Live from the Morgan Stanley Global Consumer & Retail Conference, our analysts discuss how AI is reshaping the future of shopping in the U.S.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Michelle Weaver: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. We're coming to you live from Morgan Stanley's Global Consumer and Retail Conference in New York City, where we have more than 120 leading companies in attendance. Today's episode is the second part of our live discussion of the U.S. consumer and how AI is changing consumer companies. With me on stage, we have Arunima Sinha from the Global and U.S. Economics team, Simeon Guttman, our U.S. Hardlines, Broad Lines, and Food Retail Analyst, and Megan Clap, U.S. Food Producers and Leisure Analyst. It's Friday, December 5th at 10am in New York. So, Simeon, I want to start with you. You recently put out a piece assessing the AI race. Can you take us through how you're assessing current AI implementation? And can you give us some real-world examples of what it looks like when a company significantly integrates AI into their business? Simeon Gutman: Sure. So, the Consumer Discretionary and Staples teams went to each of their covered companies, and we started searching for what those companies have disclosed and communicated regarding their AI. In some cases, we used AI to do this search. But we created a search and created this universe of factors and different ways AI is being implemented. We didn't have a framework until we had the entire universe of all of these AI use cases. Once we did, then we were able to compartmentalize them. And the different groups; we came up with six groups that we were able to cluster. First, personalization and refined search; second, customer acquisition; third product innovation; fourth, labor productivity; fifth, supply chain and logistics. And lastly, inventory management. And using that framework, we were able to rank companies on a 1 to 10 scale. Across – that was the implementation part – across three different dimensions: breadth, how widely the AI is deployed across those categories; the depth, the quality, which we did our best to be able to interpret. And then the last one was proprietary initiatives. So, that's partnerships, could be with leading AI firms. So that helped us differentiate the leaders with others, not necessarily laggards, but those who were ahead of in the race. In some cases, companies that have communicated more would naturally scream more, so there is some potential bias in that. But otherwise, the fact pattern was objective. Walmart has full scale AI deployment. They're integrated across their business. They've introduced GenAI tools. That's like their Sparky shopping assistant. As well as integrated to in-store features. They talked about it. It's been driving a 25 percent increase in average shopper spend. They've recently partnered with OpenAI to enable ChatGPT powered Search and Checkout, positioning where the company, where the customer is shopping. They're also layering on augmented reality for holiday shopping, computer vision for shelf monitoring. LLMs for inventory replenishment. Autonomous lifts, the list goes on and on. But it covers all the functional categories in our framework. Michelle Weaver: And how about a couple examples of the ways companies are using these? Any interesting real world use cases you've seen so far? Simeon Gutman: So, one of them was in marketing personalization, as well as in product cataloging. That was one of the more sided themes at this conference. So, it was good timing. So, the idea is when product is staged on a company's website; I don't think we all appreciate how much time and many hours and people and resources it takes to get the correct information, to get the right pictures and to show all the assortment – those type of functions AI is helping enable. And it sounds like we're on the cusp of a step change in personalization. It sounds like AI, machine learning or algorithm driven suggestions to consumers. We didn't get practical use cases, but a lot of companies talked about the deployment of this into 2026, which sounds like it's something to look forward to. Michelle Weaver: And Megan, how would you describe AI adoption in your space in terms of innings and what kind of criteria are you using to assess the future for AI opportunity and potential? Megan Clapp: Yeah, I would say; I'd characterize adoption in the Food and broader Staples space today is still relatively early innings. I think most companies are still standing up the data infrastructure, experimenting with various