Oh, past midnight meows, darling Felines, it’s serene on the tame prairie and it was summery today, even with the Autumnal Equinox almost upon us. Nope and mews, there is just no understanding folks at times. Truly, the Kougar is scratching her noggin, and thinking this is ‘looney tunes’ time. Yep, she is about to have a really good yowling, howling laugh. This is after receiving a so-called response from JERR, or Just Erotic Romance Reviews, then writing a response to their response. The Claws, the Fangs... the claws... that’s how this Big Cat author was feeling at first, not only over the silliness regarding JERR, but over another ‘clique’ situation currently taking place [the Kougaress is not and has never been a CLIQUE sort of cat girl ~ she loves people and animals, in general]... However, the absolute absurdity of the JERR situation has struck moi as really funny... and all she wants to do is LAUGH about it. Now. Question: How can you be blacklisted from a review group/site WHEN you’ve asked them NOT to review your books, and to remove the reviews they have done? Isn’t that like submitting a resignation at a job, then afterward they fire you, then vilify you? All this Big Cat can say right now... please, please, yes, yes, JERR, blacklist this Big Cat and her books forever and ever from your site!!! PUH-LEASE... To give credit where credit is due. Whipping Cream Reviews was gracious and professional about removing an inaccurate review when it was requested. Thank you. ~~~
Wow... to give this a bit of analysis, it may be that there are *camps* forming, to a greater degree than ever before, over what is an acceptable read and what is not. We like this type of erotic romance, but we *don’t* like this kind of erotic romance. Or, we like this style of writing, but we don’t tolerate anything out of the box. And, if it is out of *our* box [be as dirty minded as you want to be here], well, it must be destroyed by a review. And, as an author this Big Cat ALWAYS plays and writes out of the sandbox. Also, the Kougar believed her suggestion that reviewers simply review those books they like, and leave the rest alone, was a good one. Apparently, some of moi’s books were left alone. THANK THE DIVINE!!! However, since there is a shortage of reviewers why torment an author with a bad review? It is, after all, only your opinion. And, why not spend your time reading enjoyably?~~~~~~

From Astrology.com ~ The Sun, on its final day in Virgo on September 21, decides to go out with a real fanfare of trumpets as is opposes expansive Jupiter and then sparkling, excitable Uranus in Pisces. An opposition usually produces a tension between the two ends so the hard-working Virgo Sun will not quite know what to do with lazy, over hopeful Jupiter, which usually expects results effortlessly. But, add Uranus into the mix and the energy will add adrenaline and speed us all along.There should be more sudden and positive surprises coming your way, sprinkled over the past couple of days since the Jupiter Uranus conjunction on September 18-19. With the morale boost this brings, you'll be eager to take a few small risks, to step out into the unknown and try to make a real difference to your life. This isn't the time to hang onto security or the status quo. If you've been holding yourself back because of uncertainty, timidity, lethargy or even hopelessness, now is the right time to take a leap forward. Be bold!On September 23, at 3:09 AM UTC (September 22, 11:09 PM EDT, 8:09 PM PDT), the Sun moves into Libra for four weeks ushering in the Autumnal Equinox of 2010. The year is nearing the end. It is autumn in the Western Hemisphere, and spring approaches in the Southern Hemisphere. The days and nights are of almost equal length. The Libra Ingress (point of entry of Sun into Libra) was always considered to be the most important, setting a tone for the coming twelve months.The Sun's sojourn in Libra will bring a sociable, co-operative, fair minded mood to proceedings. Relationships of all varieties are Libra's main focus. As a sign it is happiest one-to-one, always thinking of the other and trying to calm down any aggravations. But it is also well adapted to larger groupings of people where Libra tries to instill a mood of balance, equilibrium and good manners.The new Libra Sun, however, immediately moves into an opposition to the Aries Moon setting the scene for a Full Moon on September 23. A Full Moon denotes a time of opposites with the nurturing energy of the Moon at odds with the active energy of the Sun -- a time to seek balance, but also a time a time of culmination, a time for things to reach fullness, bring plans and a project together -- a time of romance! ~~~~~~

