Summer Sunrises Paranormal-Scope

Balance Pose by lobster 20 at freedigitalphotos.net

In the summer we think of fun things to do. Every sunrise brings with it a new adventure. A part of us that will be children forever awakes and wants to run amok!

While I am not qualified in any way to read neither stars nor planets I am intimately linked to the paranormal in the world in many ways. So are you.

The paranormal-scope is for entertainment and is not meant to guide your life.

Aries:
Faeries blow bubbles in the woods and jump on top of them to fly away. Plan to do something special for yourself.

Taurus:
Mermaids float near the locales of concerts near the shore just so they can sing along. Find a group you think might have fun activities. Check them out first.

Gemini:
Gnomes are following cats. Don’t ask me why? It’s a new behavior on their part and I haven’t a clue. Try doing something new.

Cancer:
Pixies are chasing pugs. It’s a new game. Look into the different kinds of games. You might find one you would enjoy.

Leo:
Vampires are wearing white so they blend in with everyone else on a sweet summer’s night. Update your fashion choices.

Virgo:
Sprites are doing the 3k races. Don’t be discouraged if someone supernatural is faster than you. Enjoy the exercise of your choice. Remember always check with your physician first.

Libra
Goblins have found a hoard of gold. It’s called a rainy day fund for a reason. It may rain and your roof might leak. Add to your savings plan.

Scorpio:
Gremlins are repairing toasters. Usually, they take things apart, but this group seems to like toast. Make yourself a great breakfast for a week. Then see how you feel.

Sagittarius:
Shapeshifters like yoga outfits. It works for them. Some need extra padding as they are rough and tumble. Find out if any of this is for you. Meditate on it.

Capricorn:
Were-rabbits are wreaking havoc in the gardens. Any good garden shop has some natural remedies that are not poisonous. Be very careful with garden and household products. Read the warnings before your buy.

Aquarius:
Werewolves are having howling fun. They’ve gotten together with some friends for a day at the beach. Plan an outing with your friends.

Pisces:
Butterflies don’t have to be were. They started out supernatural in nature. Smoking hookas will do that to you. They do know how to enjoy life. Enjoy the wonders in your life. There are many!

Thank you and be safe.

Why I Watch the Sunrise By Susan Hanniford Crowley

On many of the important days in my life, I have gotten up just before sunrise. It always floods my being with gratitude and high hopes.

Lately, I’ve been very ill. My doctor said it could be long-term covid side effects or late side effects from chemotherapy. It’s hard to tell as they both have similar symptoms. So my medication was adjusted to hopefully help me feel better. He also said they still don’t know enough about either.

Whenever I see any of my doctors, I always say, “I’m grateful to be alive.”

I understand that modern medicine is trying to unravel modern disease puzzles. They don’t have all the answers. Around the globe, doctors are trying to understand the seemingly never-ending variations of coronavirus. There are other doctors looking for a cure for cancer. I have high hopes for all the medical teams.

Our world is in turmoil. All you have to do is turn on the TV news and you’ll feel sick. People are feeling broken inside. Some have lost hope.

Hope keeps life going. Even when things are at their worst, be hopeful.

Abraham Lincoln once said, “My dream is of a place and time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.”

For me, each sunrise reinforces hope!

Stay safe and have fun this Summer of 2022.

Truly,

Susan

For The Love Of…Angel Numbers by Artemis Crow

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is marble-crow-logo.jpg

Many times that I’ve seen pairs of matching numbers. 333 or 444 or 1111 are numbers I’ve seen so often that I wondered if there was meaning behind them. A friend pointed me to angel numbers.

Do you see patterns of numbers?

Here’s information that I pulled from an article by Aliza Kelly. Next time you see triple or quadruple of the same number, have some fun with it! See what the cosmos is telling you in that moment.

https://www.allure.com/story/what-are-angel-numbers

What are angel numbers? 

Within numerology, angel numbers are number sequences (usually three or four numbers) that contain repetition (such as 111 or 4444) and/or patterns (such as 321 or 8787). Although they may appear in the most ordinary places, these digits usually grab our attention and — even if for only a moment — evoke a sense of wonder. The reason we’re enchanted by these sequences, however, is an extension of their symbolism: It is believed that these numbers are messages from the spiritual universe that offer insight, wisdom, and directionality. Whether you assign them to angels, guides, ancestors, spirits, or simply a higher state of your own consciousness, angel numbers can confirm you’re on the right path, shed invaluable insight on a complicated situation, or even illuminate the powerful, mystical meaning behind recurring themes you experience throughout your life.

000 or 0000

Zero is associated with new opportunities. When you witness zero in a sequence (either within a set of three, four, or within a pattern), this could signify a fresh start. You’re at the very beginning of a brand new cycle, which means you can create whatever your heart desires. Don’t be afraid to make big, bold decisions at this point in your journey.

