| You Are Jean Grey |
 Although your fate is often unknown, you always seem to survive (even after death). Your mind is your greatest weapon, literally! Powers: telepathy and telekinesis, the ability to project thoughts into the mind of others, communication with animals |
| You Are Strength |
 You represent both fiery energy and steadfast will. You are innocent and naive - yet unafraid and undaunted. Perhaps you don't have the most powerful physical strength... But your mental powers make up for any amount of muscle. Your fortune: Lately, you have been a pillar of ethics and moral strength. And while things may be difficult, your faith in yourself will come through. You may need to conquer the animalistic nature of yourself or others, with gentle force. Although this may seem like the darkest hour for you, victory is near. |
| You Were a Peacock |
 You carry yourself with beauty, dignity, and confidence. You are able to see the past, present, and future with clarity. |
| You Are Scooter |
 Brainy and knowledgable, you are the perfect sidekick. You're always willing to lend a helping hand. In any big event or party, you're the one who keeps things going. "15 seconds to showtime!" |
| Your Brain is Green |
 Of all the brain types, yours has the most balance. You are able to see all sides to most problems and are a good problem solver. You need time to work out your thoughts, but you don't get stuck in bad thinking patterns. You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about the future, philosophy, and relationships (both personal and intellectual). |
Yes, having a blog is a wonderfully vain and sel-indulgent thing because I get to exclaim "Happy Birthday" to myself on the WWW (aka - the most extensive communication tool on earth!). So today it has arrived and while my original plan was to try and get the day off work to sleep in and enjoy all things lazy ... I find myself up at 7am preparing to get to the airport for a trip to the Tdot. Told you plans would change. | You Are A Lime Tree |
 You are intelligent, hard working, and innately successful. You try to change what you can in life - and you accept what you can't change. Tough on the outside, you are actually soft and relenting. Jealous at times, you are extremely loyal and giving to those you love. You have many talents, but you don't have enough time to use them. |
This week I present my dear friend Tannys. Tannys became my saving-grace friend while I did my undergrad degree in Sudbury. She started as my T.A. but there was just something about her that made things click and throughout my 3 years at LU she became a great friend (I put her on the "fast track" because she is so awesome!). The thing about Tannys is that she appears very unassuming but she is so inspirational. She has an incredible spirit and ability to support people. She is involved in more activities then I could ever imagine (so many of them volunteer) and is a mom, partner, friend and family-member as well. I really don't know how she does it. On top of all that, even when things are not glowingly fantastic with her she will listen to me bitch about my own troubles. I love her for that. For that, and those "special" nights when she actually decides to join me for a drink.
For the first time in 10 years I have actually updated my information to where I am living. I got a new driver's license and the photo ain't too shabby! I am getting a new health card. I am converting my ID to a local address. It is scary and exciting at the same time. To acknowledge that I am going to be IN Halifax for awhile (until at least August 2008) and to feel that I am making a bit of a life here. Yay for me. OK visitors ... bring it on!
today we celebrate the women ot the world. A chance for me to say that i have a privilege to work for our nation with a group of stimulating and strong women. I really enjoy being in this women world that is Katimavik. Along time ago, in the sixties, my mother (retired social worker) told to her men of her life to share her space equally . all those wemen gave the world a nicer space at work, and in their community for women. Katimavik contribute to a better world, you all make that story a success.
to all the women i'm working with , i say that you are wonderful
| You Are Most Like Miranda! |
 While you've had your fair share of romance, men don't come first Guys are a distant third to your friends and career. And this independence *is* attractive to some men, in measured doses. Remember that if you imagine the best outcome, it might just happen. Romantic prediction: Someone from your past is waiting to reconnect... But you'll have to think of him differently, if you want things to work. |
This week I present my friend Kendra. I met Kendra during my previous Katimavik days and instantly liked her. For me, Katimavik has been a place to meet some of the truly inspirational people in my life and Kendra was one of them. We would sit outside in the cool summer air and talk and drink. Ove the intervening years our lives would cross paths at random times and through unexpected co-friends. The last time I was Kendra was the summer 06 and she was happier thatn I had ever seen her. She introduced me to a new white wine (now my favourite) and to her now fiancee. She also dispensed her usual brand of good sense wisdom and reminded me not to let myself down. She is an amazing person to have in your corner and I am so happy to have her in mine.
I like birthdays. I always have. In two weeks it will be my birthday. YAY! This year is my self-proclaimed "magic" birthday because if you add up the digits in my birthdate they equal 32! This is called a "birthpath number" and is usually added again to get the single digit of 5 for numerology purposes. (You can have fun with real numerology stuff here.)
This is another horoscope post because I haven't done one of those in awhile and I found this week wonderfully complimentary and inspiring (thanks Rob!). Anyway, the picture is of a baobob tree and I didn't take it (although it totally looks like one I would take) and it is the theme of my horoscope...
