Lipstickmystic.com is Up and Running!
Yay! My new website, http://www.lipstickmystic.com, is finally up and running. You can access my new blog from there. Just go to the main page and click on the little star that says "blog." That will direct you to http://lipstickmystic.blogspot.com, where I will be posting all future blog entries. I'll be making frequent changes to the website, and I will be writing in the blog nearly every day.
I invite questions, comments, and your own mystical experiences, because I will be responding to these and posting many of them in my new Mystic Mail section. Also, if you have an astrological conundrum, do write to me, and I can take a quick peek at your chart and give you some tips on how to surf the cosmic waves with a minimum of trouble.
So, sniff, I guess it's time to bid adieu to this blog. After writing in it for over a year, I feel like it has become a family member. You've been good to me, Butt Kick! I'll miss ya!
Still, I can't feel too sad. After all, I am the proud mother of a new bouncing baby website, and I just can't wait for all of my readers to find their way there.
So come join the party at http://www.lipstickmystic.com. Something groovy is always happening in the Mystic Zone!

Please Bookmark My New Blog Address
Hi everyone. I'm in the process of launching my new website, and from there, you'll be able to access my new blog. The blog is operative right now, and the site is mostly viewable, with a few occasionally glitches as we add new features. Call it a "soft launch" at this point. The whole thing should be finalized by September 2nd at the latest. (That's when Mercury is out of retrograde, so I figure that most problems should be smoothed over by then.)
The new website if you'd like to bookmark it is:
www.lipstickmystic.com
You can access my new blog from the website. Just go to the site and hit the little star that says "blog." That will take you to the new blog. Or you can bookmark it directly:
http://lipstickmystic.blogspot.com
I can't wait for you to see the finished site! I'll have lots of changing articles, guest interviews, astro-updates, Q &A features from readers, and more. This is going to function more as a dynamically changing e-zine than just some boring resume in space (like so many websites are.) And you won't find articles about the aliens landing and taking over the planet, the coming destruction of the Earth, or conspiracy theories that are so depressing that they're guaranteed to leave you curled up in a pile of your own filth, sucking your thumb from sheer overwhelm. (Those sites have their place, but geez, lighten up, people! Every month, it seems that some New Age type is saying that the world is going to end tomorrow. All these announcements do is send people into fear and panic. And you know what? Last time I checked, the world was still here.)
Okay, I must run and do more work creating groovy material for the site. It's so exciting! I feel like an expectant mother ready to give birth to, well, something.

Time is Acting Strange
Okay, this is an official survey of sorts. Has time been acting strange in YOUR reality lately?
I ask because it has been in mine, and it has been with many other people I'm coming across, too.
I'm not just talking about a feeling of deja vu, which we've all had. You know what that's like. That's when an event that you are experiencing seems to go into "instant replay" in your mind, as if you are watching things play out for the second time in a row. Somehow, you know that you've seen that scene, heard that particular conversation, or observed that person before. And yet, logically, you know that you COULDN'T have.
I had a very strong deja vu two days ago coming back from a trip to Florida. Standing in the baggage claim, my honey and I were trying to figure out if we were standing at the right place. The information was a little confusing on the TV screens that were above us. He went to go check things out. When he got back, I went into this extremely strong deja vu where I looked at a girl standing in front of us who was also waiting for her bags, then I looked at him, and then I looked up at the TV screen for more info about our bags, and then I listened as my sweetie told me the luggage carousel had been changed and our luggage would now be coming out of a different chute. As this whole sequence of minor events happened, I was very aware of knowing exactly what was going to happen next. I knew I was going to hear him say that the luggage carousel had been changed right after I saw the girl, because somehow, I'd seen it all happen before. It was like it was all a re-enactment or a repeat of an earlier time it had happened.
But yesterday, time was acting even more strange. My honey went through a weird spell in the afternoon when he had to write a check, and as he was writing the date, part of him wasn't clear what year this was, even though he was PRETTY sure it was 2004. There was a sudden lack of awareness about the year, a feeling of unreality about it all. It had us a little spooked, quite frankly, because you always worry about a minor stroke when something like that happens. Fortunately, we had him checked out, and he was fine.
I've had things happen lately where I wake up in the morning from a vivid dream that seems to take place in a parallel reality (a world different from this one, yet somehow linked to it) and, when I wake up, I'm not sure what the time is, either. I sometimes don't know the day or the month or the year! It's a brief thing, but I'll tell you, when your awareness of time suddenly seems to slip away from you (and you haven't been smoking anything weird lately or drinking yourself into a stupor,) it's a little scary!
I was emailing a friend about this, and she shared with me that some strange stuff has been happening for HER with time, especially yesterday, around the same time this weird displacement in time was happening with us. She had her clock on her computer go wonky on her. (No biggie, I know, because computer clocks can be notoriously inaccurate.) But then other clocks in her house were suddenly off, and it wasn't logical. I mean, when you have different types of clocks that are normally synchronized suddenly stop or show up with a time that's an hour ahead or an hour behind, does that make sense?
It's as if the very thing that the clocks were measuring - i.e., time itself- was behaving badly, and it wasn't letting itself be measured in the usual way.
Have YOU been experiencing any time burps? Any temporal anomalies? Any time warps? What do you call these things, anyway? When a whole bunch of people are experiencing them who are way too young to be Alzheimer's candidates and who can't be completely, collectively, crazy (although sometimes we come close!) then just what is going on?
Send your time warp stories to me at:

****Please note that I will be shifting out of writing entries in this blog and will be making most of my future entries at a new blog site. This new blog will accompany my website, and the blog is already up and running now. You might want to bookmark it:
