I feel like I have a lot going on this week too but itās just another schedule adjustment I swear, one day things will be streamlined!
You and me both! I could use all the self-care lately I am seriously considering going back to a physical planner so I can write things down rather than doing it all digitally. The digital stuff is getting me down and I think writing it all down would help. Does the planner you use have a journal section to write about your day? I may just have to make my ownā¦
Oh my gods, already?! I feel like you were just talking about being excited for summer break happy birthday to your kiddo!
This sounds much-needed for you and probably many others, too. I hope you enjoy your time in whatever you do
Hooray!! Iām glad to hear youāre feeling better. Thatās such good news!
@MeganB it is! Summer break is a blink of an eye! The kids have til August 1. We get out mid May and we have a balanced calendarā¦ that means I get 3 extra weeks off during the school year that other places do notā¦ shorter summer, but more breaks throughout. Itās a decent trade off!
It has a notes section that you can use but itās only a single page. I just switched over to the coil Linen from their regular Linen and love how easy it is to work with. There are a few extra note pages in the back as well.
What I do is have a little notebook and keep it on the back pocket. My current one is from FFP as I got 4 free one of my quarterly planners. They are the perfect size but Iāll likely see if I can find comparable ones on Amazon for a better price.
At the end/beginning of the week (whichever way you want to look at it), there is a weekly section that has a recap that I like. I didnāt do last weekās because COVID.
Awesome job ladies! The coven wouldnāt be the same without you both!
Thank you to all members of the coven, without your contributions there wouldnāt be anyone to learn from!
I know I have an appointment on Wednesday, but other than that not much except the fair has started this week in my town, so traffic is such a thing & so is the number of people on the route off the on-ramp that the County Fair is held on each year. Again, this time of year, I only leave my house for a good reason. Usually, Iām listening to the scanner, itās gotten much worse over the summer than it has been in over a decade! Everyone is here with pent-up cabin fever & a heat waveā¦ perfect for a fair by the ocean
Have you ever gone looking for something & then you wind up with 6 more organizational projectsā¦ well that happened to me over the weekend. Iām still finding things! So far I have 2 altar crystal grid cloths. I have another crystal grinding cloth that is a bit bigger that is different. I know I have the sacred geometry one, Flower of Life, & the Seed of Lifeā¦ plus one of them has a placement for each chakra marked by their representative sacred lotus flower on the grid if thatās what you are using it forā¦
I will take a picture of them tomorrow in my room. I knew I had them but before I took the crystal healing courses & started diving into energy work & chakrasā¦ I didnāt really know or felt like I wanted to use them. Now that I do, itās good to know I have a few options for directing the energy.
Today started with a morning meditation & it was for a protective shield around my aura for the rest of the day. Then I did the Bloodstone Activation meditation on Spells8 because that was my crystal drawn for the week which to me is awesome because I am not opposed to an extra boost for my root chakraā¦ plus to my surprise, it mentions & has the root chakra as a good part of the meditation.
I also did meditation for the Morrigan today because 3 days in a row I found 1 single black feather in my driveway, but not laying flat, they were standing up because the stem was in between the stones just rightā¦ but 3 timesā¦ so I figured before she got upset, I would reach out to her & tell her what progress I have made & how to use my coping skills to get through & hold my boundaries & chore program without falter so the free for all doesnāt get out of control.
Just going to finish up a couple of projects this week. The forecast is hell temps this week again so staying inside as much as possible. My little dog gets her staples out Thursday. Her biopsy came back negative so we are ecstatic!
@Amethyst just turn it off! Your phone will be fine to hard boot. Must play games! LOL Iāve done it a million times and mine is working fine Happy to hear your healing too
@AileyGrey those milestones for the youngest are very hard. Best wishes and enjoy your little ones special day (they will always be our babies). My oldest baby turns 27 tomorrow and my baby will be 17 in sept Time does fly. So many Moonsā¦
Amaris Bane,
I am putting this one on my calendar, I hope you feel better hopfully you can get out soon and find something that is suitable for you! You do desearve some pampering! But we need to stir up the perfect antidot! Whats brewing in the witches cauldron? Me I am thinking of soaking my feet outside in my garden! I just moved in my new home and quite frankly its to late to start a garden but at least I have my plants!
Jeannie
Iām a little excited about International Moon day! Iām always looking for the moon & to see if I can find any stars around my house when I am out there late at night.
I definitely want to indulge in self-care day though! Hopefully, this weekend isnāt as active as the past ones.
We have had a lot of transitions this year too! I swear itās the year for it because so far this summer; my husband started a new job, I went to a wedding, the next day a baby was bornā¦ new beginnings for everyone!
My ābabyā is 13 & my only girl. So I understand that feeling of it hitting you harder. There are times when things my now adult sons do & it just hits me like a ton of bricks. I also understand that Iām ready but Iām not ready feeling. I have that when thereās some kind of transition. I will be that way when my daughter goes back to school. I will be excited, but sad at the same time.
I hope the new graft works on the new sore & it heals more quickly than in the past.
I think you will be able to come up with something great for Lughnasadh! Maybe look up some information on Lugh & find your own way to honor him & the first harvest. You got this, I know you will come up with something greatā¦ I bet one of your recipes here in the forum would have some perfect for it!
