About Cynthia

I am a textile artist, embroiderer, wood burner, costumer, painter, and weaver who sees magic and change in the chain stitch and a well done Palestrina knot. I wish I had more control over the ways of the human world but alas, all I can control are my actions and my attitude in life and the consistency of my stitches. And sometimes even that doesn’t pan out as hoped and I must rip rip rip.

Why are we here?

I believe that I am here to live as fully a human life as I possibly can. To love, to hate, to cry, to laugh, to rejoice, to find rapture, to feel pain, to jump into the lake and feel it all from my head to my toes. I’m not afraid of love and I’m not afraid of loss. I’m totally willing to risk it all for the greater possibilities. And nothing is ever a mistake. So what if I get a bit of heartache. I’d rather have loved than lost than never had loved at all.  It ain’t as trite as one might suppose. I am certainly not here to live in fear. That might be why you’re here but I’m simply not interested.  It doesn’t mean I don’t find myself afraid, but I don’t live there.  That is not where I pitch my tent.

I think

I met someone…  oooh

Waiting to see what transpires Friday night at the sobriety meeting and dinner afterwards before saying anything more.  But we had a good time last week and I look forward to see if anything might come of this…

There’s something about a pair of fine eyes and a bright smile to make your heart light.

Today’s Notes from the Universe

Some folks, not having lived perhaps as much as you, endured as much, or loved as much, simply cannot see the truth of a situation, disagreement, or relationship as clearly as you. And so, it’s wise to keep in mind, that it’s not their fault.

That you are in their life, that you are helping them, was part of the plan… though they cannot see this, either.

Can you see this?

This week in Cancer

I really do feel that you’re here with me as I create these horoscopes. In a sense, you’re my assistant. Our telepathic connection is utterly palpable and practical. The hopes and questions you project my way stream into my higher mind, coloring my psychic environment and enriching my desire to give you exactly what you need. Now, in accordance with the astrological omens, I’m asking you to give our collaboration more conscious intention. It’s time for you to be aggressive about seeking help and inspiration — not just from me, but from everyone. Try this for starters: Once a day for five minutes, visualize that you and I are sitting face-to-face and discussing the issues that feed your longing to be brave and free and authentic and smart and loving and creative.

aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I can do that.

I had hoped that I would feel fantastic today but I don’t at the moment. The second day of my moon time typically brings a massive headache and today, since it is 10 days early (gotta love perimenopause), it’s a doozy. Luckily I don’t have much to do.

Signature from my bank and the fax has been sent to benefits for my savings stuff. One last meeting  with God’s Rottweiler, who loved hearing what BK said to TVI.  OMG. Said he told me that there was much deep doo.
