According to Sandy

Regardless of the stories about full Moons and what they do to people, we won’t necessarily grow fangs or act out at the sight of the silver orb at 10:18PM Pacific Time on Friday January 29, 2010.  A full Moon lets us know that we are on the “dark side”, but this doesn’t have to be a negative, it is just going into crescent view.

At “full” phase, the Moon is “waning”, on its way to the 3rd and 4th quarters, therefore, it is a good time to clean up and finish old projects. Clearing out the old, gives space for the new.

BTW, the best time to create, start, plant new things is from the beginning of a “New Moon” phase thru the 2nd quarter – “waxing”.

The upcoming Full Moon occurs in the fun, generous, “look at me” sign of Leo.  With its up beat energy, Leo can help us get rid of all the odds and ends and enjoy ourselves while we do.

(BTW:  The next “New Moon” will be on Feb 13, 2010)

“The Save Darfur Coalition” is an alliance of over 180 faith-based, advocacy and human rights organizations whose mission is to raise public awareness about the ongoing genocide in Darfur and to mobilize a unified response to the atrocities that threaten the lives of more than two million people in the Darfur region.”

There are 2 informational DVDs about the situation in the Sudan:

“The Devil Came on Horseback”, 2007  and  “Darfur Now”, 2007 directed by Ted Braun.   The documentaries capture, thru images and interviews, the seemingly endless horror escalating among the Sudanese.  These films are calls for intervention, both moral and diplomatic.

2010  –  “Another Opening, Another Show”

A blank calendar, a blank slate –  to create, to contribute, to cram full of the good things in life.

btw: “Another Opening, Another Show” is from “Kiss Me Kate”, Cole Porter musical (Broadway 1948, film 1953)

“Another op’nin, another show
In Philly, Boston, or Baltimo’
A chance for stage folks to say hello!
Another op’nin of another show.”
