I was thinking today how difficult this Saturn/Pluto transit is for us Capricorn types in that Saturn is always telling us we aren't good enough and haven't succeeded enough and need to do MORE. Then I thought of Randall the Capricorn who runs Lindaland.

Randall, you are the greatest success I have known in this lifetime. I mean, Oprah might beat you, Martin Luther King Jr, Gandhi, Mother Theresa etc might beat you, but I have never personally connected with these people. In my lifetime of knowing and connecting to people, you are the greatest success I have known.

I mean, how many people's lives have changed from being here at Lindaland thanks to you??? How many people have you given an opportunity to learn and grow? How many people have you given an opportunity to share wisdom and caring with others? How many people have made friendships and connections here? How many lonely people at the end of their rope have found solace and comfort here? How many people have found inspiration or information here and took it into their lives and made a difference in the lives of humans who aren't here? How many people found a song or article that lifted their mood or their day and continues to touch them though they may never visit LL again? How many people have formed lasting bonds with people they have met here over the years, whether they continue to post here or not? How many people learned so much here they used that wisdom in their outside lives? How many people did this place you lovingly nurtured help, and in turn how many did they help??

You are the greatest human success story I've personally known, Randall. I am honored to know you. I express my thanks deeply and truly. My hope for this thread is that others feel inspired to share their stories of how LL has helped them personally, and how LL has helped them help others in their worlds. Love to you and to Lindaland.

Thank you for your kind words. I feel honored. I think you give me far too much credit. I am hoping to help many people in the future who otherwise would not have access to legal counsel due to monetary constraints, which will make me the poorest lawyer in the country, or the richest, depending on how one measures success. I choose the latter scale--the scale of justice.

That was beautifully written, MM. And it was very touching. Us Cappies struggle with accepting compliments. We never feel worthy.

I know. I'm Cap moon and rising. I am surprised more people didn't have something to add to this thread. A little disappointed. It seems a lot quieter here these days.

Thanks, Ayelet! MM, most of the Knowflakes don't stray from Astrology 2.0 very often. I could move this thread over there.

Thank you for providing us this unique space and community Randall.

I don't check this section very often personally. Might apply to some others as well?

I would like it if you moved it. I was hoping to get to know the current members more. This place has always had a powerful energy that brings me back to the time when I first discovered Linda Goodman and her book, "Love Signs". Reading that book opened my mind and heart to astrology and a new understanding of how much could be gleaned about the personalities of the people in my world just from knowing their sun sign. I followed into understanding moon and ascendant and then found Lindaland since you've always paid to keep this site at the top of search engines. Then I started reading and learning more here.
I was home a lot on the computer when my daughter was a toddler (she's a junior in high school now) and LL was a True Community of like minded souls and seekers like myself. It was a place to share my poetry and my thoughts on so many subjects that were considered strange to my friends, family, and cohorts in the Midwestern area where I lived. It was an excellent place to learn beginning and advanced astrology and there were people at all learning levels. I'm not a huge Harry Potter fan, great books and movies but I only read a couple and watched most of them once,but it just came to my mind that it was a "Hogwarts" of sorts.
There were so many opportunities to connect and learn from people/students of all types and different levels. It was a place we could all be both student and teacher. I gained so much through those exchanges and met lifelong friends. My mind was opened to new ideas and I was given a platform to share information and insights I had learned through my personal studies as well.
The friendships were at a greater depth than I often had the chance to create in the mundane world. LL has always been a magical place for me. So many interesting and artistic free thinkers sharing ideas and great links to the best articles and introducing me to great thinkers of past generations etc. It was better than college because it was a free magical astrology/spirituality college.
I guess that's long enough for now but there's more.
I'm glad to be home.

That's very honorable, Randall. The Universe would support you doing that.

I have expressed sincere authentic appreciation at various times, on several threads.

I'm sure too that folks can 'see' the title to this when they check for LL activity of the day.

Let people come to express 'authentically'-- otherwise, it "feels" kind of manipulative?

Randall-- YOU KNOW, (with all my heart), very very much, THAT YOU ARE Appreciated. After a while of being here, and "realizing" what we have-- without membership fees and paywalls-- I think people would respond.

Some of the newbies here don't realize the Value.
Give them time to 'grow-up' at Lindaland for a while.

You Are Blessed!! Randall.
Not everyone is taught or has grown-up to be in gratitude.

Some folks have no idea 'what' it takes to run a successful website. woot woot!!

I think that the 'conduct' of members has an important Value too, towards creating a kind of safe and inclusive atmosphere.

Mystic~Melody!!!
I have figured out--
You have many 'open' accounts here at LL. At first I was soooo confused. I thought someone had grabbed your 'unique' name!

Thank you for the lovely words, not just here, but in other forums.

Nice to see an other Beautiful and Mystical 'incarnation' appear.

You usually have done threads over in Soul Unions forum.

Your 'name' there is "Healing Mystic Melody"?

Under the 'name' "Mystic Melody" in that thread, you started a topic "Lindaland and I have a Soul Connection for sure".

I participated by adding URLs/LINKS to various forums where people have discussed 'Lindaland' and themselves, especially related to her astrology.

So good to see you MM. How are you and your flower doing?

You touched so many chords in my heart sharing the memories of ll and our friendss and soul journies here.
I celebrate Randall and the gift of this site that has touched my life in so many ways .
I miss you.

Mirage, yes, all me. I switch devices and lose access and Randall patiently and kindly allows me to reincarnate. haha I guess some people could see it as manipulative to offer a place to share thoughts on LL and R but I just felt compelled by my heart and soul. I'm just grateful. I guess I thought others would jump right in and agree. Maybe that's bad? It wasn't set out to be. Just wanted to share an abundance of love and appreciation that was flowing from my heart at the time. And I do think it is quiet around here, in comparison to what it used to be when I was highly active.

