@MeganB Thankyou for the shout out. Im going to try and do what you all do and @ each in 1 post. 😂 @Phoenix_Rose Thankyou, sorry about your back and legs, I had pain in my legs and tried yoga, only kept falling over 😂, still it made for a good laugh but did help a little. We have Mctimoney back chiro here, do you have that there? Its a little gentler than the chiro, chiros scare me. But I Hope you feel a bit better soon ❤ @Susurrus Thankyou, I love it here, feels like home, happy reading 😃 @Amethyst Thankyou. Im sneezing too, hayfever, but its a good sign. We have such long dark winters, it means summers coming. Yey 😁 @Aurora_Hestia Thankyou. Everyone is so nice and knowledgeable. Its fab.❤ @marsha Thankyou. Its nice to be a part of this lovely witchy community. ❤ @Jeannie1 Thankyou. Happy gardening. Its that time of year to get the herbs growing. ❤ @crystal59 Well done lovely, for being so lovely ❤ A big heart to all of you for welcoming this lone witch from the other side of the Atlantic. Though we are miles apart physically, I feel like we’re neighbours. Its beautiful. Blessed be and have a great week ❤ ---

I hope you’re able to find some relief soon. So sweet that your 12 year old has been helping though! > > As for me, we’re in the middle of shifting our woodworking business to focus more on pets 🐕 🐈 so I’m working on some new products, finishing up a rainbow bridge sign for a friend, and trying to align the business more with my values. It’s been a long time coming and after doing some shadow work/working on some childhood trauma, it’s exciting (and nerve-racking!) to pursue someone that really fits who I am. > > Other than that, I’m trying to get all set to enjoy summer. Pulling out kids toys, getting our stock tank pool set, gardening, etc. :sun: 👩‍🌾 It’s been an early start to the warm season for us, but I’m not complaining. It’s been so nice to have windows open all the time, going for early morning walks when everyone else is sleeping and eating outside. > > I hope everyone has a wonderful + magickal week! ✨ > [@Aurora\_Hestia](#): > > It’s been a long time coming and after doing some shadow work/working on some childhood trauma, it’s exciting (and nerve-racking!) to pursue someone that really fits who I am. Yay! That sounds amazing. May you meet with much success! Thanks @marsha! > [@TricksterShaman](#): > > chiros scare me. I love my chiro! I dont love/trust all chiros. I am super lucky he is knowledgeable and a well rounded practictioner. A few years ago I went to the ER as I couldn’t walk and was in tons of pain. The doctor said take 3 weeks off work, take some morphine and it will get better over time. I told my chiro- he opened up for me on his day off and adjusted me 3 times that week and the week after. Within a week, week & 1/2, I could walk without a cane and no morphine. I have been sitting at a desk working o/t and stressing. I need to just do my exercises. I am glad you have found something that works for you! ---

> [@MeganB](#): > > I’m gonna tell you the same thing I tell my daughter because she does this too 🤣 the more you do them, the easier they become! I may start again after going to the arthritis doctor. Right now it sends me to a pain scale of 8-10 to try to do them on my leg. I don’t want to damage myself anymore. But you’re right, I need to get off my butt more and do them. > [@crystal59](#): > > Thank you @MeganB, @Siofra\_Strega and @Amethyst Aww, you’re welcome, my dear! We love learning with you! > [@marsha](#): > > **Long story short: Do your exercises!** Yes, it’s painful but it makes such a difference, for me anyway! When the pain is bad I do just a few several times a day. I also have a lot of issues with balance, I practice the [tree pose](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YEpIvjHjEg), I’m not there yet but I keep trying, so maybe… someday! I’m gonna wait and see what the doctor says, but I couldn’t do a tree pose if I wanted to. Now I can do a planet pose, where I curl up in a ball in the bed like a planet, no problem! Thank you for your light, @marsha! You are very dear to me! > [@TricksterShaman](#): > > @Amethyst Thankyou. Im sneezing too, hayfever, but its a good sign. We have such long dark winters, it means summers coming. Yey 😁 True. It’s nice to see the blackberries blossoming out my window. If only I didn’t sneeze so much! ---

> [@TricksterShaman](#): > > do what you all do You did a fantastic job! 👏 ❤ > [@Amethyst](#): > > I may start again after going to the arthritis doctor. I think waiting would be a good idea since you’re injured, for sure. 🫂 But they’re a good exercise to do to prevent injury and more pain! I know how much they suck, too 😂 because here I am telling my kiddo (and you!) to do the physical therapy exercises and I should also be doing the ones for my shoulder regularly. I do them occasionally, just not regularly enough. Do as I say, not as I do? 🤣 > [@BryWisteria](#): > > “See” you then, Infinite Roots- cheers! 🎴 😀 ❤ I’m looking forward to it! ❤ ---

Yesterday I was plagued by a sneak up migraine, that may or may not have been initiated by allergies… @Amethyst reminded me that yes, my rhododendron is in fact blooming & is also… right in front of my bedroom window that we have been keeping open at night 😆 I took my allergy medicine, so I’m sure there were other contributors including my next appointment for my migraine treatments is next Tuesday. So there’s that… 🤗 You’re welcome @Phoenix_Rose & @crystal59! I hope you have some great days ahead! 💞 ---

> [@BryWisteria](#): > > Wednesday, May 24 - [Thargelia Festival Day One](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thargelia) _(for the [Goddess Artemis 🌕](https://spells8.com/artemis-devotional/))_ I am so bad about checking these posts each week but I checked this morning (yes I am procrastinating on starting my day 😆) and I found something great! I’ve gone down a rabbit hole researching Thargelia, its connection to Artemis, and its historical significance, and planning how to celebrate it tomorrow! 🦌 🏹 🌿 Oh goodness, I just found this as well! I love that I can add witchy holidays and moon phases to my google calendar!

You are very dear to me! 😊 Thank you, dear Amethyst 🫂 you are so kind! You are quite dear to me too! ❤ I have to agree with you, getting your doctor’s opinion is a good idea! After I sent the message to you, I watched the video from the [Rosalie Yoga](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YEpIvjHjEg) and I have to say, the tips really helped me to balance better. I may actually be able to do it correctly someday! I think the tree pose is one of the hardest ones to do, but guess what? I can do the planet pose too! 🤣 I love your sense of humor!
