Today I’d like to share my horoscope with you and my thoughts on it afterwards and a little challenge to you that I intend on doing myself.

Aries Daily Horoscope
You might be open to new experiences and meeting new people today, which may make you seem more approachable. Your friendly demeanor could be the result of your desire to expand your circle of friends in order to infuse your social life with fresh energy. Perhaps you can consider finding different ways to meet people today. Joining a club, trying a sport, or taking a class are all ways to increase your social circle. If you notice any anxiety about meeting new people while engaged in one of these activities, take a deep breath and think about all the wonderful qualities you have. You might picture yourself from the other person’s perspective and see how unique and interesting you are. Knowing what you have to offer people may make it easier for you to make contact with others.

Going out on a limb and trying new things is a wonderful way to widen our social network. Unless we take a chance at doing something different, we will never increase our social contacts. It then becomes more difficult to expand our worldview since we stay within the confines of our comfortable social world. Meeting new people means that we engage in discussions and activities that are fresh and exciting and help us grow and evolve. We not only gain alternate perspectives through our new acquaintances, but we also learn more about who we truly are. By opening yourself to new experiences today, your social world will expand and you will uncover parts of yourself that you didn’t know existed.

I apologize for the lack of the daily posts as I had been doing pretty well.  Last weekend (Friday night) my home had a massive failure.   This failure being what we originally thought was a broken phlange on the downstairs bathroom toilet (we found a leak).  Confirmed the broken phlange, cleaned up the mess (yay bleach!) and set out to find a plumber we could get on Monday.  Anyway LONG story short, it was not the problem only a symptom.  There were ROOTS in my pipes.  This is now fixed and we are in the clean up and repair phase of the whole ordeal.  This is why I have been oddly silent the last several days.

Onward to the challenge that I am undertaking.  On facebook I have a very limited set of people I allow on my “friends list” usually people that are a part of Sacred Mists School, a few wonderful customers of the store but otherwise friends and family.  Sometimes I have a hard time keeping up with it all but do OK.  I have decided to open myself up on facebook to include more people even when connections to people I am already friends with are not present.  I am also interacting more with people when I visit my favorite places locally.  While I do hope to be moving West soon I am actively becoming better friends with those around me right now and finding amazing joys in that companionship.

In today’s world of activity and online networking, what can we do to always be true to ourselves while at the same time trying to make new friends?

ME? I don’t hide who I am in any of my posts or interactions.  Right now I am on a short “vacation” from facebook but will be back on Monday.  I hope to see you all then!

Wishing you the most beautiful weekend and the opportunity to make amazing connections both online and off.
