The Beltane Fires kick off the lusty month of May on the first of the month. The Eve is also celebrated as we will do here at Moonhaven in Melrose. Earth Religions worldwide enjoy this time of feast and frolic to coordinate with the raising of the sap in nature which extends to our own warming desires and aspirations. A great time for us all to raise the fire within for whatever purpose we mjght require.
In 1976, I had the honor of meeting an Ancient Native Wise Woman by the name of Mello Rye who shared a May Day ritual with a group of us which I have enjoyed over the years. She told us to go to the ocean at dawn and as the sun is rising, the group should stand at the water’s edge and stamp our feet all together chanting Awak – nia over and over, this is to awaken the Earth Mother to stand up for Herself and feel the support of Her people. This is a simple ritual practiced in one form or another by indigenous people all over the world feel free to enjoy and share.
By May 5th, Cinco de Mayo, the moon will be full in Scorpio which always promises a level of intensity for many of us spiritually and emotionally. We are also experiencing an intensification of changes in the electromagnetic field of the planet, which as I have described in last month’s Astroflash, has been more challenging to us all including our animals.
Viral Victimization

Lee Lynch
I always thought I’d suffered my first few weeks of college. It was horrible, I was completely unprepared, but I survived. Instead of getting on a train and taking Tyler Clementi’s long jump, I got on a train and went to my big brother’s office to announce that I was quitting school.
What was I thinking? What did I expect my brother to do? Was I thinking? No; I was just feeling and what I felt must have been similar to what drove Tyler off his bridge: despair, fear, hopelessness, humiliation, shame, blinding desire, loneliness, desperation. You can’t think when you’re a seething vat of emotions and hormones. You can’t make a good decision. You just want to end the pain.
UV Rays — Got to See Them!
Friday, April 20th – 7:30pm
April 18th, 2012 prosuzy
UV Rays
Suzanne tells me last night, “By the way”, we are going to St. Paul ’s Lutheran church to see the Cole Porter show on Friday. And did you know he was GAY??
Hmmmph!!! I’m thinking, but then I see the light dawning on Suzanne as I remind her of the cool video I showed her a few weeks ago about Cole Porter and lavish gay lifestyle, as he had to keep his true self “sort-of” hidden behind a respectable marriage to a woman. (Thank goodness life is different now, or it should be).
And the breakout group from our own Gay men’s choir, Una Voce- the UV Rays are putting on the show. Those are the guys who inevitably steal the show by their antics and great singing voices at every concert. I love those guys!!!! So I am excited to go this Friday, even though I THOUGHT my calendar was clear. One of these days I’m going to figure out how to sync my calendar with the activity list, but I’m just too busy with that pesky work issue.
Sooooo, I am looking forward to a wonderful musical night, what will we hear? So much to choose from, all those wonderful musicals. Oh, just found out Suzy has the song list and it just went out on the blast, so no more wondering. All my favorites, although I could come up with a few more, if they had the time….
Now just wondering which of you will join us early, like around 6:30pm for a girls mingle with drinks and snacks on the porch. Friday is going to be a GREAT night. I can’t wait!!! I hope to see you there; I’ll have a hug ready. Please try to join us. St Paul’s Lutheran is 407 S. Saturn Ave., Clearwater www.stpaulsclearwater.org

Is this an April fools joke?
April 7th, 2012 prosuzy Wait!! It’s April 7th – can’t be a joke.
ProSuzy
I seemed to have filled a need in the lesbian community here in Tampa Bay when I started ProSuzy, in October 2000. I had an amazing ride. I met so many wonderful women, helped women meet great friends and lovers, helped businesses start up, got to play a lot and participated in a fabulous women’s community. Yes, the best part is I found the best woman in the world, my best friend & partner, Cathy.
Now about you. I hope you had some good times, that you met a lot of gals you like to be with, that you tried new things and have had some wonderful times being a part of the ProSuzy events. God has really blessed me having you in my life, in my family’s life.
I turned 63 in January and it is time I move on to something else, retirement. I’m not going to leave this position totally but there will be changes. There are many things I want to do and haven’t done and before the good Lord takes me home or my body falls apart, I’d like to be able to do some of them.
Gulfport & ProSuzy.com in Curve Magazine
April 4th, 2012 prosuzy More than lesbian-friendly, Gulfport is full of friendly lesbians.
by Gillian Kendall for curve Magazine, February 2012
Like many other tourist destinations, Gulfport claims to be Florida’s last undiscovered secret. But there’s nothing undiscovered and not many secrets in this 2.8 square mile beach town (population 13,000). It’s also said to have a “Key West flavor,” but it’s more densely dykey than Key West. Out gay city council member Barbara Banno estimates the lesbian-household population of Gulfport at about 35 percent.
Furthermore, Gulfport proudly lacks two things that clutter too many beach towns: chain stores and parking metres. In all of Gulfport—even on the main drag, Beach Blvd. South; even in front of the pier and O’Maddy’s Bar and Grille; even by the beach near the converted casino where women play volleyball
on Sunday mornings and then cross Shore Blvd. to party at Neptune—parking is free. There are no meters, no valets, no parking garages and no parking tickets anywhere in town.
Even better, once you’ve ditched your car to stroll, maybe for the twice-monthly ArtsHop, or just for an afternoon of shopping, beach-going and eating out, you won’t see a single chain store or restaurant. No green-and-white Starbucks signs mar the pretty, white-lit downtown blocks; no nasty 7-11 neon breaks up the lighting from the little bulbs in the trees and the candles on outdoor tables. It’s refreshing just to see the original signage, and even more refreshing to step inside to browse through original artwork and hand-made gifts, or sit down to food prepared and served by residents. Every shop in town and virtually every stall at the market is owned by a local.
Astroflash Monthly Horoscope for April 2012
April 1st, 2012 prosuzy Flash Silvermoon
by Flash Silvermoon
Spring is in flower and her aroma fills my nostrils with a most sensuous awakening. With the warmth and the new life blooming everywhere, a global feeling of Hope is reawakened. We come out of the cold and dark and it feels like a brand new day, especially here in North Central Florida. I see my cats lounging in the sun not unlike their larger counterparts, the lions and tigers that I visit regularly at the EARSinc.net Sanctuary nearby. You can feel that ancient feline connection, like the Egyptian Cat Goddess Bast or the wild lions and tigers on the savannas or veldt in Africa.
Spending time in nature now is probably one of the single most therapeutic and joyful experiences that we can offer ourselves, not just simply for the beauty but because it puts us in touch with what is real and important. There is nothing more crucial than the preservation of our planet and we are reminded with the energy of the fading Grand Trine in Earth signs how magnificent this world can be. Each flower, each butterfly holds the magic of all Creation within its precious form. My Meyers lemon tree is in full bloom and my daily meditations beside it are filled with an intoxicating fragrance. It is no coincidence that Earth Day is in April.
