"DECEMBER DIVASCOPES"

See if all the stars and planets are aligned for you this festive holiday season in this last installment of 2008! Here are your December 'Divascopes'! Happy Holidays! Enjoy!

ARIES (March 21-April 19)
You might end up with coal in your stocking if you’re not careful with your words in the workplace. A big blow out with a fellow colleague near the water cooler could jeopardize your advancement within the company. It’s a case of ‘he said/she said’ and you don’t want to be labeled as being difficult by your boss now do you?
Lucky Numbers: 9, 14, 17, 24, 27, 36

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Tis’ definitely the season to be jolly with that special someone in your life. Romance is in air so let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Why not try a ski chalet over the Christmas holidays with your mate. It’s a great get away from the big city too. Imagine hitting the slopes by day and then relaxing in front of a cozy fireplace, hot chocolate in hand at night with your sweetie. Don’t forget the tiny marshmallows!
Lucky Numbers: 18, 28, 29, 31, 37, 41

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the mall, everyone hustling and bustling, when I received a call. I didn’t recognize the number at first, then I was pleasantly surprised and I almost burst! It was an old flame who I hadn’t heard from in a while. As I searched for the perfect sweater all neatly placed in a pile. I found the right colour and off to the register I went. Cell in hand, and bags of things I had already spent. As soon as I was done he said, “Why don’t we get together?” I said, “Sure!” And thought now at least I have the perfect sweater! This season was getting merry and all was bright! As I shout in the parking lot…”Happy Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight!”
Lucky Numbers: 1, 5, 8, 12, 22, 36

CANCER (June 21-July 22)
They’ll be more than one gift under the tree for you this year! A big shiny package in silver wrapping catches your attention. A tiny package with a big red bow has your name on the tag. Both are from your significant other and you can’t wait to see what she’s gotten you! Remember Christmas is right around the corner so exercise a little patience. It'll be well worth the wait!
Lucky Numbers: 8, 24, 28, 34, 38, 42

LEO (July 22-August 22)
There’ll be more than one suitor waiting for you under the mistletoe this year! You’re in the driver’s seat and loving every minute of it! It’s your turn to decide who will be the lucky ‘Rudolph’ leading your sleigh in the night! Who needs 8 tiny reindeer when you’re the little ‘Vixen’ in search of a little ‘Cupid’!

Lucky Numbers: 5, 10, 15, 25, 35, 45


VIRGO (August 23-September 22)
You’re really getting into the Christmas spirit and decide to get a real tree. It’s time to leave the fake one in the attic and bring the fresh aroma of pine into your home. This is a special project designed to bring you and your lover closer together during the holidays. The fun of trimming the tree can lead to plenty of romance. And afterwards you can cuddle on the couch under a warm blanket and enjoy the fruits of your labor. This night will be anything but silent!
Lucky Numbers: 5, 6, 18, 23, 33, 43

LIBRA (September 23-October 22)
You might want to put out some extra cookies and milk for Santa this year. You haven’t exactly been ‘nice’ all year and it just might result in him being a little ‘naughty’ to you under the tree this year. A little chocolate chips really do go a long, long way!
Lucky Numbers: 12, 17, 22, 27, 30, 34

SCORPIO (October 22-November 21)
Decked out in a little black dress, aren’t you just the cats meow at the office Christmas party this year! You were born to schmooze! If you’ve got it, why not flaunt it right? Who says cats only have 9 lives! Meowwwww!
Lucky Numbers: 3, 7, 16, 28, 34, 35

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21)
Christmas shopping has gotten you stressed out more than you ever imagined this season. DVD’s for Louis, a new wrench set for dad, a Play Station for little Timmy and your mind is working overtime! Take time to make a wish list of what you wouldn’t want to receive under the tree and that should help you before braving the crowded malls!
Lucky Numbers: 8, 14, 17, 25, 33, 40

CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19)
A pinch of nutmeg, a cup of rolled oats, a teaspoon of sugar! No matter what tasty treats you’re delving into making this holiday. I’m sure a little sweetness will go a long way with your honey! Have a little fun and adventure in the kitchen together! You never know what new creation you might both come up with if you try!
Lucky Numbers: 10, 21, 29, 41, 44, 47

AQUARIUS (January 19-February 18)
A trip to Niagara Falls at night to see the brilliant ‘Festival of Lights’ is just what the doctor ordered to get with the festive spirit of the season. A little romantic dinner high a top the Skylon Tower is simply breathtaking! And the view across from the table to your sweetie isn’t bad either! You should do this every year! Check please!
Lucky Numbers: 2, 5, 23, 27, 32, 46

PISCES (February 19-March 20)
You’ve had a bit too much eggnog for your own good this year and it isn’t even Christmas yet! Try to have dinner at home or fill up on munchies before indulging in some festive holiday drinks that otherwise would make you act more like the Grinch than Jolly old Saint Nick. No one likes a holiday dork!
Lucky Numbers: 14, 21, 36, 37, 38, 39

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!

~HAPPY NEW YEAR!~

"SECOND CHANCES"

This is an incredibly beautiful poem that the one and only love of my life Louis wrote especially for me this past Valentine's Day. It's appropriately entitled 'SECOND CHANCES'.It was his first attempt at writing poetry, but he's said that 'the words just came to him so easily'. I was so deeply touched by it and now with his permission I want very much to share it here with all of you.


'SECOND CHANCES'

Shuffling along through an ordinary life

Full of uncertainty and occasional strife

Never imagining any other way

Of living my life except day to day

I spent my days often full of rage

Feeling as if I were trapped in a cage

No way out and nowhere to turn

For the slightest of changes I would constantly yearn

Then one day I met a new friend

Someone to chat with at every days' end

She brightened my day and she made me smile

Something I hadn't done in quite a while

Every night we would meet online

To share our day and spend some time

I looked forward to talking every single night

But deep down inside I just didn't feel right

How could I feel what I knew I was feeling

The thought of it just left my senses reeling

Wishing at times it would all disappear

But then again that was my greatest fear

This woman had touched me in so many ways

That I knew in my heart she could not go away

She came into my life like a gift from above

Asked me for nothing and offered true love

Never before had I been so torn

Feeling so guilty yet at the same time reborn

A chance at happiness was here at last

A chance to escape my unbearable past

This would be one of my most difficult fights

Guilt ridden days and long sleepless nights

When weighing my options my heart would just pound

The answers I searched for just couldn't be found

I finally decided to stand up and face it

Like many a dream I simply had to chase it

My old life was offering me nothing more

Some harsh bitter words had opened the door

I walked out of my home after all those years

And for the next day or two I cried so many tears

Questioning myself and the choice I had made

Was it all worth the price that would have to be paid?

As time passed I became more convinced of my choice

I could finally speak with my very own voice

Living for myself was something I'd come to know

And my love for this woman continued to grow

She took me away from an angry wife

And showed me a new and beautiful life

Filled with compassion, no price to pay

I had never imagined it could be this way

So much of this story now lies in the past

The changes have come so incredibly fast

This wonderful woman has brightened my life

And I can't wait for the day I can call her my wife
