@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
@Siofra_Strega 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 weāre neighbours. Its beautiful. Blessed be and have a great week
Thank you @Aurora_Hestia

Itās been a long time coming and after doing some shadow work/working on some childhood trauma, itās 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!

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 couldnāt 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!

Iām 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 donāt want to damage myself anymore. But youāre right, I need to get off my butt more and do them.

Thank you @MeganB, @Siofra_Strega and @Amethyst
Aww, youāre welcome, my dear! We love learning with you!

Long story short: Do your exercises! Yes, itās 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, Iām not there yet but I keep trying, so maybe⦠someday!
Iām gonna wait and see what the doctor says, but I couldnāt 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!

@Amethyst Thankyou. Im sneezing too, hayfever, but its a good sign. We have such long dark winters, it means summers coming. Yey
True. Itās nice to see the blackberries blossoming out my window. If only I didnāt sneeze so much!

do what you all do
You did a fantastic job!

I may start again after going to the arthritis doctor.
I think waiting would be a good idea since youāre injured, for sure. But theyāre 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?

āSeeā you then, Infinite Roots- cheers!

Iām looking forward to it!

I hear ya. I need to do the upper-body ones at the very least. Sigh. Donāt wanna. LOL!
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 Iām sure there were other contributors including my next appointment for my migraine treatments is next Tuesday. So thereās thatā¦
Youāre welcome @Phoenix_Rose & @crystal59! I hope you have some great days ahead!

Wednesday, May 24 - Thargelia Festival Day One (for the Goddess Artemis
)
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! Iāve 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! What a good start to my morning!!

Keep track of upcoming witchy and pagan holidays by downloading and printing your copy of the 2023 Pagan Holiday Calendar

Wishing
the best on your new adventure,
Thank you!

Yay! That sounds amazing. May you meet with much success!
Thank you!

Hope youāre feeling better today! Itās definitely that time of year.

Iām gonna wait and see what the doctor says, but I couldnāt 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!
Thank you, dear Amethyst
you are so kind! You are quite dear to me too!
I have to agree with you, getting your doctorās opinion is a good idea!
After I sent the message to you, I watched the video from the Rosalie Yoga 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!
With love always

@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 hope your migraine gets better. Maybe close your window at night when itās cool? That might help.

Oh you and me both
My physical therapy exercises are for my shoulders so I totally understand!
Itās no fun, isnāt it?

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!
Hee! Thank you love! Gotta laugh or youāll cry about some things. I have balance problems on two feet and my left hand shakes. I canāt imagine doing that tree pose! More power to you if you can do it, youāre awesome!
@Amethyst⦠it definitely crossed my mind when I saw all the blooms this morning I hope your knee is feeling better! Or starting to!

planning how to celebrate it tomorrow!

Blessed Tharelgia, Artemisia! I hope you were able to find some fun ways to celebrate. Enjoy the day!

Itās no fun, isnāt it?
Nope, it never is I have to tell myself that I canāt expect my kiddo to do hers if I donāt do mine!

I hope your knee is feeling better! Or starting to!
Itās doing much better, thanks love!

Nope, it never is
I have to tell myself that I canāt expect my kiddo to do hers if I donāt do mine!
Ah, the good parent thing. Yeah, I donāt envy you that. LOL! More power to you, love!

More power to you, love!
haha thank you, Amethyst! Parenting is no walk in the park and it definitely didnāt come with a handbook
I wish it did!