Authoress news and mews ~Featured at LIQUID SILVER SEX blog ~ Showdown at High Noon!By Gem SivadWe’re dueling today in hundred word flashes. Take the gloves off (or put them on) Remember, all’s fair in love and war. ~~~
Here’s the Kougar’s flash scene ~ The Foal Sophie adjusted her mount’s bridle, then slipped her fingers over the leather making certain the fit was perfect. Grabbing a handful of the racing mare’s pale mane, Sophie launched astride, and leaned forward. “Go,” she shouted as her thighs tightened on her horse’s slick sides. Used to these spontaneous rides, her silver dapple mare eagerly trotted for the open gate. With a spirited toss of her head, Cloud stretched her legs and soon they galloped over the Flint Hills that surrounded her uncle’s ranch. Wild for this ride, Sophie soared inside. The restless ache of her loins became sheer excitement. The faster Cloud ran, the more Sophie’s blood sang with the thrill of it. Even though they ran the hard-packed trail that wound through the ranch’s land, Sophie kept watch for prairie dog holes, and anything that could harm the mare. Catching a glimpse of a dark Stetson near one of the watering holes, Sophie eased back on the reins, then circled Cloud toward it at a lope. To her knowledge none of her uncle’s ranch hands were working that area. The cattle had been moved to another range. With those extra broad shoulders, it could only be a man. Given the watering hole was partly hidden by a stand of scrub oaks and brush, Sophie followed his progress by watching his back. Obviously, astride a mount, she knew he’d dismounted when his Stetson disappeared from view. Slowing Cloud to a walk, she let caution rule as she approached. Gripping her derringer, she entered a break in the brush and hunkered down over the mare’s neck. The man knelt beside his coal-black horse and gazed downward. Sophie’s heart jerked as she saw the lifeless looking foal. When the man drew his sidearm, his movement professional, she jumped off, and charged. “Don’t you dare!” she hollered. With her fury driving her, she didn’t halt as he whipped around. Remaining crouched, he raised his gun. Not having time to take aim with her derringer, Sophie dropped it. Leaping, she flew the short distance landing square on top of his chest. His bulky body staggered back a bit. “Wildcat,” he uttered gruffly, as his arms clamped around her like a steel vise. Sophie twisted like the wildcat he’d called her, and his grip loosened. Fueled by her anger, she pummeled his shoulders and hard-as-a-barn-wall chest. “Whoa,” he muttered. “Whoa there, cowgirl. Or, I’ll...”Sophie smashed her fist into his jaw, not caring how rock hard it was... and, it was. A stunned expression spread over his mountain-craggy features. With her hand stinging bad, she reared back to hit him again. He rolled them, his body heavy as a bull calf on top of hers. “Get off, you coward!” Sophie fought his weight, struggling with all her might. “I’ll get off when you get some sense, and calm down.” His gravelly timber struck her middle like a sledgehammer, the kind that had her juicy with need. Shocked, she stilled, and desperately tried to think. “Much better, little wildcat.” His harsh breathing let her know he carnally felt her. “Damn.” The word erupted from him like an oil gusher. “Don’t you feel good as you looked comin’ after me.” “No!” Sophie struggled to roll from beneath him. Realizing her ‘no’ was for herself, and for him, she writhed furiously. When he didn’t move, keeping her trapped, she clawed at him. She didn’t see his mouth. Suddenly, his lips claimed hers with no intention of leaving. Her only thought was to play dead long enough... A tiny whinny interrupted. As one, they watched the foal stand. ~~~~~~

Part 630 ~Sylva smiled. “Mini motion pictures on our Earth’s so-called world wide web, also known as the internet.” Sylva danced her arms. Her stars moved with them making her feel ephemeral. “At the time I left,” she continued, “about anyone with computer access could make Youtube vids and upload them for anyone to see.” It was Bear Feather who spoke first, “Ah, yes, I have seen your Earth’s freedom movies, as we call them.” Eerily tingling inside, Sylva asked, “Freedom movies?” Indyra nodded gracefully. “Yes. Freedom lives on your Earth because of what we call, the united voice of the people.” Zeke made certain he observed his woman’s face. Knowing something about how repressive her Earth could be, he wanted to see how Bear Feather and his wife’s words affected his Sylva. She paused, in deep thought for long moments. The sparkles twirled around her in a gentle motion. “Freedom.” It was as if the word came from her heart and her soul. “Oh, I so hope so.” The true hope in her soft voice captured him. The flames of hope lighting her eyes further hogtied him. “No,” she whispered, “I won’t ask you. About the future. That is, if you know.” ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 629 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

