Once again we’re in big upcoming astrological movements. I'm so thrilled about the wonderful news on Marriage Equality here in the States and ironically it comes JUST as the planets are starting to shift again after a prolonged period of suspension. So I shared some info about all this during last week’s Living Outrageous Openness group call. (I find I'm often weaving a bit of the stars into the weekly calls there, since knowing the current transits while letting go and offering all to the Inner Divine for guided action is a potent combo.) Hope you enjoy! [audio src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/toshasilver/Forum/Suspense+of+Suspension.mp3"]  ...

Someone just wrote me and said, "Hey what IS this? Are you running some crazy religion or somethin?" And all I can say is, OMFG what a nightmare THAT would be! No, I'm no guru, I'm no savior, nada.

All is well.

The other day, I ran into a pal at Whole Foods who I hadn't seen in ages. She said, "So you write self-help books these days, right?" That made me giggle so as we waited in the long line, I tried to explain. "Well, to me, most self-help is like saying 'Hey, let's redecorate that dreary prison cell, ok? You know, it would look SO much better if you just changed that couch! Got new curtains! And with a new rug, well, you won't believe how pretty it could be. We'll even show you how to get a nice mate...

So for those who keep asking why the heck this book tour is starting under a wild and wacky Mercury Retrograde...Read on! 1) Well first, cuz that's when my publisher Simon and Schuster put it...partly cuz the paperback version of 'Outrageous Openness' will come in August too. I COULD have made a big battle and tried to move each book a month later, but it would have been a mess. And why bother? That's the date the Divine picked so I'm happy to go with that. 2) If you REALLY apply the ideas from my books to life, Mercury Retro...
