About William Penn
William Penn is remembered as the founder of Pennsylvania; the democratic government he set up became the model for the United States Constitution. He was born in 1644 in England. After he was arrested several times for preaching Quaker ideals, he decided to found a settlement in America. He drew up the "Great Treaty" with the Delaware Indians to ensure they were paid fairly for their land and toured Europe marketing the new colony. He died in 1718.
SCORPIO (By Rick Levine) - Thursday, Apr 23rd, 2009 -- The Sun's alignment with intense Pluto, your key planet, allows you to move forward with the certainty that comes from accepting your place in the world. But this isn't about feeling powerless or victimized; it's about creating the very waves you are riding. You are among the movers and shakers now, so make something special happen while you can.

FROM -[Middle English intuicioun, insight, from Late Latin intuiti, intuitin-, a looking at, from Latin intuitus, a look, from past participle of intur, to look at, contemplate : in-, on; see in-2 + tur, to look at.]
I was driving along this morning, going about my daily errands and routine, when, out of the blue, I had what I immediately knew was a wonderful idea for an article. It did occur to me that I should pull over briefly to jot it down so I wouldn't forget it. Traffic was unusually heavy and, not wanting to become delayed, I elected to ignore my instinct. Damnit-all, I forgot it! Color me annoyed. (Why is it, i am in my second half century of life and have not learned yet to listen to my gut? - LOL)
So now, I'm trying to trace my morning thought patterns from when I woke up in an effort to try and grasp that elusive idea. Thus far, I have remained unsuccessful - which explains why I am writing about it. The notion of listening to one's inner voice - but instinct - first thought, is going to be my NEW idea for an article. HA!
Oh... my gut tells me I might want to hold off on the last-laughing until I see whether or not the replacement article is print worthy!
*sigh*
