But will the clarity help me see through the political crap? 8

You are entering a phase of strength, clarity, and increasing confidence.

Well, hello me.

And I do feel that way. I'm thinking positive and all kinds of positive things are peeking their heads out of the ground and seeing if they want to stick around. But I'm watching the debate right now and McCain is already acting so snarky and talking so condescendingly that it's taking all my willpower not to throw my laptop at the TV.

Isn't there some kind of color I could be wearing to feel peaceful?

Permission slip to be a bitch

You have been holding back long enough. It's time that others realize who you are and what's important to you. Don't think about what's good for anyone else. Don't even ask for advice now, for the answer will most likely be of no help. Pushing your own agenda forward will not only get you closer to your goals, but will also make everyone aware of your abilities.

This is so freakin powerful! I only wish I had an agenda to push. I mean, there are things I want to accomplish and I have started working on them but after reading this even I am afraid of messing with me!

I turned in a magazine article this morning and for the first time did not neurotically ask six different people to read it and give me their opinions first. That might not sound like much, but for me it's pretty big. I'm rarely able to take a step without checking with someone first to make sure it's OK. I don't why I'm that way, but I'm tired of it. So I turned in the article this morning and not only did the world NOT end and the editor did NOT hate it but she wrote back right away and said it was good.

Good!

Be aware of my abilities everybody. Be very aware.

Ready for a rocket ride 7

Anything you start now will take off like a rocket, so start that new project or relationship with confidence.

OK then! I'm starting new websites and job prospects like crazy! My friend Jeanine called me an Atomic Idea Kitchen -- or something like that. And I feel pretty positive. I'm going to ask for everything I want, because I've heard NO before and I'm still alive.

I feel ridiculously confident. Perhaps because nobody spoke up and said Today's Distraction is garbage. Maybe you're all just being polite; but I appreciate it.

Everything old is new again (Wed) 9

You might have an exciting idea about a new way to make money with today's Aries Moon in your 2nd House of Income. But don't latch onto any big plans, for over-analyzing one thought can actually prevent you from having the next brilliant idea. If you assume there is an infinite supply of practical thoughts, then this may be your opportunity to let them flow without having to turn one into an instant winner.

Whoa! I woke up at 5:30 am with an idea for a school program and it was running through my head so loudly I had to get up and start working on it. And I must have been over-analyzing it because I did not have another brilliant idea all day! Darn it!

I have a hard time with the idea of an infinite supply of practical thoughts. Every time I think of something that voice in my head (Evie - you scamp) says "Some one's probably already thought of that." I used to be more confident about my ideas.

I used to be more confident about a lot of things.

I used to be the girl that shouted "Let's put on a show in the Johnson's barn! My mom can make curtains!" And next thing you know there'd be a show and an audience and everyone would have a great time. In fact, while cleaning out my basement I've stumbled across some of my old ideas and they're not bad. Maybe it was just the timing. Maybe I should pull those old ideas out - now that I know more - and try to get them out into the light of day.

Hey, maybe those OLD ideas were the brilliant ones that I wasn't supposed to get in the way of!
