Day of Thanks for December 22

Leo Jul 23 | Aug 22 “There are two kinds of light,” said author James Thurber, “the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.” Lately you have been an abundant source of that first kind of light, Leo. The fire in your heart and the gleam in your eyes have not only brightened the mood wherever you’ve gone. They have also clarified confusing situations, warmed chilly attitudes and healed dispirited allies. Thank you! In the coming weeks, I’d love to see you continue on your hot streak. To help ensure that you do, keep your ego under control. Don’t let it pretend that it owns the light you’re emitting. With a little introspection, you will continue to generate illumination, not glare.

Back in 1986 my Grandma knit myself and my sister an amazing Christmas sweater. My sister found them this year and mailed mine out to me. On December 14th I started the “12 days of Christmas” Tanya Style! Tonight is the 9th day of Christmas so I will be heading over to Chris and Justin’s home for dinner. Each night I have been subjecting my friends to photo shoots with me and the sweater. When we part ways I then post the photos on FaceBook with a blurb about why I am grateful to have them in my life.

Its funny that this horoscope came out 4 days after I started my Christmas countdown. I have definitely have been bringing the ‘light’ to the parties but am completely aware that the beauty of the moments are because of all the love, support and laughter we have been giving each other for many years.

May your holiday season shine brightly!

My buddy Stephanie.

My friend Catherine and her family.

Fellow arts and crafter Chua!

My neighbours Kelly and Victor.

Robert and the Christmas Sweater.

My work crew after the Nut Cracker.

Justin and Chris and of course Marvin!

And my favourite fellow in the world …. Tigger! xo

Day of Thanks for October 13

Leo Jul 23 | Aug 22: American author Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was ahead of his time. He created the genre of the detective story and mastered the art of gothic horror tales. According to the Internet Movie Database, 240 films have referenced themes from his work. British writer Aldous Huxley wasn’t a fan of Poe, though. He said Poe was “too poetical – the equivalent of wearing a diamond ring on every finger.” Judging from the astrological omens, I suspect you may be at risk of lapsing into a diamond-ring-on-every-finger phase yourself, Leo. While I am all in favour of your unveiling more of your radiant beauty, I’m hoping you won’t go too far. How about wearing diamond rings on just four of your fingers?

I was just about to compose a post for FaceBook to explain how I just tied my blog to FaceBook and how I am now going to use FB to get me to the final platform, my own website. I was also going to do a post a day and walk them through the whole thinking process because that is what I did my first year here. Then I realized it was a bit much. The amount you say and the size of the crowd you are speaking to is an inverse relationship. Less is more. Simple. This is why right wing politician rein supreme in the strangest way. Parallel universe is going on. I am slowly stepping into their world but with my words.

Day of Thanks for May 26

I love Sundays. I love my bicycle and my neighbourhood. I love that my cat gets as into new flowers as me. Thank you for a beautiful life.
