Moonchild

Do you believe in zodiac signs? I am a true-blue Cancerian and all my traits match the zodiac sign’s description perfectly. The ruling planet for all Cancerians is the moon, and we are greatly influenced by it’s waxing and waning cycles. Our moods and emotions change with the changing shape of the moon on a daily basis. Thus, expecting us to stay in one state of mind is next to impossible! Moon children tend to be imaginative, creative, deeply emotional and sensitive.

Update: Sparkle Posts Delayed!

Update, April 29: To say I am having a rough week would be the understatement of the century! Technical issues, crazy timelines at work and now the stress of not knowing if I have been granted the Visa for my upcoming travel! The Embassy chose to return my Passport way earlier than expected, and I have no way of knowing if they have returned it after granting the Visa! I will only know once the Passport is delivered. Nervous as hell, and still dealing with major PC-internet issues, I will not be publishing any sparkle posts for another day or two!  I promise to…
