Command 2017 Because Resolutions Are No Longer Good Enough

After living through the year that SHOULD BE STRUCK from history, I will not depend on wishes, resolutions or "Good Thoughts" to get me what I want.  I mean resolutions are supposed to be "a firm decision to do or not do something" by definition! If you dare to look back at that GOD AWFUL YEAR that shall not be named you will realize it will take more than a resolution to get through the next four years.  That hateful year has set us all back.  I mean we are going to need more than a resolution to make this better.  It is not that I won't make wishes, set goals and have resolutions but I need something more than those things to improve my life and my family's life!  The results of last year's actions presumably will set us all back this year and the three years to come.  I am determined not to let that happen.  In fact, the whole country can go completely insane, but I am determined to make sure we thrive.  We can't afford any weak links not this year.

There are some "Must Do's" for the "4":

1. Will make more than we spend.
2. Will laugh more than we fight.
3. Will learn our bodies strengths (enhance) and weaknesses (improve).
4. Will expand our talents.
5. Will expand our knowledge.
6. Perfect health is a must.
7. Spiritual health is a must.
8. Building alliances is a must.
9. We must reach our physical goals because our very lives (not just quality of life) may depend on it.
10. Most of all we must learn the REAL VALUE of everything.  Remember the value of money fluctuates.

I know to many of  you I am speaking too generally but my grandmother taught me to speak in code and for my family this is specific enough.  By the time the Kentucky Derby rolls around everyone should be able to see if we are on track or not.  Phase I of 2017 is to wipe out every weakness I have.  Phase II of 2017 is for people to see that I really do live my life as art.  Phase III for My Royal Family 4 is to make sure our large family (aunts, uncles, cousins) are all strong links.  We are only as strong as our weakest.  Phase IV BEST CHRISTMAS EVER and assessing what needs to happen next.

Right now I am not worried about the body goals for two of the members of My Royal Family 4.  I am working out 5x a week these days.  One sister is in a ballroom dancing competition so she will be fine too.  Oddly it is the skinniest of the sisters and of course our mom who may need help getting it into gear.  They are both very serious but their focus is being pulled toward money.  I hate to say it but health, body image and money are going to be linked this year more than ever.  There is one thing I know about us, if one does well the others will catch up.  I guess this year I will be Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.   I will be in front guiding the sleigh during the snowstorm although they may not notice until we reach the end of Phase I, lol.  Phase I the focus is clearing away all the "stuff" and finding the doors we never even knew existed.  I want to smile while reaching all my goals.  I want to cast "doubt", "what if" (the bad ones) and "fear" aside for good. Phase I, is the most important because if only Phase I is completed I am still having a very good year.

That brings us to the command part of 2017! We will not lose anymore ground 2017 that is a command! Do you understand me? Tell 2017 what you expect of it.  Command it to behave the way you need it to and don't look back at that awful, star killing year we just had.

2017 my commands are as follows:

My body will be as I choose not as my negative emotions choose.  I will be healthier, hotter, and more physically powerful than my best self.  This extends to all members of my family as well.

I will enjoy myself, my life and all of my rights.  This is not negotiable!

2017 You will literally remove all racist and hateful people from my personal path.

My time will be spent making money and living life as art.

My family will be more protected than Fort Knox.

Only those who add light, fun, wisdom, opportunity, and true friendship can be brought into any of my family's circle.

Mend all of my family's misunderstandings, hurts and disagreements so we may help and enhance each other's lives and futures.

Anyone not in my family who has sought to harm anyone in my family or to wrongfully take from anyone in my family will be removed and bound from harming any of us again and 2017 must restore by 1000x what has been taken.  

I will work easy because life is easy when you work without fear.  I must change my mindset because hard work only gets you so far.  Creative work, now that gets you beyond your wildest dreams.  Most of all 2017 I will clown around because life needs a laugh or two.

Now more than ever it is important to have fun.

