You and Mother Lakshmi are most alike. She is the
Goddess of beauty, wealth, light, and good
fortune. She is the one you turn to in time of
desires. You are like her because you are
beautiful and you give others that knowledge to
know they are as well. So you like mother
Lakshmi give light and happiness to others.
Don't change.


What Hindu God or Goddess are you like?

As seen in p3aches journal, and rather apropos for me, a henna artist with a hindu name.

passion vs obsession

A surfer from California recently collected his 15 minutes of fame when he rode his board for the 10,407th consecutive day. During those 28 years, Dale Webster never took a vacation. To keep his mornings free, he worked exclusively at low-paying night jobs. He surfed on the day his daughter was born and the day he passed kidney stones. His eyes now have scar tissue because he has gazed into the sun for so long, and he's literally afraid to stop surfing for even 24 hours. I nominate him to be both your role model and anti-role model, Taurus. It's a perfect time to commit yourself with fierce passion to a long-term dream, but only if you promise not to let your devotion degenerate into manic obsession. Taurus

Hmmm... this could be a message that it is OK for me to back-off some from the henna stuff, or a reminder to get passionate about it again. Or, it could be related to any number of long-term dreams, like, say co-housing.

I don't think of myself as ever being obsessive about any of my long-term dreams, so it is heard to feel I need this warning, but perhaps it is a reminder to be more passionate about them instead.

The Pizza-Mafia

I am both amused and disturbed to read that there not only is a Pizza-Makers's Association in Italy, but that they have decided to regulate how authentic pizza is made.

One of the things I love about pizza, Italy's answer to flat-bread, is its versatility. True, I am not a fan of some of the things that Brits do to pizza (like sweet corn and tuna!), but the beauty of pizza is that it can be tailored to your specific tastes and moods. The yuppy pizza revolution has changed how many people think about this flat food, but I am still rather fond of a good Margherita pizza.

What is your favorite pizza?
