December 14, 2011 | Leave a Comment
All of a sudden, it seemed, the babies in our family were toddlers and kindergartners. Our family parties were noisy with active kids who ended up in time outs. Our first cookout of the summer was in a couple weeks. Knowing that some of the best memories came from extensive planning, I hunkered down days before our first summer backyard picnic to plan and get ready to have a wonderful time with our grown children and our five grandchildren. The food part was easy, a cook out is always fun. Now, what could I plan for the little ones to do to keep them happy and engaged?

The Family – The People of the Astrological Houses
December 2, 2011 | Leave a Comment
The most important thing that we do in our experience is to relate with one another. To not be able to relate successfully makes life very difficult for many. I have done thousands and thousands of sky maps for thousands of people over my long years of being a professional astrologer. Probably the single thing that was most important to the person being read was relationships of all varieties. At the end of life, relationships or the lack of them were what was valued most, regretted most and controlled the end of life circumstance the most. At the core of relationship issues are the initial and primary relationships we form with our early family. Here is where our values are established and developed to become the basis for the relationships we build for ourselves in our future. As we mature, we form our own individual family circles plus a myriad of other relationships into which we enter. Family is where we begin our journey to understand and develop all relationships.

Tips For Students To Manage Their Stress
July 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment
“Mom, I'm, too sick to go to school today.” We joke about feigning illness to avoid school, but the illness is not always feigned. Stressors that students face each day can be just as detrimental as those faced by their parents. Yet stress management for students is not as readily available as is stress management for adults.
Charts purporting to show “who is affected by stress” list occupations. On a scale of 1 to 10, police officers rate 7.7 and teachers rate 6.2 – but students are not rated. “Student” is not considered an occupation. Online searchers type in a phrase such as “teachersjob + stress reduction” and get a fair response. Type in “stress management for students”, and the response is far less.

Travelling in the Fields of Forever

A phone call interrupted my reverie. It was Gideon asking if I'd had an interesting morning. I blurted out the incident of the birds and the books and the paper and the music and whatever else I could recall. I commented how curious it seemed that dreams of yesteryear could leap across the crevices of time onto the pages of today.
“When you think about it, John,” he said, “there really is no past nor future, no beginnings nor endings,just the ones that we create in our minds depending on our current perspective. A thousand lifetimes in a million years or a million lifetimes in a thousand years,what does it matter, anyway? We've always been alive.”

Baby Boomers Coming Need for Elder Care
February 10, 2010 | Leave a Comment
The “baby boomers,” the result of a massive upswing in births post World War II, have frequently been labeled as generation of change. From the youth-centered cultural revolution of the 1960s to the dawning of the yuppie age in the 1980s, baby boomers have long been at the forefront of change in American society. With the baby boomers now approaching old age, they are still making their mark on the cultural landscape-this time in terms of how elder care will be administered in the coming decade. Within several years, over 10,000 baby boomers will be turning 65 on a daily basis. With an unprecedented percentage of the population facing retirement age and beyond, the need for quality elder care has never been more pressing.

What does it take to save your relationship?
June 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment
When one is young and has not had any experience in relationships, they will often make the mistake that the kinds of relationships they will be involved with later in life are quite simple. Just about anyone who has been through a relationship or two have been through enough to know that, unfortunately, finding someone special that one can get along with involves quite a bit more than falling in love and living happily ever after. Though it may take some a little longer to realize it, good relationships take work. The relationships that will make it will have both parties willing to put the effort into making it work, while those who do not put in the effort will often find themselves in situations they did not want to be in.

Whether a couple are planning on having a child or not, it is a question that many will ask as they start to realize the responsibility involved in raising one. At first, it can be an intimidating thought or an exciting one, depending on the circumstance or situation.
