Happy hellos and a very Merry Meet Monday to everyone!
Upcoming Events 
~Full Moon~
On the night of Tuesday, September 1st into Wednesday, September 2nd we will be blessed with the light of the September Full Corn Moon! 
While not the harvest moon (coming next month!), this moon has an interesting history and can be used in powerful full moon rituals and spells. You can learn more on the Full Corn Moon Spells8 Page- including history, potential uses, and even a lovely coloring page! 
To find the exact time of the full moon in your region, you can use the Old Farmer’s Almanac’s Moon Phase Calendar 
~Celtic Tree Month~
With the full moon, on Wednesday, September 2nd we leave behind the Hazel Month and pass into the Vine Month. The Celtic Vine Month will last until September 29th and marks the time of the harvest 
Learn Religions says the following about the Vine Month:
The Vine month is a time of great harvest — from the grapes of the Mediterranean to the fruits of the northern regions, the Vine produces fruits we can use to make that most wondrous concoction called wine. The Celts called this month Muin . The Vine is a symbol of both happiness and wrath — passionate emotions, both of them. Do magical workings this month connected to the Autumn Equinox, or Mabon, and celebrate garden magic, joy and exhilaration, wrath and rage, and the darker aspect of the mother goddess. Use the leaves of the Vines to enhance your own ambition and goals. during this month. The month of Vine is also a good time to get balanced, as there are equal hours of darkness and light.

I love incorporating a little more magick in my day to day.
!! 
Hopefully a little bit and your knee braces will be squeak-free in no time, 
You’ve got some exciting choices of places- I hope the two of you are able to have some wonderful trips! 
seriously, we’ve gone to the beach, I made fair grounds in the yard, we had a huge slide, bouncy house a ton of games and I bought a popcorn machine, cotton candy machine and I made a lot of ‘fair food’. this Oct, were making hay rides and a haunted house. Although my house is already haunted lol I invite my nephew’s over and a couple neighborhood kids and we have a blast.
I have fibromyalgia so I do know what that crap feels like! I was taking Lyrica and it actually worked. But I became allergic to it. My lips, tongue and cheeks swelled. At the end, my throat began to swell. I went to the hospital.
I have my limits and am able to only work part time. Grr! But it was like a slap in the face when I learned I have this condition. Mornings are the worst for me. I have to keep moving, otherwise the laziness will set in and moving will be more a struggle. Stretching oh so helps!
