the lesson of july into august is to focus on the good, and totally ignore the bad...
someone wrote in a group: "you mean to tell me nothing good happens to you all...and that made me share this story:
[i will spare all the long details...but just a month ago, six weeks actually, i tried to leave trinidad. traveled to mississippi on a one way ticket to meet an old friend from twenty three years ago. we were supposed to be aligning our resources and capabilities to build empire. I was to live in a house they have unused.
i get there, the house is neither cleaned, put up for someone to live, nor the kitchen functioning...range top for stove gone, washer dryer, gone. dishwasher gone, no microwave. no utensils. nothing
No bed./ nothing nothing nothing.
I was stunned.
Stayed in a hotel they paid for.
was supposed to come back with toiletries for me and never returned.
left money in an envelope for me to get back home and said a return ticket was at the airport.
Well. that return ticket was not paid for.
the counter lady. tells me all of this. and for some reason, I was just cool, calm and collected. despite it all
called my friends, one in colorado, one in a neighboring city.
the latter puts up the money on her credit card for me to return home.
I been wondering how long it would take me to pay her back.
I got a gig last night working as a research asst for a prof at a US college, making US money. so i said I would amass the $400 over the ticket paid and pay my girlfriend back
today she writes me and tells me. a month, six weeks after the fact, no charge shows up on her card.
mind you. the ticket agent. knew the friend who created all this drama. taught her microbiology at jackson state. then my friend who purchased the ticket, taught her art. and I was in the restaurant eating brunch, while this ticket agent allowed her personal cell to be used to call my friends and for them to call me.
the good news of this story... she had booked me on my first ever first class trip. and I used to travel for a living.
yes, we were all amazed that I would get the one ticket agent who knew all these people. but for her to extend herself to me as a stranger. was amazing. there was no end. and it never stopped
access. caring. compassion, sharing.
first class ticket
then it turns out, she did whatever shenanigans for their to be no charge. She probably booked me on one of her free flights
the news today came up about the no charge.
That made my day
my month. my year?

This lady.
Send her love and blessings in abundance

[Aquarius (January 20-February 19)
Aquarius Horoscope for week of September 8, 2016
These days, my dear, your eccentric beauty is even more unkempt than usual. I like it. It entertains and charms me. And as for your idiosyncratic intelligence: That, too, is messier and cuter and even more interesting than ever before. I'm inclined to encourage you to milk this unruly streak for all its potential. Maybe it will provoke you to experiment in situations where you've been too accepting of the stagnant status quo. And perhaps it will embolden you to look for love and money in more of the right places. ]
