Inviting God To Your Wedding - The New Book By Martha Williamson

Inviting God To Your Wedding - The New Book By Martha Williamson: "You probably need a license and, of course, someone who wants to spend the rest of his life with you. That's important. I begin this book with the assumption that you are actually marrying someone for that reason-that you both are madly in love and can't imagine living life without each other."

Dr. Joy :)

Hey I nearly forgot to tell you the good (albeit maddening tempatation lingers ;-) news!
I took a stand and asked my friend of long ago what his intentions were/are. He replied (always a good sign ;-) that his intentions are to not rush into any relationship after such an abrupt breakup!

Now, despite my desparate sense of wow (which I have released the reigns on to get some perspective myself) I whole-heartedly embrace this concept. From experience, if I leave someone with unfinished business or abruptly (well abrupt doesn't occur much at all.) then I know that various feelings for the person (they had some right or I wouldn't have been there) creap sneakingly back into the picture. This can lead to disaster. It can undermine new loves.

In honor of my future loves I owe it to us both to do the same. I went and visited my guy of long time this evening. We shared some chicken honey walnut and an episode of 6 Feet Under with friends. Then, per plan, I began to pack up and I could see him visibly getting edgy.

In the past this indicated a lack of intimacy that was needed.

Just because I CAN read body language, doesn't mean I don't resent the NEED to, just a tad. When I am all into this relationship, I can embrace this. In fact with my old long time friend we carried on all sorts of nonverbal conversations in addition to the verbal ones. Maybe "ADDITION TO" is the key there?

11:16 comes and my chance to change my karma is still plausible, so off to bed I go.

Love,
Kate

Karma Astrology: Looking for the Perfect Mate? (Or Trying Not to?)

Karma Astrology: Your Sun Sign's Karmic Tasks - astrology.com: "Some of us want to be rich and famous; others may want to find the perfect mate who will fulfill everything they sense is lacking in themselves. The underlying idea in both examples is that we tend to think we are lacking in something essential, and that obtaining more of that 'something' would fulfill our souls."

Your Karmic Sign - astrology.com: "What is your Sign of Karma?



Pisces (Whoa, really?!?!)

You have difficulty overcoming past experiences that left you hurt or fearful. This residue of painfulness stays with you -- you are unable to get beyond it and learn from the experience. Your karmic path leads to reacting defensively with oversensitivity -- never being able to examine what went wrong and how you could have improved the situation. Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to overcome feelings of paranoia, suspicion and isolation. By accepting your fate less defensively you can turn these traits into assets to balance your personality. Realize that because you cannot learn from past experiences you are open to experience immediate reality more genuinely. By turning the fear around you may find that you can be more 'present' in the moment than others."

HEAVY HEART: needs Sull 'Aria

Ramblings


Trying to get these thoughts of my chest (meaning heart!) so I can focus on work.

...............................
re relationships, 'Think good thoughts' or 'Trust in God'
These both translate (at least superficially) to don't fret, be strong, be yourself, follow your own path, see what happens, "all will be well" - which basically means weverything will work out fine and you will eventually come to know what that means, so therefore it doesn't mean much at all except stop worrying so much. heh.

the act of worrying could be detrimental if you think about the properties involved with a conductor entering the stage 4 feet in front of herself. one (I) need to act confidentally and the very act will be felt and inspire others.

all this tossed about and it feels too passive. but assertive, when not specificalyl responded to, too easily becomes wimpy and desparate sounding. very unappealing
..............................


smile brightly woman! you are amazing and he/they know it. prove it.

Astr. Zone

"One that I particularly like for you will fall on Saturday, June 5 when the Sun and Neptune will be in perfect sync. Neptune is an important planet when we consider your love life because it rules your seventh house of serious, committed partners and marriage. Your main squeeze would almost certainly be in an understanding mood on this evening, so it would be a perfect night for quiet conversation and for making big plans. Neptune will weave a sentimental glow, too, and with the moon in fellow earth sign Capricorn, you'll be all set.

The following weekend, Saturday, June 12, could turn out to be even more special. Again the moon will be in a fellow earth sign (this time Taurus), and both Venus (love) and Mercury (conversation) will signal Neptune. Romance will be in the air, so use this day for a candlelit dinner or fabulous movie - a love story would be an ideal choice.

For a weekday, circle Tuesday, June 22. Your ruler, Mercury, will buzz Uranus, planet of the unexpected, so you could be truly pleasantly surprised on this glorious evening. The moon will shine just for you in your sign, Virgo.

Finally, I also adore Friday, June 25 for many purposes, including a romantic date night. Mercury, your guardian planet, will be lined up with Jupiter, the planet of luck. Jupiter will be touring Virgo, so you can see readily that this will be a standout day with your name written all over it.

It's sure to be a busy month, dear Virgo, packed with decisions and progress. So much of how things work out depends on what your heart tells you to do. Above all, listen to that voice within.

Marriage Stories

Interview From greater Hartford:



KS: you both "recognized" each other immediately, more or less, but how long til you acknowledged it?

MM: "Well... it wasn't very long. I knew that I liked her right away. We met a
2nd time after the interview and talked about jobs in Washington DC. Then I
asked her out. So it was maybe a week at the most...

For the 2nd date I made her dinner at my place. We both knew on the 2nd
date that it was going to last a long time and probably forever..."



From Middletown, CT:


KS: So you and your husband have been married for 20 some odd years?
AF: Yes, 22 years. We met in college and knew there was something different about each other compared to other relationships. People told us to wait until after graduation, but we asked Why? We already knew.
KS: So how's it been?
AF: There are going to be bumps along the way. It's not all peaches and cream, so don't kid yourself. But everything can be worked out when both people are committed to doing so!
KS: Noting the smile on your face, and the frequent interactions you have with your husband, it would seem it has been a happy 22 years.
AF: *smile*
