birth chart controversy
Perhaps it’s controversial to say, but your birth chart is not an excuse for your behaviour, it is a roadmap for self betterment. Each sign has positive and negative traits, and the houses in your chart that host those signs represent the areas in your life where those traits show up. You are not simply your sun sign, living beings aren’t so simple. But, if you take the time to look through the different aspects of a full birth chart, you may be surprised at the amount of things that come to light about your personality, emotional responses, or even habits.

New Year. New Me? New You?
Transformation. Re-invention. Re-definition. Mid-Life Crisis. Call it whatever you like. There are times in one’s life when one decides they want something different. There's something about a new calendar year that can prompt these thoughts. I know we are now in March, yet these thoughts linger. This year, the "slow down and breathe" aspect of the pandemic, seems to be making it even more of a thing.

My day can get pretty tedious at times, but I manage.

The mind's imagination
I read a couple stories today on Vocal. Well, more than a couple. But two of them sparked an emotion I wanted to share. One that gave the writer’s personal opinions about who might win the latest LBB challenge, thank you Lili Jane. And The girl power tattoo, thank you Martina Dearing.

The Greatest Fairytale
Many men and women of today's culture brag about how they are kings or queens and even princesses or princes of what they are doing in life. That title of royalty means that you, indeed, are handling your businesses and doing things like a boss. We know what it means to be royal as it would show the world you are entitled to all the country has to offer plus more. Each day even the children are inspired by the fairytale stories of royalty like Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Princess and the Frog, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and The Little Mermaid. I, myself as a child was raised on Disney Princesse's stories with the favorite princess being Sleeping Beauty.

If Misty Can Defy Odds and Break Barriers, so can you.
I was 14 years old when I started doing ballet. I was scared that I had started ‘late’, as most of the girls had probably danced before they could walk. So that was negative, number one. I was the only brown girl in the class of slim white girls. I experienced a majority of my teenage years in a small town of Newfoundland, Canada, just to give a little bit of context.
