the fortune reads probably the most benign fortune I've ever read ... "42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot." Well, I can only hope my lucky lottery numbers, also on the fortune, hold more "luck." Never before have I seen so much useless information written on such a small sheet of paper. I collect fortunes. It's a little thing I've done since ... who knows but i only keep the funny ones, the bizarre ones ... I've never had such a milk toast fortune come out of a cookie in my whole life as the one I've seen today. I plan on throwing it away, but I keep staring at it in amazement - this is my New Year's fortune? Really? I feel like going back to China whatever and telling them they gave me the wrong cookie, but I'm not crazy.

My summation is that the universe is telling me to be glad, appreciative and even perhaps hopeful that things are what they are to be and if they are not, they will change, but it won't happen overnight and certainly not when we expect it. ... May the New Year bring us all an even more joyous, hopeful time than we have ever seen ... the key is having faith that it will. Love to all my friends, family and passersby ...

Blue Moon ... A New Year's Gift

2009-12-30T19:08:00Z

As I mentioned a few weeks back, tomorrow, New Year's Eve 2009, a somewhat rare and auspicious event will occur - a Blue Moon. A Blue Moon is not actually blue in color, it simply means that it is the second full moon to occur in a given month (the first full moon occurred at the beginning of December). I have a fondness for Blue Moons - because, as I also mentioned, Blue Moon is one of my favorite old time songs, and it was sung by Ms. Lena Horne, who I happen to share a birthday with (along with Mike Tyson, but that's another story) - we are both Cancerians - and this particular Blue Moon happens to be in the sign of Cancer.

If you live in the Far East, you will also see that this full moon is also experiencing a lunar eclipse. That too, makes this an auspicious event. If you live in the Western Hemisphere, you won't be able to see the lunar eclipse, but that doesn't mean that it's not still a lunar eclipse - of course it is, we just can't see it in our part of the world.

Blue Moons will occurs roughly seven times in a 19 year period. They are special, and I feel honored to be hosting this Blue Moon in my very own astrological sign. To have an eclipse occur during a Blue Moon is even more rare, happening only once in about a 15-20 year period.

Many everyday terms we use come from such events - like "once in a blue moon", and the term "lunacy" (as in crazy) derives from the fullness of the Moon when it is said that more craziness happens in the world - a fact which has been evidenced and documented by hospital and emergency workers as well as police and the like, worldwide. Since Cancer is the sign of family, home and hearth ... and since the full moon tends to bring out the wonkiness in people, I've decided to spend my New Years Eve in the safety and comfort of home this year.

This is not to say that anyone should follow my preference and stay at home, but if you're going to be out and about, try to avoid the dramas that may be popping up around you and please don't drink and drive. Be with the people that matter most to you, and if you can't be with them, then call them - end this year and begin the New Year on an happy and comforting note, knowing that in these times ... next year can only be better ... and that believing that can really make it so. Count your blessings and be safe!

A Happy New Year to All ...

Ah, Saturdays

2009-12-26T23:24:00Z

For those of you who have gotten to know me either through talking on the phone, emailing or my blog, you know I love the weekends. I especially love the weekends when they follow two days of eating, laughing, driving, playing games, reminiscing and all the other fun stuff that comes along with hectic holidays. It's so funny how we can look so forward to something and even enjoy it, but when it's finally all said and done, and the dust settles, it calls for a big "ahhh, it's done." I don't think I've done as much today as I normally would do on a Saturday in the way of cleaning, laundry and all that fun stuff - I just kind of took it easy on myself total and I must say I feel totally decadent, almost like royalty who has a slew of servants to pick up the wet towels I've dropped along the floor on my way out of the shower ... but then there's tomorrow when Cinderella returns to reality and the towels will have magically made their way into the laundry basket, undone, and the servents seem to have all left the building along with Elvis. But for now, I'm just sitting here, listening to rain drops outside, watching the flickering lights of scented candles and hoping someone interesting will pick up the phone and feel like chatting. Maybe I'll read a good book, or find an intersting movie, and maybe I'll get lucky and here from you ... call me if you feel like talking ...

