To sleep, perchance to dream...and build!

Tough to get back on track after a move! Everything is displaced, including any semblance of routine. I've slept 12 hours each of the last two nights -- apparently readjusting. It's nice, even in the midst of chaos, to have a comfortable place to sleep.

John Michael Greer and Linda Costello will definitely be back on the show soon! I plan to have a series on Magick in January or February -- from Alchemy and Hermeticism, through Golden Dawn and its offshoots to Natural Magick. We'll have lots of different guests.

Several listeners have expressed a desire for the show to go two hours -- that would give us 5 segments for discussion and questions, one for sponsors & updates, and two for online readings showcasing local readers and psychics.

I want to be able to come up with various levels of sponsorship for individuals, non-profit organizations, and businesses, but I'm hoping we'll become so popular and drawing to listeners that I won't have to keep hawking it. I suppose that's fairly unrealistic, but our needs are much smaller than supporting a public TV or radio station, so hopefully I can draw a few loyal fans who would be willing to contribute on a regular basis, whether $5 a month or $200.

A thought would be to get non-profit status for Alysion Acres and to come under their umbrella so that I can receive donations. Alysion Acres is our new home (see www.alysion.org and the Alysion Acres link) and there is a major vision for it (a very doable vision, not just pie in the sky, thanks to the far-seeing owners) as well.

I think I've said before that it's tough being both the creative person and the sales person, especially when I'd rather just concentrate on the creative. (Wouldn't we all - LOL!) Depending on the specific hours, a two hour show once a week would cost $1600 - $2000 a month. I am not seeking profit from it -- simply to cover the expenses of the show.

So, if you know pagan or metaphysical businesses, or just pagan or metaphysical people with businesses who might be interested in advertising, please direct them to MindCast. I would like a mix of local and online advertisers since the show can be streamed anywhere via the Internet. I will get a page of advertising rates up in the next couple of days.

It's so easy to lay back and not sell, but I know better. Just as I started this venture, I got a horoscope from Rob Brezsny telling me that wild success could be mine this time around if I was willing to be a builder. If you're not familiar with Rob Brezsny, take an opportunity to look at his website at www.freewillastrology.com. His continuing wisdom has helped me be in the right mindset for success this time. And I see it happening in many ways already, and complete fulfillment on the horizon if I put aside typical Jade/Julian/Denise behaviors and truly become a builder.

Let's chronicle success!!!
