You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith.

At first, I thought it was a hoax – definately too good to be true. But it was on the news – more than one channel, even. As I was sitting in the waiting room while my car was being serviced, I kept flipping from cable news channel to cable news channel – Surely, they all couldn't be wrong……
So, when I got home later on, I checked out the website that was being mentioned, and it does seem to be TRUE!
The Mars Real Chocolate Relief Act is real! Every Friday at 9am ET thru September, Mars Candy Company will be giving away 250,000 coupons for a free candy bar every week!
Check it out! There may not be any such thing as a free lunch, but there are free candy bars!

Hi Gang,
I often get emails asking me about what books folks can read to learn more about Voodoo. Mambo Sam has created a collection of recommended books on Amazon.com. One book that Mambo Sam recommends is called The Divine Horsemen, the Living Gods of Haiti by Maya Deren. This was the first book I ever read about Les Lois and it is one I find myself going back to again and again. There is even a movie/documentary of footage shot by Maya Deren filmed while she was doing her research. It is not as in depth as the book is, by any means, but it is an interesting film to watch. Recently a client sent me a link to The Divine Horsemen on Youtube! Go Figure ๐ So, I thought I would pass the link along as I thought some readers might be interested. If you find the footage interesting, I highly recommend ordering the book and giving it a read ๐

Hi There All!
Today is such a beautiful day – the first in many months- that I was reminded of one of my favorite quotes:
โDon't
underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along,
listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.โ
~~~ Winnie the Pooh
Here is to hoping each of you can have a bit of doing nothing today, and just enjoying the sunshine and new grass beneath your feet. Set aside your bothers, whether they be work or family or HD related, and just truly just enjoy the new Spring around us.
Light and Love

Chocolate:
The Fifth Basic Food Group
by Alanna
MacRitchie
While
protein builds your muscles strong
Eating chocolateโs never wrong
It helps
you heal when you are down
It turns
your sadness right around
While
grains can make you run, run, run
Eating chocolateโs really fun
It gives
you energy to waste
And it
has an A plus taste
Dairy
builds strong teeth and bones
Chocolate
should be in all our homes
Milk Chocolateโs made with dairy too
It builds
strong bones just for you
Fruits
and Veggies keep you healthy
Chocolate
can make you very wealthy
Make it
into chocolate bars
And stack
them all the way to Mars

The first full moon of Spring is upon us! Look for it in the
sky April 9 & 10, 2009! The April full moon is also known as the Pink Full
Moon, as it marks the appearance of the grass pink, or wild ground phloxโone of
the first spring flowers. Native Americans of the northern and eastern part of
the United States tracked the seasons by giving a unique name to each of the
full moons. This name was for the entire month that the full moon
occurred in. The name of the full moon and variations of its name was used
by the Algonquin Indian tribes from New England to Lake Superior.It is also
known as the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and the Fish Moon. Coastal
tribes called this moon the Fish Moon, because it was this time of year that
shad began their upstream climg to their spawning grounds. Here is a short
video about how this โPink Moonโ got its name.
This moon is also known as the Seed Moon. The energies
around this moon are ones of fertility, growth and inner wisdom. We are
encouraged to be bold at this time; to take action on things we have been putting
off all Winter. Spring has arrived, as has its energy for new starts and new
beginnings!
Tonightโs full moon shines near the star Spica, the
brightest light in the constellation Virgo. The first full moon to follow the
March equinox faithfully shines in front of Virgo, the harvest goddess, to
signal the change of seasons.
The Christian celebration of Easter falls on the first
Sunday after the first full moon of the northern hemisphere spring. So
tonightโs Easter Moon heralds the coming of Easter Sunday.
APRIL
FULL MOON by Lee Emmett (Australia)
in smoky-silk, milky-mist sea
full moon beauty gazes around
wearing lilac-veil she sails aloft
worldly domain without sound
dark arms of eucalyptus caress
cool-spirited fairies of mid-night
bathing in droplets on silver-sheen
forest-leaves; forms magical sight
Celebrate this time to begin welcoming in Spring! Clean out
your birdhouses, refill those bird feeders, go shopping in your favorite seed
catalogs ๐ Light a green candle for Gran Bwa and ask for his blessings in the
coming time of sun and lush grass and thick forests. Now would be a wonderful
time to do a simple Lwa honoring ritual for Gran Bwa as
well.
This is also a great time to air out your house with a lovely Marie Laveau Clean Sweep House Blessing kit. Spiritual spring cleaning at its best ๐
Spring is arriving and it is time to celebrate!

Hey there!
This Saturday night is 2009's Earth Hour is this Saturday at 8:30 pm – wherever you are ๐
Help raise awareness about global warming and other serious environmental issues by going dark and turning off all electronics and lights around you for one hour.
http://www.earthhour.org/home/
For those of you working on spellwork or adjunct work, this would be a great time to get those love candles going! Or a nice, intimate love doll session ;-) Or, if you get together with a group of friends its a great time to sit by candlelight and catch up on the local gossip or tell tall tales about the past. Or, for those of you who meditate or journal, Earth Hour would be a great time for those activities as well.
Make a date with yourself for Earth Hour 2009!~
If you care to share how you spent your Earth Hour, please do leave a comment here!
