“March: Its motto, ‘courage and strength in times of danger.’”
William Morris
Greetings, Earth people! Welcome to the third month of 2026. The mystique of March is in the air. February's gift as it passed the monthly torch had the planets aligned overhead, reminding us we are not alone in this solar system we call home.
A March blood moon dripped its eerie glow into the wee hours, sending superstitions and premonitions into global hyperdrive.
And finally, March madness rhetoric runs rampant as nations, their governments, and the many faces of political parties (including a few royals) gasp their last breaths of defiance.
Fraud, waste, and abuse don't even begin to describe the myriads of injustices levied upon weary citizens to pay for the indulgences of the elite grifters.
We're being bombarded with stories of unimaginable evil...swiftly replaced by tales of ferocious wargames that annihilate previous notions of warfare and regime change.
A seemingly never-ending stream of horrendously tainted info bombs, discombobulating innuendos, and overlapping psyops compete for every tweet, post, podcast, article, and breaking-news blip on the planet.
Never before has it been a better time to unplug when needed. Remember 'TMI'? These days I don't think anyone can argue we're getting 'too much information'. Bottom line, take care of yourself. Pull the plug.
The long and short is this; things are going to happen this month. Many of them will be uncomfortable and destabilizing for many. This Earth of ours is in the midst of historical and generational change.
I don't know how it will all shake out, but for the most part I am optimistic. The veils have been lifted, and day by day a little more light shines through the cracks of evil and despair. I'm taking notes--the heroic and miraculous life stories that will emerge from this chaos will be amazing examples of human spirit and ingenuity. And for that, I am extremely grateful to be able to witness.
Wishing you and yours a blessed month. Keep the faith.
It's Wednesday, time for Dear Diary:

Jaunts in the French countryside and classic winter mysteries this month from the writers of X...
In this down to earth, heartwarming narrative, Beth and her husband, Jack have found their dream domaine. Their new estate features a lovely abode (after renno, of course) with outbuildings to house their flocks, surrounded by lush acres of forestland.
The woods are filled with a variety of animal species that delight and enchant the new human owners and their resident fat dogs. A surprising friendship develops with a very unlikely forest inhabitant. I won't give away too much, but I guarantee you will smile and sometimes gasp as the never-a-dull-moment tales of their coexistence are revealed.
