This week's devotion is a prayer, "Our Mother," from page 131 of Words Made Flesh: An Anthology of Writings by Patricia Lynn Reilly.
Testify!
Jen, I will say for the one-thousandth time how incredibly grateful I am that you found this life path for yourself, and that our paths crossed again! I have benefited so much from your healing conversations! I am re-reading my notes from yesterday and they are so right on, so inspiring, so positive and helpful. THANK YOU! - Kim Jastremski

Astro Fridays: The roadmap out of your comfort zone
To find a good description of your comfort zone, you should look for your North and South Nodes. The astrologer, Bob Mark, has a very applicable description of the Nodes:
The Moon’s nodes are not planets. In fact, they are not even material objects! Just two points in space where the Moon’s orbit crosses the plane of the Earth’s orbit. The North Node simply shows the general area that you have to develop. The opposite point, the South Node, shows the place where you feel comfortable. Too comfortable. If you stay there, you get into a rut. And worse. Your life can stagnate.
Picture the South Node as your roots and the North Node as your leaves and branches. You have to grow in the direction of the leaves. If you spend too much time on your South Node roots, you get root rot. Ironically, it is only when we concentrate on our North Node sign that we get what we want from our South Node placement.
I’ve sketched out the comfort zone and suggested action steps for each of the Nodes below. Unless you’ve had an astrological reading, you probably don’t know your Nodes. I’ve included a North Node chart for people born between 1940 and mid-1986. If your birthday doesn’t show up on this chart, check out the longer chart at CafeAstrology.com.
