New Mexico kids get shortchanged

We all benefit when New Mexico’s classrooms have the resources they need to educate our children. After all, today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders, entrepreneurs, and workforce. But our educational outcomes are not what they should be, and part of the reason is that we’ve underfunded our schools for years.

Some of the money that supports New Mexico’s education system comes from royalties and rental payments paid by the oil and natural gas industries. Because we understand how fortunate we are to have those natural resources, we tend to forget our responsibility to be the very best stewards of them that we can be. We must ensure that we’re...

Today the Sun shines in Pisces. The sign of the fish goes with the flow, shows compassion, and works on the inner self. Take notice and consider going on an adventure. You may find the idea of romancing yourself a little silly, but it might be just the ticket. Madame G recommends you become someone whom you’d want to date. Enjoy yourself.

So, here are the main 5 priorities I felt needed to be addressed. There has been some progress, yet I find that all five still...

We benefit from the Sun in Pisces until March 19th. This mutable sign offers insight into the emotions of generosity and empathy. Buyer beware, you may also find an increase in self-pity and feelings of victimization. Madame G wishes you well. Learn to examine emotions as part of you, but not as you. Feelings aren’t facts. Consider how you influence the energy of others.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Dear Aries, the Sun is almost under your sign. Until then you must endure the emotional “touchy- feely” warmth of water. Your more fire-like nature may reject this yin-like quality, but it’s exactly what you need. Every creature has elements of yin and yang, even you. What I’m...
