Turning Insight into Opportunity: Using Earned Media for Business Development
(L-R) Ryan Evans, John Hellerman Theres a moment in most law firms when someone, usually a skeptical partner, asks a fair question: what exactly does communications do? Its a reasonable challenge. Much of what a marketing and communications team produces can feel intangible. A post here. A quote there. A byline that circulates for a few days and disappears. But that framing misses the point. An earned media hit is not an outcome. Its part of a life cycle.
Gov. Kemp Announces Fourth Round of Rural Site Development Grants
ATLANTA – Governor Brian P. Kemp today announced the fourth round of grants from the Rural Site Development Initiative (RSDI) within the OneGeorgia Authority, totaling $7.8 million for ten local projects across the state. With this latest round of grants, the State of Georgia has invested $28 million into rural site development projects since the program's launch in FY 2025.
Laker Band practiced, passionate as they head into state finals
By Ryan M. Evans Times Journal With state finals on the horizon, the Russell County High School Mighty Laker Marching band is fine-tuning more than music — they’re channeling something special. “Russell Springs is a band town,” Band Director Curtis Ervin said. And that hometown spirit may be their secret weapon heading into the October 25th showdown against some of the best 3A bands in the commonwealth.
New Capricorn Moon 2025
Here we are in the cold darkness of Winter. The days are slowly beginning to lengthen and now our vision for our future increases. Still in the cold darkness, our seedling self must hold strong to the mineral and the moisture deep in the Earth. Utilizing the energy we have in our core, we are tasked to be deliberate and thoughtful with each new choice. Every action must be necessary the way we travel snowy roads only if absolutely necessary.
New Sagittarius Moon 2024
While it is sadly not true for all of us, if you are reading this, you have made it through the season of death. Scorpio, the second to last season, brings us into confrontation with our mortality. We begin to digest emotionally our experiences of the previous year. We feel it all. We have felt at all. And here we are in the season of Sagittarius having escaped death, and we are free. Here is where we must be careful. That feeling of freedom can easily devolve into irresponsibility and selfishness.
New Scorpio Moon 2024
I do astrology a little differently. It’ll all be found in my book coming out next spring! I go from the bottom up. Astrology rises from the Earth and connects with the sky. It doesn’t rain from the sky upon us and the Earth, at least not completely. The seasons and cycles and rhythms of the Earth percolate up into us and we embody them. From that, we observe and project meaning onto these cycles and patterns and seasons.
New Libra Moon 2024
Us and them. Me and you. In and out. Dark and light. This world of polarities can leave us high strung, pulled in different directions, have us second-guess ourselves, and not know which direction to go. There is now more darkness to daylight. The leaves are falling. The flowers are subsiding. “…So Eden sank to grief. So dawn goes down to day, nothing gold can stay.” – Robert Frost So, what are we going to do about it? Ancient festivals marked this moment as a time of Thanksgiving.
New Virgo Moon 2024
A Light in the Dark. Everything is wrong. Everything is broken. Possibilities of global conflict are undeniable. The country in which I was born has a representative political system like a three-ring circus. Who represents me? Is there an Astrologer/Flower Farmer in Congress? I’ve been to some major cities lately and flashed to the billboard lined roads in the movie, ‘Brazil’. I don’t really want to go back. I can’t talk politics, generally, without fear of people I love disowning me.
New Leo Moon 2024
The fish are jumping. The cotton is high. The tomatoes are ripening. The sunflowers are blooming. Here we are, halfway in between the summer solstice and autumn equinox. Summer is receding. Do we celebrate or do we weep? It is here in Leo season where we acknowledge the waning summer. Leaves on the trees are changing color almost imperceptibly. The tomatoes need some fertilizer to make it through the next couple months. Some of those sunflowers are already setting seed.
New Cancer Moon 2024
Sun conjunct Moon conjunct Venus in Cancer trine Saturn in Pisces and Pallas in Scorpio. Lunation squares the Moon’s Nodes. While I was reflecting on what to write about this annual yet unique New Cancer Moon, I went to turn the compost. A farmer prides themselves on their abilities to compost. Wise Farmer knows that it is the refuse used thoughtfully and sustainably which produces the best fertilizer. All last year I threw my garden clippings into it. It piled up.
