about me
It is important to me to stay connected with the world I inhabit in the now and share the things I have learned, and am learning, from my journey. Turtle reminds me I am always at home in the world no matter where I am.
I need to be needed, enjoy nurturing and supporting my loved ones, but even more I need to give creative form to my imagination. Sometimes daydreaming is enough, but I must create.
I enjoy finding the things that feed my soul then incorporating these things into my life. They include friendship, love, compassion, art, communication, community, expressing my creativity, sewing, dancing, being in touch with nature, horticulture, herbs, cooking good food, self healing, massage, music under the stars, watching the moon, watching the waves in the ocean, standing around a fire with people, hard work, play, taking things less seriously, weirdness, laughter, the absurd, and new experiences.

I leave for Mexico on the 5th. The Turtle Hat Project went well. Josh came over last night even though he was sick to help me cut patterns. I have about 10 kids hats cut out, and will make about 10 more. So, about 20 kids will gat a hat! I did not have 20 people sponsor a kid, but those (8 people) who gave were generous and I was able to get a lot of fun fur. I also had some fur donations. So I'm making lots of hats!
I wonder if I'll have trouble giving them away? Will the kids take them? ...

Your sun sign is Cancer. This is the sign in which the Sun is in your birth chart. Your Ascendant is in Leo, and your Moon is in Sagittarius.
Sun in Cancer, Moon in Sagittarius
You were born with the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Sagittarius. This astrological combination produces a complex individual. Internally, you are natural, easy-going, and home-loving. You are perceptive of your environment and all external influences. You are sensitive to others and are most appreciative of a frank, spontaneous, and friendly relationship.
Others see you as a restless and unstable personality, both mentally and physically. Nevertheless, your disposition appears honorable, kind, and sincere. You are very active and fond of exerting yourself physically in sports and athletics. You have a strong intuition, and people may come to you for advice. A talented person, you have the potential for developing genius in philosophy and religion. Your problem is that you tend to be narrow-minded and sectarian, forgetting that the views of others can be as valid as yours. You are a person with a basic inner conflict, because internally you are natural and at ease, while externally, you passionately pursue the realization of your higher ideals. Harmonizing these two tendencies will be the secret of a better integration of yourself.
Ascendant in Leo, Sun in the Eleventh House
At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Leo was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler the Sun is located in the eleventh house.
People with Leo in the Ascendant seem to possess a flair for the life of nobility and regality. Your life will be in many ways influenced by decisions you make that have been motivated by your pride, desire for power, for authority, and your need to convince others of your courage.
In life you will act with a rather frank, generous, and amiable disposition. The course of events in your life will unfold themselves swiftly, and a life full of chance and circumstances will be the outcome of your desire to rule, to organize, to hold the keys of authority. You should be aware that as a result of overly strong impulses there is the danger of failures and upsets in life. You will be generally regarded as an amiable, sincere and generous person who, however, has much pride and sensitivity. Egocentricity is one of the prices of being born with the Ascendant sign of Leo. Another aspect of this zodiacal sign is that your personality becomes excessively charged with passion and sexual desire. On the other hand, these zodiacal signs grant in life a large dose of vitality as well as a fine physical shape and a strong, healthy constitution.
Willpower is a characteristic of your personality. You seek opportunities and when you find them you go to it, using both your mind and your emotions to strive for success with zeal and determination. You are very self-assured and you implement ideas with a self- assurance that lets nothing get in your way of success.
It would be beneficial to you, however, if you were not so candid and frank and if you did not expect others to act and feel as you do.
Leo will grant you very sincere and affectionate relationships in which you desire to bring happiness and an overall feeling of charitable spirit and warmth to your loved one. In your sexual relationships you appear as happy, strong, playful and even a little innocent.
You will always act better as a leader than a subordinate.
This position denotes that friendships will have a direct bearing on all your important events. The position is rather favorable. You should obtain the sympathy and approval of superiors and persons of authority, or any of those who in some degree are more powerful than you are in your professional circle. Whatever profession you may be engaged in, you will rise due to your own inborn traits. You are very sociable, ambitious respectful, and attracted to conventional fashions and customs.
Moon in the Fifth House
The Moon was found in the fifth house at the time of your birth. This indicates that you will participate actively in business speculations with many changes occurring in this respect. You were born with a knack for dealing with people and with the ability to communicate with them, particularly in connection with business enterprises.
Your emotional nature is very much geared to your love of pleasure, and you possess a very curious aptitude which may bring you financial gains as well as pleasures in business.
In spite of the positive qualities you have, the fact of the matter is that in love you are very changeable, unstable, or too preoccupied with trivialities.
Your love feelings are very well developed and lead to strong drives for sensations and passionate tendencies which unfortunately are not directed to one object alone.
It is possible that throughout life you may be connected with small and numerous business investments with a fairly good return.
Venus in the Tenth House
Venus was found in the tenth house at the time of birth.
You will appear as a person who seeks harmony, inclined as you are to observe the aesthetic value of all things in life, to engage in artistic activities and to possess all that is lovely and beautiful. You have sufficient potential to achieve success in life, especially if your occupation is artistic or musical.
Much of your success is a consequence of applied interest and hard work; you posses merit and ability, and your congenial, intelligent manner produces a very exalted image.
In any case, there are very good possibilities for the acquisition of some social distinction, a good reputation and financial success at some period of your life.
Sun in the Eleventh House
The Sun was found in the eleventh house at the time of birth.
In general, this is a favorable position. Throughout your life you will receive assistance from persons occupying superior positions in life. After middle age there are strong possibilities that you will gain in reputation and esteem through relationships with people of prominence. Destiny may grant you sufficient strength of character and even opportunities to carry out your wishes to their utmost.
Spiritually, you seem to have a loyal disposition and you are straightforward and honestly oriented. You're very well aware, however, of a sense of superiority and dignity.
Saturn in the Twelfth House
Saturn was in the twelfth house at the time of birth. This planet may place many unpleasant and annoying obstacles in your life, and intensify the feelings you have about the limitations of your environment.
Your professional honor affects your feelings very much and you are well satisfied when things go well. Destiny may have to teach you to tell the difference between fact and fantasy more clearly.
Certain complexes nest in your subconscious and show up in your mind as hypersensitivity, wanting to be alone and to do things by yourself so no one will know how you feel. You need a bit of humor and self-confidence.
Saturn Conjunct Ascendant
Saturn conjunct the Ascendant indicates that you are conservative and self-disciplined. You tend to be shy about asserting yourself, so people may assume you are indifferent to them.
Your lack of self-confidence will eventually be replaced by self-assurance as you learn through experience to understand yourself. You do not have the kind of aggressive drive that impresses people on first meeting, but you show reliability, and they learn to depend on you.
You are efficient in mobilizing your resources and are sure to realize your goals, but you underestimate your abilities.
Responsible to a fault, you will never let anyone down who depends on you. Learn to love yourself more, so you can feel you deserve the good things in life that you work for so diligently. You can be victimized by people who take advantage of your unwillingness to fight for your rights, but you never forget such incidents.

