Music, a story, a dream, a goal, a vision, a question.
Last night I listened to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir (they have changed their name to the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square).
And I heard a story – about a man who was abandoned as a child & who not as an adult has tended & cared for thousands & thousands of children over the years, over 60 years. Here is the music & the story.

I received an email this morning from another teacher who asked me what my goals (Sagittarius) were for 2026. I realized I hadn’t thought about goals. As a Pisces I don’t think about goals. I have dreams, aspirations, visions. Capricorns have goals. Dr. Mulli is a Capricorn. He had goals & he reached those high aspirational Capricorn goals. As a Pisces, I don’t have the earth skills that a Capricorn has. I have to have patience. The resources comes from elsewhere. I responded to the teacher, who is a friend, that I had the dreams of establishing orphanages for children, Erdkinders, communities, gardens – returning humanity to the Garden. As my age, I don’t know if these dreams will manifest in this lifetime. I know ALL dreams manifest at some time. Over lifetimes. I told my friend that I don’t have goals because I don’t understand that word & also, having unfulfilled dreams over a lifetime I might feel disappointment. However, in meditation this morning, I realized instead of disappointment, I will cherish my dreams & aspirations, love them, treat them with care and tenderness.

And so…today – Scorpio moon day – deep hidden thoughts & feelings day – I will turn to you and ask what my friend asked me – do you have goals (dreams, aspirations, hopes, wishes) for 2026? If so, tell all of us. We are listening. Our knowledge of everyone’s goals, dreams, wishes helps them come truel.

Today, December 16, 2025 – Tuesday, Mars day – Action day – Ray 6 of hopes dreams wishes day – desires & aspirations day. A perfect day to ask that question of everyone. Sun square Saturn today – Sag/Pisces – the goals & dreams of Pisces.
Sag is the sign of goals. Pisces is the sign of dreams.
A perfect day today. love, Risa 

This is what we do as parents. The children learn from the heart of the parents that way. A most authentic learning.

Today my children are extraordinary expressive people.
Each one an artist (dance, painting, sculpture, clothing design, etc), each one musical, they travel, are collectors, prepare wonderful foods, they are inventive, imaginative, quirky, unusual & independent. Most of all in their heart they are artists.

I felt I wanted to say these things to you so that you (mother & father) develop & focus too on yourself & the self-ness of you is then given to your son, Joseph & then he learns all that you both as parents have to give him. Be confident in this self development & the sharing w/your child. Parents and children live parallel yet intersecting lives. Both are developing side by side.

About parents & children, I am always reminded of the mother duck who takes her little ducklings across a busy street in Memphis, Tennessee (1pm & 5pm each day. They walk together into the Peabody Hotel where they go to a fountain & splash around before retracting their steps together & go back out into the world & cross the street again. There is a red carpet now for their little pilgrimage.

You & Joseph’s father are that mother duck…the little one, Joseph, behind you, following & learning from you, trusting you, his entire world is the two of you.

Developing your skills & what you love, then is given to Joseph & he learns & then one day, he becomes independent & adds to what you both gave to him.
You two are Joseph’s first learning, first love, first community & first loving story.
Later Joseph, from all that you gave him, will create his own story. love, Risa 

Peabody Ducks

The Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tenn. still has its famous Peabody Ducks, who march daily from their rooftop “Duck Palace” to the lobby fountain at 11 a.m. and return at 5 p.m., a beloved tradition involving five North American mallards led by the official Duckmaster.

Monday – humanity’s day.
December 15, 2025. Mars in Capricorn – responsibility.
Scorpio moon – the depths of feeling today.
Sagittarius Sun – the sign of silence, goals, temperance.
