Durham Be a Santa to a Senior 2013

SGC: Christmas is a wonderful time for most of us, but there are some people in our community who don’t have the luxury of family members close by or through no fault of their own are not in a position to celebrate this wonderful time… 

There are many toy drives for children in need of gifts for Christmas day and SGC enjoys giving each year… but children aren’t the only ones who need a lift at this time of the year, some of our seniors can use some cheer too… after all, the reason for the season is giving, and in giving our intention is to lighten the heart of someone and help make their day special… 

This year the “Be a Santa to a Senior” 2013 program has begun, organized by Homes Instead Senior Care, in its 7th year it is so simple to do and brings such happiness… Just visit one of the co operating locations and pick a name off of the tree… (Seniors in the program are asked to put down what they would truly enjoy having for Christmas).

Next go shopping for your Senior and bring back the unwrapped gift to the location you got the name from, (oh bring the name too).. the folks at the location will look after everything else… and you can leave with that special christmassy feeling bubbling up inside of you… :)

SGC Admin Astrology Info, Moon Phase: Current Sun Sign:

Full Moon November 17 2013:

Our Lovely Lady becomes full on November 17 2013

The moon becomes full in the morning hours, at approximately 10:16 am. However, she will not be visiting with any zodiac sign until later in the evening around 7:07 pm when she slips in to chat with Gemini.

The Full Moon represents completion and therefore is traditionally thought of as the perfect time to wrap up loose ends and finish projects up.

The Moon in Gemini will focus on communications, word games, puzzles and riddles. :) We may feel more restless than usual which can relate to a feeling of boredom for some. We feel a bit more scattered under this influence and may translate into feeling overwhelmed for those who rely on structure and routine. It’s a great time for letter writing and emailing and getting those phone calls finally out of the way, finish up on those correspondences that have been cluttering up your desk of late, and get to those replies, especially the time sensitive ones. 

Take care not to over do it though, as we can be tempted to take on more than we can chew under this influence, we may also spend a little more than usual as we seem to want two of everything. We can be fickle, and find it difficult to make up our minds, prompting the action orientated folk of the zodiac to give up on projects and the bargain hunters/shop alcoholics  may end up buying more than they need. 

The Moon Void off Course: 

When the moon is void off course or VOD, she isn’t visiting with any of the Zodiac signs, and because the moon rules our emotions/reactions we may feel a little out of sorts with our feelings, perhaps we don’t know how we are feeling, or we may feel or react to a person/situation in a way that is out of character for us, simply because we aren’t sure what to be feeling and how to be reacting. It is therefore suggested that any important choices/decisions or actions not be made or attempted until the Moon has settled into a sign. Choices/decisions that have long-term consequences are the most important ones to avoid when the moon is VOD, but sometimes this is not always possible, in these cases it is advisable that all small print is read and questions asked. If possible employ the expert advice of a professional, but still do your own research, professionals are people too. :)

  • Contact: Please Click Here to take you to the Meet Up page, here you may view the event, attendees, organizers and RSVP to the event… 

Description of event from Meet Up Group Page: 

  • Most of us realize and understand that we live in a dualistic world. The world of opposites – light/dark, happy/sad, hot/cold, and so on. But, what does that mean from a “spiritual” standpoint? What does it mean when we read and hear about duality? Do I have to experience duality? If I do, do I have to just deal with it? Can I change the way I react to this dualistic world? 

    Let’s get together and talk about it. :)

    Participants are encouraged to bring contributions (words of wisdom, books they have read, quotes they have heard) that have assisted them in their “duel with duality”. :o)

    “One thing you learn when you’ve lived as long as I have-people aren’t all good, and people aren’t all bad. We move in and out of darkness and light all of our lives. Right now, I’m pleased to be in the light.” 
    ― Neal Shusterman, Unwind