Darling Felines, here’s hoping you are safe from the storms, weather storms and the storms of life. This afternoon a wind-whipping storm, probably what’s called a mircoburst, moved across the tame prairie and as the fury died down, the Kougaress looked out her kitchen window into the front yard. No pear tree. Hardly believing it, she kept staring. Yep, there it was, the newly torn, jagged stump. Poor Bradford Pear tree, gorgeous-gorgeous pear tree that had fully recovered from losing a major limb and was a picture to behold – pear tree had fallen in a way that was out of moi’s direct sight. As the reality sank in, the Kougar felt a whole lot of gratitude the tree hadn’t fallen on the house or on her van, but in the direction with the least impact... still... goodbye, Pear Tree, you will be missed, you are loved. And the Kougaress is terribly sad. ~~~
12:12 am... oh no! It just got moi, once again!!! ~~~

After re-reading Angel’s first chapter, the Kougar’s fourth book e-pubbed, yes, there might be a few improvements in the realm of expanding on what is occurring... however, moi felt good about reading that first chapter and good about her writing. It was definitely a confidence booster for this Big Cat author. ~~~~~~

From Astrology.com ~ On September 19 at 1:03 AM UTC (9:03 PM EDT or 6:03 PM PDT on September 18), Jupiter in Pisces is conjunct with Uranus also in Pisces. Both of these are sky energies since in ancient mythology Uranus was the God of the Sky, and Jupiter was equated with all powerful Zeus, who ruled from the top of the highest mountain.Jupiter is a positive thinker and attracts good fortune. Uranus is a sparkling firecracker of light bringing sudden insights, new solutions to old problems and it especially dislikes restrictions. Uranus wants freedom over anything else.The two together usually attract a lucky break or a pleasant surprise. Something comes out of left field to make life easier and more fun. It could be a chance to travel soon or a chance encounter that opens a new door for you. One way or another you'll think 'thank heavens for that' with a feeling of great relief and go on your way with a lighter step and a twinkle in your eye.However, you'll certainly not want to put up with compromises or situations which are unfair. Uranus can rattle the bars of your cage and give you the courage to say 'enough is enough'. You may also find that a pet project that had been gathering dust on the shelves suddenly comes back to life. There is always a fountain of new possibilities around when Jupiter lends its expansive tendencies to the lightning bolt of Uranus. It will kick start you into forward gear for sure.Later in the day -- on September 19, we have another cosmic energy of a completely different variety. Mars in Scorpio is sextile Pluto, which pulls together intense determination, depth of conviction and real guts. This aspect has the ability to give you a very clear understanding of a dilemma you may be facing in life right now -- at a very core level. You will not aim for the quick fixes or glib short cuts. You'll really know what needs to done and have the will power and persistence to ensure that you put your truth into practice. You may not say too much but you will be walking your talk for sure! ~~~~~~

When she caught sight of her arms, her lips parted with another quick intake of breath. “Oh...my...gawd. There are stars on me, too.” Unable to stop looking at the constant dance of sparkles, Sylva decided she should simply live this extraordinary experience. “We are all made of stars.” Bear Feather’s kind voice met her ears. “Star stuff. What Carl Sagan said.” Zeke repeated his Sylva’s words, “Star stuff. The birth and death of stars,” he added, then asked, “Carl Sagan?” Seeing Bear Feather’s glance that told him everything was okay, Zeke fastened his gaze on his magically glittering woman. “A celebrity astronomer on my Earth,” she answered as she swept her arms upwards with a swan’s gracefullness. “Celebrity?” Indyra inquired. “He was charismatic and had a way of explaining space, the cosmos, that captured the imagination. And didn’t let go. I saw Youtube vids.” Zeke, his dad, Bear Feather and Indyra all gazed at one another. “What are Youtube vids, darlin’?” ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 628 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