Oooh, I love me some Turtle. Every visit is a bit of groovy inspiration. Its not every day you meet a gal who knows her wine, can rollerskate, makes her own costumes, and make you giggle when you talk to her.
Yay Turtle!

Well, I've only met the Turtle once but we did a lot of bonding in one short weekend. I found her to be sparkly, funny, saracastic (tops), hospitable (makes a mean guacamole), and downright fun to be around. If we can become friends in one weekend... impressive. You Rock.

This Fire Jenga superstar knows a waxing gibbous moon from a waning gibbous moon!

Turtle is an incredibly gifted girl that seems to be able to put her hands right into the middle of her imagination. It’s a rare thing to imagine or dream and have the ability or sheer will to make it real. She is a gifted dancer, so when she says she dances her heart out; that is the honest truth. Watching her fire dance is an amazing experience! You can learn incredible details about her by watching her move. Her poise tells a story. I like to stare at her hands when she is making things. Her dexterity when driven by her talent is hypnotic. She has a light that shines right through to others, as if her whole body is a window to the bright, lovely soul within. If you don’t know her already… get with the program!

Turtle is genuine and innocent. She is playful and delightful to be around. She is fearless and strong, and perhaps it is because she is encased in some sort of shell, but I think the shell may just be for emergencies. I have never seen her hide in it. Did I mention that she is beautiful? Yes, she radiates beauty, love and warmth.

Turtle is one of my favoritest people ever. She's smart and funny and super hot, not only in appearance but also in personality and abilities. I love the fact that she's always trying to learn--about new things to do, about other people, and most importantly, about herself. Few people are as capable of looking objectively at themselves and learning about themselves as Turtle is, and she has a wonderful balance between looking out for herself and looking out for those she cares about. I've definitely learned a thing or two from her about how I want to "be". And she's a great shower buddy. :)

She is the bestest. =) She has lots of love to give, is super funky stylish,
and knows how to make a fashion nightmare like myself look good! I keep
meeting incredible people everywhere I go whose lives have been touched by
Turtle, which makes me think that she must be a karmic bazillionaire by now.
