Dear friends and family,
This week CATALYST got a new  canine cohort. McGregor is a gentleman of uncertain age (great teeth, bad eyes) whose previous humans died, and whose sibling was adopted without him; we are grieving our losses together right now, while learning to love each other. This fluffball (more accurately, a Chinese Crested Powder Puff) came from a wonderful organization called Hearts 4 Paws via PetFinder.com. I am looking forward to being his, as they say, "forever mommy."

You'll need a steady inner compass to keep you on track this week-the astral winds are strong, so strong that nervous systems are in need of extra care. Even if you like being buffeted by powerful currents or you enjoy the surprise of unforeseen detours, you'll need some sort of homing device keep you on course through the week's twists and turns. Also, moods are more than a little testy, especially today and tomorrow-actually, most of next week-as many struggle to contain anxiety about what's coming next...( read more).
