A Week in Retrograde? But it’s only Tuesday!

So you might not know this about me, but I’m kind of “into” astrology and have had my chart done a few times.

Don’t confuse this with actually knowing about astrology–I can never remember the significance of this house or that, but I find it completely fascinating all the same, and I love getting my weekly reading from Rob Brezny’s Free Will Astrology, because it’s always right on, and his writing is so life-affirming and expansive.

I share this little personal factoid today because I’m thinking something is terribly “retrograde” in the stars this week (for just me or you too?), and it’s only Tuesday. Ugh.

For my subscribers that got that perplexing blog post this morning–sorry about that! I was creating a new PAGE for my kits, but somehow got confused and created a POST instead, which I deleted close to INSTANTLY when I realized my mistake, but somehow Google/Feedburner saved it all and then sent it out to you. Of course they/it did.

Which is ironic because when I do want them to send things at certain times. they won’t.

And then I had a painful (for me anyway) exchange in an online business forum which felt hard and awful but I eventually realized was a great opportunity to discuss the pros and perils of asking for and getting *FEEDBACK* here in the blog, since making things and getting feedback (requested or not) go hand-in-hand. I’ll share my wisdom, confusion, thoughts on that in my next post.

There’s more, but I won’t bore you with the details. Suffice it to say that I decided if the stars are gonna go all wonky on me, two could play that game. When the going gets tough, the tough go…to galleries! So I’m going to the Met this afternoon because I always feel incredibly soothed in that temple of art and I want a big hit of something that will nourish my soul.

My soul, however, isn’t just hungry for fine art and elevated ideas–it also enjoys a good belly laugh, so I re-watched a “music” video on YouTube called Craft Talk–so funny and silly, especially for those of us who like to make crafty things.

I thought you might also need a belly laugh as well, so I’m inserting it here–click here if you’re reading this in your email and want to watch the video. (Shout out to LiseDaddy, a friend and subscriber to this blog who showed me this video in the first place!)

If you also find the video funny, leave me a comment about your favorite lines (one of mine is “work through the pain-workin’ through the pain”), I’d love to hear!
