Death becomes her.....

On February 14th, my grandmother passed away at 90 years old.

Basically, I'm just sad for my dad. No matter the age, that was his mother. So my heart goes out to him and his family for their loss.

I can honestly say that I wasn't close with my grandmother so its an odd feeling. It feels like a family friend passed away more so than a relative OR maybe I'm harden with it comes to death. My dads family hasn't had but a very, very few deaths whereas my mother's side has been hit hard.

So, I'm gearing up for this week of family stuff.

RIP AMY.

My digestion of the 1970s American popular culture in the form of television, film, ads, and music only added to my training, so that by as early as age nine or ten I saw females, includ...

Aquarius Rising - Authentically Me

Aquarius Rising - Sy Smith I'm not one to really get into Zodiac signs and yet I'm fascinated the astrological relationship to our spirits. I know we all still blame the moon for man's "lunacy". When I read about the sign of Aquarius, I'm taken by how much it does describe me. I'm not guided by astrology but I do recognize its connection to the Universe. Some don't realize how man used astrology throughout the bible as a guide for God's people. But this isn't about astrology and the Christian faith but me being the fabulous Aquarius female that I am. This is me, basically...READ ON Aquarius (The Sun is in Aquarius from approximately January 20 to February 18, depending on the year). One of the standout characteristics of those born under the Sun Sign of Aquarius is their unwillingness to follow the beaten track. With ...
