MBG: Room-By-Room Ideas For Displaying Your Book Collection At Home
If you ask me where books “belong,” according to feng shui, there’s not a single place I can rule out. Books are fabulous everywhere. That said, books are filled with symbolism, stories, wisdom, and personal associations, and they, therefore, carry a lot of energy. And feng shui can certainly give us ideas about how to display and channel that energy to create positivity at home.

EarthSky News: Spectacular! Moon, Venus before sunrise
Before sunrise these next several mornings – August 14, 15 and 16, 2020 – watch for the waning crescent moon to pair up with the dazzling planet Venus in the predawn/dawn sky. It’d be hard to miss these brilliant beauties, as the moon and Venus rank as the 2nd-brightest and 3rd-brightest celestial bodies, respectively, after the sun. Moreover, you might still see a sprinkling of Perseid meteors, although the Perseid shower is past its peak.

Last week a Facebook friend asked if anyone had been to any place in the United States that felt especially powerful. The responses were generally affirmative, with examples of places people had been where they had strong experiences, or just felt like they were in the presence of something sacred.

Inner Journey:
TAKE TIME TO BE STILL
“Work is not always required … there is such a thing as sacred idleness, the cultivation of which is now fearfully neglected.”
— George MacDonald
When was the last time you did absolutely nothing?
Our world is so addicted to productivity that we feel guilty if we’re not doing something. But taking time daily to be still and inactive opens us to the spacious present. It nurtures and restores balance. Give yourself a regular gift of inactivity.
“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.”
— Sir J. Lubbock

A Note from the Universe
Can you keep a secret?
You know the space between you and all things, the void. Like right now, the space between you and your computer.
That’s where I hide… and watch.
Looking to see what your expectations are: of yourself, others, abundance, health, and happiness.
And from this space as I catch your thoughts, hear your words, and see all you do, no matter where we are, I manifest the next moment in time.

Eternity
“The eternity of the moment.”
-Hermann Hesse (1877-1962)
The beauty of the moment. It all comes down to that really. We can’t predict the future, it can change with a thought. We can’t change the past, what’s done is done. But we can live in, and enjoy, and appreciate this precious present moment. When we are totally in the moment, time stands still.
-Lissa Coffey

Daily Tarot: The Fool
The day may be full of confusion but you don’t have to go through it naively and unaware of what’s happening around you. It’s not a good day to flirt with taking silly risks, some of which might turn out to be semi-dangerous or costly. You may be too hyper to want to play it safe, but at least make an effort to not be naïve or irresponsible.