Ciao for now, xxo Jenna

Happy Holidays to One and All

2009-12-24T16:59:00Z

To My Friends, CoWorkers, and everyone: Just a quick note to everyone that I'll be out and about for the next day and a half or so - returning later in the evening on Christmas. I realize that not everyone celebrates Christmas, so I won't say the "Merry" words ... I just hope everyone enjoys their friends, families or whomever you spend your special times with ... but if you're alone, you don't have to be - when I sign on (approx 10pm or earlier on the 25th) I'll be glad to hear from you and we can talk about anything you feel like. I'm dedicated to my friends at Keen and I don't want to see anyone spending any time alone, if they don't want to be, that is. I'll also be on all weekend, for fun, serious, goofy, wild and crazy, or basically any type of talk.
This is the season we are reminded to appreciate what we have and to even more importantly appreciate the friends in our lives ... and I appreciate you all. peace and love ...

Snowed in - Mixed Weather, Mixed Emotions

2009-12-19T14:16:00Z

Saturday Morning - The snow started here about 8 am - an hour and a half ago, and already you can't see the road. I wasn't going to be on Keen this weekend, I was looking for ward to an early Christmas with my brothers, but one of them just called to say what any girl, especially the baby of the family, hopes to never hear all of her life - "Christmas is cancelled." Somehow, hearing those words sounded like a line out of a movie ...

Any other weekend, I would beg for an excuse to be stuck in the house and relax - away from the hustle and bustle, but not today. Oh well, what can you do. I hear it's even cold down south, so you know we're in for a nice one. Since my whole place runs on electric, i just hope the power doesn't go. I really have to consider moving to warmer climates. Snow is beautiful, but it can be a pain, because it rules your world, and can wreck your plans. I looked foward to reminiscing with my brothers, recalling how mean they were to me when I was little, and then laughing, because years later, everything that once seemed so traumatic and embarrassing suddely becomes very funny. Like when my oldest brother wanted the TV room for him and his friend, he would tell his friend I had a crush on them so he could send me out of the room crying ("Mom!") just to get control of the remote. See, tragic then, funny now.

So I'm home, alone, heat cranked, coffee on the stove (yes, I got my new coffee pot, thank goodness). Since I wasn't planning on being home, the cubbards were bare, so I had to brave the weather to make a quick run to the store. I could never live in the mountains or anywhere too remote, I'm just not a good planner of unexpected events. I gave up on watching the news and the incorrect weather reports a long time ago. I mostly rely on calling friends around the country and sticking my head out the front door. This morning, my nose froze in less than a minute.

At least for once I have wrapped gifts in my house for more than a minute - which gives me that warm holiday feeling. Usually, my gifts are wrapped and put in bags shortly before I walk out the door, so I miss having that visual. I thought of wrapping empty boxes and leaving them around the bottom of my fake ficus tree, but I was afraid I'd wind up packing empty boxes - how embarrassing would that be? Here's your homemade box o'nothing. Ha Ha.

I haven't had a real Christmas tree in years. Living alone has its limitations. There's no one to lug trees onto the car and wrap them up, no one to help lift it and carry it in the house and put it in a stand. And so I just decorate my ficus and put lots of huge pine cones I got from outside and put them around the base. It looks pretty, I must say. Feeling a little Martha Stewart-y. I did string white lights on the ficus. It sort of looks like Tavern on the Green in Manhattan. Well, sort of. They do have white lights.

At least I enjoy my downtime. I never mind being alone. Some people though are not comfortable with it. They need someone to talk to, they need company - someone to make them laugh or listen to what's on their mind. That's why I'm here - for you. So I guess it's a blessing that I'm able to sign on and take calls, because I'm sure a lot of those people aren't going anywhere today either. My friend in Canada told me last week that he had a couple of feet of snow, and he was stuck home for 2 days. For me, that's heaven, but if it's not for you ... you don't have to be alone. I'm here, snowed in, and waitung for you to call me ...