~ HAPPY LAST DAYS OF SUMMER ~Wish Upon on a Blue Moon New Year...
May your most romantic dreams come true... Flash Cat smooches from the Kougar...
Note: With the lightning storms threatening the tame prairie again, the Kougaress will be offering this special report on some of her book reviews she worked on yesterday.No, the full moon is not until September 23rd ... but maowsa-wowsa, did this Big Cat author ever go on a mad hatter search... and she needs a cat-thartic outlet... it began with Just Erotic Romance Reviews... and that cat-incurable curiosity moi has always had... *to digress, no, curiosity did not kill the Kougar*... however, it did get her fang-snarling and in the mood to pounce... long, long ago a whiney reviewer at JERR, whose grammar usage left a lot to be desired, gave RED LIONESS TAMED a poor review that was partly based on the fact that the reviewer did not like the cover art... okayyyy... whatever... Red Lioness had already received a couple of great reviews... so, it wasn’t all that big of a deal... except that this Big Cat author asked JERR not to review any of her future books. Because, really, who needs that kind of unsolicited abuse?For the rest of the JERR Rant... see below... or, don’t, it may not be worth your reading time.However, Early Full Moon Madness struck and instead of penning on her latest WIP, moi got hooked like a trout. She internet-searched out anything and everything she could find out about reviews of her books that she didn’t know about... yes, really silly... and rarely does she mess with that kind of in-depth search... it’s a time waster...One interesting good thing, she did discover, a couple of her books are being sold in New Zealand... who knew? Here’s the link for WHEN A GOOD ANGEL FALLS ~ thenile.co.nz/books/Savanna-Kougar/When-a-Good-Angel-Falls-Winter-Solstice-2012/9781606010280 ~ Lordy, lordy is the price high!And it was ‘cool beans’ to see her books being sold on the Amazon UK site.So, thanks to Gem Sivad, western erotic romance author, for her ratings on Goodreads of the Kougar’s books. This Big Cat author has never been able to figure out that particular site... it’s a frigging puzzlement.And, yeah, moi discovered another illegal download site she hadn’t been aware of... and will duly report... plus, she found one of those icky disgusting sex sites she wishes had never heard of her books and it’s probably illegal also, because of the type of porn listed... the type that emotionally rapes you... shake and shiver, it’s take-a-shower-time.The Kougaress has always felt and believes sex is a sacred act, no matter how erotic and passionate and lustful. However, just like anything else in this world it can be turned into a degrading soulless act that dis-empowers rather than empowers.From her heart, from her soul, that’s why this Big Cat author writes the way she does and pens the type of erotic romance stories she does... love, lust, sex, passion, power and eroticism, in all their fierce and subtle splendors, should be uplifting, should be at its core, human, and based on human emotion... naughty and erotic does not mean abuse of the spirit... the term, dirty, when used to describe sex, or an attitude about sex... or, what some call, the dirty girl, is about a natural state of sexual desire, one that is sometimes considered morally wrong... however, that natural state is NOT the ‘dirty’ feeling of being emotionally or mentally raped.Perhaps, this Big Cat has not explained adequately. However, she gave it her best clawing-shot.There is a sadness at living in a world where the sexual relationship is sometimes not valued. At least, in the fantasy worlds the Kougar builds for her heroines and heroes, the sexual relationship is valued, highly valued.Authoress news and mews ~The Kougar discovered that JERR ~ Just Erotic Romance Reviews ~ has reviewed, not just one of her books, and panned it for having cover art the reviewer didn’t like ~ but has basically panned two of her other books [no, being against torture on general principle, moi did not read those reviews]. Not being impressed with JERR’s ability to review worth a claw-raking damn, anyway [apologies to authors who have received good reviews ~ yes, you deserved that good review] this Big Cat has requested the reviews of her books be removed.There is no reason for an author to put up with reviews written by someone who cannot construct a proper sentence. Or, a reviewer who cannot comprehend what the story is about, let alone understand the heroines and heroes, and, thus, gives the book a poor review. It would be like a kindergartner reviewing calculus. Unless she/he is a math genius, the review is most likely to be one that pans calculus.Also, the Kougar had previously requested that JERR *not* review any more of her books. Furthermore, all the books JERR reviewed have received good reviews and *5* ratings from readers.If JERR refuses to remove the reviews, and the Kougar has given them permission to state it is simply a matter of *sour grapes* on her part, then the war is on. This Big Cat will not tolerate such unwarranted treatment. Especially, since she did not personally submit her books to JERR.Meow! Yowl, yes, the Kougar is hot under her collar... and she doesn’t even wear one.The deference shown to ‘undeserving’ reviewers roils this Big Cat’s tummy. Opinion is one matter. Everyone has one. However, opinions can and should be challenged.And, really, come on, if you don’t like someone’s book, just don’t read it or review it. Spare yourself and spare the author. I mean, how would reviewers like their poor reviews of an author’s book reviewed, and done in the same manner they have done the review?If it becomes necessary, that is exactly what this Big Cat author will do. And, she will bring the hammer down. Hard. In an uncompromising manner. After all, an author’s pen is mightier than a reviewer’s pen any day of the week.Gee, how about a blog devoted to reviewing bad reviewers? Reviewers don’t own snark. Authors own snark.Yep, no more dear Sally Field’s... oh, you like me, you really like me... who gives a damn if poor reviewers like your book? Really...~~~
Also, on the matter of reviews, if a reader or a reviewer truly rates one of the Kougar’s books with a low score because that’s ‘honestly’ how they feel about the story... NO PROBLEM... however, if it’s done out of jealousy, whether realized or not... OR, it’s being done to ‘get back’ at an author for one petty juvenile reason or another... OR! It’s simply spite... OR! It’s being done maliciously to lower the score so another author’s book looks better... well, that is unacceptable. And, whenever that happens, it is this Big Cat’s personal *will* that will only make her book stronger and sell better. POWER UP! POWER UP!~~~
May you and yours POWER UP!An Early Full Moon Madness smooch from the Kougar...
Friday into Saturday yowls, my Autumn-anticipating Kittens, where did the week go? More and more, the Kougaress hears that question asked... what a thrill and chill ride these days, good and/or bad... tornadic events on the immediate horizon, this Big Cat is betting... the tension in the world is so thick it would take banks of lasers to cut through it... Yep, watch those cute behinds of yours, most darling KitKats...~~~

