Senate honored Augustus Caesar, the first Roman emperor, by changing the name of their month “Sextilis” to “Augustus.” Middle English speakers inherited the name of the month of August, but it wasn’t until the mid-1600s that “august” came to be used generically in English, more or less as “augustus” was in Latin, to refer to someone with imperial qualities.

Inner Journey:
CO-CREATION STARTS WITH IMAGINATION
“It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question.”
— Decouvertes
“The man who has no imagination has no wings.”
— Muhammad Ali
Imagination is a tool of the soul. Our imagination gives us the opportunity to ‘try on’ new qualities and perspectives in our life. Through imagination, we can explore our past, problems, patterns, processes, plans, perceptions, principles, passions and purpose to uncover new possibilities.
Without imagination, we stay stuck in the realm of the material, the past, the superficial and the literal. We remain one-tracked, instinctual and one-dimensional.
Our imagination comes from the soul, subconscious and senses. Only through our imagination can we become multidimensional, experience more love, create more beauty, manifest more results, change our conditions, rewrite the past, and connect with divinity, purpose and others.
“You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, ‘Why not?'”
— George Bernard Shaw
“Reason can answer questions, but imagination has to ask them.”
— Ralph Gerard

Today’s Recipe: Margaret’s Keftedes (Greek Meatballs)
This is my yia yia’s recipe–a family favorite straight from the village of Kyparissia. Serve as an appetizer or with tzatziki, Greek salata, and pita or pasta for a full meal. They taste best served at room temp and make for wonderful leftovers. If you don’t care for lamb, try using all beef instead.

Victory
“Do not scorn little victories.”
-Andre Gide (1869-1951)
Can we leap to the top of a mountain? That would be a difficult task. But what we can do is to climb a mountain, one step at a time. Each step that brings us toward that peak is a victory in itself. It takes effort, it takes vision, and it takes persistence. When we get discouraged, thinking the goal is too far off in the distance, we can look back and see just how far we’ve come
-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Daily Tarot: Justice
A past wrong against you might be set right today. It’s important that you give others a fair chance and don’t automatically discount what they have to say or offer. You don’t need to satisfy everyone but you do need to make the effort to let them have their say and their moment to contribute. Be confident and don’t feel threatened by anything.