tools. We're seeing companies pilot early use cases and start to talk about them, and that was evident in the work we did with the note that Simeon just talked about. And so, the opportunity, I think, going ahead, lies in kind of what we see in terms of scaling those pilots to become more impactful. And for Staples broadly, and Food, you know, ties into this. I think, these companies start with an advantage and that they sit on a tremendous amount of high frequency consumption data. So, the data availability is quite large. The question now is, you know, can these large organizations move with speed and translate that data into action? And that's something that we're focused on when we think about feasibility. I think we think about the opportunity for Food and Staples broadly as we'd put it into kind of two areas. One is what can they do on the top line? Marketing, innovation, R&D, kind of the lifeblood of CPG companies, and that's where we're seeing a lot of the early use cases. I think ultimately that will be the most important driver – driving top line, you know, tends to be the most important thing in most consumer companies. But then on the other side, there are a lot of cost efforts, supply chain savings, labor productivity. Those are honestly a bit easier to quantify. And we're seeing real tangible things come out of that. But overall I think the way we think about it is the large companies with scale and the ability to go after the opportunity because they have the scale and the balance sheet to do so – will be winners here, as well as the smaller, more nimble companies that, you know, can move a little bit faster. And so that's how we're thinking about the opportunity. Michelle Weaver: Can you give us also just a couple examples of AI adoption that's been successful that you've seen so far? Megan Clapp: Yeah, so on the top line side, like I said, kind of marketing innovation, R&D. One quick example on the Food side. Hershey, for example, they're using algorithms to reallocate advertising spend by zip code, based on the real time sell through. So, they can just be much more targeted and more efficient, honestly, with that advertising spend. I think from an innovation perspective too, these companies are able to identify on trend things faster and incorporate that and take the idea to shelf time down significantly. And then on the cost side, you know, General Mills is a company is actually relatively, far ahead, I'd say, in the AI adoption curve in Staples broadly. And what they've done is deployed what they call digital twins across their network, and it has improved forecast accuracy. They've taken their historical productivity savings from 4 percent annually to 5 percent. That's something that's structural. So, seeing real tangible benefits that are showing up in the PNL. And so, I think broadly the theme is these companies are using AI to make faster, and more precise decisions. And then I thought, I'd just mention on the leisure side, something that I felt was interesting that we learned from Shark Ninja yesterday at the conference is – when asked about the role of Agentic AI in future commerce, thinks it'll be huge was how he described; the CEO described it. And what they're doing actively right now is optimizing their D2C website for LLMs like ChatGPT and Gemini. And his point was that what drives conversion on D2C today may not ultimately be what ranks on AI driven search. But he said the expectation is that by Christmas of next year, commerce via these AI platforms will be meaningful; mentioned that OpenAI is already experimenting with curated product transactions. So, they're really focused on optimizing their portfolio. He thinks brands will win; but you have got to get ahead of it as well. Michelle Weaver: And that's great that you just brought up Agentic commerce. We've heard about it quite a bit over the past couple of days, Simeon. And I know you recently put out a big piece on this theme. Agentic commerce introduces a lot of possibility for incremental sales, but it also introduces the possibility for cannibalization. Where do you see this shaking out in your space? Are you really concerned about that cannibalization possibility? Simeon Gutman: Yeah, so the larger debate is a little bit of sales cannibalization and a potential bit of retail media cannibalization. So, your first point is Agentic theoretically opens up a bigger e-commerce penetration and just more commerce. And once you go to more e-commerce, that could be beneficial for some of these companies. We can also put the counter argument of when e-commerce