In The Anime World Capricorns Rule

Capricorn Super Couple
Urahara and Yoruichi

Okay, my birthday is today which makes me a Capricorn but I am no ordinary Capricorn.  I happen to have five planets in Capricorn (correction I have 6 in Capricorn).  By the way in astrology the word “planets” refer to more than just planets.  Planets in astrology is a term used loosely so, don’t get hung up on the use of the word.  The sign Capricorn is ruled by the beautiful planet of Saturn.   I love my ruling planet but in the world of astrology there is not much love for Saturn.  Saturn is the, teach you a lesson planet, the no fun hard times planet.  When Saturn comes to your sign it is all gloom and doom.  At least that’s how many people feel, so having five (correction 6) “planets” in Capricorn can be a very heavy thing.  My Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Mean Mode are all in Capricorn. (Correction I have 6 things in Capricorn because I also have Capricorn in True Node.) When things are going bad for Capricorn I get five times (make that 6x) the bad.  My sisters would make fun of me, “You do that because you’re ruled by Saturn.”  This statement would be just the beginning in a true fight.  Their statements can be brutal and being a Capricorn can be used against me.

I am a very proud Capricorn.  Capricorns are smart, loyal and have a very unique sense of humor.  The traits of Capricorn make great traits for anime characters.  When I get a little down on myself I remember I am a Capricorn and I like being a Capricorn.  Everyone has their opinions about my beloved sign but my favorite interpretations of the sign Capricorn comes from the anime world.  Even when a Capricorn is a villain you respect them and that is awesome.  I find my sign to be represented well in both manga and anime.  I like seeing how Capricorns are defined in the stories of anime.  I watch Japanese anime a lot but I never blog about it. I love being a Capricorn, I love anime and I love seeing both worlds together.  I made myself a promise Fall of 2014.  I promised that on my birthday I would talk about anime.  Well there are thousands of great blogs already out there for anime and I read them from time to time.  The point is I don’t need to blog about anime but I do want to celebrate me.  Being a Capricorn and watching anime is a big part of me.  It is my personal fun.  So in honor of Capricorns everywhere I have a Pinterest Board just for Anime Capricorns.  I find many anime characters inspiring so if you want to see what inspires me also take a look at My Anime Inspiration.  The Anime inspiration board is my favorite of the two boards.  I love Capricorn characters in all stories but in anime they are magic.  I need magic in my life always and this is one way to do just that.

Beauty By The Moon (Diet, Weight Loss And Long Hair)

Moon Oct. 17 2013

Okay, I am very bored with trying to make myself look the way I want in my dreams.  I am frankly burned out when it comes to diets and my hair can never grow fast enough to satisfy me. Right now the only thing that can excite me is fashion, but all my money is tied up, so I am not all that excited.  Unfortunately it seems the rest of the Ladies Of The Round Table are burned out on everything to do with self improvement, too.  In other words none of use can stay on a diet, and none of us seem to care!

This started me thinking, "Is there something wrong in the Universe?" Why can't I do what needs to be done? Why can't anyone in my family stay on a diet? I have been looking at adjusting my schedule to coincide with the moon.  I was explaining to Faith my little experiment when she asked me if I had ever tried to use the moon to plan my diet.  I had not.  Wow, I was using the waning and waxing of the moon to plan all sorts of things but not my diet.  Now I have heard of using the waxing and waning of the moon to grow your hair longer and loss weight, but I have never actually tried it.  This may be the something I needed.  Maybe I can breathe new life into my image goals.  Timing my diet to the waning and waxing of the moon might be fun.  So I looked up how to use the moon to make my hair longer and my waist smaller.

