It was through great personal loss that Opal Publishing was born. My interest in books, writing, and publishing has been a life-long passion with many cumulative years of experience ranging from working in printer binderies to self-publishing and magazine publishing and marketing/sales. In 2000, my mother self-published her book, The Many Waters; it was the spark that ignited my passion for book p

ublishing. Between 2000 and 2008 I became a professional editor and book reviewer, and in 2008 I landed my dream-job. I was the Senior Editor with a Calgary magazine publisher. I learned every aspect of the magazine publishing business, from incoming news and ads, layout and design, to the printing and circulation of the magazine. There is a kind of magic in creating a publication from bits and pieces to make a magazine that is held, read, and savored, and after a few years of learning the publishing business I was really interested in learning how I could use these skills and knowledge to create my own magazine. I already had a small newsletter that I was circulating to the Calgary Public Library branches, but within a few months it had grown to a magazine and I was thinking realistically about starting my own company. I was diagnosed with breast cancer. My two sisters were also diagnosed with cancer just before I was, and my sister, Charlene, was now terminal. Charlene began writing a book about her experience, under the guidance of Neale Donald Walsh, which she later decided to write with a different angle. My sister was my best friend. I was her confidant and editor. As her disease worsened she found it more difficult to finish her book. Two weeks before she passed away in June 2014, I finished her final chapter for her. She never did get to hear it. I was to lose my mother only eight months later. To lose my mom and sister was the most painful experience of my life, but it was through loss that Opal Publishing was born. In love and in memory of my mother I chose to name the company, Opal Publishing, for the birthstone that we both shared: opal. Charlene always hoped that I would publish her book, The Forgotten Song; but to be honest, the pain is still too deep. It has been 7 years. I do have plans to make it so, maybe 2022 will be the year. I am immensely proud of Opal Magazines, and I invite you to explore the ways that Opal Magazines can promote your business or modality.

MOON PHASE: New Moon
Manifestation, Creativity, Self-Reflection

The New Moon is a powerful moment to ignite your intentions! A vibrant wave of energy envelops you—what do you truly desire? What dreams have you tucked away, yet they continue to glow fiercely within you? This New Moon phase invites you to delve into these profound reflections as the moon commences her exciting new growth cycle.
Embrace this time to journal passionately, crafting your intentions as if they are already yours. "I am filled with joy and thriving in my dream job."

Today's Moon is in Pisces

Self-reflection ignites a journey within. In Pisces, we dive into the profound depths of emotional understanding, where compassion flourishes and empathy knows no bounds. During the moon's passage through Pisces, your worldview transforms into a vibrant tapestry of connection—interweaving hearts with others, embracing the wonders of nature, and reaching out to the divine in our shared experience.

In astrology, the Saturn Return refers to Saturn's journey, which takes about 29 years to orbit our Sun, representing time and personal growth. We can also look at these cycles as markers of initiation into new phases of our lives. The First Saturn Return at the age of 30 is when we become an adult, the Second Saturn Return at the age of 60 is when we enter the years of the Elder, and the Third Saturn Return at the age of 90 is marked by Wisdom.
I invite you to think back to those years in your own life and reflect on what was taking place, and what did you take away from it.
