Oh, also, if you have a moment could you mention some of your favorite items from the apothecary? I would like to order for my daughters for Valentine’s Day. Thank you.❤️
Happy Lunar New Year, Jesse. I have been trying to message you regarding a small technical account management issue and can’t seem to figure out how. In the process of turning off my automatic subscription renewals I accidentally cancelled my paid subscription to your account. And I don’t think it is over until August, at which time of course I’ll renew it. I’ll keep trying to fix the problem, but if you happen to see this could you let me know how to be reinstated? Thank you, Jesse.:-)
Happy Lunar New Year Jesse ! I was born in the year of the snake so I’m excited for this year of the wood snake ! Here’s to a cycle of hope and renewal ! 🐍 ❤️
I must admit that when I initially heard that this was the year of the wood snake, I was a little disturbed - having a somewhat irrational fear of snakes:)
However, your quote, "We are encouraged to rely on our insights and instincts, delving into introspection to make transformative decisions, " is definitely something I can live with. Indeed, I have started doing it already today in a small way (I'm just looking into an alternative way to publish my memoir).
Also, I had already donned a red shirt before I read your note, so I am off to a good start.
There are challenging times ahead, I recognise that. We cannot bury our heads ostrich-like in the sand and pretend things are not happening. We can stay informed and stick to our destiny plan, though - undeterred and unmistakable in RED:)
Yes Fred, that is exactly what I am finding. I had a friend who had her book published by Harper Collins last year and has yet to see a penny of the promised amount. I was going to go the Amazon Kindle route, but today, I looked into a reputable company in the UK, which may seem an odd choice, but strategy is involved:) I really want to get it out there one way or the other in the fall.
Thank you for this post! I love celebrating Lunar New Year (aka, "The Great Do-over"--as I coined it the year that my mother died shortly after calendar New Year...
What I particularly appreciate is your helping me get past my "issues" with snakes so I can see the year of the Wood Snake with much kinder eyes!
(And yesterday, I was having one of those days, too. And today, I'm back on track.) Something I always need to remind myself of--that this too, will pass. Thank goodness for the "Laura's" in our lives.
I like this one much better than the traditional one, much less pressure Lol. Came down with a nasty cold but I am/was moving in the right direction and will get back into the rhythm of things once I shake it off, no biggie, part of winter to an extent. Some Chinese chicken noodle soup wouldn't hurt ;o)
Yes, I believe we will hit 50 degrees on Monday after 5 degrees in the wind chill last week! I got sick at the beginning of the year and threw down copious amounts of 'Wellness Formula' For some reason that stuff always works for me:)
I’m inspired to wear red today by you! Happy wood snake 🐍 New Year.
This may sound odd, but when I experience an awful chaotic day, a day where few things go according to plan, I put on knee pads and fill a bucket with vinegar solution and wash my floors. Then I dry them with towel rags I keep clean for such an occasion.
Honestly, after I’m finished I feel better about being able to do something positive and my floors look so happy.
All the best for the Lunar New Year of the Wood Snake. I’ve sat quietly as the New Moon falls on the 9th degree exact on my Chiron that is in Aquarius in the 4th house along with my Moon and Mercury at later degrees. Lots being lit in my chart, (Saturn over my ♓️☀️🙄)So care, reflection and where country, home, ancestry, interconnectedness and global home safety for all can be examined. With everything that is happening externally, I’m finding solace doing my art and writing project on Delacroix. Delving into his diaries has been medicinal. For me, there is nothing like opening ourselves to another artist’s mind, heart and world. Community soothes as it educates through empathy and feeds camaraderie. So I end this with gratitude to you dear Jesse, for indulging my word stream and for bringing this community together by opening yourself up to us and allowing for this safe space to share. 🙏

Lee, do let us know when you've figured out how you'll be publishing your Memoir, I for one would be very interested in reading it.
I know there are better qualified people here on the topic but I have heard that self publishing is now a not unrealistic option!?
Keep us updated!

Why not! As long as they're willing to work with you I'd say give it a go. Plus you're familiar with the UK in general and how they do things.
I can only imagine how hard it is to get one's work published by some of the big publishers here in the U.S.
Fall sounds like a good time to put it out to the world, we can look forward to Yours & Patti's books! (as my daughter says ..Yayyy! ;o)

Be well & have a great day!
Feel better Fred:)
Thank you Lee, I appreciate it, been jamming on the ol tea & honey.
Hope you're enjoying this balmy weather we're having in late january Lol!
Take Care Friend ;o)