I looked at many sites and books.  I found Farmer's Almanac extremely helpful.  They have a Best Days Calendar that makes planning beauty ideas easy.  Apparently, starting a diet during a waxing moon is harder on your willpower.   Cutting your hair during a waning moon is a very bad idea if you want long hair.  Oh, and the best time to start a diet is the night of the Full Moon.  The full Moon this month is tomorrow, October 18, 2013 (also lunar eclipse).  Yes, tomorrow I will start my diet.  I will see if starting my dieting during the full Moon really makes things easier.  It won't be just me starting my diet by myself, I hope.  Mom and my sisters are supposed to start their diets tomorrow.  All of us will be doing The 4-Hour Body (Faith and I both read and love this book) and Pat Brown System (a friend recently told us to check this out).  In addition I am doing the the Fast Diet for a little extra kick; I really liked the book and I know that the 5:2 schedule will work well for me.  So, tomorrow we diet, but today we feast.  Joy and Faith made a huge brunch.  It was amazing.  Later tonight I will have Korean noodles and bourbon.

Tomorrow we diet.  Today I have no motivation to diet but maybe tomorrow will be different.  We have to diet.  We must diet.  Our goals are clear.  Diet to look even better than we did here:

Mom (Glenda)

Love (me)

Joy

Faith at Perfect.

My goal is to drop weight and grow longer hair using the help of the moon.  Heck, when you get bored with dieting you have to change it up.  If you need a new formula to help improve your image, start looking at things you haven't tried.  At the very least it will add a little excitement to your beauty routine.  As for now when the moon is waning I am going to give my hair oil treatments and deep conditioning.  Today I am going to feast, drink and be merry.  Oh, here is the brunch that Joy and Faith made for today's last hoorah.  Food porn anyone? Cheese Grits, Maple Bacon, Eggs, Cut Potatoes (home fries), Buttermilk Pancakes

Introductions: The Magic That Is

Mother Daughter Team

My Royal Family 4 Don't Ask Permission

There are of course four of us, one mother and three daughters.  Two are earth signs and two are air.  Two are born in the same year and three are born in the same month. All three daughters are cardinal signs (born leaders).  Maybe it would be easier to explain if I gave the stats:

Mother           Born- September       Virgo          Earth Sign

Daughter #1   Born- January           Capricorn    Earth Sign

Daughter #2   Born-September        Libra            Air Sign
                                                     
Daughter #3   Born-September        Libra            Air Sign

Note: Daughter number 1 and Daughter #2 were born the same Year

I happen to be daughter number one, yes, the only one born in January.  When I look at my family I see magic.  At least on paper I see magic.  I know when other people look at us they see magic, too.  When people see our names they think wow that is magic.  Our mother's name is Glenda and refers to herself as Glenda the Good Witch.  Yes, we know the Good Witch spells her name with an "I" but really my mom is Glenda The Good Witch.  My mother blessed me with the name Love.  Joy and Faith (Faith's full name Faith Hope) quickly followed me into this world.  So, Glenda The Good gave birth to three daughters named Love, Joy and Faith.  That is a lot to live up to.  People expect so much of you with names like ours. 

We all have one goal, to see the best of each other and to experience that magic together.  The thing is this is harder said than done.  The one goal we have requires us to accomplish many smaller goals.  Add to that the many road blocks of life and the fact that when one of us gets hurt all four of us are hurt  and you begin to understand that the magic that is within tends to elude us.

We have awesome times together but we also have epic fights with each other.  We are each others best cheerleaders so when one of us lose we are all pretty bummed out.  We work together on many projects  and compete with each other on other projects.  I personally feel that when one of us does well my life gets better and if all of us are doing well it feels like the absolute perfect magic.  "Doing well" many times concerns an outward appearance.  Image, money and material things are easy for all too see but I know there is more to it than that.  I also know that my sisters are more than good looking women in a Herve; they are also the women who light up a room when they walk in.

I want see what happens when we become our best.  I want to know the freedom of having a good hair day and being my perfect weight and having my career success all on the same day.  I mean, do any of us have that day really?  I might have a good hair day but my career is in the toilet or my weight is out of control.  Oh and even if I do manage to have an awesome hair/body/career day I am only winning one-fourth of the battle cause I want my sisters and mother to experience that day, too.
