Wide awake in the middle of the night… another side effect. Bleh.
I won’t complain too loudly as it is a beautifully silent time to be…
Yesterday was the village wide yard sale. Love that! Found
some needed items and some un-needed items, lol. You know how it is :) Spent
the day with “Hey, nineteen” (who is now 20!), walking the village, coveting
gardens and buying little treasures. Good day.
I’ve been thinking a great deal on something the stone seer imparted last year. Something that made little sense, at the time, can now be
heard loud and clear. Actually, that
something is a someone! An old dialog that had become distant and muted over
time still holds purpose and meaning for both our old souls. My lessons or
theirs? Probably both, huh. Either way, it is most welcome. Ha! I say that now…
till the lesson is mine :P
Tomorrow will be more canning and pleasant puttering. Maybe
a little fall decorating!
Hope all have a beautiful Sunday, full of all the things that
make your heart sing… abundant blessings and much love… xxx ooo

Thanks for all the b-day love sent my way yesterday! You
guys are the best. You may continue all week if you’d like, lol… I fully intend
to stretch it out a bit myself, :P
I’m an indulgent witch…
My days, of late, have been full of handfuls of perfect
little pleasures… and by ‘little’ I don’t mean small. Garden harvests, blooming flowers, comfortable
weather, my family’s love (sometimes :P), sweet friends voices, baking and the
list goes on... Yesterday, the first look off the back deck was a turkey hen
and wee ones, plucking their way across the woodland’s edge. Sorry, no pic… the
scene was so poignant I couldn’t move!
Gaia gives the best b-day gifts, hands down…
The energy I’ve felt since the full moon recharge as been
nothing short of awesome! Divination, meditation, dreams, intuition… all have
been heightened. Birthday gifts from the Universal? Wow! Thanks :)
Yup, all the icky mundane life crap is still there… the
works. Finances have to top the list, 20 something drama still ranks right up
there, blah, blah, blah. So, nothings ever going to be my idea of ‘perfect’…
who cares?!I’ve carefully crafted my
life to maximize the enjoyment of pleasures. Ha! Listen to me… in the midst of
a major financial catastrophe; I’ve immersed myself in delight, lol. I know it
looks quite contrary but it just feels correct. How uncharacteristic of a
virgo, eh?
I'm headed off to play with my wee witchling, Nathan. Take care of you!
Here I sit… nearing the marker of another year spent
learning, growing and yes…changing. This is where keeping a blog/journal comes
in handy! Looking back over the year’s posts helps me to take inventory… of
feelings, challenges, milestones and such. I have always maintained that the
only true constant is change. That has never been quite as apparent to me as in
this past year. Indeed, I find myself square in the middle of a transformation.
I knew it was on the horizon. I felt it when I turned 40… and Kali hasn’t left
my side for almost a year now! What I didn’t expect to feel/see were the
physical changes, which inevitably come, so quickly. It shouldn’t surprise me,
I suppose… every milestone many woman experience (in the modern era) I’ve come
to before their expected arrival date. Married with three children by 21,
family matriarch before 30 and grandmother before 40. My maiden, mother, crone
is all mashed in together, lol! It’s hard sometimes to get an accurate sense of
self, as you could well imagine. Among a whole host of lessons learned this
past year I would have to say that one stands out… expand your
sense of self. Or my idea of it, anyway!I can also say with some certainty, at the lovely age of 43’ish… I know
nothing, lol! I'm a blank slate! This expansion should be a piece of cake, eh?! Don’t answer that…
Saturday’s black moon energy was fabulous and so was Sunday’s
energy too! Beautiful spell… but I was a bit thrown off balance by who came to
sit next to me in the meditation! It wasn’t me at all but my Aunt, Nana and two
of our departed mows, lol!!! I’m sorry, guys… I tried to follow along but
somewhere along the line I lost control of the meditation :P It was still
wonderful… (((group hug))) They provided a view of self that is invaluable to me and they brought lots and lots of love!
Most everything has been harvested save for the tomatoes
& pumpkins. I’ll be doing both for a while yet.
No b-day plans… we just can’t fit it into the budget. But I
do have something to admit. Those of you who have read my blogs over the last
year know that whenever I have to go to Bangor on my b-day (which is when we usually visit) I stomp my feet like a toddler,
lol. Now we can’t go and I’m a bit disappointed. I miss my BettyBoop (SIL) and
yes, fine… the whole family! I know Will feels badly about it too. Maybe we can
go for Thanksgiving? I know I’m pushing it… Em’s for Harvest, Lisa’s for
Samhain and Thanksgiving in ME. It’ll be my birthday wish :)
Hope everyone has a wonderful week! Blessings and love… xxx

I don't mean to be a nudge, lol... well, maybe I do! But the Sun Salutaion class (free!) is available today here! http://www.yogatoday.com/
It should be available all week. I'm not sure how long after that they have it on the site.
If someone could critique it for me, I'd appreciate it. Was it helpful.. too difficult... easy to follow? I have Surya Namaskar in my vid section here but it's not set up as a class. It's impossible for me to take the time needed to get it on dial-up :( Opinions please!
...and while I'm nudging :P This is the OCA's newsletter, Organic Bytes. Great publication!
