Notice the Signs

Adhemas Batista

Franca Giuliani - Lately, I’ve been wondering if my work really makes a difference to people. I do get positive feedback, but still…I wonder.

I was in Belgium recently at my friend’s house, and the evening was so beautiful, we sat outside in her backyard. We quietly watched brown finches taking turns bathing in a trickling fountain that led into a pond. Both my friend and I were in awe. She said that she had never seen this before.

Last week here at home (I live in New Jersey) there was a tremendous heat wave. I came home late and just wanted to relax. The last thing I wanted to do was be outside. However, I had been feeling guilty not keeping up with my garden, so I did go out to take a peak. The bird bath was completely barren of water.

Marzo E Pazzo

Franca Giuliani - In Italian we say, “Marzo e pazzo,” translated, “March is crazy.” And, boy, are we in for a ride!

Based on 9 Star Ki astrology, technically March begins Sunday, March 6th (and ends April 5th). It brings us the energy of change and can be quite possibly radical. You may feel like you're riding a roller coaster all month. So, just know what is going on, and scream if you have to!

As for all of 2011 but especially for this month, be careful about
