A Rebel or a Crab?
I used to love my star sign. I'm an Aquarius. We're creative and empathetic and true rebels at heart. According to Allure magazine, we Aquarians are unconventional and radical thinkers. We have unusual hobbies and a quirky dress sense. We are great humanitarians. We value our freedom, and can be stubborn in the pursuit of higher ideals.

Only the Aries.
I'm to blame by country singer Kip Moore perfectly sums up the Aries' personality," where there is a do not touch my fingertips done stained it," the country singer croons. An Aries is the life of the party, everybody's best friend and sometimes a wild child. Aries are also known to have a moody side where they may become impatient, irritable, or even aggressive. However, like the statement made in Moores's song, an Aries will also jump straight out of the pan directly into the fire without stopping to think. Aries is large and in charge and always comes first. So, when the season's change and March begins, it's time for Aries to shine and you better be ready for a wild ride.

If You Only Knew
The day started like any other. I woke up starring at the ceiling, lying in bed waiting for my alarm to go off. I didn’t know it then, but this day wasn’t going to be just like all the rest. I began getting ready for the day and headed down to get my morning coffee. As I was heading down, I realized I hadn’t checked my mailbox in a few days. This was very unlike me, as checking for mail was one of the more exciting parts of my day. I had a ritual that before I open the mailbox and see what’s inside, I’d say “today is the day I get rich.” I’d always thought I was destined for a life of winning the lottery and doing whatever I wanted. I had this feeling my life was going to be greatly changed by a large sum of money one day. Obviously, this was a fantasy, and in the 27 years I had been alive nothing like this had ever happened. Nevertheless, I kept the dream alive when opening the mail… you just never know what might be inside.

Greater Joy
Greater Joy No good deed goes unpunished. For years Joy had written the names of those who blessed her, the people who had taken time to encourage or help her. There were only a few. But in her heart she wanted to bless their lives with what she called, “gems of joy.” But circumstances kept her locked in a box. She got up in the morning. She said her prayers. She took her shower and dressed. She then went to the same job that she'd been on for the past 26 years.

The Storage Unit
Frank got in the car and placed a black notebook in the passenger seat. He took his gratitude journal everywhere. As he cranked up the car, it made a turning sound but didn't start. He did it again with the same result. Looking up at the sky he closed his eyes and mumbled as he turned the key one more time. The engine made a sputter but the car was running. Frank smiled and said, "thanks girl" as he patted the top of the dashboard. He put the car in drive and drove away. Frank loved his 65 Mustang but it needed a lot of work. But recently he had fallen in love with this bright red pickup truck at the local car lot.

The Happiness Watch
Once upon a time there was a great inventor. He was a man angry with the world. He didn’t fit in, he couldn’t talk to anyone, he had few friends. He wasn’t willing to change so he stayed in his depression, angry at everyone and everything, the people, the birds chirping, the dogs barking, the cats meowing. So, he got tired of being unhappy, he kept on looking at his facebook, instagram feeds with people all happy. So he decided to pray:

Well, before I tell you about my sign I want to tell you a little bit about me. This way you can make an informed decision on whether or not the sign matches me. I am 35 years old. Life has been hard for me but I try to understand everyone's side of everything. I know that in a conflict both sides have a view point and to some extent both sides are right. Let's be honest from their prospective they are right. If they did not feel that they were right they would not fight. Though, I do acknowledge that some people tend to just like to fight to fight. Although in most cases my own family were not great to me; when I started a family of my own I decided I would do whatever it takes to protect and take care of them. I work many jobs to try to take care of my family. I love to be around trees and greenery. I enjoy being creative through writing, painting, drawing and occasionally crafts. I often ask for the advise of others to try to get a bigger picture of the situation; although I do not always follow the advise.

Mr. Taylor's Little Black Book
Mr. Taylor’s Little Black Book : Purpose and Prosperity The radio on the side table blares….BEEP, BEEP, BEEP It’s 7 a.m. in the 478, rise and shine let’s get up and start this wonderful work day! Nikki groans loudly pulling her pillow back over her face as she dreads another day on the grind at her low-level job as a custodial worker for the Houston County Medical Center. Oh, how I hate Monday’s she sighs dragging herself out the bed and into the bathroom to get ready for work. Nikki stands in the mirror looking at her tired eyes swollen and red from crying all night while thinking about the stack of unpaid bills on her countertop in the kitchen. How had she gotten here; how did she sink this low? Six months ago Nikki was thriving. She was a top seller at her firm earning good commission and really getting on her feet. But like so many others, when the pandemic hit, she found herself out of a job and not enough savings to keep her afloat. Luckily, she had a friend, a nurse at the Houston County Medical Center who helped her get this part-time job in housekeeping, but it barely brought in enough to make rent. Her savings had dwindled, and she was already a month behind on her car payment. She felt helpless and scared. Nonetheless she knew she had to keep this job and try to get back on her feet. Nikki shakes the negative thoughts from her mind and tries to meditate on making her day a good one. She prays out loud, “Universe please favor me today, favor those I work with and please help Mr. Taylor get well so he can go home to his family.”

What I have learnt
I had everything anyone could possibly dream of. My hair, gorgeously curled with primly smoothness, coloured with roasted chestnuts. I am beautifully tanned from my Mexican-Indian background. My face is angelical. My figure is slender and complexion is perfect. Both my parents are multi-millionaires. Nevertheless, with unimaginable beauty and the world’s wealth, I was arrogant, self-centered and idle.
