NOTES AND BLOGS
A Note from the Editor
by Greta Belanger deJong
You've probably heard: Bernie Sanders is coming to town. Today! Can you set aside whatever you're doing and head up toward the foothills for a few hours? I'm personally counting on inspired speech and wisdom. And an equally amazing crowd of Utahns who are ready for some positive change.
Whether you're a rock-solid supporter, a fan of another candidate or uninterested in politics altogether, I feel pretty sure you'll find this an experience you'll reflect on gladly.
It's inside the Garden Place, a beautiful building at This is the Place Park. Parking will be limited; carpool if you can or check out the bus.

Transformational Astrology: March 16-23
by Ralfee Finn
Hurry up and slow down is the mantra for this week and the next couple of weeks, as the pace as well as the structure of regular routines grows increasingly elastic. Several planets are slouching toward a retrograde, and as they move closer to their "turnaround," a sense of urgency underscores normal activities. Even those who don't know about retrogrades are feeling a push to get "it" all done. And as that unidentified yet manic urgency collides with an even wackier-than-ever world, daily life becomes, as the Temptations once sang, a ball of confusion. That's what the world is today. Run, run, run but you sure can't hide...an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth...vote for me and I'll set you free. (Read more.)
The Novice's Grimoire: March 18-24 Rosemary Oil
by Z. Smith
Dear friends, readers, and novices, welcome back! This week we are discussing rosemary oil and its various abilities. Recently I have found my mind a bit clouded, constantly jumping from thought to thought, racing over the past, present and future. In short, it has been hard to focus. In our "need it now" society, this kind of issue is becoming more and more common. With the whole of knowledge seemingly available at our fingertips, it's hard to stick to any one task for longer than a few minutes. In hopes of trying to lengthen my attention span, I work with my phone out of sight, I put on music I know well so it doesn't distract me, I employ an oil with focus-inducing capabilities. I found rosemary oil, and along with it great mental focus. (Read more.)