Juni, I have always loved your words and thoughts. Maybe that's why I love LL so much. I don't get to connect with people's words and thoughts as much in Real Life unless it is truly a deep relationship or almost partnership. Here I am able to see into the thoughts of good humans and deep thinkers. To me, that's magic. And I have spent a lifetime searching for it and trying to discover it or dig for it in my world... and other than my two loves (hubby and flower) it has been mostly (not all but mostly) a waste of time. LL really is THAT to me. And coming home and reading so many interesting posts brought that all back for me. Then I realized how none of it would be this way if it weren't for Randall and it just burst out.

Oh well.

Gotta be me

I had also been thinking of how I could be of assistance in this world. Hubby has told me I could volunteer and don't need to work for money and I've been thinking of where and how I could share whatever I have to give. People here used to tell me they got a little lift from words from time to time and I was thinking that I had received so much from this place, it might be a good place to spend a little time explaining all of the things I had learned over the decades of studying astrology. I often needed questions answered here and people with the answers gave them freely much of the time. I thought I could offer a little payback. Sometimes people don't have the money to consult a "professional" and I've come to see over the years that people with less knowledge than myself had created little businesses and were charging for their work. Even those astrologers I valued and admired didn't have many more answers than I had regarding charts and interpretations.

So I thought I could be of some assistance in offering another set of eyes to those who were looking for that input. I thought that would be a good use of my time, plus due to the magic of LL, it would benefit me as always. That's when I thought of how much that Pay It Forward type of mentality was in Divine Action here at LL and it all started with Randall. Then I started thinking of how much his actions and choices actually put so much into action and the butterfly effect was pretty astounding when I considered it.

Then I had to share those thoughts and the feelings it invoked in me. It was awe. And I know I have done some good in this world, but I often forget. But good spreads. And I wanted Randall to know I SEE how far reaching his choice to create and maintain this little space has been. It is truly mind boggling.

I guess I kinda thought people would say, "Oh, I've thought of that a lot and we have discussed that before" and some would say, "Wow, I never thought of it that way but yes, that is so true!" And I thought for sure at least ten people would say, "Yes, thank goodness he started this place because it is a blessing to me too!"

Aww, thanks for the warm fuzzies, Randall. You have always been so kind to me. And now you've pursued a high education level in our world and have the ability to assist others in a very down to earth concrete way. You truly are an amazing human.

I've met a lot of people in my life. Some are the sort who would like to make the world a better place and try their best. Many are the sort who think that's silly and just try to get by and get what they can from life.

I'm always warmed by those who want to offer their talents and abilities and means to cleaning up their little corner or those who try to add a little sunshine as far as their human and spiritual arms can reach. I am always inspired by those who keep trying and keep moving forward.

Martin Luther King Jr said, if you can't run, then walk, if you can't walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward!

Remembering this has kept me alive.

And Randall's original Lindaland post: http://www.sapphyr.net/largegems/littlesoul-thesun.htm

Thank God for all of you angels.

I am so delighted to hear you found that special someone to walk it with you.

Juni,

Oh yes. You were all my partner. All the growing and learning then reaped such rewards in my mind, heart, and soul and benefited me in my first years dealing with the tough stuff with my best friend and partner. Though he was my best friend in real life, we had never had many of the conversation and depth of conversation that I had with friends here at LL. I used the insights I learned to be a better partner for him in the beginning and to help him find God/enlightenment.

Then I did so much learning and growing on an even deeper level with my partner and now I have something to give back here. I hope we all have many more amazing experiences together.

Mystic~Melody!.. Thanks so much for introducing your self (and LOL) your many identities. You know, it makes GOOD Sense!!

Thanks for your kind comments, not just here, but in other threads.

I sometimes need to pop in then out of LL, because I live in an environment that is particularly harsh (.. living in apartment with thin walls, and neighbors with abusive audio; from early-morning till midnight many times-- gamer's there all day long; they seem to have two stations, front and back; sometimes just hard music-beats-- Landlord told them to hold it down, but they sneak it back UP, and I feel helpless about it).
.. Gives me a horrible chronic headache..
Since Thanksgiving 2019, I've started losing optics (eyesight) at times here-- I show up at LL and try to post while typing with peripheral vision -- checkerboards and rainbow-designs interfere with seeing/reading for a while. (migraine). I do my best.

My head is pretty "raw" right now... One of those 'optical' migraines finally ceased. I hate to be away from LL too long, without an appearance, and, trying to answer posts. Unfortunately, I am under the 'schedules' of neighbors and what they choose to 'do' on any particular day.

I'm stopping in to say Thank you so much for coming BACK to LL after a prolonged absence. You have nice energies!

I liked the website of inspirational sayings.
This one is nice...
"The Touch of The Master's Hand"
- http://www.sapphyr.net/largegems/master.htm

Here's another Mr. Roger's song..
I LOVE the version that this guitarist performs.

(music) It's You I Like (Fred Rogers, perf by Dan Heidt, acoustic guitar) [2:06] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5kSDN03qmE

____
by the way,
remove the 's' from http,
and the urls will be clickable from LL.
Some folks know how to hyperlink the https, so it clicks-- otherwise, it needs to be manually done by deleting 's'.

Mirage, that is so challenging. I would have similar issues with that kind of environment. I lived in a trailer when my daughter was young because I prefer my own space to the noise and overlapping energies of an apartment. So much stigma to trailers but having a tiny yard to plant things and no one on the other side of my walls was much more important to me. I pray you find your peaceful place.

Juni! I’m here. I take a day off from time to time but I visit Astrology 2.0 and Soul Unions at least every few days