After all, why should the criminal cartel oil companies get all the goodies and the profits? Why should THEY get to keep humanity imprisoned by the dark oil ages? Yeah, we need lots o’ pots of WHITE LIGHTNING here to counteract the dark oil ages. Screw the BIG BOY CARTELS.

Featured at ROMANCE WRITER’S BEHAVING BADLY ~ Flirty Friday Alphabet Soup by Valerie MannNothing like a nice bowl of soup to warm you up from the inside out! And with the cooler weather fast approaching? Gee, you can't beat these ingredients:Moi’s comment mew-sings ~ Valeria, thanks for digging up all the pics. All appreciated by this Kougar... Ah, come on, Fabio may not be to everyone's taste, but, hey, he did a WHOLE LOT to help romance authors in his heyday as a cover model. I mean, some readers bought just because he was on the cover. Besides, you know what, everything I've heard about him says he's a genuinely good guy and that should count for a lot, especially in this day and age. Yeah, Adrian Paul is my all-time fave!!!Bruce Campbell in so many roles including the thief in Xena, Warrior Princess and Hercules. Pierce Brosnan has his charms. And Sean Connery, oh baby, yes! ~~~~~~~
Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues... Part 628 ~ Sylva gazed at Zeke’s father, entranced by his glowing face as he remembered. “Yes,” Bear Feather intoned, “I led you here. We shared a dream vision.” With those words, he clasped Nevada in a big bear hug. Soon, the two men were hugging each other tightly. “Dream vision?” Zeke asked, once his father and the bear-man finished clapping each other’s shoulder. Though, the sound kept echoing. “There would come a time when the Bear and me would stand side-by-side to keep the evil from takin’ over our fair land,” Nevada answered. Bear Feather nodded. “That time is now, my brother.” Zeke’s hair stood up on the back of his neck and it felt like lightning zinged through his innards. He pulled his Sylva closer. “Never had so many otherworldly happenings in my entire my life.” He spoke as his dad and Bear Feather turned to face him and his bride. “Here.” His woman extended the box, now twinkling as if had been covered in stars. “Thank you,” Indyra spoke, “we are grateful.” Her steps floating the small woman approached, then gently took hold of the box. The sparkle increased, then to Zeke’s astonishment the starry light enveloped Sylva and Indyra. ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 627 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