111 or 1111

One is a powerful manifestation figure. If you encounter one as an angel number (either within a set of three, four, or within a pattern), relish the opportunity to make a wish, set an intention, or plant a seed, as this is believed to indicate a “greenlight” from the universe. You are working with extraordinary support from your angels, guides, or ancestors, so — at that moment — the present and future are dynamically connected. 

222 or 2222

Two suggests balance, trust, and alignment. Experiencing two in a sequence (either within a set of three, four, or within a pattern) could mean that someone — either in the physical realm or spiritual domain — is helping you get where you need to go. Seeing twos could indicate that it’s an excellent time to reach out to your most trusted companion to see if divine collaboration is possible. 

333 or 3333

Three is an indication of magnetic creativity. Noticing three as an angel number (either within a set of three, four, or within a pattern) could mean that you have the opportunity to add your unique talents and abilities to a situation. Moreover, the presence of three indicates that by leaning into your innate gifts, you’ll find more value and abundance in whatever circumstances you are navigating. Your artistic expression is critical!

444 or 4444

Four symbolizes stabilization. Observing four as an angel number (either within a set of three, four, or within a pattern) suggests that you are in the process of grounding, rooting, and cultivating an infrastructure that’s truly built to last. When interacting with four, don’t be afraid to ask for help or assistance, especially if you’re navigating long-term projects that require specific expertise. Fundamentally, this is about establishing trust that will empower you to reach new heights.

555 or 5555

The presence of five suggests that major changes could be on the horizon. If you’ve been feeling stuck, stifled, or inspired, observing five as an angel number (either within a set of three, four, or within a pattern) reveals that massive shifts might be in the works. For now, these transformations may be occurring behind-the-scenes — in other words, key decision-makers are still weighing options — but five appear as an angel number suggests you’re on the right path. 

666 or 6666

Although some may fear six (especially in a triplet) because of religious associations with the Devil or demon figures, within angel numbers, six (either within a set of three, four, or within a pattern) has a supportive, compassionate, and empathetic nature. Six can be a gentle, much-needed reminder to treat yourself with kindness and understanding. Sure, things may not always go according to plan, but with angel number six on your side, you know that you can choose how you want to interpret a situation, remembering that everything happens for a reason.

777 or 7777

Seven is as lucky in angel numbers as it is at the casino! Experiencing seven as an angel number (either within a set of three, four, or within a pattern) means that good fortune — especially finance-wise — could be on the way. New monetary opportunities may arise, so seven invites you to branch out and explore possibilities beyond your comfort zone. Short-term gigs may become lucrative, consistent income streams, so integrating your spirituality with your values is the perfect expression of this energy.

888 or 8888

One of the most divine numbers in numerology is eight, and observing this digit as an angel number (either within a set of three, four, or within a pattern) could reflect a connection to the spiritual universe in a powerful way. Those who believe in an afterlife may see eights as a sign that they’re receiving supernatural support from loved ones who’ve crossed on.  Fundamentally, eight is the symbol of infinity — the endless loop that transcends any singular lifetime — so don’t be afraid to dive into your intuition when this angel number appears. 

999 or 9999

As the final digit in numerology, the presence of nine suggests a chapter may be coming to an end. Witnessing nine as an angel number (either within a set of three, four, or within a pattern) is sign that a meaningful cycle could come to a close, and you’ll soon be beginning a brand new journey. Likewise, this is an excellent time to step outside your comfort zone, expand your horizons, and explore new territory. Whether you’re interested in venturing into a new career or going back to school, the spiritual universe will be sure to support your courageous choices.

May Your Words Flow Freely,

Artemis

Busy for What?

My life right now feels crazy. I feel like I am always writing about how busy I am, how crazy things are, how little time I have and all the ways that we need to learn to slow down in life and relax. I guess I’m writing about this all the time because it is always true. But it isn’t always true only for me, it seems true for all of us. This is at least my experience in all the folks I interact with on a day-to-day basis. It’s like a competition of which one of us can drive ourselves insane with how busy we are.

How do we all deal with this? I know that I use lots of lists—There is some thing about checking some thing off the list that just makes me happy. I think it is also the realization that even though there is so much to do I can really only take care of one thing at a time at least if I am truly giving it my attention. And in reality, what is wrong with that?

all these deadlines that we set, all these goals we create to do better and do more, where do they really get us? I don’t see a whole lot of happy people walking around in the world. I’m sure they are out there they just certainly aren’t on the news and they aren’t necessarily all the folks around us either.

Bottom line? You are busy, I am busy, we are all busy. Do we want to be? Why? Are we busy with the right thing? If we don’t have answers then perhaps it’s time to do something about these questions. Happy writing this week.

