The newly discovered comet ISON, which late this year could give sky watchers one of the brightest shows ever, shines in a new movie made by a University of Maryland-led team of scientists. The team recently began tracking and studying the comet with NASA’s historic Deep Impact spacecraft.
The “movie” -- a brief clip of comet ISON -- won’t win any Oscars, but it is an early look at a comet that promises to be a major light in the night sky during its close-up with the Sun beginning November 2013. This close encounter also holds the potential for exciting new scientific insights into the composition of comets, the most pristine remnants of the early days of our solar systems, says Maryland astronomer Tony Farnham and other members of the Deep Impact science team.

Life here is precious, for we are love and light evolving as beauty and joy each and every moment. Today you can begin to feel this divine Selfhood by being who you really are. Each time you look into the mirror, go beyond your personality and see the divinity that is within. Make it a point to see yourself as Spirit in all you think, say and do. Yes, you have many personality traits in your human form. Many of which you are constantly attempting to transform because you judge them as either a positive or a negative. But in truth, we are all Divinity remembering what we have been all along. Each of us on a separate path, mirroring sign posts to one another "Grow," "Love," and "Trust." Be grateful for each meaningful shortcoming because it is an exercise that can assist you in partaking of your own divinity.
NCDC says that 1,222 daily snow records have been broken (in 44 states!) already this March 2013 through March 24. If that sounds like a lot, it is more than twice last year's 514 and is the most since 2006, when 2,030 were broken (tied records are not considered here)
Indeed it does sound impressive until you consider than there have been 934 record highs (or high minimums) so far the month:
WOW! It seems so long since we spoke and I feel like I have been on an enormous trip, both mentally and emotionally whilst away these last five weeks.

So where are we then regarding what is happening for us and where do you fit in?
