BIGGEST FULL MOON OF THE YEAR WILL OCCUR THIS WEEKEND
The moon will officially become full Saturday, May 5th at 9:35 p.m. Mountain Time. This is also when the moon will be closest to Earth, called the lunar perigee. Whenever the moon’s fullness coincides with its perigee, we have what has been nicknamed a ‘supermoon’.
Cool, huh?
But, wait, there’s more. Not only does the moon’s perigee coincide with the full moon this month, but this perigee will be the closest to Earth of any this year. In other words, it’s the perigee of perigees. Of all the times in 2012 that the moon will be closest to the Earth, this time will be the closest of all. It’s the closest of close moons. As it passes overhead in the dark sky, bulbous and bright, you will be able to to hear a slight whooshing sound.
For reals.
Because of all this closeness and fullness, the moon will be 16% brighter than normal, so eye protection may be necessary.
The last supermoon occurred in March 2011. That’s it in the picture above, taken by a guy named Tim McCord. Look how fucking close it is. Jesus.
The best way to view this month’s supermoon is by stepping away from your computer and actually going outside to look at it, and the best time to do that is just after it rises or just before it sets. It will appear even bigger then, filling the whole sky with its cold, creepy moonness.
Yay!
Share this on Facebook. Help spread the word about the really big moon!

Local Food Lab: Calling all would-be food and farm entrepreneurs: Now is your time. -
It was impossible to miss the uproar caused in the past few weeks by the whistle blower who exposed the beef industry’s use of pink slime in a huge majority of the ground meat we buy and eat in this country. The story quickly became national news and forced very big food companies and school…

‘At first, I was not aware of why I was changing so much. I knew I was more calm and patient, and others were telling me how peaceful I looked, how I seemed more rested and happier. I felt more hope, more joy, more purpose and more satisfaction in my life’. -I still have much to learn-

I have almost everything I need. I just need help on bringing water bottles with me. They tend to put a heavy load on a backpack. Any lightweight ideas. This isn’t going to be some two day hike. Its more than 10 days. I mean I will come across towns, this isn’t a hike in the forest, it is across states, so I can go buy me something to drink If need be, but I don’t want to use what little money I have.
I actually use a camelback that will fit under my pack. You can find them in a lot of different sizes and shapes to you can get comfortable with. The only drawback that I’ve found is that if you wait to long the water slowly rises to body temp and isn’t as delicious as a nice cool drink but it’s still wet. Good luck and many blessings.

Love, Spirituality, Wicca: I'm Sorry -
If you blog NSFW material I cannot follow you. I like to show tumblr to my brother, showing him all the cool things about tumblr, and I can’t do that when there are penises and vaginas all over my dashboard. And If I wanted to see porn I’d go to the millions of porn sites all over the internet. I…
Thank you for making that commitment. It shows great strength to do that and sets a wonderful example.
May your journey be filled with friends you can trust, love you can share and wisdom you can carry for a lifetime.
Love and Blessings

Grounding Yourself Through Aerobic Exercise and Meditation -
“For anyone working to promote presence and to alleviate the anxiety caused when emotions become overwhelming, I recommend a combination of aerobic exercise and meditation, as the two are highly complementary.”
Grounding, Exercise and Meditation are each immensely necessary for me to help me maintain my focus and control my emotions as well as staying healthy. I encourage everyone to work on it. Start slowly, lol you may even find yourself falling asleep at times during your grounding and meditating but it’s normal. Soon you will be able to find your peace in just about any situation.
Love and Blessings
