Your HOROSCOPE For The Week Of December 15th!

Aries (March 21-April 19)
Keep the faith, remember that fear is a disease; a dis-ease of emotional, mental and physical comfort.  

Taurus (April 20- May 20)
It may be difficult to tell a friend or a love one exactly what you feel when you know for sure they will not like it, and especially if they are not the type to listen so openly. Nonetheless, this week you will have to express what you feel. At the end of the day, you will be happy you did speak up.  

Gemini (May 21- June 20)
Think of the things that you have always wanted. Is there anything you can do about it? If you said ‘yes’, then that is great because your optimism shows that you grasp the understanding of ‘never too late’. Go forward Gemini and live your dreams.

Cancer (June 21- July 22)
Do not hide behind the scenes. Let the world know who you are, especially if you have a crush on someone, make it obvious. You never know, they may like you as well and reciprocate your admiration. Invite them out for a drink or coffee. You may be surprised when they take you up on your offer.

Leo (July 23- August 22)
Listen to some music, light a few candles, make a delicious drink (alcoholic or non), and share some alone. Sing a little prayer for yourself and be thankful for life. You are a doll, be grateful for who you are.  

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Do not worry about relationships. They always work their way through things. What you need to do is work your way through it with peace & harmony and self-love.  

Libra (September 23- October 22)
Do not bang your head against a brick wall. There are some times when you have to give in and give up. You know that insanity is repeating the same actions and expecting a different result. You are not insane, so try to stop repeating those actions.

Scorpio (October 23- November 21)
It does not matter if you call it soda or pop, you are still drinking the same thing. On the flip, it does not matter if you call it gossiping or just talking, it is still spreading someone else’s business. To prevent bad karma just be mindful of your words.

Sagittarius (November 22- December 21)
Wow! You are pretty impressive lately. Not only that you are looking more peaceful than you have in while.    

Capricorn (December 22- January 19)
Worry is only misplaced imagination. Do not worry.  Of course that is easier said than done, but just keep in mind that all circumstances pass and that faith should always trump fear.  

Aquarius (January 20- February 18)
You are phenomenal this week. Keep up the good work.

Pisces (Feb 19- March 20)
A person who has been a truly amazing friend over the last few years will need your help. They may not need it for long, perhaps just for a shoulder to cry on, but they will run to you for it.    

Toronto Christmas Market

As many of you know by now, I absolutely adore the Christmas season. The lights, the sounds, the smells, the movies .. haha! So, where better for me to be this time of the year than the Toronto Christmas Market?

This is the fifth year for the Market, and I have wanted to attend each year. Of course the first two years I lived too far away to easily attend, and the past two years, my leg just was not up to the journey. And to be quite honest, since my knee replacement was only three short months ago - I was unsure if I would be able to attend this year. BUT I was sure going to give it my best shot!

This weekend my sister and I went to the Market and I loved every moment of it!

The Market is held in the historic Distillery District of Toronto, and one of the things that I did not consider was the cobblestone streets. Now, two years ago, Bentley (My dog) and I would go for walks down to the Distillery, and walking around the neighborhood upon the cobblestones was not an issue. It should be noted that these walks occurred in the daylight - soo there's that.

Cut to this past Saturday night. It is dark, I am unsteady on my feet, there is a sea of about 5000 people - pushing to get to where they want to be. Let me just say that it was terrifying at times. Luckily my sister was with me, and the poor girl was probably more afraid of my falling than I was! lol  She was so sweet and linked arms with me, pointing out where NOT to put my feet. So in the end, we made it through the evening. At least for about an hour and a half before my legs got tired. But that was enough time for me to soak in the atmosphere.

The lights, the vendor booths, the smells of all of the delicious treats, the Christmas music. Just the festive - jovial energy of everyone there. It was truly a wonderful experience.

I just want to share a couple of the photos I took that evening with you. I hope you can see how festive the Market is and that if you are in the area before December 21st, you will gather your family and head on down to the Market.

