Sagittarius. This is what about.com has to say on Moon in Sadge: The Sagittarius Moon can be described as radiant, fun and visionary, with many notable pioneers born under this sign. They’re often optimistic about the future and open hearted, both qualities of which can be contagious. They appreciate life as a grand adventure, and …

I have a big, yellow jar candle that smells like maple-walnut. I think it’s a Martha Stewart candle, but that doesn’t really matter (I bought it at Liquidation World because of how it smelled — like my bedroom in our home in Kihei, when I went to high school). It sits on my stove, along …
