Blue Moon ...


A Blue Moon occurs when there's two full moons in one month ... this one is quite rare ... a blue moon on New Year's Eve. A perfect time for making wishes and new beginnings.

The first reference to a 'blue moon' came in 1528, when the Oxford English Dictionary cited the phrase 'if the say the moon is blue, then we must believe it's true." It wasn't until the 19th century that 'once in a blue moon' became a popular phrase -- meaning rarely or highly unusual.

I have a feeling 2010 will be a rare year indeed. A year of change. A year of success. And, Fates willing, a year of prosperity and good health.

What are you wishing for this blue moon? Hope the magic sweeps you away and makes your hopes and dreams come true!
