1. Go online and, using image search, find the images that you’re after. If you’re clever enough, photoshop your face over the model’s, creating an instant “future” photograph.

2. Using these online images – photoshopped or not – make your own computerized collage. Put it on a slide show, or a powerpoint presentation that can run when you turn the computer on, or link it to an icon on your bottom task bar. Or turn it into a screensaver.

3. Print out the images, create a collage in the traditional cork-board way. Click here to read the full story.

1. You take responsibility for your own circumstances. No blaming ANYONE else.   I operate on a primary rule, that where it hurts, it needs to heal. More on that later.
2. You absolutely need to search for answers to life’s BIG questions. I can help you with that, getting you started and suggesting where you might direct your searching. BUT I won’t give you answers that I expect you to believe. Use my comments in this area as a launching pad for your own explorations.
3. You MUST be your own best friend. You begin life alone, and you finish it alone. In between, you’re the ONLY person who you know for sure will always be there.  Don’t travel through life with your worst enemy.
4. Learn to expand your awareness so that you begin to see or hear clues all around you – starting particularly with what you are sending out into the world.

Marlowe Aster wears masks too - we all do.

• I’ve got it all together, so I don’t need your help, thank you. It’s all under control. Yes, I can manage. I’ve got it under control.

(Jeez, if you only knew how madly I’m trying to cope to make this look effortless. That calm duck paddling madly under the water is what I feel like everyday.)

Chill out. I reserve the right to not have it all together from time to time. I reserve the freedom to sometimes let others know that they can help out. I reserve the right to ask for assistance in getting things done, simply because I have too much on my plate.

• I don’t need anyone, because others just don’t do things the way I want them done, and they’re unreliable anyway. People always let you down one way or another, so you might as well just rely on yourself.

(Jeez, if you only knew how lonely it gets sometimes)

Chill out. I reserve the right to learn how other people go about doing things. I reserve the right to be pleasantly surprised that others do uphold their end of an agreement. I allow others to have different values and priorities to me. Click here to read the full story.