Let's have a cuddly fireside chat ...

Ciao for Now ... xxo Jenna

Ways to Beat Seasonal Stress

2009-12-13T15:51:00Z

It starts in November with Thanksgiving and lasts all the way through to the New Year. Stress during the holiday season is just another tried and true tradition of modern living. Hosting, cooking, shopping, travelling, on top of our already normal and everyday hectic schedules, can really put the pressure on. Even if you're one of those "I work better under pressure" people, like I like to think of myself as, you have to remember to take care of yourself - even moreso now, even with less time to spend doing it.

Clean House: Spend a little time straightening up, and maybe decorating. I find that a clean house gives you peace of mind that you just can't find when there's chaos all around. Besides, being organized can save you tons of invaluable time overall, which definitely keeps the stress levels down.

Get Rest: Coming from me, that statement may sound funny, since I work around the clock pretty much, but even with being a go-getter, I still make time for myself. If you can't fit in a solid 8 hours into your schedule, you can meditate for 20 minutes - or even take a cat nap. Some people can't cat nap, but I find them a necessity. Ten minutes with my eyes shut can rejuvinate me like a few hours sleep normally would.

Don't Fret: Short on time, resources, don't fret. Remember you're only one person, and you can only do so much. Give of yourself as much as you feel comfortable, and don't overextend yourself (a big stress monster) ... it really is the thought that counts in real friendships. Sometimes a simple phone call or a card can mean more to someone than if your went out and bought them an expensive something or other that they'll probably never use. Do what you can, when you can, and do it out of love and throw the worries in the waste basket. I used to be a notorious worrier until I realized that it wasn't helping me at all - worrying is a useless waste of time and it's really, really bad for you. You're in control, not the worries.

Positivity: Now that you're somewhat relaxed, your place is relatively clean and organized, and you're doing more resting than worrying, all that remains is a positive attitude. Trust me, I know that in today's world, that's not always easy, but it's easier to do if you remember that we're all simple souls in a complicated world. Our words, our actions, even our thoughts are mighty powerful tools. Think negatively, and negativity will surely find you and challenge you - think positively, and eventually even the darkest day will turn to sunshine.

We are who we are, where we are, when we are, because that's exactly where we should be. Don't wish to be someone else, just be yourself - that's all you'll ever need and all that anyone needs from you. So just be you. You're fine the way you are.

Ug ... Computer Programs (ops systems, downloads, gadgets, widgets ...)

2009-12-08T02:06:00Z

Why when we have problems with our computers, are we so quick to blame the hardware. I, personally, am convinced that it's not our computers that are the culprits when problems pop up. I'm just going to come out and say it ... it's the programs. Sorry, sorry, I know, there's plenty of good programs out there, heck, they may all be good (well that's kinda stretching it) but they just don't play well with each other; they just don't get along. I'm working two photography sites, a writing site, and of course, Keen ... and oh yeah, I have a site I put some handmade jewelry on ages ago. Why, I ask do I need two browsers to work ... my poor little laptop is working overtime, Mozilla, Internet Explorer ... (thank you sweetie).

So, as many of you would, I really gave this some thought, I downloaded IE 8 figuring I'd solve all my problems. Guess what? Really, I researched as much as I possibly could - from rave reviews to reading the fine print, I researched. Not only do I dislike this program, but no site fully recognizes it. As a matter of fact, while sending an email from here earlier ... a very big yellow box with very black print told me that I would not be able to add HTML to my email because I needed to download a browser like IE 5 or higher ...? Hello! It's IE 8. 8 comes after 5 right? I thought so. Oh and then it suggested as an alternative that I download Mozilla - which, FYI doesn't work with other aspects of the site, so I can't use it. Ugg!

