Are You Ready For The April Pink Full Moon 11 April 2017 - Duration: 5:01.

Are You Ready For The April Pink Full Moon 11 April 2017

By consciousreminder

This month�s full moon, known as the pink moon, will not be as spectacular as the prior

super-moon.

In fact, it�s just the opposite.

This time around, the moon will be furthest from the earth, making the moon appear much

smaller.

Why is it called a pink moon?

Why of course it�s spring!

The name �pink moon� is a native name, derived from the early pink blooms of phlox.

Other names for the april full moon include egg moon and sprouting grass moon.

Does the moon actually appear pink?

Not really, same as a blue moon isn�t really blue.

Is the moon masculine or feminine?

Language has developed with assignment of gender to objects.

The German language, and even the ancient Sanskrit language associate the sun with feminine,

and the moon with masculine.

But english sways toward the french interpretation, stating the moon is feminine, while the sun

is masculine.

The french interpretation does seem to make more sense, with the moon associated to cycles.

The cloaking of the moon by moon phases and eclipses also ties in to mystical, inward,

and intuitive meaning.

A moon is a moon, but like any other object in (or near) this world, people have studied

and analyzed, and assigned symbolic meaning to the moon.

Here are some of the symbolic meanings associated with the moon:

Cycles: birth through death (waxing and waning) Immortality

Reflection Symbol of the soul (astrology)

Man�s ability to adapt (horoscope) Inner intuitive self

Yin side of Yin and Yang (relationship) Time �for days, and years� (Bible)

Full Pink moon and intuitive meaning

You can look at most everything around you and find some level of intuitive meaning.

Today let�s delve into the intuitive meaning of a full pink moon.

These ideas are all thoughts that you can use in meditation, or for personal acknowledgement

of your accomplishments.

Give attention to both your �full moon� moments, when you are bright and shining,

and also the many phases that lead to and follow your full moon moments.

Not every day (or night) is bright and shiny.

Some accomplishments are simple, quiet, and may go unnoticed.

Routine may seem boring, but each step can be an important step in achieving success.

Celebrate it all, both your full moon moments and all the steps you�ve taken to support

who you are today.

Focus on the silence, the night, and the time you are given to rejuvenate.

We know the importance of sleep.

What about rejuvenation during your waking hours.

How do you give rest and replenishing for the body, emotion, mind, and spirit?

Give each of these levels a gift of awareness and appreciation.

�Here, this is for you.

Thank you, I love you.� Remember that the moon cycle is the most natural

symbol of the passage of time.

We are blessed with our ability to remember and ability to plan for the future.

Take a moment to recall your focus back to the present moment.

You can add a blessing as you regroup your attention and energy: �I give thanks for

every moment, and dedicate my soul to making every moment count�.

What Effect Will the Pink Full Moon Have on Me?

I think you are in for a treat as there are many exciting things in the sky.

Some astrologers have called this April Full Moon �Lady Luck� as she�s near Jupiter,

so unexpected good fortune might come your way.

There is something to always consider when you�re looking at a Full Moon � you shall

reap what you sow.

This means that if you have been working hard and laying down good foundations, you will

be successful.

A positive way to look at this is that we still have a week to go, so there is time

to do some clean-up work in your life � if that�s what you have to do.

Hey, Chip.

Have you seen Ben?

No.

I've been enjoying the freedom not having the pepper grinder

affords me.

Right.

Yeah.

He may have gotten lost.

You mean you lost him?

I don't know.

He got off his leash.

You tied him to a leash?

What is this, Florida?

I had to go out for a few hours.

What was I supposed to do, leave him with Jimmy?

Definitely not.

Will you help me find him?

Look, this whole pepper grinder thing is insane.

It's a second rate seasoning at best,

and you guys are acting like it's King Arthur's sword.

That being said, I really don't like the thought of Jimmy

having it.

The guy bugs me.

[groaning] Fine.

49-years ago --- Dr. Martin

Luther King Junior was

assassinated.

Today -- a memorial service was

held for the civil rights

leader in the Mahoning

County Courthouse. It was

sponsored by the Baptist Pastors

Council of Youngstown. The

service focused on Dr. King's

true

mission of non-violence and

lifting up the spirituality of

humanity.

And that something which happens

to one of us, happens to all of

us. [C11]20170404 MLK ANNIV-SV

21:37 :12 YES, WE'RE STILL

TRYING TO CATCH

UP WITH THAT. THAT WHAT HAPPENS

IN VIETNAM, WHAT

HAPPENS IN SYRIA, WHAT HAPPENS

IN CHICAGO, HAPPENS TO EVERY

BODY

AND WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE TO

FIX IT.

One year before his death,

Martin Luther King Junior gave

a speech denouncing

the Vietnam War. He also made a

connection between

Youngstown preschool program floored by donation for teachers - Duration: 2:04.

FOUND OUT LATE YESTERDAY THAT

THERE WAS GOING TO BE SURPRISE,

SOMETHING MORE THAN THAT, AND

ALMOST FELL OFF MY SEAT, I

THOUGHT IT WAS CHRISTMAS IN

APRIL.

A BIG investment benefiting pint

sized learners.

PNC Bank announced new plans to

help Head Start Programs in the

Valley.

The bank knows how important

early education is. Teachers

spend a lot of their own money

on students.

Today, the bank announced it's

picking up some of the tab to

help teachers and

students.