came, direct-to-consumer type of selling could disintermediate the captive retailer sales again. Maybe, maybe not. Part of this answer is we created a framework to think about what retailers can protect themselves most from this. Two of them; two of the five I's are infrastructure and inventory. So, the more that your inventory is forward position, the more infrastructure you have; the AI and the agent will still prioritize that retailer within that network. That business will likely not go elsewhere. And that's our premise. Now, retail media is a different can of worms. We don't know what models are going to look like. How this interaction will take place? We don't know who controls the data. The transactions part of this conference is we were hearing, ‘Well, the retailers are going to control some of the data and the transaction.' Will consumers feel comfortable giving personal information, credit card to agents? I'm sure at some point we'll feel comfortable, but there are these inertia points and these are models that are getting worked out today. There's incentives for the hyperscalers to be part of this. There's incentive for the retailers to be part of it. But we ultimately don't know. What we do know is though forward position inventory is still going to win that agent's business if you need to get merchandise quickly, efficiently. And if it's a lot of merchandise at once. Think about the largest platforms that have been investing in long tail of product and speed to getting it to that consumer. Michelle Weaver: And Arunima, I want to bring this back to the macro as well. As AI adoption starts to ramp the labor market then starts to get called into question. Is this going to be automation or is it going to be augmentation as you see a ramp in AI adoption? So how are your expectations for AI being factored into your forecast and what are you expecting there? Arunima Sinha: There are two ways that we think about just sort of AI spending mattering for our growth forecasts. One part is literally the spend, the investment in the data centers and the chips and so on. And then the other is just the rise in productivity. So, does the labor or does the human capital become more productive? And if we sum both of those things together, we think that over 2026 – [20]27, they add anywhere between 40-45 basis points to growth. And just to put things in perspective, our GDP growth estimate for the end of this year in 2026 is 1.8 percent. For 2027, it's 2.0 percent. So, it's an important part of that process. In terms of the labor market itself, the work that you have led, as well as the work that we've been doing – which is this question about adoption at the macro level, that's still fairly low. We look at the census data that tracks larger companies or mid-size companies on a monthly basis to say, ‘How much did you use AI tools in the last couple of weeks.' And that's been slowly increasing, but it's still sort of in the mid-teens in terms of how many companies have been using as a percentage. And so, we think that adoption should continue to increase. And as that does, for now, we think it is going to be a compliment to labor. Although there are some cohorts within sort of demographic cohorts in terms of ages that are probably going to be disproportionately impacted, but we don't think that that's a sort of near term 2026 story.

The AI Breakdown: Daily Artificial Intelligence News and Discussions
Anthropic asked 1,250 professionals how AI is actually changing their work, and the results reveal a blend of optimism, anxiety, and shifting identity—creatives feeling squeezed, scientists wanting trustworthy partners, and most workers hoping to hand off routine tasks while keeping what defines their craft. The episode also looks at how AI-run interviews collapse the old scale-vs-context tradeoff in research and what that means for understanding real-world AI impact. Headlines include Gemini 3 Deep Think, Replit's enterprise push with Google, Opus 4.5's benchmark surge, Salesforce's Agent Force momentum, and Meta's pivot away from the metaverse.Brought to you by:KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.

Bitcoin's down, so the Lessins turned down the heat and pulled out their winter gear. The More or Less squad jumps from SF's drone-powered crime-fighting memes (Daniel Lurie's “no drugs” moment) to how creator-content strategy now drives real deal flow. Jess says 2026 will split the AI tide (we unfortunately did have to touch on AI), with Meta's missing enterprise story dragging its CapEx dreams, while AWS is suddenly courting founders again.

