Today we enter the Goddess Birth Sign of Venus. She teaches us about love in all its form: self-love, love for others, and love for mother earth and all her creatures.
SUGGESTED MANTRA: SELF-LOVE
The Roman goddess born of heaven and sea, revered for her gifts of fertility, sensuality and above all, love.
I walk in beauty
Every time I see students coming from class (I live on a college campus), I get jealous. Every time I hear about someone's experiences in their lit classes or women's studies classes, I nearly freak.
I've always felt a strong tie with academia. Ever since I started college I was in love. Nowadays, college is the afterthought. My lit classes are more of a nuisance at night when I'm tired from work than something I enjoy. I don't have classmates and great discussions and professors to give me feedback on my papers, and God, I miss it!
I work in the marketing world but it's not my passion. Publishing gets closer - writing, editing, especially about issues that matter to me. But I have always walked around saying, "I'm going to be a professor, I'm going to get my Ph.D., I'm going to be an academic rockstar," and I totally forgot about it in the past year or so.
I am very close to finishing my B.A. and I really need to think about grad school because it's important to me. Like, really important.

So I need costume ideas for Halloween. Last year everyone dressed up at the office and we had a party - there was William Wallace in a kilt with blue and white paint on his face, a whoopee cushion, a pirate... you get the idea. I want to do something fun but something I can design myself (and not pay for a costume, if I can help it). Suggestions? :)

8-Ball Jesus. That's what I was going to be one year. Jesus with a cube of answers like "Watch for the lightning" and "I died for this?"
Halloween suggestion: Julie D'Aubigny, known as La Maupin. The flamboyant, swashbuckling, bisexual opera singer.:)
