My Goldie Hawn Muse

| Moontiquity (Selena Parsley)
 
7 reasons why Goldie Hawn is one of my favorite muses
 
1. We share the same Sun sign and the same Moon sign.
Scorpio = Sun
Gemini = Moon
 
“life is a dance with the cosmos.”  ~ Goldie
“You often meet your fate on the road you take to avoid it.”  ~ Goldie
 
2. She is a free spirit. She lives life on her own terms.
 
“The only thing that will make you happy is being happy with who you are, and not who people think you are.” ~ Goldie
 
3. She understands the power of attracting what you want in life.
“It is not the question, what am I going to be when I grow up; you should ask the question, who am I going to be when I grow up.” ~ Goldie
 
4. She is funny and beautiful.
 
“So curiosity, I think, is a really important aspect of staying young or youthful.” ~ Goldie
“Once you laugh at you own weaknesses, you can move forward. ~ Goldie
 
5. She has curves. feminine goddess curves.
“I’m not afraid of my femininity and I’m not afraid of my sexuality.” ~ Goldie
 
 
“I’m a woman who was raised to believe that you are not complete unless you have a man. Well, in some ways it’s true. I am a feminist to a point. But I’m not going to deny the fact that I love to be with men.” ~ Goldie
 
6. She is wise.
“If we can just let go and trust that things will work out they way they’re supposed to, without trying to control the outcome, then we can begin to enjoy the moment more fully. The joy of the freedom it brings becomes more pleasurable than the experience itself.”  ~ Goldie
 
7. She is honest with her kids. A rarity.
The biggest lesson we have to give our children is truth. ~ Goldie
 
 

Tiny Titanic Tidbits

| Moontiquity (Selena Parsley)
I feel privy-ledged that I had the opportunity to co-mingled with the fanciful artifacts from the RMS Titanic. Before we entered the exhibit, we were issued a boarding pass. Mine: Miss Ellen Hocking. Age:21 From Cornwall England. 2nd Class. Ellen was traveling to New York State where she was to marry George Hambly of Schenectady.
 
7 things I have in common with Miss Ellen Hocking
1. She was a Scorpio. Me too, my Sun sign anyway
2. She was a girl with dark features. Me too.
3. She got married when she was 21. Me too.
4. She was traveling to another country with her mom. Did that lots.
5. She had a premonition. During the voyage Ellen thought she heard a bird/cock crowing as she was falling asleep, a sign of impending disaster in Cornish Folklore. I am a person of signs, folklore.
6. She was traveling 2nd class.
7. She was one of the lucky ones who survived.
 
I bought a trinket. A turquoise bracelet with a piece of coal charm that was actually on the Titanic.
 
 
Additional muse-sings
 
~ I freaking LOVE the White Star line logo. Simple. Nice.
 
~ I think the tiles used in the bathrooms in 3rd class were much prettier than the ones used in first class.
 
 
~ The vials of perfume by the creator Adolphe Saalfeld is kwite peachy.
 
 
 
 
German-born chemist Adolphe Saalfeld. He was traveling on the Titanic to New York in hopes of developing a new line of scents. He survived the sinking, but his samples were lost. Found 2-1/2 miles beneath the ocean’s surface, many samples amazingly still contained their oils.
 
Legacy is the Adolphe/Titanic inspired perfume. I tested it and was pleased that it wasn’t just a nice novelty gift shop perfume. It really smells nice. “Legacy 1912 eau de parfum surrounds you with the fragrance of delicate lemon and neroli, alongside blushing rose and warm, sheer amber. A testament to the enduring nature of history.”
 
My next entry will be about my Titanic SHE-rows. Stay tuned, Scally-maidens & Scally-gentz!

The Burbs – 7 sin-ton-says

| Moontiquity (Selena Parsley)

The Burbs. Radass. 80’s. Flick. FYI This aint a movie review. It’s me doing my 7 sin-ton-says. (7 sentences – for people who can’t read code)

 Why do I like this movie?

1. Welp, cause it awesome. It’s dark and it’s funny. I can smugly relate to that.

2. The sardine scene kills my funny femur bone every time.

3. Every neighbor in the burbs has a set of issues. I’m all about issues right now. I think it’s healthy and wise to admit to having issues. I am about sick of fake flakes as of late. But that’s for another blog entry….

 4. Tom Hanks / Ray Peterson is obsessed. I can relate to obsessive behavior.

5. Ray Peterson’s obsessive behavior finally pays off. I can relate to that, too.

6. I think Corey Fieldman  Feldman was actually in a place of liking himself in this film. Which is a really cool thing for him.

7. A secret: I may love unicorns, orchids and most things that sparkle, but I have always felt like a Klopek at heart.

the color orange!