Once you arrive, you will see the beautiful towering Christmas tree, which I believe stands at 85 feet! The kiddies can ride the Ferris Wheel, or the Carousel, visit Santa Clause, walk through a life-size Gingerbread House, sing Christmas Carols with Carolers dressed in period costume. Enjoy lots of delicious treats. Truly, it is like walking around in a Christmas Snow globe!

 

Your HOROSCOPE For The Week Of December 8th!!

Aries (March 21-April 19)
Give it all you got. Do not worry about overexerting your energy or giving too much. As long as you use common sense and practicality then you will gain much pertinent benefits.  

Taurus (April 20- May 20)
Trying is only half the battle. Just do it, even if you do not get the exact results you wanted to achieve, it is okay, at least you set a good path of karma for yourself, just for  doing more than trying.  

Gemini (May 21- June 20)
Do not say no before you hear all the details. Once you hear them and your heart is not settled then decline.

Cancer (June 21- July 22)
Do what is necessary of you. Try not to procrastinate, it will only hold you back from getting things done in a timely manner.

Leo (July 23- August 22)
If someone is asking for your opinion then give it to them straight. If they are not asking, but you still want to offer advice unsolicited, then do it with grace. Tact will go a lot farther than just letting the words fly out.  

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Be clear with your intentions. It does not matter if you are dealing with people at work or in love, it is always best to express yourself thoroughly to avoid any future conflicts or difficulty.  

Libra (September 23- October 22)
This week will present a few challenges in the areas of family and romance. Try not to take anything too personally and be watchful over the words you choose to say. Sometimes a Libra can say things in the heat of the moment not realizing that it is difficult to take it back later when the flared emotions are calmed.

Scorpio (October 23- November 21)
You are in a state of personal growth. This will last for a few days, weeks, maybe even months. It is a great time indeed when the soul is maturing and the mind is learning. Read as much as you can, talk to interesting people and watch documentaries. This will feed your mind and encourage your soul during this time of growth.

Sagittarius (November 22- December 21)
Do not relax for too long. Get up and get at em!    

Capricorn (December 22- January 19)
You may feel as if others do not get you, or perhaps they pretend they do but really do not. Try not to allow this to affect your relationships with people. It is true, they may not get you, and yes they may pretend to, but at the end of the day at least they like you and are willing to get to know you.

Aquarius (January 20- February 18)
Do not tie yourself down to projects and people that you know will only frustrate you.

Pisces (Feb 19- March 20)
Somebody from your past is checking you out. If you are not a friend of social networks then this person will find you through a friend.

Your Horoscope For The Week Of December 1st!

Aries (March 21-April 19)
Speak slowly to individuals who do not speak your language, or speak your language as a second language so they can get the gist of what you are saying. Never assume that they completely understand you just because they seem like they do. Always ask them if they need clarification.  

Taurus (April 20- May 20)
You may experience a pain in the butt, literally, or the back, so be careful of small injuries this week. Make sure you do not eat too much bread or beef and drink loads of water. Eating more healthy foods will take the edge of any pain.  

Gemini (May 21- June 20)
A new job or a change of career will be on your mind for the next few weeks. Do not be afraid to make the leap. You are wise enough to make one step into a great journey.

Cancer (June 21- July 22)
Exercise and healthy eating should be the top thought in your list this week and next. The holidays will be coming soon and you will want to be in top notch shape.

Leo (July 23- August 22)
Be straight up and tell people what your intentions are. Remaining silent does have its positive effects, but in this case it is best to speak up.  

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Do not be afraid to cut off a relationship that has lost the love and passion. You will find better. It is inevitable.  

Libra (September 23- October 22)

Never worry about tomorrow. Even if you have a pressing engagement and you are nervous, just do your best and your best will be good enough.

Sagittarius (November 22- December 21)

Heed the warning signs and listen to your gut. The intuitive voice is a small voice within, hear it with your heart and follow its instructions without a second thought. You will never lead yourself astray.

Aquarius (January 20- February 18)
Irony will shock you this week. However, it will be a good shock indeed.

Pisces (Feb 19- March 20)

Your HOROSCOPE For The Week Of November 24th!