Media expert Stuart Brotman joins the program for an eye-opening conversation about the growing crisis of censorship and control in America. As an advisor to four U.S. presidents and one of the nation's leading authorities on media law and free expression, Brotman brings a unique and deeply informed perspective on how our digital environment is being shaped behind the scenes.Together, we dive into Section 230, the shifting legal landscape, and how the justice system is struggling to catch up with the power of today's tech giants. We confront the real-world consequences of these failures, including my own case: a smear campaign and explicit, defamatory associations that appeared on the front page of Google Search—damaging not only to me as a journalist, but to every American who depends on a fair and safe information ecosystem.This conversation is a clear warning: what happened to me can happen to anyone, and the public deserves transparency, accountability, and the right to their own reputation.To go deeper into these issues, you can purchase Stuart Brotman's groundbreaking new book here: https://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/9781510786752/free-expression-under-fire/See exclusives and more at https://SarahWestall.Substack.com

! JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN for this & more Astro News You Can Use! @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking which drops today, December 5!When a full Moon occurs, the Moon reflects the light of the Sun back onto itself, thus revealing its shadow side which the Moon then implores the Sun to release. In this case, the Jupiter-ruled Sun's shadow often includes the tendency toward hubris, or arrogance. And, since Jupiter often represents the “king,” “ruler,” or “leader,” while the Moon often rules “the people,” it's easy to put this into a current context in the U.S. as its president tries to gerrymander his way to hubristically maintain future control over those living here.Yesterday, as the Gemini Full Moon perfected at 13'04” Gemini at 3:14 p.m. PT & 6:14 p.m. ET on December 4, the Supreme Court announced its decision to let stand the Texas state gerrymander that would give its GOP five more U.S. House Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections.What's interesting about this particular Gemini Full Moon is that its squares the transiting mean nodal axis's Virgo South Node & Pisces North Node—which urges us to move way from trying to control everyone & everything & to let go & let it flow.The tension of this Gemini Full Moon thus creates a mutable grand cross, denoting a shift in the karmic axis as the heart (Moon) & the mind (Sun) cry out for integration. This combines with Mars in Sagittarius's approaching square to Saturn in Pisces, which perfects December 8, & portends a period of irritability & frustration, & cautions us to work concentratedly & carefully rather than succumbing to despair. While grand water trine formed between Mercury in Scorpio, Jupiter in Cancer, & Saturn & Neptune in Pisces at this Gemini Full Moon is touted as a way to get more deeply in touch with our feelings, it can also blind us to the emotional plight of others. That's because a grand water trine is subjective rather than objective. And as such, it can cause us to feel sorrier for ourselves than for others. However, awareness of this tendency now can save us from becoming emotionally immune to suffering of others.I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW AS NEPTUNE STATIONS DIRECT IN PISCESThe latter is potentially more true than the former, given that Neptune--the planet of illusion, confusion, & delusion—which entered Aries on March 30 of this year, then stationed retrograde at 2'10” Aries on July 7, then moved back into 29-degrees of PI on October 22--is about to station direct @ 29'22” Pisces on December 10.It's during this retrograde period that “the powerful empathy between oneself & those who are helpless is a mirror of one's own inner helplessness,” explains Jungian astrologer Erin Sullivan in her book “Retrograde Planets, Traversing the Inner Landscape.”In other words “one really hopes in the process of helping others to help oneself,” Sullivan explains. To me, there is a strong element of “there, but for the grace of god, go I,” as well as the oft quoted proverb to “walk a mile in someone else's shoes before judging them” in Sullivan's explanation of the Neptune retrograde period.And, when we take into consideration the time span of NE's Rx period-- which was accompanied fairly closely with SA's station Rx on July 13 @ 1'56” Aries & his subsequent station direct at 25'09” PI on November 27—during which the two remained in fairly close transit--we can see even more clearly now in retrospect the dissolution of boundaries between the ego & the unconscious--in each of us individually as well as within the greater collective.All we need do, at least here in America, is remember how this period led to the passage in the U.S. Congress of Trump's touted “big beautiful bill” signed into law on July 4. And how--in addition to adding to the continued future financial inequality of Americans (by virtue of huge tax cuts for the rich)--resulted also in the huge increase in funding for the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration & Customs Enforcement. Because during its retrograde Neptune backtracks over potentially sensitive degrees, we might note now that this is what happened since Neptune crossed the the U.S. Sibly July 4, 1776, natal chart's IC & 4th House cusp at 1'03” Aries twice so far. Once direct, Neptune will hit this degree again circa January 28, 2026.In psychological astrology, Neptune in or ruling the 4th House (meaning Pisces is on its cusp) denotes what Jungian astrologer Liz Greene calls a ”weak father.” Given that we're looking at the chart of the birth of America, as Monty Python would say “say no more…” if you catch my drift & recognize that a president is known as “the father his country.”Saturn will reenter Aries on February 13 & conjoin with Neptune exact @0'45” Aries on February 20 at 11:53 a.m. ET.

