July Quotes
“The serene philosophy of the pink rose is steadying. Its fragrant, delicate petals open fully and are ready to fall, without regret or disillusion, after only a day in the sun. It is so every summer. One can almost hear their pink, fragrant murmur as they settle down upon the grass: ‘Summer, summer, it will always be summer.'”

Spirit Library: Too Much, Too Fast
Brenda Hoffman
Dear Ones,
Stop doing and start being – a phrase you have heard many times throughout your transition.
You likely need to regenerate now because you utilized so much inner energy the past few days. Your decisions have been made. And your actions, as a result of those decisions, have either been completed or initiated.

EarthSky News:Epsilon Lyrae is the famous Double Double star
Epsilon Lyrae (ε Lyrae), also known as the Double Double star, is full of surprises. Through binoculars, what appears as one star to the unaided eye resolves into two. Through a telescope, each star in that pair resolves into two again, making four stars. And in the mid-1980s, astronomers detected a fifth star in the system. Bound together by gravity, these five stars appear as one to our unaided eyes 162 light-years away.

Inner Journey:
MAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF
“What is it that makes all of us end each day with the sense that we have not lived our time, but have been lived, used by what we do?”
— Jacob Needleman
How can you free up more time for yourself?
All of the great masters counsel that we need time daily for solitude. And if we want our journey in life to be meaningful, then surely we need some free time each day to explore our inner landscapes and uncover our passions. What activities can you cut out of your life to give you more growing room?
“Why has time disappeared in our culture? How is it that after decades of inventions and new technologies devoted to saving time and labor, the result is that there is no time left? We are a time-poor society; we are temporally impoverished. And there is no issue, no aspect of human life, that exceeds this in importance. The destruction of time is literally the destruction of life.”
— Jacob Needleman

A Note from the Universe
It’s rather challenging for those here who’ve never experienced time and space to actually grasp how formidable you sometimes think your illusions are, because, quite frankly, they see the world around you as just more you.
Cool, huh?

Today’s Recipe: Get the Party Started With This Bacon-Packed Caramelized Onion Dip Recipe
Dips are the way to get a party started, and this caramelized onion dip will be the first one to disappear. Caramelizing onions releases their natural sugars, and smoky bacon complements that sweetness, making this dip really special. Serve with crackers, chips, crostini, carrots, celery, or radishes.

Today’s Tarot: Wednesday: The Devil
Some days you just want to be self-indulgent, and today is one of those days. Put those feelings on the back burner while at work or out in public. After the serious part of the day is over, the danger actually increases for you. Don’t overindulge and make yourself sick or regretful. Sometimes too much of a good thing is too much, and you want to start tomorrow feeling good.
Today’s Tarot Thursday: Justice
You may be dealing with people who feel inferior or weaker than you, so take care to not run over anyone. Equally, they do not have to serve as an excuse for you to go slower or do less than you know is necessary. Be firm but not too firm, determined but not too determined. Get a lot of good work done.
