Astrology Forecast for March, April and May 2012
"We're captive on a merry-go-round of time..."
by Tom Lescher, Astrologist
The months of March, April and May will feel much like this merry-go-round of time is picking up speed by the day! If you recall the experience, it becomes more challenging (and more exciting for some) to hold on the faster the merry-go-round spins! In addition to the centrifugal force throwing us away from the center we may also imagine the horses on the merry-go-round that go up and down and up and down... perhaps fun for the kids but this may not feel like so much fun when it comes to your bank account, relationships, and future ambitions.

Peaceful Parenting
The Family Bed
by Amy Edwards
"And where do your boys sleep?" guests always ask quizzically when visiting our home for the first time, noticing the lack of any children's beds. I point to the room with the giant California King mattress on the floor, piled high with pillows and blankets (and sometimes stuffed animals) and answer, "We have a family bed." The reaction is usually a blank stare, followed by the inevitable, "You all sleep in the same bed? Oh... So how long do you plan on doing that?" My answer: until we're done.