Sighs and tries... my glorious and sensual KitKats, how’s it going? Even though the storm raged on the tame prairie yesterday, not like the storms raged in other areas of the country... and certainly not with the dangerous intensity that occurred in New York City. Divine blessings to All. ~~~
2:12 pm... IT GOT THE KOUGAR AGAIN! Could it be the weather is going Super Raging Nova... bigger, larger, more catastrophic for the year, 2012? No surprise, since Sol is becoming more active and shooting x-flares. WATCH OUT! Ooooh... freaky deaky, as moi just signed this bloggie with her kisses, about 2:40 am, the guest on Coast to Coast am, an outstanding teacher *Tom Berg* who gets it about true educating, not the crap that’s called education these days... anyway, he just said 2012, and talked about solving problems, to paraphrase, outside the box. ~~~
Lust or Love... is it all in the face? The Kougaress found an article online today about a rather crude experiment in how men behave depending on whether they are thinking long-term relationship as in marriage or if they’re just looking for sex, fling or a one night stand. Well, okay, it makes sense that men who want a relationship look at a woman’s face first before checking out her figure. Of course, the study’s contention is that fertility, the youth of the woman can be seen by how young her face appears. Yeah, yeah, I’m certain that genetic drive is there. Procreation of the species, and all. However, come on, do you want to sit across from a mate whose face you can’t stand? Or simply don’t find appealing. Whereas, if you’re just looking for lust in the sack, hey, someone’s face doesn’t really matter all that much. After all, it’s not a lifetime. Of course, there are all those instances where seeing a particular physical asset first, gets the juices riled up and ready... so, if you’re anxious, and can’t wait to see MS/MR sexy’s face... does that mean you’re turned on to the thought of being with them long-term? Or, if you remain enamored with their physical asset, does that mean you want sex until the feelings of lust stop? ~~~~~~

Featured at HAPPILY EVER AFTER ~ The Little Story That CouldWelcome interracial author, Marilyn Lee. I can't believe I've found another Charlie Chan fan. Warner Olan rocks. Today, Marilyn is sharing her rough road to publishing interracial romance. Thanks for being here today.My how things have changed—for the better regarding writing and publishing interracial romances. When I first started writing ebooks I wasn’t aware of any other author writing interracial romances. In those days, it was difficult to get a publisher to accept one. Epublishers (like their New York counter parts) weren’t convinced there was a market for them. ~~~

From Astrology.com ~ Pluto plays an important part in astrology, and rules transformation, regeneration, destruction and creation, although it may have been recently dwarfed as a planet.Pluto, which has been retrograde since early April, goes direct on September 13-14 in Capricorn. Now that it is back in forward gear, it can continue its main purpose of reorganizing practical matters especially to do with career and money. It takes Pluto approximately 248 years to complete its orbit around the zodiac. Due to the eccentricity of its orbit, it takes this planet between 12 and 31 years to pass through a sign. It rules Scorpio and the Eighth House. Pluto in Capricorn has been the talk of many astrological studies and discussions and will stay in this sign until 2024.Pluto indicates to us that the path ahead is never straight. We take three steps forward and then pause to either reconsider, or go deeper to find better answers, or reverse our actions to undo our mistakes. If we have learned the lessons this planet is trying to teach us we all should have become a little wiser, and a bit more resilient because of the experiences of recent months. We should have learned the lessons that Pluto has been asking us to learn.Pluto is a very slow moving planet, and we are still early in Pluto's sixteen year journey through Capricorn, the first phase of which is supposed to be all about destruction.We are being asked to review and re-evaluate our lives, our habits, our patterns of behaviors that belong in the past and no longer work for us. This is the time to dispose of old baggage we are carrying around before we can start to rebuild for the future. Ask yourself if you are hanging on sentimentally to something once very valuable or even essential to you, but no longer works for you.In order for true transformation to take place, each one of us has to learn to let go of what is worn out and what we have outgrown -- whether it be in our attitudes, our relationships or even our possessions. Only when we have cleared our decks, can we open ourselves up to new growth. The time for backtracking and reconsidering is now over. Start building and creating what will stand the test of time in your personal path ahead.Mars also moves out of sociable Libra into passionate and determined Scorpio on September 14 to join hands again with Venus until October 27 in their perpetual cosmic dance. Scorpio has a reputation as the miracle maker of the zodiac, and can move mountains when it wants. Add high-vitality Mars to the equation and there will be a powerhouse of energy available for those who choose to use it. Mars in Scorpio lets nothing stand in its way but bulldozes ahead, not always subtly but usually discreetly, until it gets the results it wants. However, watch out for the sting of the Scorpion, which gets an additional boost with Martian energy. It will be difficult to forgive those who may be deceitful, and it will be equally difficult to be forgiven if you are the transgressor. So play fair and use that courageous, relentlessly persevering energy of Mars in Scorpio to good end. ~~~~~~
Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues... Part 627 ~Sylva blinked, then gazed around. Feeling disoriented, she sensed for the truth. Where they in the Bear-man’s cave? For certain? Noticing how tightly she gripped the extra shiny box, she eased up and continued glancing around. If they were in the right place, where was he? Where was Indyra? Nothing malevolent hit her radar. Still... she tensed. Mentally sighing, she shut her eyes and reached out with her mind in an effort at contact. Keeping her patience, she expanded her search. Everything felt empty. “No one here,” she murmured. “Holy dang stars, I remember this place,” his dad burst out. Zeke pivoted around fast, keeping his Sylva beside him. “What?” Questions swarmed in his head quicker than a hive of disturbed honeybees. “Yes.” They all turned at the sound of Bear Feather’s welcoming voice. “Greetings, Nevada.” For the first time, Zeke witnessed his dad tongue-tied. “It’s all rushin’ back,” he finally uttered. “I was on a Quest with my scout troop, about age sixteen. It was my turn to spend a day and a night alone. Sometime during the night before morning broke, I got the urge to walk a trail.” Bear Feather moved toward Nevada, his arm open wide.~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 626 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