Page 13 Tree ~ textured on canvas, acrylic paints, vintage book pages. ♥

Orange is my power color this season. I have never really given the color orange a second thought, but somewhere out of the brilliant sunlight, KA-POWIE, all I see is the color orange. I am drawn to it. I feel like I need it. I wear it when I can. When I go thrift storin’ I head straight to the orange blouse section. I want to paint my toe nails orange while drinking an iced Orange Crush.

 
Orange is a power color. It is one of the healing colors. It is said to increase the craving for food. It also stimulates enthusiasm and creativity. Orange means vitality with endurance. People who like orange are usually thoughtful and sincere. Lady luck’s color is orange.

 Orange Energy

 While red is associated with fiery heat, orange is associated with the benign warmth of the sun. A dynamic color to be sure, orange offers a more thoughtful control than explosive red. Curiosity is a driving characteristic of orange, and with it comes exploration of new things.

 Put some orange in your life when you want:

  • to spice things up when you feel time is dragging
  • to become more involved in something
  • to increase creativity
  • relief from things becoming too serious

 Wearing orange during times of stress, or shock can help to balance your emotions. It can bring about the willingness to embrace new ideas with enjoyment and a sense of exploration and creative play.

My name is Selena Parsley. I am a kleptomaniac.

| Moontiquity (Selena Parsley)

I remember the first time I ever stole something. I was in the 2nd grade. Damn show and tell. A kid brought a citrine gemstone to school. I don’t think I paid much attention to the kid or all of his babbling, you know the “telling” part of show and tell. All I remember is being hypnotized by the pretty sparkly shiny cluster of temptation. I was going to have it. My precious. I can’t remember how I even stole it. I can’t remember if I waited until all the kids were gone or if I did it in the midst of a crowd. Something tells me I was brazen enough – even back then to commit the crime in broad fluorescent school light…

 

Citrine Gemstone meaning

Citrine is a yellow-to-golden member of the quartz mineral group. A deep golden variety from Madiera Spain can resemble the costly imperial topaz gem stone, which is one reason that citrine is a popular birthstone alternative to those born in November.

Citrine has been called the “stone of the mind”. Ancient cultures believed that placing a citrine on the forehead of an elder would increase his psychic power.

Money energies of citrine

Citrine is known as the lucky “Merchants Stone”. If you are in any type of sales, just put a citrine in the cash drawer and watch what happens. Also used by healers to:

  • increase self esteem
  • protect from the negative energy from someone else’s abuse
  • open the mind to new thoughts
  • promote clarity of thought

Healing properties of citrine

Citrine is sometimes used by healers to help with digestion as it is considered beneficial to the endocrine and digestive system – cleansing, purifying and eliminating poisons that have built up. Citrine is an excellent stone to calm and soothe distressed conditions. Some use it to help relieve depression, digestive problems (including constipation and diabetes). It will give joy and love to the owner.

Sources of citrine

Sources of citrine include Brazil, Bolivia, several African countries and parts of the Soviet Union.

  My conscience did get the best of me and the next day I returned the Citrine to the stupid ass kid who brought it to show and tell.

What I know

| Moontiquity (Selena Parsley)

 Last month’s meditation : “The old is gone, the new has come. I’ve been remade. What’s done is done.” – scallywaif

Today’s meditation: “The genuine is here. There’s been a new birth. Welcome, Divine Spirit to my home and hearth.” – Scallywaif

 

I had a dream last night. yeah, rock out, whatever –

| Moontiquity (Selena Parsley)

I am very interested in dreams and listening to the messages my dreams try to tell me. I think everyone should, but I won’t get on a soapbox.  A few months back I wrote an even more elaborate blog post about it here.  So….this is my second dream journal I kraphted using mixed media.

A piece of one of my favorite songs fits nicely with my dream journals~

 Tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the milky way?Tell me, did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated –Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?

cream or incense with your coffee?

| Moontiquity (Selena Parsley)

 

some people take cream with their coffee. i take incense with mine. and yes, i consider myself a “coffee drinker” even if mine does have tons of chocolate bathing in it, so back off… i haven’t had my coffee yet… i have created ANOTHER daily ritual for myself. funny ironic cause i use to hate tradition, but now that i have been coming up with my own, and understanding the meanings behind what i am doing — i have become quite the little free-spirited tradition making hussy. incense and coffee in the morning. i don’t know what it is, but even tho my body feels obstinately tired and my conscious mind seems flippant and foggy. my subconscious mind is still going strong on its very own wanderlust trip. it is like my brain is still in dreamland somewhere. and i just so happen to be the type of person who embraces this sort of thing. i don’t want to shake it off and move on. i do not think that would be wise. i do not want to miss out on something life-changing because i am busy doing cookie cutter motions in the morning. dream land is more of a reality for me. my authentic universe. so i am thinking: dear scallywaif, drink some coffee, wake the hell up, and get in touch with whatever messages your dreams are trying to tell you. light some incense, be still, and listen. wake up enough to make some sense out of it and be creative today with what has been brought to mind. i also spend this time reading and writing out whatever has been made reality– like right now.