On this weeks' episode of Cosmic Cousins, Jeff Hinshaw first guides you through a deep dive exploration of the current transits connected to this Gemini Full Moon. Then, Jeff is joined by one of his cosmic siblings, the incredibly talented Gemini, Mary Evans of Spirit Speak. Together, they flutter into the mutable magic of Gemini through storytelling, curiosity, and duality. Mary and Jeff explore Gemini archetypes across astrology, popular culture, and personal experience, including butterfly symbolism inspired by Dolly Parton's “Love Is Like a Butterfly.” The conversation also delves into personal and spiritual experiences, from Mary's childhood encounters with death and spirit guides to reflections on how these formative experiences shape creativity, art-making, deck creation, and teaching. Mary is the founder of Spirit Speak Tarot, and the creator of six tarot and oracle decks, so naturally the conversation also explores tarot and divination. This includes Temperance and the Lovers, reflecting Gemini's adaptability, duality, and relational dynamics. She also discusses her work with children and adults through school programs, art workshops, and community-based “Witch Craft" arts and crafts nights, highlighting the spiritual and creative development fostered through art. And towards the end of their conversation, we listen to the song "Oh My God" by Gemini Ryan Allen Gray's, providing a lens on Gemini themes of queerness, religious trauma and integration of self. Listener questions spark final discussions on fashion as archetypal expression, navigating 2025 as a Hermit Year, and twin/soul-sibling dynamics. Recorded for the Gemini Full Moon, this episode is a playful and illuminating journey through mutable skies, offering insight, inspiration, and guidance for creating in a world of multiplicity. __________________________________________________ The Online Fools Tarot Journey 6-Month Ritual Immersion through the Major Arcana The next evolution of the Online Fools Tarot Journey — a six-month ritual immersion into the living wisdom of the Major Arcana — has arrived! For years, this pilgrimage has unfolded as an intimate passage through the 22 archetypes, guiding seekers into embodied relationship with the tarot's deepest teachings. This year marks a powerful turning point: for the first time ever, participants are invited to step not only into the role of seeker, but also into the role of facilitator and practitioner. This expansion represents a widening of our circle, a passing of the flame, and an opportunity to carry this sacred storytelling lineage into your own communities. Whether you've walked the Fool's path before or you're stepping into it for the very first time, you are warmly invited to apprentice yourself to mystery in a whole new way. I'm honored to be joined by two extraordinary guest co-facilitators — Lindsay Mack of Tarot for the Wild Soul and Mary Evans of Spirit Speak Tarot — who will support and enrich this year's journey with their unique perspectives and magic. The journey begins in January of 2026! Cosmic Cousins Links Cosmic Cousins Memberships Intro & Outro Music by: Felix III Mentorship Deep Dive Astrology Readings Tarot Soul Journey

Thinking of building your own AI security tool? In this episode, Santiago Castiñeira, CTO of Maze, breaks down the realities of the "Build vs. Buy" debate for AI-first vulnerability management.While building a prototype script is easy, scaling it into a maintainable, audit-proof system is a massive undertaking requiring specialized skills often missing in security teams. The "RAG drug" relies too heavily on Retrieval-Augmented Generation for precise technical data like version numbers, which often fails .The conversation gets into the architecture required for a true AI-first system, moving beyond simple chatbots to complex multi-agent workflows that can reason about context and risk . We also cover the critical importance of rigorous "evals" over "vibe checks" to ensure AI reliability, the hidden costs of LLM inference at scale, and why well-crafted agents might soon be indistinguishable from super-intelligence .Guest Socials - Santiago's LinkedinPodcast Twitter - @CloudSecPod If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube- Cloud Security Newsletter If you are interested in AI Cybersecurity, you can check out our sister podcast - AI Security PodcastQuestions asked:(00:00) Introduction(02:00) Who is Santiago Castiñeira?(02:40) What is "AI-First" Vulnerability Management?

