It takes determination and imagination to see past the sadness and losses of life. I have employed several methods to keep me buoyant. <strong>Prayer<\/strong> and<strong> Play<\/strong> are my greatest allies because these are things I can do for myself. It is a little precarious relying on others to make you happy. The buck begins with you.<\/p>\n<p>I love dressing up, playing a part, and swopping my normal personality for one who is far more interesting and exotic. What is normal anyway? I haven&#8217;t worked that one out yet lol! I also enjoy decorating my home and welcoming in the changing seasons. It keeps the energy of the home flowing.<\/p>\n<p>Halloween is one of my favourite holidays. It is Fiesta time for the Pisces performer in me! Besides, the end of October is a powerful time astrologically speaking. How do you express your individuality? Do you like to dress up? Decorate your home? Move things around? Keep the energy flowing?
