Astrological Prayer
Alright, no one get offended. I received this in an e-mail and thought it was funny and cute. S0; since it is so cute and funny I thought I would share with all of my friends out there in cyber space.
Astrological Prayer
Aries:
Dear God, please give my patience........and could you do it right now?
Taurus:
Dear God, help me accept change, but not too fast.
Gemini:
Dear God! Who is God? Where is God? Why is God?
Cancer:
Dear God!!!!
Leo:
Yes.
Virgo:
Dear God, please God make us prefect and don't mess it up like You did the last time.
Libra:
Dear God, help me to be decisive, on the other hand, what do you think is best?
Scorpio:
Our father, forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors, even though the B****ds don't deserve it!
Sagittarius:
Dear Lord, if I've told you once, I've told you a million times, help me stop exaggerating.
Capricorn:
Dear God, I'd like to ask you to help me, but i learned a long time ago not to rely on anyone else.
Aquarius:
Dear God, I know I like change, but this chaos is ridiculous!
Pisces:
Dear Lord, as long as I'm going to drink this fifth of scotch tonight, please use the stimulation for thy glory.
AMEN
I still think that this is very cute. I am a Pisces and since I am not really a drinker I guess it is not quite me. Leave me a comment and let me know if your sign fits you.

Woman Embracing Womanhood
There are many ways and myriad reasons for women to honor and embrace all that they are. And when any individual woman chooses to do so, all women collectively move closer to becoming what they are truly capable of being. By honoring her experience and being willing to share it with others—both male and female—she teaches as she learns. When she can trust herself and her inner voice, she teaches those around her to trust her as well. Clasping hands with family members and friends, coworkers and strangers in a shared walk through the journey of life, she allows all to see the self-respect she possesses and accepts their respect, too, that is offered through look, word, and deed. When a woman can look back into her past, doing so without regret and instead seeing only lessons that brought her to her current strength and wisdom, she embraces the fullness of her experience. She helps those around her to build upon the past as she does. And when she chooses to create her desires, she places her power in the present and moves forward with life into the future. Seeing her own divinity, a woman learns to recognize the divinity in all women. She then can see her body as a temple, appreciating its feminine form and function, regardless of what age or stage of life she finds herself. She can enjoy all that it brings to her experience and appreciate other women and their experiences as well. Rather than seeing other women as competition, she can look around her to see the cycle of life reflected in the beauty of her sisters, reminding her of her own radiance should she ever forget. She can then celebrate all the many aspects that make her a being worthy of praise, dancing to express the physical, speaking proudly to express her intellect, sharing her emotions, and leading the way with her spiritual guidance. Embracing her womanhood, she reveals the facets that allow her to shine with the beauty and strength of a diamond to illuminate her world...

A Woman Should Know
By MAYA ANGELOU
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own, even if she never wants to or needs to...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ... something perfect to wear if the employer, or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..
. a youth she's content to leave behind....
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ... a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age....
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ... a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ... a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal, that will make her guests feel honored...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ... a feeling of control over her destiny....
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW ...
how to fall in love without losing herself...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW ... how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without ruining the friendship...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW ...
when to try harder... and WHEN TO WALK AWAY...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW ... that she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW ... that her childhood may not have been perfect...but it's over...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW ...
what she would and wouldn't do for love or more...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW ... how to live alone... even if she doesn't like it...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW ...
whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she shouldn't take it personally...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW ... where to go... be it to her best friend's kitchen table... or a charming inn in the woods... when her soul needs soothing...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW ... what she can and can't accomplish in a day... a month..and a year...
A powerful question to ask herself daily (or hourly) is this: "Am I operating from a consciousness of love and abundance, or a consciousness of fear and scarcity?" How you are feeling will give you a clue--love feels wonderful, peaceful. Fear feels nervous, anxious, even panicky.
Where are you creating from?