4th of July Paranormal-Scope

The 4th of July in the United States of America is a celebration of our Independence Day of becoming our own nation. We have fireworks, parades, and lots of family gatherings and barbecues.

While I am not qualified in any way to read neither stars nor planets, I am intimately linked to the paranormal in the world in many ways. So are you.

The paranormal-scope is for entertainment and is not meant to guide your life.

Aries:
Mermaids rise to the surface in Long Island Sound to watch the fireworks. They do a sushi banquet. Plan a get-together with friends.

Taurus:
Vampires celebrate their independence to live long and study. Some get several college degrees. Consider taking a course in-person or online on a subject you’d love to know about.

Gemini:
Elves are using the day for tidying up their homes. Consider tidying up also.

Cancer:
Gnomes are all about relaxing after spending hours tending their gardens. They like to watch “Gnomeo and Juliet,” a gnome favorite movie. Relax with a movie or two!

Leo:
Faeries love to play with fireflies but not the fireworks. They will be watching from the trees. Location for the best outcome is everything.

Virgo:
Dragons roar when fireworks boom. If the sound bothers you, listen to calming music instead.

Libra
Sprites like a good sale. There are several stores open on this holiday. If you want to go out and shop, but something good.

Scorpio:
Goblins are barbecuing and enjoying the company of family and friends. Do the same if you like!

Sagittarius:
Gremlins really needed the day off. They love bubble baths. It’s a good plan to soak and forget your troubles for a while.

Capricorn:
Shapeshifters enjoy enlarging plans like when a small party gets bigger or when a drive turned out to park and watch the fireworks. Flexibility can be an excellent thing for you this week.

Aquarius:
Werewolves love it when all their fur is nicely coiffed. Go through your wardrobe and think about updating your appearance.

Pisces:
Were-owls enjoy a front-row seat to all the action. Think about getting tickets to a movie, play, or concert.

Thank you and be safe. If you are American, Happy 4th of July!

A Third Generation Girl Scout By Susan Hanniford Crowley

Growing up, I spent many happy years as a Girl Scout. I always came home exhausted, with twigs in my hair and smelling of campfire smoke, but I was happy.

There is nothing like having corn on the cob that you cooked by pushing the husk-covered corns into the hot coals of a firepit. Foiled-covered baking potatoes cut in half with butter between are placed on or in the coals. We folded foil packets with a piece of chicken, butter or oil, and veggies which were then placed on the coals. This is coal cooking when they are still hot after the flames die down. Everything tasted out better than best.

Singing and telling stories around the campfire was fun. I told stories about things that go bump in the night but always with a hero or heroine who wins the day. We made up songs. We had talent shows.

Camping in a tent or a tent on a platform or a cabin is all the same fun. We made friends and talked after lights out or until we passed out from exhaustion. I loved listening to the rain hit the tent at night. Critters in the darkness beyond the tent chirped. The wind whistled in the night.

When I grew up, I became a Girl Scout Leader and passed my knowledge and sense of fun to another generation. My daughters grew up in my troop.

This past week, my oldest granddaughter became the 3rd generation in our family to have a great time at Girl Scout Camp.

Long may the Girl Scout Camps give their unique gift of teaching skills, creating friendships, and just being fun!

Stay safe and have fun this Summer of 2022. For those in the USA, Happy July 4th!

Truly,

Susan

Unhealthy Competition

Competition is part of life. It can be fun, it can motivate us to try harder and strive for more, and it can lead to innovation and more challenging goals. It can also be destructive if it gets the better of us.

As I look at those around me, I can’t help but notice how our social lives have somehow become a competition. Who has the nicer yard, who has the bigger pool, who is making the best investment choices and who has the more impressive job. Why do we do that? What does it even matter? From what I can see, all this worrying about what others do and less focus on what we do, doesn’t help us any. If anything, it makes us more insecure and leaves us to worry about the insignificant things in life.

Now perhaps this is partly my opinion that these things are not worth stressing over. I also have the luxury of leading a good life. We are not super wealthy, nor do we lack everything we need. But I also work in finance and I’ve come to realize that money and everything that surrounds it will not make us endlessly happy.

Lesson learned? You worry about you and I will worry about me and let’s leave the competition for the playing field or the areas that will make our world a better place.

Happy writing this week!

Morning Paranormal-Scope

Photo Courtesy by Denys Nevozhai on Unsplash

Mornings are always filled with possibilities. I think it’s because it’s right after we dream.

While I am not qualified in any way to read neither stars nor planets, I am intimately linked to the paranormal in the world in many ways. So are you.

The paranormal-scope is for entertainment and is not meant to guide your life.

Aries:
Mermaids rise to a golden glow on the water. Fish rise too. Breakfast! Review your current meal options and choose wisely.