Or, know the strike of Archangel Michael’s sword.” Ignoring the small flare of fear in the pit of her stomach, Sylva rose to her tallest height. Her words had simply emerged and she burned powerfully inside. Preparing to sear the entity with more words, she opened her mouth. A box floated toward her. Shining, the silver oblong box looked like so bright Sylva was tempted to look up for the sun. After pausing a split second, she reached out with both of her hands and took possession. “Moreus, you are dismissed. Leave.” Zeke watched a smoky strange mist rise upwards, then vanish from view. “You okay, darlin’?” Spinning around, his woman gazed at him. “I want to go home.” Soft appeal lit her sky-colored eyes. “Home with you,” she added. “Once we give this...” In a heartbeat, the three of them stood inside Bear Feather’s cave. Zeke gathered his wits, and made certain his woman and his dad were beside him. “Dang it,” he burst out. “Sylva, dad –“ His wife leaned against his side and he took hold of her little shoulders. “Fine,” she muttered. “Yeah, son, still got my fleshly particles.”~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 625 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

STUFF TO KNOW THESE DAYS ~ BTW ~ If you’re a tax protester in Pennsylvania, you are now labeled as a terrorist who is attacking the infrastructure... that is, if you protest taxes that means you must be attacking the state’s ability to build and repair infrastructure... gee, no wonder there was a 1776 revolution... wow, go figure. AND! Even though, debtor prisons are illegal in most states, folks are now being arrested for as little as thirty dollars that ‘someone’ says they owe for a bill. However, there doesn’t necessarily have to be any proof. Ain’t that grand? You’re shopping as usual. All of a sudden the police roll up and arrest you for an outstanding bill SOMEONE says you owe. Yes, there are individuals who have been arrested for not paying a bill they didn’t even know about, and didn’t owe. What happened to our precious rights? What happened to our day in court? What happened to having actual proof? And, why aren’t the police stopping real life-threatening crimes, instead? PLUS! The MAFIA *FDA* COWARDS are at it again. Yeah, now they want to take away Garlic, Elderberry, and Dong Quai, and a whole list of herbs this Big Cat uses, herbs that have made a world of difference to her health. That have kept her alive. No medical doctor or hospital has ever cured or saved this Big Cat’s life. How many FDA drugs have killed and maimed people... at least, over a 100,000 a year murdered!!! from those so-called life-saving drugs. BE CAREFUL OUT THERE, DARLING BIG CATS ~~~