New Gemini Moon 2024
Sun Conjunct Moon Conjunct Venus in Gemini Square Saturn in Pisces There is just so much. It is all so much. Sometimes it’s simply too much! From the unpaid bills and receipts yet to file, to the cleanup from graduation, (let alone the spring cleaning we missed), there is just so much. And that’s just what’s going on in our immediate surroundings! Bringing things in on the global scale amplifies the anxiety.
New Taurus Moon 2024
“Every man is the builder of a temple, called his body, to the god he worships, after a style purely his own, nor can he get off by hammering marble instead. We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and blood and bones. Any nobleness begins at once to refine a man’s features, any meanness or sensuality to imbrute them.” – Henry David Thoreau, Walden We’ve all been through a lot lately. To be kind we can call it human life.
New Moon Aries Total Solar Eclipse
Everything is up. I could easily say the last 19 years is culminating in the energy of this eclipse, but it may be safer to say the last few years. We are emerging from being handed an incredible amount of fear in the form of the Covid pandemic. Our society was put into a jar with a lid and shaken like an egg. We have come out somewhat scrambled into a world significantly different than it was five years ago. The last couple years we have been in recovery, trying to sort out what happened and why.
New Pisces Moon 2024
Exact time of full moon: Sunday, March 10, 2024 at 4am Central Pisces is not the end. We’ve all been duped into the illusion that Pisces is the last season. Look outside. Does it feel like the last season? Maybe the last part of winter, but in the great cycle of the wheel of the year, I feel more like I’m at the beginning. I feel like the Sun has been strengthening for quite some time. Light is culminating. Only the night is receding.
History, Heroes, & Hustle: My Bio Picks
Hello fellow bookworms and history buffs! My name is Ryan Evans, and I’m thrilled to officially call myself a writer here on Medium. If like me, you have an insatiable thirst for real-life stories, buckle up — this is your new favorite stop. Let me start with a confession: I’m not just a book reader, I’m a biography addict. There’s something magical about the messy, complicated, and always surprising tapestry of human existence that’s laid bare in a well-written biography.
New Aquarius Moon 2024
Exact time of full moon: Friday, February 9, 2024 at 4:57pm CST While some say this is just the dawning of the age of Aquarius, and it doesn’t actually start until the year 2150, there are others who believe that the Aquarian age started with the ‘shot heard round the world’, the American Revolution. Following that closely was the French Revolution. The industrial age ensued. Some say the age of Aquarius began with the discovery of Uranus, the modern ‘Ruler’ of Aquarius, in 1781.
New Capricorn Moon 2024
Exact time of new moon: Jan 11, 2024 at 5:56am CST Here we are in the cold darkness of Winter. The days are slowly beginning to lengthen and now our vision for our future increases. Still in the cold darkness, our seedling self must hold strong to the mineral and the moisture deep in the Earth. Utilizing the energy we have in our core, we are tasked to be deliberate and thoughtful with each new choice. Every action must be necessary the way we travel snowy roads only if absolutely necessary.
New Sagittarius Moon 2023
Exact time of new moon: Dec 12, 2023 at 5:31pm CST Many folks misunderstand Astrology. They think that there are some magic beams coming from some picture made out of stars having an effect on life here on Earth. That’s not how it works. Astrology is more like a tree than a star beam. The tree needs to be strong and resilient in winter. The tree grows and blooms in spring. The tree flourishes in summer, and drops its seeds and leaves in autumn. Just like us.
New Scorpio Moon 2023
Exact time of new moon and solar eclipse: Oct 14, 2023 at 12:54pm CST Frost descends heavily on the fields. A white blanket covers the once verdant green beds. The tomatoes have shriveled into little red and black raisins and the lettuce hangs pale and lifeless at the edge of the garden bed. We look out at the death in the autumn garden and reflexively wish for the spring.