27 First news weekend anchor,

Julie Bercik, picks up the

story from here.

It's brand new at six. [D4]27VR2

NEW AT 6 V2-SG

[D5]20170404 GREAT DAY LL27-PK

A MAJOR COMMITMENT AND DONATION

TO EDUCATION FROM

PNC. IT'S INVESTING FIVE MILLION

DOLLARS IN EARLY CHILDHOOD

EDUCATION, AND THAT MONEY IS

GOING TO BENEFIT PROGRAMS LIKE

ALTA HEAD START HERE IN

YOUNGSTOWN.

It's story time at this Alta

Head Start Classroom.

These students will benefit from

a HUGE financial investment from

PNC Bank.

It's giving donors choose dot

org a five million dollar

donation to to fund classroom

projects in areas there is a PNC

Bank. It's also going to match

each donation

dollar for dollar. Donors

Choose is a non profit for

educators. Teachers can make a

wish list of resources they'd

like in their class, and people

can help fund it. More than

14-thousand PNC

employees have 50-dollar gift

cards for donors choose to help

fund projects.

Locally that adds up to around

7-thousand dollars.

Eight Alta Head Start teachers

are also getting 500 dollar gift

cards to donors

choose.

WHAT THAT IS GOING TO DO IS

ALLOW TEACHERS TO GO ONLINE,

SUBMIT A PROJECT AND ACTUALLY

FUND IT THEMSELVES, AND

IF YOU CONSIDER THE PNC MATCH

THAT IS AVAILABLE, THAT'S A

TOTAL OF

8-THOUSAND DOLLARS THAT WE'RE

GOING TO PUT INTO THE

COMMUNITY TODAY.

WE HAVE A DEDICATED, CREATIVE

BUNCH OF TEACHERS, AND

THIS WILL ALLOW THEM TO THINK

OUT OF THE BOX THAT THEY

NORMALLY DO AND GO OUT AND GET

SOME THINGS THAT THEY THOUGHT,

WOW, THIS WOULD BE COOL TO DO IF

ONLY WE HAD MONEY TO DO IT,

AND I DON'T HAVE $500 LEFT TO GO

DO IT ON MY OWN.

ON TOP OF TODAY'S DONATION, PNC

BROUGHT SOME BOOKS, THIS ONE

ACTUALLY MAKES SOME NOISES TO GO

ALONG WITH IT, AND SOME

PUPPETS FOR THE STUDENTS RIGHT

HERE AT ALTA HEAD START.

THE REASON WHY, NEXT.

NEW AT FIVE: POLICE SAY

VEHICLES ABANDONED ALONG

BIRMINGHAM'S INTERSTATES ARE

EASY TARGETS FOR THIEVES.

CBS 42 NEWS REPORTER JAMES

MCCONATHA SPOKE TO ONE VICTIM

WHOSE TRUCK WAS LAST SEEN

ALONG I-65 SOUTH BETWEEN GREEN

SPRING AND OXMOOR ROAD.

SO JAMES, I'M GUESSING THAT

TRUCK WASN'T LEFT THERE FOR

LONG.

NO IT WAS HERE FOR LESS THAN

12 HOURS. ERIN STANFORD'S

HUSBAND LEFT HIS PICKUP TRUCK

RIGHT HERE WHEN IT BROKE DOWN

ONE EVENING. BUT WHEN HE CAME

BACK TO FIX IT THE NEXT

MORNING, ALL HE FOUND WAS THIS

GLASS FROM A BROKEN WINDOW.

<

STANFORD SAID SHE AND HER

HUSBAND WERE PROUD OF THIS

TRUCK. THEY BOUGHT IT USED FOR

TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS. IT WAS

PAID OFF AND IT WAS HER

HUSBAND'S PRIMARY MODE OF

TRANSPORTATION. BIRMINGHAM

POLICE DETECTIVES TELL ME

THEY'VE SEEN TYPE OF AUTO

THEFT BEFORE. THEY SAID IN THE

AMOUNT OF TIME IT WOULD TAKE

TO GET A FLAT TIRE FIXED, AN

ABANDONED VEHICLE CAN BE

HAULED OFF OR DRIVEN AWAY ON A

SPARE TIRE BY A THIEF WITH THE

RIGHT EQUIPMENT IN THE RIGHT

PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME.

STANFORD TOLD ME SHE COULDNT

BELIEVE IT HAD HAPPENED, AND

SHE WANTS OTHERS TO HEAR THEIR

STORY SO THE SAME THING DOESNT

HAPPEN TO THEM.

"We try to hope for the best

of people but you can't

always do that. So it might

put you in a financial bind to

tow it, but if you don't

want to lose the car - we had

to learn that the hard way -

if you don't want the car to

be completely gone, it might

be beneficial to try to tow

it. Cause $100 verus $2000,

it's a big gap."

I ALSO SPOKE WITH THE OWNER OF

A CUSTOM AUTO BODY SHOP WHO

TOLD ME CARS MAY BE TARGETED

BY THIEVES FOR ANY NUMBER OF

REASONS. AND PICKUP TRUCKS ARE

NEAR THE TOP OF THE LIST FOR

PARTS.

I'LL HAVE MORE ON THIS STORY

COMING UP AT 6 INCLUDING SOME

THINGS YOU CAN DO TO KEEP THIS

FROM HAPPENING TO YOU. LIVE IN

MCCONATHA IS LIVE FROM THE
