Sunday morning, Labor Day weekend, I was trying to wash a stack of dishes while my two year old and his puppy were on a tear of destruction behind me. We just got over a tantrum when he pulled salsa out of the fridge just to spill it, and fought for at least a half hour when I demanded he was responsible for cleaning it up...

You should reorder a few values in your life. It’s time to think outside the box. Madame G recommends that you learn a lesson from the wise rattlesnake. When they are babies they release all their venom at first bite. This will kill their prey. But, they have nothing left. Adult rattlesnakes don’t do this. They know to slow down and strike carefully. May you do the same.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is the world of the future. There is no other time but now. Stop looking to an unknown world to be perfect. Enjoy what you have. Live, laugh, and love! That’s all you really need to know.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Instead of focusing on the details, take a moment to stop and look...

Gallup group looks at the decline in history education

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” - George Santayana

Some would argue that whether we learn our planet’s written history or not, we may very well repeat the worst mistakes. But area historian and archaeologist Martin Link hopes to open up a discussion on the mounting crisis in history education (and arts education, music instruction, and more) that is increasingly lessened by a focus on vocational training, economic development, and the ensuing loss of critical thinking skills.

Senators looking into proposed seizure of land to build Trump border wall

WASHINGTON, D.C.-  U.S. Senators Tom Udall, D-N.M., and Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., announced Sept. 11, that the nonpartisan U.S. Government Accountability Office  will investigate the Trump Administration’s efforts to use eminent domain to “take the land” of private landowners by any means necessary in order to build an ineffective border wall.

In August, Sens. Udall and Heinrich sent a letter to U.S. Comptroller General Gene Dodaro, urging GAO to investigate the Trump Administration’s harmful efforts that could affect New Mexico.

Sens. Udall and Heinrich emphasized that despite multiple requests...

Happy Friday 13th! Madame G wishes you well. If you find you don’t want to do something consider your deeper motivations. You might be avoiding a deep truth that needs to be faced. It’s perfectly fine to run away to fight another day. But, sometimes you need to stare the hydra down and fight. You know if this is the time to fight or hide.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Your life’s trajectory is not set in stone. You can make moves to better your life. You may not be a rock star or some other type of star, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a good life. You’re not a bad person. You’re a good person who occasionally makes mistakes and those mistakes might be really really BIG...
