What is the name of this painting by Balthus?
In an earlier post I incorrectly attributed a quote to Harold Whitman. The real person behind the following quote is Harold Thurman:
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
Thurman is one of the most important figures in African-American history. He had many callings—he was an author, theologian, and educator, just to name a few. But he happened to be a classmate of Martin Luther King Sr. While King’s son, MLK Jr, was attending Boston University, he was mentored and influenced by Thurman.
In 1944 Thurman established the first racially integrated church in America. He personally met with Mahatma Gandhi, who suggested nonviolence as a way to help black Americans in their struggle for civil rights.

The Spell: Begin this spell at a quarter to twelve on the night of a full moon. While in your silver pentacle circle of protection, imagine yourself showered with wealth and good fortune.

So Mote It Be”
Leave the mistletoe between the candles on your altar
Born on September 5, I chowed on 5 of NYC’s best birthday cakes. Two Little Red Hens’ red velvet cake trumped all, but Billy’s banana cake made a close second.
