I’m dotting my I’s and crossing my T’s, putting the finishing touches on the wellness astrology presentation that I am giving Saturday at the Portland Body Mind Spirit Expo.
I’m also thinking through the other details of the trip. I’ve confirmed the hotel. I’ve Mapquested directions to the Convention Center. I’ve packed up the books. I figured out what I am going to wear. And, last but definitely not least, I’ve packed the Cosmos in my handbag.
And while as an astrologer I’m always traveling with the Cosmos ( 
), the actual Cosmos I am referring to is the essence made from this beautiful flower. That’s because Cosmos flower essence is, as I note in my book in the Gemini chapter, “a great aid for public speaking” that helps “focus the mind and create a clear channel between thoughts and the spoken words used to express them.” While I am not nervous, per se, to give the lecture, I know that there is so much information that I want to convey that having energetic assistance synthesizing it in a clear way is something I won’t turn down. I’ve used Cosmos before when I’ve given other lectures, and I definitely have found it to be of great benefit. (For those of you not familiar with flower essences, they are elixirs made from flower-infused water that work energetically to restore emotional and mental balance. They are available at natural food stores and holistic pharmacies.)
I’m looking forward to the lecture and looking forward to the weekend in Portland. If you’re in the area, consider coming to the Expo and dropping by my lecture. It’s slated for 4pm – 6pm in room 2.
Have a great weekend!
