That’s not all it can lead to. 😦
Do Not Be Afraid
“Do not be afraid; our fate
Cannot be taken from us; it is a gift.”
—Dante Alighieri
Dark Place

Everything I’m writing at the moment is mean and hateful. I’m in a dark place, and I’ve already explained why. Or at the very least, I gave a partial explanation.
Tonight, I am just trying to get through the next few hours and tomorrow, and each day until I hit Monday. I can break down Sunday night, but for now, I have to remain strong.
Tact
“Tact really ought to be utilized if one is going to text me at two in the morning and be offensive, and think they’re not being offensive simply by saying “no offense”. Really? No, that doesn’t get you a pass.” –Lisa Marino
Focus

Today, I am too tired and way too sick to focus on anything. This migraine is a nightmare, made worse by lawnmowers, leaf blowers, trimmers, motorcycles, music, dogs barking, the nauseating heat, and anyone breathing or asking me stupid questions. Pretty much everything smells disgusting to me, except for essential oils and my perfume. And aren’t I lucky that it’s going to be hot like this for the next three days?! UGH! If I can force myself out tomorrow, I am only going out for cat food and toilet paper. That is sad, but it is a fact. I was going to try to do it today, but I’m in no condition to walk from one room to the next, really. Not without assistance. And quite frankly, I have the most useless cats on the planet. 😦 They only want me to feed them. They’ve dispensed with feigning love or interest in my suffering. They sleep in separate rooms, spend little to no time with me, but become obsessed with me when they think they should be fed (If this is what marriage is like, I plan on remaining sans ring and paperwork.). I’ve never felt more unappreciated by creatures I not only rescued, but loved and raised.
To add insult to injury, this is NOT how I want to be spending my weekends; sick in bed, unable to sleep or function. 😦 I’m SO fed up. I have plans next weekend, so even if I do feel like crap, I’m going. Besides, it’s the only thing I have to look forward to for the rest of the year, based on my current calculations.
I hope everyone is having a good weekend!
Full Strawberry Moon In Sagittarius

Tonight is the Full Strawberry Moon, so called because of the abundance of strawberries around at this time. If you have a lover or a love interest give them roses, as this Moon is also known as the Rose or the Love Moon. It is the perfect time to patch up relationships, get married, or find a new love. The June Moon is also known as the Honey Moon because it has a slight amber tint to it and it is also a time when honey bees are at their most active. This is where we get the term ‘Honeymoon’ from.
The Full Moon is in the sign of Sagittarius, which is the sign of truth. Things that were in the dark will now start to come to light, and new truths will be revealed. We can look at our lives with more clarity, as the veil will be lifted. Sagittarius energy is wise and expansive. Whenever the Full Moon is in Sagittarius it amplifies our thoughts and feelings and brings more information to the surface. It’s almost like this Full Moon is going to give us a magnifying glass so we can see in greater detail what is working and not working in our lives.
After this Full Moon, there is going to be a lot more clarity about what changes or adjustments need to be made and consequently there will be peace that will follow. We must also look within ourselves and find our own inner truths. You may experience some restless nights and wild and vivid dreams.
Don’t be scared to dream and want for more on this Full Moon. Sagittarius is brave and bold and will give us a boost of courage and ambition. You may feel unstoppable and have a sense of renewed energy. Use this energy to make plans for the future. Be daring and move out of your comfort zone a little, try new things. Only by doing this can we learn and grow.
This Full Moon will have our emotions on high alert, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. We will be feeling a little fragile at the moment, so be kind and gentle with yourself. Don’t be too self critical. Try to stay positive and think about all the good in your life, rather than the bad. There may be emotional desire to pack up and go off on an adventure or to visit places that bring up sweet memories.
This Full Moon gives us an opportunity to grow in so many ways and have an epic summer. The earth is full of energy and life now, use these energies to inspire you. Be creative and go out into nature for long walks, see the beauty all around you, and embrace all life has to offer. Let the Sagittarius fires cleanse, heal, and energize you.
You are getting a huge blast of positive energy from the Cosmos. This is a solar time, as we are almost at the Summer Solstice. These are power days. This is one of the most powerful days of the year. You can feel the shift in your being. The light of the heavens is pouring down into you. Use the light of this Full Moon to find your way home.
Have a blessed Full Moon, and may the God and Goddess watch over you.
