Death Cap (Amanita phalloides)

Death Cap (Amanita phalloides)

Tonight, I’m at the top of the proverbial mountain. I’ve arrived at the pinnacle.
This is it. Ta-da.
Tomorrow is my birthday, the one that changes everything. It’s the big four-oh.
No, I’m not Sisyphus. There is no huge boulder to roll back downhill, allowing me to start over. My punishment reward is to keep going.
Here’s what I’m blessed with: I’m comfortable in my own skin; I have a strong sense of self; Being 40 is 10 times easier than being 20.
I’ll get through this, even if it kills me.

Only good girls keep diaries. Bad girls don’t have time.
Quotation from Tallulah Bankhead

“I was blackballed by seven Pizza joints.” (Sarah Colonna on Youtube)

A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.
Quotation from Maya Angelou

Do Not Use Elevator

Do Not Use Elevator

Everyone has a charm to ward off evil. Some wear tiny crosses at their throats. Others wear copper bracelets to ward off disease. I know a man who won’t walk under a ladder because it’s “bad luck.” Rabbits feet were popular a century ago as good luck charms. Wearing “lucky” socks, underpants or hats are common charms against injury or defeat. I turn the other way whenever a black cat crosses my path. I cross my fingers for luck. I also cross them behind my back when I tell a white lie.

Carrying a cat whisker in the glove box of the car protects against car theft, troubles, accidents and traffic tickets.

Motivation

I hate Monday mornings. The alarm clock is unmerciful in its exactness. Oh, what would I do if every morning were Monday, and patience a sin.

There is a time for departure even when there’s no certain place to go.
Quotation from Tennessee Williams

China 6,000 / The Moon 384,000

China 6,000 / The Moon 384,000

This is the time of the Strawberry Moon. But if a spell is necessary, don’t become overly reliant on the phase of the moon. The Moon is just one influence on how you live your life.

The three nights before the New Moon are known as the Dark of the Moon. As energies are uncertain and unpredictable at this time, casting spells in this period is not advised.
Quotation from MoonSlipper.com

The most valuable thing I have learned from life is to regret nothing.
Quotation from Somerset Maugham

Fee-Fi-Fo-Fudder, I Smell the Blood of a Shareholder

Fee-Fi-Fo-Fudder, I Smell the Blood of a Shareholder

Jack the Giant Killer is my least favorite fairy tale. Jack climbed up the beanstalk and he stole gold coins from the Giant. He went back a second time and stole a hen that laid golden eggs. Lastly, greedy Jack stole a talking harp that cried out to the Giant for help. And for that, Jack is considered a HERO??? Jack probably grew up to be CEO at a major investment bank.

What about the poor Giant?
Fee! Fie! Foe! Fum!
I smell the blood of an Englishmun.
Be he ‘live, or be he dead,
I’ll grind his bones to make my bread.
~Quotation from the fairy tale, Jack and the Beanstalk
It’s rumored he became a hedge fund manager.
