Horrible Horoscopes

by

concept-astrology-aries-universe-159668I had another one of those unhoroscopes today:

“In one culture, it’s unlucky to wear your clothes inside out. In another, getting married on Tuesday spells relationship doom. You’ve your own ideas on the subject, and they’ll dictate what you’re willing and unwilling to do.”

Here is my idea on this horoscope subject: HOW IS THAT A HOROSCOPE? It’s not a forecast, not a prediction of any future events. What it is, is a factoid (two actually) thrown in with a rather loose opinion.

Willing or unwilling to do? So I may or may not do something? Based on my very own ideas? That pretty much sums up living for…well, pretty much the human race. It’s called free will, Horoscope Writer Person.

I mean, that’s a real job, y’all. Sheesh.

Anyway, I would be even more upset this morning if I hadn’t used one of these unhoroscopes to inspire my post at The Muffin: The Extroverted Introvert (In Other Words, A Writer). So I suppose I did have my own ideas on a subject and I was willing to write about it.

Huh.

I’m a Believer

Remember back in the summer, when I mentioned a story I wanted to tell you but I didn’t because I believed it might be perfect for the Miracles and More topic at Chicken Soup for the Soul?

Yeah, this story.  And now it’s in Miracles and More, along with 100 other stories of angels, divine intervention, answered prayers, and messages from heaven.

All of which I see evidence of pretty much every day. Of course, we see what we believe, and I believe that Shakespeare had it right: “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”

But you don’t have to take my word (or Shakespeare’s). Come join me and lots of the writers in Miracles and More as we share our experiences and wonders in a Twitter party:

Miracles and More Twitter Party Final

I’m looking forward to hearing more about these miracles–come join us. I’m a believer, y’all, not a trace of doubt in my mind, and we’ll make you a believer, too! (And come on, you know you want to sing that song with me, now, right?)
