Did you catch that super blue moon last Wednesday night? I told you it was going to be awesome! If you missed it, you’ll have to wait until January 2037 to catch another super blue moon. I took a picture for you though, just in case.

Our annual company meeting last month was a roaring success. Full attendance with constant input and feedback made it one of our best yet and confirmed the importance of carving out time to do this every year. Sneak peek of the most significant change next year…….we’re moving.!! The IH35 expansion is forcing us to relocate, but we see it as Spirit helping us grow bigger and better. We’ll be looking for a place with better parking, more square footage for both the retail store and the depot plus space that will allow us to better serve our community and enlighten our customers with a more versatile community event center. We’ll keep you posted each month with our progress and appreciate everyone's positive energy with this massive endeavor.

Because of that late second moon last month our full “Harvest” or “Corn” moon in September won’t arrive until 5am on the 28th, so the 29th will the best date for cleansing crystals. September also hosts our Fall Equinox aka First Day of Fall on the 23rd and because the moon will rise around the same time as sunset during the equinox, it’ll seem like there is extra light to enjoy the great out doors (or harvest crops if that’s your gig). Another day to mark on your calendars will be the 15th of September. Mercury went retrograde on August 23rd and will go direct on this day. Yay!

Fall brings visions of colorful landscapes with brightly colored leaves. I always thought that cooler temperatures created this glory, but came to find out it’s more because of less sunlight and photosynthesis. Actually it’s a combination of less light, lack of nutrients and less water. If it’s going to be sunny during transition time the colors will be brighter and if it’s cooler colors will be more vivid. If it’s a wet season it’ll be the best as droughts make for poor color and early leaf drop so plan your viewing trips accordingly. If you can’t get away to see nature in her radiant glory maybe take advantage of that extra light we’ll have during the Equinox and go find some water to sit by. Research has found that the sound and energy of water boosts us spiritually, emotionally and physically. While you’re sitting there close your eyes for a few minutes. They have also found that just closing your eyes actually boosts brain power. So, next time you’re near water or even in water, close your eyes for a few minutes and ask your questions. Now, let your boosted brain work for you and listen for what your mind has helped you process.
