I finally did it! I’m signed up in the apprentice program at the Forrest Center for Evolutionary Astrology with Steven Forrest (and his team)… my all time favorite astrologer! This has been a dream of mine ever since I took the Lunar Abundance course with Dr. Ezzie Spencer back in 2014… which subsequently led me to find Steven Forrest and the inspiration to start this blog in 2015!
I’ve always wanted to go to one of his workshops at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies but never found the time to. My job tends to consume a fair amount of my time and now that I’m learning there is no time than right now… I jumped even deeper and signed up to become a certified apprentice on the road to becoming a master astrologer and professional.
The first program is 7 weeks. And then you can go on to Craftsman and then Master PROFESSIONAL Astrologer! ✨ Can’t stop.. won’t stop!
I toyed around with MANY ideas on how I can help others navigate through some of life’s hardest lessons… thought about becoming a professional astrologer…going back to school to study Religion and Theology… becoming a Death Doula… or a Somatic Psychotherapist… I even got certified as a Yoga teacher and owned my own studio before the pandemic came.
But my own limiting (and scattered) belief that time, money, and a clear direction was the issue for WHY I never did any of those… I kept hearing myself say I wanted this and that… but only ever stayed scared to take the plunge. (I should give myself HUGE props for owning a yoga studio… but it was a HUGE sacrifice and required a lot more time than I had to give… the pandemic was a blessing there… and I do desire to teach again eventually…just not manage it!)
NOW is all we have… let the knowledge flow through me and let it benefit everyone I interact with. Let us share and teach each other how to walk through this life together and make our time NOW taste sweet!
My oldest and first nephew graduated high school this past weekend. ❤️💙 Can’t believe how much they have grown!!! Many blessings and wishes for them both! May their hearts always be filled with love and joy and the intent to do good in this world!
And just like that… as my nephew says… all gas, no brakes! Here they come!
New Bedside Reads… Accompanied by Grandpa Guarino’s Jesus and St. Anne.
I’m super excited about all of these!
Meggan Watterson is one of my favorite authors and Theologists! I read Mary Magdalene Revealed and it has been my top favorite adulthood read! And so I am sure Reveal with be just as good!
Started Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey earlier this week! I love a good memoir type book! Although he calls his book more of an “Approach Book” or “Play book”… I feel like there will be, and already are from what I’ve already read, some really good insights to life.
The last two books are guilty pleasures… love stories by Beatriz Williams and Colleen Hoover… who doesn’t LOVE a good love story?
And Jerry Seinfeld… well… he reminds me of my dad… and laughing.., so naturally I picked it up!
It’s been a week and two days since you’ve been gone… and it still feels so very unreal. I keep thinking you’ll walk through the door at work… with your hair and nails done… and your earrings…. you’d probably beat my ass for posting this pic of you without your hair done… but I would have told you you looked pretty regardless! I always thought it was magical you went on Fridays to get your hair done. But I post this pic… bc it’s of me and you, and we sent this snap to my mom in Virginia so that you could say hey to her. You two… the Scorpio Birthday buds… 🦂 Debra, I love you so much… and I know you know that… bc we told each other nearly every day “I love you.” My heart is sad. I lost one of my most favorite coworkers of all times. I remember the day you came in for your interview and I fell in love with you immediately. I knew in my heart that we needed you. I still need you. Ten years I had the pleasure of knowing you. Ten years your smile and sassiness lit up the office. Outreaches with you were always my favorite… you’d always start the day saying “Let’s get it poppin”… and we’d bust our asses seeing a million patients… we’d go to get food after and you’d always want your hamburger or sandwich or chicken sandwich cut in half. I always laughed at your detailed orders. And your gospel music in the morning… you were such a devoted gospel singer for over 25 years and your heart was devoted to Jesus. I feel okay and at peace to know that you are finally in your righteous place in Heaven with your precious Lord Jesus. Life here on Earth will miss you like fucking crazy. I love you Debra Ann. Come visit me in spirit form! 😘
