E-mail Print PDF
The Santa Fe Business Incubator (SFBI) has plenty to show for its 20 years of existence: More than 145 companies have taken flight from the ever-expanding facility at 3900 Paseo del Sol in Santa Fe, and 1,000 new jobs have been created, 49 of them in the last fiscal year.

E-mail Print PDF
What goes up must come down – but don’t let that get you down. It’s not up to you to decide what you can appreciate and what you should ignore. Life is all about the compromise of letting go and allowing new and better things into your life. Madame G recommends that you spend some time with yourself this week. Take care of yourself and more importantly, learn to forgive.

 

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You’re heading down an interesting path. You don’t know what’s heading your way, but it’s important to prepare yourself. Dwell in possibilities! Now is the time to let loose and learn all you can. You’re not weak for trying new things or for wanting a different path than...

In response to the recent article taking steps to improve school security in our area. Recently I was at the Bluewater Elementary School my last week of service assigned by Sheriff Tony Mace to give schools extra security due to the recent incident in Florida.

I was upset to see cameras in the school had not worked in three years, and the he person responsible for damaging them had nothing done to him.

Secretariat is considered the greatest racehorse in American history. In his book, author Lawrence Scanlan called Secretariat The Horse God Built. Indeed, if you haven’t seen Disney’s Secretariat I highly recommend this powerful and enjoyable movie.  However, as a matter of practice I tend to look for the hidden elements in stories that apply to the lives we live here in Gallup and our surrounding communities.

If you are familiar with the story of Secretariat then you’ve probably heard of his jockey, Ron Turcotte, Lucien Laurin, the famous trainer and Penny Chenery, Secretariat’s owner, but have you ever heard of Eddy Sweat? I’ll come back to Eddy Sweat in just a moment but...

The New Moon or “Wishing Moon” emerges on March 17. So in addition to drinking green beer and clipping four leaf clovers, maybe make a little wish with your libations. This is a most excellent time for taking stock of the last month. Are you aligned with your goals? Are you living as you wish? Madame G suggests that you think this through now and take action.

Aries (March 21-April 19)



There’s no time like the present. You can’t keep waiting for others to see the good in you. You must own the good and bad in yourself, as must we all. You are not better or worse than anyone. Look deeply into your heart and dreams. What do you really want? It’s okay to dream big and think...