Aries (March 21-April 19)
Showing a lack of interest and disregard to co-workers, animals or children will only affect your character and trigger uncomfortable circumstances for your karma. So even in the worst of situations, no matter how upset a someone makes you, just grin and bare it without losing your Aries temper.  

Taurus (April 20- May 20)
Somebody new in your life will make an impact on you that nobody has done in a while. If you are single then be prepared to fall head over heels.  

Gemini (May 21- June 20)
You will be a leader this week. Go out and show the world who you truly are.

Cancer (June 21- July 22)
Do not pick at people when they are not doing what you want. Just go with the flow and see where their behaviour takes them. They will not get very far without sound advice and encouragement from people like you.

Leo (July 23- August 22)
Say bye bye to those individuals who try to lead you astray, even if they are doing it indirectly. Just because they are leading a questionable lifestyle themselves does not mean they need to drag you along with them.  

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Do not hide your true intentions. Let it all hang out and say what is on your mind or show how you feel, especially if you are only being truthful.  

Libra (September 23- October 22)
Let go of the past and move onto the future. If you continue to fall down in dirt you will only get up filthy. Wipe yourself off and walk away from the puddle and muddle of confusion and you will be cleansed, mentally and emotionally.

Scorpio (October 23- November 21)
Keep your head up. Do not look at your friends and family who appear to be doing better than others and compare them to yourself.

Sagittarius (November 22- December 21)
Get up, stand up and speak. Do not fall down for anyone or anything and do not be bashful. You are a star and people love it when you shine.    

Capricorn (December 22- January 19)
Do not stop now. Go for it like a dog running for a bone!

Aquarius (January 20- February 18)
People may not treat you like royalty this week, but they certainly will honour you and your life choices.

Pisces (Feb 19- March 20)
Expect people to treat you differently this week. They may behave a little cold and it could have something to do with the energy in the air of winter quickly approaching, but most likely it will have to do with them. Do not take on their negative energy, just do you and you will turn their negative into positive.

Aries (March 21-April 19)
Be mindful what you are saying and do not say something that you cannot take back.

It is okay to be different. Do not judge yourself due to your uniqueness. It is the most bizarre individuals who make the most impact on society.

Cancer (June 21- July 22)
Let go of the past. Holding onto to the pain will only manifest negative and quite possibly your health.

Leo (July 23- August 22)
You will have a revelation this week about your own character. If you find that a part of your personality should be transformed, then start working on it psyche by studying free energy and neuroplasticity.

Unpredictable circumstances will transpire this week. Although the circumstances will not be overly challenging you will still experience a few lessons during the process.

Pisces (Feb 19- March 20)
This week you will find that those who you thought you would never need will actually serve a purpose.  

Remembrance Day - Freedom Is Not Free

Often times it is easy to take for granted the freedoms we enjoy. We wake up in the morning, have a cup of coffee and prepare for our day. We hop in our car, or take the bus – to work or to school, wherever the day may take us. Without giving a second thought as to the luxury we enjoy by being able to do the simplest of things – without considering how complex freedom really is.

We come home in the evening, we spend time with our family, and we mindlessly enjoy a meal or a movie on the TV. We climb into our comfy bed and pull the blankets over ourselves and close our eyes without worry or fear of our ease of life being taken away.

We don’t give a thought to the possibility of our freedoms being extinguished. We forget about the struggles, which our ancestors fought. We often fail to remember the soldiers who dedicate their lives overseas and at home, to ensure that the light of our daily lives is not tampered by darkness.

We neglect the memories of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we can enjoy the freedom we have today. We take it for granted like a foregone conclusion. The past gets shamefully lost in the hustle and bustle of the now. But we must remember that nothing is free in life. Your morning coffee, the car you drive to work in, the bed up curl up in at night.  Everything has a cost.  Brave men and women paid that bill. For you – for me – and for our children.  And so today we STOP – and we give THANKS – to those who paid that price. And we REMEMBER that Freedom is not Free.


Happy Remembrance Day.  Happy Veteran's Day.

God Bless.
