Cancer is about home, family, and nurturing. In July, it usually rules the lunar cycle, beginning with the New Moon when the Sun and Moon meet for their semi-Annual date, and peaking at the Full Moon in Capricorn when the Moon opposes the Cancer Sun. The Cancer energy rules the home fires, with family being […]
The New Moon is June 23rd at 3 degrees Cancer. This is the cycle of Cancer, about home, family, and nurturing, not only for others, but for ourselves. The New Moon occurs just a few days after the solstice, June 20th, a major turning point in the wheel of the year. This New Moon is […]
The resurgence of jazz as a popular music genre has been taking place over the last few years thanks to iconic pop musicians like Queen Latifah, Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper who have released albums of jazz standards, introducing the Great American Songbook to a new generation. The Palm Springs Women’s Festival debuted in 2013 […]
I grew up in a social and religious subculture where my family, community, school and church, exemplified the traditional expectation that boys and girls grow up to be husbands and wives. They have babies—who in turn grow up, and it all “naturally†starts over. As a young child, same sex coupling never crossed my mind. […]

Emma herself had her own “atelier†in the 14th arrondissement, although she had nothing to do with art. Opening the massive, polished […]
I felt attracted to girls at a very young age. I came from a large family in the Lake Minnetonka area of the Twin Cities and every morning in summer we kids were released after breakfast to explore the neighborhood around the lake. I would often be alone, preferring to fish on the dock by […]

Mercury, planet of communication, and Uranus planet of invention, both in Aries, are close by degree to the meeting, bringing exciting possibilities for this lunar cycle, and encouraging innovative solutions. Taurus is considered the […]
So I go to the East Coast Pride Festival in Kent, CT. produced by Anne Lipume. And it was a gorgeous piece of land with a lake and a zip line and basketball and ping-pong and kayaks and fire pits and FOOD!! OMG the chef was amazing. And unfortunately it rained quite a bit so we […]
Just like everyone, I love movie trailers, those that entice and don’t give away the whole story at a glance. That book trailers can do something similar, is a fairly new idea, but more authors are playing with the new medium. We live in the audiovisual age! My Paris memoir has 130 vintage photographs, which […]
Hang on, it's going to be a wild ride!