Happy Gemini New Moon witches and happy year end wrap up! You guys had some awesome questions, but we also got a taste of Scorpio's feeling about Frankenstein and Gemini's feelings about tea service. There's a little bit for everyone, so dive in you the penultimate episode of season 7!

Meditation Jam with Maria Rinné, transformational energy meditations, travel tips and life!
This journey takes a powerful and unexpected turn as we join forces to welcome a new, higher frequency—one that invites us to deepen our commitment to our inner path. The Gemini Super Full Moon encourages us to envision our lives through the lenses of love, peace, and our highest light, allowing us to naturally become beacons of illumination for others. As we anchor this energy, we also ground a clear sense of direction into our days and our lives. This frequency asks not only to be felt in meditation, but to be woven into the fabric of our daily lives. In these channelled meditations, I connect with different energies to guide you beyond your old beliefs and history. To connect you to your inner wisdom, intuition, and life force through a relaxing journey. Please remember the energy is timeless and finds you where you are right now on your path. This was recorded at a live online group meditation on Insight Timer – Thank you all who showed up with your energy and time! Embrace the change, embrace your purpose.

ChatGPT is facing scrutiny ("under the gun") following recent developments, though the episode notes indicate a general lack of excitement over Thanksgiving updates like Kling 01 and Runway gen 4.5.The future of coding is seen as mostly AI-driven, with a mention of Mark Zuckerberg's prediction that all coding will be done by AI within 18 months.Major business developments include a partnership between Suno and Warner Music Group, and the expected roll-out of ads in ChatGPT responses by OpenAI.The financial relationship between OpenAI and Nvidia remains undefined, with the Nvidia CFO noting no definitive agreement, supporting the podcast's long-held view that many agreements are non-concrete and OpenAI's profits may be lower than perceived.A strong debate exists regarding the monetization and competition in the AI space, with arguments suggesting that Google's strategy with Gemini (potentially running ad-free and leveraging its search monetization) could force competitors to operate at a loss until they bleed out, giving Google a nearly unfair market advantage.@maxescu@slow_developer@Ross__Hendricks@signulll
This horoscope is for the full moon in Gemini, which happens on Thursday, December 4, 2025 at 6:14 p.m. ET.Check out my new course or book a reading with me on my website at etherealastrology.com.We have recently gotten some clarity in order to fix some long-standing issues with relationships and money that have been holding us back for quite some time — and to integrate them into a new experience of life.This is a very good thing, that has initiated some important conversations and adjustments.However, at this full moon in Gemini, we are all of a sudden feeling stuck and confused when it comes to resolving these issues with relationships and money, and unable to move forward into a better experience.I believe we are feeling stuck and confused NOT because we are actually stuck or confused. Instead, I believe we are stuck simply because we are hesitating to do the things we know will work to resolve these old situations, and are resisting going all in on enacting the solution.We are not fully having all the conversations we need (even if they are hard), putting in the dirty work to make these changes, and planning accordingly. We ALSO are not fully making the decisions we need to leave the past behind, trusting our intuition, and being kind to ourselves in the process.Instead, we are zoning out, wishing our problems away, and trying to focus instead on whatever the next thing is that is fun or exciting.That, in turn, is making our situation worse because nothing is getting resolved, and adding more anger and frustration.The reason why we are hesitating to follow through and finish these issues with relationships and money is NOT because we are lazy. Instead, it is because we are traumatized from the past few years in which having important conversations and putting in a lot of work backfired, and took us further away from our intended goals.As a result, we are going to have to learn at this full moon in Gemini, to consciously choose to finish resolving these old issues with relationships and money by having the hard conversations, putting in the hard work, thinking more things through, making some hard decisions, trusting our intuition, and being kind to ourselves.It may not be easy (and it may require some inner healing in order to do it). However, if we do, these old issues will resolve themselves completely, and we will feel way more excited and at ease. We will also feel more able to pursue new and exciting things that we are more passionate about in a way that will actually work this time.Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬(0:00) Introduction(02:05) General Themes(10:30) Past Context(29:30) Specifics(55:30) Summary(59:30) Other Notes(1:42:15) Inside Degrees(1:53:50) TarotI am using The Practical Tarot by Lisa Kessler.Follow me on Instagram:http://www.instagram.com/ethereal_astrologyWatch me daily on Horoscope.com:https://www.horoscope.com/us/horoscopes/general/horoscope-overview-daily-today.aspx Hosted on Acast.