They lied. Everyone lied. Introducing new programs, browsers, downloads, plug-ins, to the public is like introducing the man who saved an old lady walking across the street - keep your eye on him, next he's going to be the Mayor, then the State Senator and then you'll find him in the newspaper, busted with a garage full of stolen lawnmowers from the neighborhood. They are not to be trusted. At least not trusted to play well with others. They paint them so pretty, they promise you the world and then ... they freeze your computer, keep you from working, playing, surfing - they change your life in one sudden, giant freeze. Now I know what the term "left out in the cold" really means.

My only solution, since I can't get around the two browser thingy is to delete IE 8, and then use Mozilla to download IE 7. That should take about ... forever. I cringe at the thought. Then, I'll be back to where I started, and probably with a few bonus problems. Yeah!

I know, "be grateful you have a laptop, Jenna!" I'm big on being grateful. But the glitches just make me a girl interrupted and I thought it was a good time to stick up for our hardworking hardware. Sure, sometimes keyboards jam, screens start to lose their luster, but for the most part, I think they just get the shaft. Thank you laptop!

Got computer troubles? (see, even I said it.) Tell me your funny, or not so funny, troubles. Leave a comment, or give me a call.

Ciao for now, xxo Jenna

The Power of Music

2009-12-04T01:52:00Z

I don't listen to music as much as I should. I love music, and every time I'm in the car, you can find me singing along with the radio; and I love all types of music, but for some reason I just don't come home and turn on the stereo. Well, I guess that's excusable, since I don't have a stereo; but I do have a boom box that does have radio, CD, and cassette. I like having choices. So I'm sitting here signing onto my Keen account, and I had the TV on. I've always come home and turned the TV on, not so much to watch it, although I do, but just to hear voices in the house. Hearing voices when the TV is on is way more justifiable than hearing voices when it's off. Just kidding. Anyway, I just found XM radio on my TV. It rocks. And I wonder why I haven't found this before. I may have found the answer. Radio that is a TV. I'm finding all kinds of music from futuristic to way back in the day. I love rock, heavy metal, jazz, country, I love it all ... but my real love in music is good ol' R&B. I'm a rhythm and blues girl at heart, maybe because I'm such a romantic at heart. R&B just speaks to my soul. It's sexy, mellow, and deep. Of course when I'm out at a biker bar, I'm not going to request R&B, but I like to think of myself as a world class soul. I love all music from everywhere. I respect it. It's a wonder I haven't found music in my home earlier, but I think it's here to stay. TLC, Brownstone, Soul II Soul. Trust me, no matter what kind of music you like, if you're stressed out, try a little R&B. If you're in a playful, sexy mood, R&B. It just seems to be the answer to everything. It's perfectly comfortable as the center of attraction or the background. Maybe that's what I love so much about it, it's a mood and a music. So let the world melt away, tomorrow is another day. If you are stressed though, really, you can call me. I'm just a talkative girl, with a lot of friendship in my heart. I just love writing and talking and listening. Especially when I'm so relaxed. Let's chill together ... talk about the whether or whatever. Ciao for now, xxo Jenna

Full Moon, Blue Moon, Partial Eclipse

2009-12-01T03:36:00Z

Sounds kinda catchy doesn't it? Full Moon, New Moon, Lunar Eclipse (like that song hotel, motel, holiday inn ... oh sure you've heard it before). Well you know I mostly write about astrology when the planets are aligned for flirty, emotional or romantic stuff and I know I don't always write in my blog and today I wrote twice, but ... well what can I say, this stuff is important ...

So as you may or may not know, when there are two full moons in one month, the second full moon is known as the Blue Moon. (I love that song Blue Moon, especially since Ms. Lena Horne and I share a birthday, and our planet is ... the moon) So, anyway, tomorrow, December 1^st there is a full moon. There is another full moon on December 31^st, a/k/a New Year's Eve. And, as I just read on my favorite astrologer's site (Cainer.com, a wonderful man from England) there is also a partial eclipse during that auspicious Blue Moon. He and I both agree that the last full moon of the decade may be a great time to point your wishes to the stars, as the sky's the limit.

As Mr. Cainer might say, a little "cosmic ordering" would seem to be in order ... and as I would say ... go on, wish on a star ...