New Libra Moon and Solar Eclipse
Exact time of new moon and solar eclipse: Oct 14, 2023 at 12:54pm CST The Sun moves about a degree a day. The Moon moves about 13° a day going around the Earth in just over 27 days. Every year there’s at least one New Moon in Libra. It’s not every year there is a solar eclipse in Libra. The last solar eclipse in Libra was back in 2005. Interestingly, there is another one next year.
New Virgo Moon 2023
Exact time of full moon: Sept 14, 2023 at 8:49pm CST “Always in motion, is the future; difficult to see.” – Yoda The irony is that I am an Astrologer – and I prefer to not be prophetic. I don’t know what’s going to happen. If I could predict the future, then I would be able to download the winning Powerball numbers or pick the winning stock and be quite comfortable in my villa on my Greek island collecting 20% interest. Nope.
New Cancer Moon 2023
Exact time of new moon: July 17, 2023 at 1:31pm CST Filth. There is an opening word. And it just brings you right in, doesn’t it? I was about to get graphic, but I didn’t want to lose the other half of you. Dirt? Build up? Let’s just say dirt can accumulate. We set an intention, calculate our trajectory, imagine the possibilities, act on our intention, work hard to ground that intention, begin to watch it grow and morph, and then bring that out into the world.
New Gemini Moon 2023
Exact time of full moon: June 17, 2023 at 11:36pm CST “I’ve begun worshiping the Sun for a number of reasons. First of all, unlike some other gods I could mention, I can see the Sun. It’s there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, and a lovely day. There’s no mystery, no one asks for money, I don’t have to dress up, and there’s no boring pageantry.” – George Carlin The Sun is the source of all life. Without it, we’re dead.
New Taurus Moon - The Edge Magazine
Exact time of full moon: May 19, 2023 at 10:53am CST It’s all been so much. It’s all been TOO much. We have just had two lunation cycles through hot and passionate Aries. The second of which contained one of the most intense Mercury Retrogrades THIS Astrologer has ever experienced! I don’t ever like to say that Astrology CAUSES things to happen. Astrology is holographic. It is synchronistic. It is reflective. It works more through quantum mechanics than relativity. It is not causal.
New Blue Aries Moon 2023
Exact time of full moon: Wednesday April 19, 2023 at 11:11pm CST Welcome to our New Blue Aries Moon! Sometimes it snows in April. Imagine you’re a seedling popping out of the ground, and you get hit with a mid-April snow. I can picture a seedling with its stem curved and its butt is in the air; its head still in its shell halfway secured to the soil, somewhat insulated amidst its inevitable growth. Like the seedling, there is only one choice: to grow.
New Aries Moon 2023
Exact time of full moon: March 21, 2023 at 12:22pm CST We think Aries is the beginning. Understandably so, springtime is a time of rebirth. Like the seedling popping out of the soil, we have contained within us all the motivation necessary to grow up into a big, beautiful forest. But the fact of the matter is that frost can still happen. Yes, the days are now longer than the nights and the Sun is getting higher and higher in the sky.
New Pisces Moon 2023
Exact time of full moon: Feb 20, 2023 at 1:05am CST While I have been for 25 years, not many of us are farmers. There are, however, many of us who are gardeners. Even if you are not a gardener, you can imagine the picture of those of us horticulturally inclined, pouring over seed catalogs. We see pictures of the different varieties of cucumbers or sunflowers, snapdragons, or basil, and we imagine what we want the garden to look like.
New Aquarius Moon 2023
Exact time of full moon: Jan 21, 2023 at 2:53pm CST As we understand the rhythm of the year and the rhythm of human growth, we see that it all begins with intention. That’s Capricorn. Capricorn is intention brought to form. Capricorn is the journey of bringing that internal intention into outer action which leads to the manifestation of our intention. When we come to Aquarius season, that intention is put to the test.
New Capricorn Moon concludes 2022
The new Capricorn Moon will peak at exactly 4:16am Central time December 23rd. If we are mixing a liquid biodynamic preparation, there is a particular way to do it. If we consider mixing solids into liquid, we need forces which actually make the water hold the energy of the preparation. We need the energy of the vortex, and we need the energy of chaos. We circle the preparation clockwise in a bucket and create a vortex where all of the molecules are moving in the same direction.