Show Yourself to Me - A Fresh Prayer O great beings, source of life-infusing All of creation, I offer my hands to you this day so that I may assist in the great turning. May I discover the most abundant and gorgeous way to share the gifts I carry. I offer my heart to you this day.You, who are earth, air, fire, water, crystal, stone, gold, salt, and stardust bone. May I be in devotion to the emergent creation story that is the most generous in these times. These times are crossroad times when those of us who are called to guide the revolution are on our knees harvesting the seeds for the futureraising up our faces in prayer to the clearing in the sky. I offer my mind, my conscious, co-creative energies of thought and shape and form to collaborate with the flow of life force, gracefully moving through every single particle and wave that is waving at us. Oh, hello, I'm waving back! Since the great Cosmic Orgasm started,the great turning, the stardust and light has been moving into the shape that we are, here and now, into the shape of this temple body itself. My cooling sack of stars, my cosmic address, my coordinates and space, time and place, inhabited by a personality that was shaped by stories I didn't even know I was choosing.But now I choose. Now I choose my mystic path. Won't you come along with me? No qualifications are needed. No permissions will be granted. Ritual under the moon will ensue and be so much better with you. May I now, this moment, step into the identity which is truly me.Oh, that Highest Soul Self seeming sometimes so out of reach. I'm ready for you to move through me now in liberating self-expression and the ecstatic dance of being in a body with an infinite soul. Oh baby, oh the irony. How it feels to be in matter and know I am energy. The stardust lineage moves through mecalling on the presence of true and chosen family. Ancestral streams of coded light pouring through me, creating healing patterns of sacred wealth and sacred health. Oh, intentional chemistry, chosen destiny. Oh, the possibilities. Oh, the power of intentional creativity. Oh, great beings, show yourself to me. With loveShiloh SophiaWell, everyone, this is my P.S. Consider this my updated prayer status.In 2026, I am opening my mystery school called The Stardust Lineage. Enrollment in two different ways to play is opening soon. I'm offering this focus for my year onto the altar of creation with reverence for the sacredness of all of life here at the foot of Sonoma Mountain in the Valley of the Moon.In one of our offerings, our year-long painting pilgrimage, we paint and write poetry. I used to write every morning, and today I am returning to starting my day with language and image instead of emails. Truth, though. I do start my day by putting on my fuzzy pajamas, going outside to see the stars, the moon, the sunrise.So often here, the sun and the moon are in the sky at the same time. I don't know if it's like that everywhere, but it is here. On the night that I was born in 1970, the sun and the moon were in the sky. It was a full moon, not so different than this one, this Gemini moon.Today, the glorious Gemini full moon shined back at me, winking from her Milky Way majesty. She told me, it is time to pray, and I started laughing, and this is that prayer.If you happen to be in Sonoma or near, we have Cura Council circle on the first Thursday of every month at MUSEA Center. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cura-sonoma-womens-circle-tickets-354362235987Please also plan for the Cura Council on 12/21 !

Discover if AI valuations have peaked. Are you on track for financial freedom...or not? Financial freedom is a combination of money, compounding and time (my McT Formula). How well you invest can make the biggest difference to your financial freedom and lifestyle.
