Balance Within

In times of resistance to the flow, it is often difficult to remember, but the power of opening my heart to myself is the key to coming home to balance within me.

Deep within I know that Love is my guiding force and living from my heart is the key for Balance. When I come from this place, the energy I feel inside helps me to remember that I am connected to my Soul and doing the work I came on Earth to do at this time.

The Super Blood Wolf Moon

Happy Full Moon! A super blood wolf moon occurs when a total lunar eclipse happens during a full moon, according to Space.com. Since this one’s in January, it’s traditionally called the wolf moon. Native Americans came up with this term because “it appeared when wolves howled in hunger outside the villages. It’s called a blood moon because the rays of the sun could color it so that the moon appears red.

The super blood wolf moon will fit right into your good vibes only lifestyle. People will feel passionate and emotional. Part of this passion and emotion is connected to what your beliefs are about what is right for humanity.

That may mean you find yourself gravitating towards feeling strongly about getting back to following your path and the things that bring you personal joy. There will be a drive to make some readjustments in your life and you”ll want to do what makes you happy.

Capricorn New Moon Solar Eclipse

The Solar Eclipse on January 5, 2019 is positive thanks to a close alignment with the harmonious fixed star Vega. This star has an optimistic, generous, poetic, and creative influence.

This is an excellent solar eclipse for starting or growing a business. It is ideal for creative, musical and artistic projects and encourages acts of kindness and charity.

An eclipse accompanying the New Moon has a dynamic impact, prolonging the effects on all zodiac signs for as long as six months, instead of the usual four weeks.

This means all the cosmic seeds you plant now will be powerful game-changers, especially around professional endeavors.

Happy New Moon!

THE MOST WONDERFUL GINGERBREAD COOKIES

Looking for a great way to make Gingerbread Cookies this holiday season?

Tis almost the season for gingerbread cookies, a Christmas tradition. We think of “traditional” Christmas flavors like cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger, and those are exactly the same spices medieval cooks would have used in their cookies ages ago. Gingerbread is a classic Christmas cookie, and yet it’s also a cookie that would have tasted strikingly similar back in the Middle Ages.

Winter solstice festivals have been held for eons, across the world. From Norway to West Africa, Ireland to India, groups of people gathered to celebrate the changing of the seasons. Celebrations revolved around food; after all, you had to feast before the famine of the winter.

By the Middle Ages, the Christmas holiday had overtaken solstice rituals throughout much of present-day Europe. The old feast traditions remained. And while the roast and drink recipes were probably quite similar to what earlier Europeans had enjoyed, the pastry world was experiencing some amazing changes. Spices like nutmeg, cinnamon and black pepper were just starting to be widely used, and dried exotic fruits like citron, apricots and dates added sweetness and texture to the dessert tray. These items, along with ingredients like sugar and butter, would have been prized as expensive delicacies by medieval cooks. Only on the most important holiday could families afford treats like these, which led to a baking bonanza to prepare for Christmas. And unlike pies or cakes, cookies could be easily shared and given to friends and neighbors. Our modern Christmas cookies date back to these medieval gifts.

Festive and fun gingerbread cookies are what we are baking today. These gingerbread men are crisp on the outside , soft on the inside and packed with ginger and everything Christmas.

Happy Holidays!