New Sagittarius Moon
It’s the final moments in the movie/play/book/story where all of the loose ends come together. Navigating a roller coaster of events from birth to death we hope, at least, that in the end it all makes sense. Love. Gratitude. Celebration. Generosity. Feeling it, growing it, sharing it. That’s about as close as we can get to the meaning of life. Am I wrong? I sure feel that as truth, anyway. I guess that’s what I’ve learned from, and continue to learn from, life.
New Scorpio Moon
Welcome to our New Scorpio Moon, exact at 5:48am central October 25. New Moons are times of endings and new beginnings. Scorpio is the season of clearing and finality, transformation and power. It is at this time when retrospection is incredibly important. We look back on our year and assess those experiences which have either increased our connection with our power and purpose or those situations and circumstances which have hurt or wounded us.
New Libra Moon - The Edge Magazine
I look to the North and feel her softening and flooding and awakening. I look to the South and feel the unrest. I look to the West and I feel the fire. I look to the East and feel the instability. Everywhere I look is chaos. Everywhere I look there is tumult and uncertainty. We are being shaken to our core from every angle as we perceive anxiety in every direction. And amidst all of this is our chosen task to bring it all into balance.
New Virgo Moon - The Edge Magazine
Welcome to your New Virgo Moon exact at 3:15 am 8/27/22. I’m going to say this as gently as I can. Please know I’m not singling you out but I’m talking to the entirety of humanity… You are imperfect! You are flawed! You may be cracked, tarnished, chipped, stained, or otherwise wobbling just a little bit with a replacement part. We have fear, sorrow, anger, and sometimes react from them. They sometimes take over our consciousness rendering us ‘guilty’ of inappropriate or immature action.
New Leo Moon - The Edge Magazine
After Leo comes Virgo. We then begin to bring in the harvest and prepare for Winter. In Libra season, we will enjoy and share the harvest. Scorpio turns it all back into the ground. But, right now it is Leo season. Right now the Summer’s heat is blazing. Life is rich and alive and gloriously abundant. Can you feel that?
New Cancer Moon - The Edge Magazine
Exact at 9:53 pm central June 28th. It’s the pulse and the heartbeat. It’s the rhythm and the rhyme; the orchestration, the symphony, the calliope. If the Moon did not exist, we would experience no seasons. The Earth would not wobble the way that it does. This wobble brings the Sun to its highest, most northerly point at Summer Solstice, and then back down to its lowest, most southerly point at Winter Solstice.
New Taurus Moon – Partial Solar Eclipse - The Edge Magazine
There is no denying the intensity of this human existence. Our mortality is a consideration upon who’s edge we must tread lightly. So many wars and so much economic turbulence. So much struggle and so much strife. As a civilization we seem to be balanced precariously between total annihilation and whatever distractions we can find to try to assuage our fears.
New Aries Moon - The Edge Magazine
We begin life in Capricorn season. The shell of our seed cracks open in the cold dark Earth and the Intention of Creation becomes incarnate. We think of the moment the seedling pops out of the Earth as the beginning but before the cotyledons open to the Sun, that seedling has been busy establishing a hold in the Earth. Winter Solstice is the beginning of the cycle.
New Pisces Moon - The Edge Magazine
Welcome to our New Pisces Moon, exact Wednesday, March 2 at 11:33 AM central. This New Moon is conjoined both its traditional and modern rulers, Jupiter and Neptune. It is sextile to Uranus in Taurus, while Mercury and Saturn are conjoined in Aquarius and Vesta, Venus, Mars, and Pluto are conjoined and Capricorn. We are here at the edge of the veil. We can sense the magic and the beauty that we are capable of as a species.
New Aquarius Moon
New Aquarius Moon Astrology is misnamed. It IS true that we have looked to the heavens for meaning. We reached our hands toward the sky and asked ‘why’? We observed the intricate rhythm and flow of the minute objects floating through the darkness of night, but it was the Moon which first entranced us.
