It's time to stop standing on the sidelines and demand climate action with a world-wide strike during the UN conference on climate change.
It will take all of us around the world who want to preserve our planet to stand up and do something together. We can't depend on our 'leaders' to make those decisions if we aren't pushing them to do it. A strike would do just that.

Cancer is the sign of the Mother, and we all need to reclaim the positive mothering that allows us to love ourselves with all our imperfections. to be who we want to be -- not what our society wants us to be

Each day as I look at what's happening around the world due to the coronavirus,I see that the thing we need most is the thing that is lacking. The medical profession has great courage and fortitude, and some leaders are making smart decisions.

With Mercury going direct just as the Leo New Moon perfected, it's time to move ahead with our plans to secure our future needs. This means doing things differently than we're used to.

We need to state the story so people are excited about the future. It's the heroes journey for all of us. So how can the democratic contenders beat out Trumps' 'make America great again' slogan?
