Super Moon
— June 23, 2013

Be sure to look out for the Moon these next few months as it approaches Perigee, because the full moons during these times will appear exceptionally large. The Moon will be at its Perigee, or closest approach, in July 23 and it will reach full moon only a few minutes after it passes this point in its orbit.

These ‘super moons’ not only appear larger because they are physically closer but, combined with a full moon, the mind can play tricks on you to think they are much larger. This phenomena is called the Moon Illusion. Try to catch these full moons as they rise/set because the illusion works when there is an object in the foreground, like a tree, building or mountains.

Stargazing Events for 2013

Love comes in many sizes and shapes and forms.

Here is what this lady says about her love for this cow, “Submitted by: Colleen Patrick-Goudreau

“This is my favorite photo in the world - me and Linus, born to a dairy cow and ordered to be killed when the farmer saw he was a male (and thus useless in the dairy industry). A compassionate individual intervened, and he was brought to a sanctuary. I met him when he was a few days old and 60 pounds, and he would always try to sit on my lap. Today, 7 years young and 1500 pounds, he still tries to sit on my lap.”

From another friend. “I walk with the sacred cow every day for it’s part of living a life of sovereignty since I was a young girl. I always adored the cows. My grandmother loved owls, so they came with me too. My mother frogs and now bears. What you collect, you must embody, once you embody the energy you will not have the urge to collect things anymore and perhaps move on to another.”