Taurus:
Were-puppies love to play in the wet grass. Playing can be refreshing. Play a musical instrument or stretch out in yoga. Find something you enjoy playing.

Gemini:
Shapeshifters use the morning to organize. Choose only one area, a desk or cabinet that you want to reorganize. Get rid of clutter. Gain knowledge of what you have.

Cancer:
Elves are the curators of fine books. Time to find great bookcases. Time also to collect those you don’t want to keep and sell them to a used bookstore or give them away.

Leo:
Vampires yawn at sunrise. For them, it’s refreshing to go to bed, while others rise into action in the sunlight. There are days when returning to bed is the best option. Your health is important. Confer with a physician if you’re not sleeping well at night.

Virgo:
Faeries paint the color of dawn. Then it’s off to tea and breakfast. Start the day with a healthy breakfast. If you can rise earlier enough to appreciate the dawn. Consider capturing it with photography or pastels.

Libra
Sprites enjoy a good run racing before with the splashes of sunlight. If running is not your thing, consult your physician for an exercise that would fit you.

Scorpio:
Gnomes are into pet appreciation. First, there is the petting and playing. Next, there is the pet’s breakfast. Do the same if you have pets. If not find another way to appreciate the first moments of daylight. You can do it. You have a creative mind.

Sagittarius:
Dragons soar into the sun and make their mental to-do list. While you don’t have to do the same, making a to-do list is helpful.

Capricorn:
Goblins are always counting money. Check out your wallet before you leave the house. Make sure you have your keys. Make sure you have what you’re going to need for the day.

Aquarius:
Gremlins never seem to break machinery at dawn. They sleep in. Put on a sunny smile and consider starting a rainy day fund for repairs to things that break.

Pisces:
Pixies enjoy drinking dew drops in the morning. Water is vital to everyone! Plants too! Be sure to stay hydrated. Take water with you if you feel it necessary.

Thank you and be safe.

The Lily and the Broken Pot By Susan Hanniford Crowley

Last year, there was something in my yard eating my daylilies after they were past their bloom. In an effort to save the last two, I dug up the bulbs and put them in a pot.

We had a rough winter. As you can see part of the pot broke off. What you probably cannot see is that the entire pot cracked all the way around. I knew that I could not move them when I saw they had buds. So I bought a new pot for transplanting once they are past their bloom.

Clovers decided to grow in the broken pot with them to keep them company, no doubt.

The new pot neighbor is a strawberry plant.

I see something beyond a broken pot.

There are things in life that break us like heartache, disease, dashed dreams, and confusion with what life has handed us.

Some people are broken for a long time. Life is hard. They may need more time to heal.

Other people even if their past is broken, push forward to a new adventure, maybe even if it means going for a different dream.

Can you imagine being like this lily that keeps growing toward the sun? This is better than surviving. This is thriving and feeling joy and warmth in living the moment.

I love the idea of being a lily!

Stay safe and have fun this Summer of 2022.

Truly,

Susan

Summer Solstice Paranormal-Scope

Today is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year! Let’s fill it with love!

While I am not qualified in any way to read neither stars nor planets, I am intimately linked to the paranormal in the world in many ways. So are you.

The paranormal-scope is for entertainment and is not meant to guide your life.

Aries:
The werewolves are excited as the hunt for everything good and delicious begins. Consider what you are eating and what you’d like to try.

Taurus:
The Gnomes have finished spring cleaning and are packing baskets for picnics. A picnic with friends may be just the thing to welcome summer weather.

Gemini:
A griffin soars to new heights. So do you. Bring your best self to work and smile!

Cancer:
Faeries are making faerie cakes. They don’t have faeries in them but are made by them. Laughs. Try a new recipe that you’ve always thought could be fun.

Leo:
Were-cats are purring. It’s going to be a fascinating week.

Virgo:
Shapeshifters are planning a trip. A daycation or vacation can work wonders in refreshing the body and mind.

Libra
Elves love books, all kinds of books. They have modernized, which means in addition to paper they enjoy ebooks and audiobooks. Reread a favorite book or get a new book.

Scorpio:
Spirit Salamanders dance in fire. They are careful. Please, take care of yourself. The coronavirus is still out there.

Sagittarius:
Pixies bite. There’s no way around it. Office gossip can bite. Please, stay clear of it.

Capricorn:
Dragons often dream of pancakes. Unless you’re allergic, treat yourself to a favorite dish.

Aquarius:
Goblins are counting their money twice. Budgeting is in order at this time.

Pisces:
Vampires have lived a long time and they know in hard times, this too will pass. Be frugal when you must, but enjoy the precious treasure called life. Someone is having fond thoughts of you.

Thank you and be safe.
