Dreams: A is for Abandoned House

I’ve had quite few of these and they are all houses I’ve lived in the past. And that’s the key. Often there are unresolved issues from your past.
Many believe these dreams represent a belief system, a way of life, past relationships or abandoned hopes and dreams where people hang onto something they should let go of. The settings of my Abandoned House dreams were almost always at night. 
I don’t want to start the A to Z Challenge on a bummer note, so it’s important to understand these drea...

A to Z Theme Reveal: Dreams

My A to Z Theme Reveal: Dreams. 
Where to begin? I could blog on this topic alone for a solid year and only scratch the surface. As far back as we have written records, there have been accounts of unusual phenomena occurring in connection with dreams. 
Dream interpretation is something I find fascinating and have studied for decades. Let’s go a bit deeper. What are the sources of dreams? Where do they come from? Within the person? God? An outside source? That bad burrito or double pep...

Jupiter is Here! 5th Wave, Moonshot and Zootopia

March 8 Jupiter at Opposition Hey folks, this is super dooper cool!!! The giant planet will be at its closest approach to Earth and its face will be fully illuminated by the sun. It will be brighter than at any other time of the year and will be visible all night long. This is the best time to view and photograph Jupiter and its moons. 
A medium-sized telescope should be able to show you some of the details of Jupiter’s cloud bands. A good pair of binoculars should allow you to see Jupite...

Summer Promotions and Such

Hi all, thought I’d take a moment and tell you what I’ve been up to regarding promotions and such. 
Like many of you, planning for book promos takes place well in advance. So here’s what’s on tap for me beginning the first of many and going all the way through Labor Day Weekend. 
What I Won’t Do Often as important or more so than what I will do. I’m hitting the Easy Button. There are a lot of things I won’t be doing simply because they are not productive when it comes to a full-on pro...

Better Late Than Never IWSG Post

My concern this month, forgetting all about IWSG while I’m on break. D-oh! I mean, how easy is it to post once a month, the first Wednesday of said month? But it happened. Better late than never. 
I have a cold and I hope this is the peak of it so I do have a it of an excuse for not posting in the morning. Well, that’s about it for me. Time for some over-the-counter drugs and lie down with my favorite blankie fresh and warm out of the dryer and binge watch Netflix.
Question Do you warm up...

A New Planet? The Kuiper Belt, Jupiter Rising, and More Zombies!!!

Ninth Planet? A decade ago Mike Brown helped get Pluto demoted from a “planet” to a mere “dwarf planet.” Now the astronomer and one of his CalTech colleagues may have plotted the orbit of a new ninth planet in our solar system, dramatically larger than Pluto and much, much farther away in the Kuiper Belt. 
This new planet would be roughly 10 times the size of the Earth and would take as much as 20,000 years to make a single orbit around the sun. Its theoretical size — between the size of...

Five Planet Alignment This Week, Supernovas Rule! and Incoming Space Junk

From Northern HemisphereA Planetary Party January 20th - February 20th All five visible planets will sit in a line from the horizon to the moon - for the first time since 2005. According to Dr. Tanya Hill, senior curator at the Melbourne Planetarium, there will be another chance to view the planets lined up in August, but then not again until October 2018. Venus and Jupiter will be easiest to see and Mars, while a little harder, will have a distinctive red glow to look out for. Saturn is also...