I have an eye doctor appointment on the 25th & they are dilating my eyesā¦ woo hoo! Itās become a thing since I have lattice degeneration, astigmatism, nearsightednessā¦ ah the life of a chronic illness that affects all things.
I feel this way, Iām hopeful that one day is soon because right now Iām walking a tight rope
This is the energy I hope to have by the time Sunday comes around. Having my husband & everyone home on the weekends is tough for me sometimes. Everyone is home & I feel like I need an airtight, soundproof room for them to not need me as soon as I decide to sit down for myself
Supposedly we are having a thunderstorm or were supposed to have one last night for a week of the same types of temps I donāt like when it gets this hot because itās harder for me to withstand being outside if Iām not by the water. I also donāt want to walk to the beach from my house in the heat
Egads! Things like that always bring the people in droves! Good luck getting to and from your appointment. Hopefully, the Fair will move on soon and things will get better for you.
I also hope your meeting with the Morrigan went well. I havenāt found a patron goddess really so far, so I envy you your connection to her.
Are you like me, needing totes to put your junk in because you donāt want it out but you donāt want to throw it away either? LOL!
Have a good self-care day!
I hope this hard boot will help. The problem is itās frozen so it wonāt turn off or anything. I have to wait for the power to run down. ~headdesk~ Thanks for the good vibes for healing!
Thank you, love! I hope it helps.
I just want to do some research, and then Iāll get started writing. Iāll get there yet! Thanks, love!
As for the fair trafficā¦ I just avoid that road completely & go aroundā¦ so much easier than sitting in traffic. People come from near & far to go to the fair each year. I have embraced what I call āNative Travelā because the locals all know how to avoid the main roads going around the back roadsā¦ some of the back roads are recognized by GPS systems now, so they arenāt as easy, but still way better than the parking lots of main roads or beach roads.
Since we are supposed to have a heat wave, I will be inside most of the time until the afternoon when the beach here isnāt as full. I havenāt been down to the ocean yet & feel like I need to get there soon, every summer Iām usually down there in the afternoon. Things just havenāt allowed that for me this year yet time to make time I guess!
Youāre so welcome for the healing vibes!!! I know youāve been battling this for a long time
I forgot to mention that when your device is frozen and wonāt turn off you can push in and hold the power button and it will shut the power off, then you can turn it back on. I had some games that would freeze mine up and that would fix it.
I used to build PCās when I was in my 20ās, tech problems are the worst! I hope you are able to play again soon.
The Waning Crescent Moon encourages us to embrace relaxation and reflect on positivity. Peer deeper than the darkness, release what is blocking you, and find your soothing inner light in this group ritual
Looking forward to indulging in some relaxing quiet time with you all this Thursday!
drem, yol, lok vozah rumme! Faal diist ahvos fen das kos voknau mu!
Hello, Infinite Roots! Lammas will soon be upon us.
Oh, wow. Dovahzul has made my speech sound really formal.
Anyway, for Lammas, Iām thinking of making a harvest oil that includes olive oil, basil, and thyme. Not sure yet what other prosperity herbs would go well with them. Any ideas?
And on another note, some of the dollar stores are starting to put out Halloween candy and some of the craft stores are putting out autumn and Halloween items. I know that we still have Lammas and Mabon, but I canāt help myself! Iām a Fall Witch! Hey, that could be a great badge title for a future challenge.
I forgot to say thank you for this! Yes, it did & I cut up her apple to bury in my yard today & then poured her stormwater over a piece of white quartz-like rock on the edge of my front garden. It has a point on each end right to the corner of the garden & I poured from the outer edge to the inner edge. I donāt know why, but every time I empty the chalice with her stormwater, thatās what I do with it. If I leave milk for Brighid, I pour that over the base of an oak tree in my back yardā¦ donāt know why thatās just what Iāve always done.
Donāt melt, either way, weād miss you here! LOL!
Yeah, Iām going on like three years on this one sore. I should have named it and claimed it on my taxes.
They fixed it today once it was run down! Iām back in business, thanks so much for the help!
I love Halloween as much as the next witch, but thatās too early! Next thing you know theyāll have Christmas stuff out in August!
Both sound like wonderful rituals! Weāre not allowed to put any food outside for the animals, it attracted a bear so for now I make do with offerings of incense. After all, I donāt want a bear climbing through my window! LOL!
@Amethyst having woken up one night with a bear on the back porch off the kitchenā¦ no that is not something you would want to have to happen!
It has been a while for your leg, but it seems like so far the best results have come from the grafts. So hopefully this one doesnāt get too bad now that youāve had the graft for it while itās smaller.
@kasandra, I was at Michaelās today (I was there for 1 item & walked out with the 1 item 20% cheaper) the first thing I noticed was the autumn-themed merchandise, I believe some of it (if not all the shelves) were at least 30% off the fall/autumn items. I couldnāt believe it!
@Susurrus SAME. I have one child, 13 and my boyfriend has 3 children. Two of his and my one live with us. SO itās chaos every single day during summer vacation so Iām ready for school next month lol! I have to hide away in my office and tell them 700 times before coming in here that I will be busy, if they need anything itās their last chance, and do not bother me until I come out of the room.
It barely works, but hey Iām about at a 50/50 rate of getting peace sometimes
