Tonight is the Full Hunter's Moon, named so because people would use the brightness of this Moon to go hunting and gather meat for their families. It is also known as The Blood Moon because between now and Samhain/Halloween was the harvest of flesh, it was the time when the farming community would slaughter cattle … Continue reading Full Hunter’s Moon In Taurus

Aches, Pain, and Shooting Stars
It is unbearably difficult to move today. Everything hurts ten times worse than it did yesterday. 😦 The only non-painful part of my body are my toenails. That is sad, at least from where I'm sitting. Pain like this is torture and no decent human-being should be forced to live like this. I'm not stating … Continue reading Aches, Pain, and Shooting Stars
New Moon In Libra
Tonight is the New Moon in Libra. This is a time to find a real balance in our life physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. With the waves from the lunar eclipse still rippling through the atmosphere, it might be a good time to stand still, take a breath and center yourself. With this New Moon … Continue reading New Moon In Libra
Think Pink
Cancer has deeply affected my family on a personal level, so any time I am able to speak up about it, I will. As someone who had two breast related scares in the last year (As far as I know, I am fine.), I can only say, male or female, breast cancer can happen. If … Continue reading Think Pink
All I Want Is A Nap…For Now
I packed for nearly eleven hours today. That's a record for me with Fibromyalgia, because the last time I had to make a big move, I flat-out shut down emotionally (and physically) and hired a moving company. This time, I am doing every damn thing by myself. You know where you stand with your friends … Continue reading All I Want Is A Nap…For Now
Beginnings, Endings, and New Beginnings
It's utterly surreal how much my life has changed in the last eight years. I set out on a specific course, reached a major fork in the road, chose a direction, a dream, and now I am starting over with a dream I've somehow managed to keep hidden in the back of my mind, all … Continue reading Beginnings, Endings, and New Beginnings
Another Sleepless Night
No, I haven't been to bed yet. Yes, I'm aware it's nearly 8:00 a.m. EDT. No, I don't normally sleep during the day, but the Full Moon leading into the time change screws with me badly. On the plus side, I was pretty productive overnight and this needs to continue until next month. I can … Continue reading Another Sleepless Night
October, You Glorious Friend
It's not a secret: Fall is my favorite time of year, and October and November are two of my favorite months. October is a birth-pride kind of thing. I don't care if it's sunny year-round in California, because to me, that's hell. Peace is watching the leaves change color. It's not having one or two … Continue reading October, You Glorious Friend
Let’s Give This A Try
I didn't get to celebrate the first anniversary of 'Poison In Lethal Doses' being here because, for some unknown reason, WordPress did not see fit to notify me as they normally do. In light of that, I thought a good way to celebrate would be an AMA (Ask Me Anything) next month. So, from now … Continue reading Let’s Give This A Try
The Need For Silence
Tomorrow is Samhain, which is Halloween for the uninitiated who can't even pronounce what I just said. I've taken some time this week to be quiet, to look deeply within, and to give myself some space. Every year brings a new set of challenges, and I am hoping to embark on happier ones this time … Continue reading The Need For Silence
