Merry Meet Monday - Witchy News of the Week (May 25 - 31) 🔵

[shanna5]

Happy week everyone! Getting on a bit late since the holiday yesterday makes my entire week feel off a day. Not complaining! I really enjoyed my extra day off.

Super excited about the BlueMoon this week!

Welcome to all of the newest members!! @lechianna - @ada1 - @Tommi - @andrea4 - @lora - @Snap - @louisej

You are all very welcome here. Don’t hesitate to ask if you need help or have questions!

Great job @Feathertip!! Third week in a row!!

@Feathertip

time for Spring - and maybe a hint of early summer!

Same here. It will cool down again tomorrow, but yesterday and today feel like we skipped spring!!

@Artemisia that little orange beauty is puurfect!! Its super rare to have a female orange cat! So she is extra magical!

@Amethyst Charlie sounds like he was an amazing guy! He will always be with you. I also am partial to orange cats. They just have something a little extra. Hahaha!

@dan3 all of your nature sounds amazing! I wonder if Iris’s normally don’t bloom the 1st few years. Its weird though if it was more than a couple of years that they would come on all of a sudden

We also have a flurry of squirrels here! I do feed them, so… They are menaces, but the little charcoal colored babies with blond tails are the cutest!!

@Moonbeam enjoy your short week and good luck on the fence!

@Eira_of_the_Living_Hearth

Wishing everyone a gentle week filled with creativity, rest where you can find it, and little sparks of magic tucked into ordinary moments

This is the perfect blessing! I would really use a “gentle week”. Thank you!!

@georgia have an amazing time at the convention!! If you do dress up, we will need some pics!! If you just need a witchy person for the day, maybe find your color theme and pick a crystal name in that color. Like if you have a lot of blue, your name could be “Aquamarine or Adventurine”. You could always take a deity name and use a variation. I recently finished rereading the Practical Magic books and love “Jet”!

@georgia

professional camera lense

It is a really good picture @dan3!!

I am still not quite feeling myself yet since vacation and the travel debacle on the way home. This weekend was really busy and I have barely had time to put things away. This week is not starting off any slower and I won’t have a free night until Saturday! @Artemisia if you have any advice on finding peace during the busiest times, please let me know!

I am getting back to my daily journaling and meditation, although I am finding it tougher to quiet my mind since I have gotten back. I just need to rediscover my inner peace. Pretty sure air travel stripped it from me and replaced it with anxiety and rage! Hahaha! I am doing some gardening tonight after work but before I head to fencing. I am sure having hands in the dirt will help!

I hope you all have an amazing start to your week!

@shanna5

I wonder if Iris’s normally don’t bloom the 1st few years.

Indeed, they sometimes take two or three years to bloom (it varies) but in this case it was over 12 years! They all came up each year but something was discouraging them from blooming. Not so now!

[Amethyst]

@Greenbriar

@Amethyst good luck with the sleep doctor. Sleepless nights aren’t fun

Thanks muchly! I got a text today, confirming my appointment for THURSDAY. Oopsy. I’m glad I saw it, I would have shown up a day early!

@georgia

It looks as though the secret of time is to find a good balance between looking forward to something in order to slow it down and looking back at all we’ve already done to speed it up.

So true. But then, if you’re into sci-fi or fandom, you know that time isn’t that simple. Time isn’t linear. Or, to quote the Doctor: “People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a nonlinear, non-subjective viewpoint, it’s more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey… stuff.”

@georgia

Trivia question: how many people actually had collected all the potential badges before they left? It would have been easier toward the beginning of the list of challenges, but it is still an honor.

I’m not sure, actually. I know I’m missing about ten or so. Not sure.

@shanna5

@Amethyst Charlie sounds like he was an amazing guy! He will always be with you. I also am partial to orange cats. They just have something a little extra. Hahaha!

Orange cats can be the silliest things on the planet. Truly fun to watch!

@shanna5

Pretty sure air travel stripped it from me and replaced it with anxiety and rage!

Yeah, I don’t blame you! You need time off from your time off! Good luck with your gardening!

[georgia]

@shanna5

maybe find your color theme and pick a crystal name in that color. Like if you have a lot of blue, your name could be “Aquamarine or Adventurine”. You could always take a deity name and use a variation. I recently finished rereading the Practical Magic books and love “Jet”!

Thanks for the ideas.

Ah! String theory.

@Amethyst

I’m missing about ten or so

I still need 106. It’s not bad for being here 2 1/2 years.

[Ostara]

Congratulations @Feathertip on your 3 week streak and your special badge! Thank you for sharing the pic of your little bunny. It’s adorable!

@Artemisia have fun on your field trip and the kittens are precious!

@Amethyst I hope your appointment at the sleep doctor goes well!

@dan3 those turkeys are gorgeous! We have plenty of deer around too. Hubby hit one on his way to work Saturday morning.

@Moonbeam whenever anyone mentions fence painting, I always think about Tom Sawyer tricking his friends into doing all the work because it was so much fun!

@TS5 I hope your heat wave ends soon. I’m not looking forward to summer heat in Texas.

@Eira_of_the_Living_Hearth I hope you start feeling better soon!

@Greenbriar and @georgia I would want to adopt all the kitties too! They are so precious!

I hope everyone has a beautiful week!

[shanna5]

Wow!! 12 years!? That is so cool how they did everything except bloom…until now!!

[Amethyst]

@georgia

Ah! String theory.

I think about baseball when I think of it, but that may be because of the pilot episode of Deep Space Nine. LOL!

@georgia

I still need 106. It’s not bad for being here 2 1/2 years.

WOW! That’s awesome! You’re doing great!

@Ostara

@Amethyst I hope your appointment at the sleep doctor goes well!

Thank you! I’m thinking about going in sleepy. Think that’ll help?

Hope your vehicle is okay!

[georgia]

@Ostara

Hubby hit one on his way to work Saturday morning.

Did you keep the meat? My cousins would have gone back for it ASAP and had it cut for the freezer, if only to recompense for the auto damage. [/spoiler]

@Amethyst

I’m thinking about going in sleepy. Think that’ll help?

Don’t get too tired to sleep. You’ll need a balance. Good luck!

@shanna5

Welcome to all of the newest members!!

Thank you. I won’t be here for long, as I will be getting on with my pregnancy journey in peace. I usually step away from social media while pregnant. Less stress means more happiness, as I’ve been discouraged from taking my anti-anxiety/anti-depressant. It is also my last pregnancy, as I will be getting tubes removed to discontinue having more.

[dan3]

@Ostara

on his way to work Saturday morning.

Our streets are all pretty quiet. Once in a while one will dart out and we have to set the brakes. Most of the time, when they are herded up, We just drive through them slowly. It’s kinda like a game part where they aren’t afraid and just let us drive by without spooking. The speed limit is 25 in most places that have deer but all of us go a LOT slower while in the area. In the last decade or so, I can only remember one time when one spooked and ran into a car.

[Feathertip]

Welcome, @lora and Merry Meet!

@lora

I won’t be here for long, as I will be getting on with my pregnancy journey in peace. I usually step away from social media while pregnant. Less stress means more happiness

I think that’s a wise decision, especially since this is going to be your last pregnancy. I hope you feel great and enjoy your time with us while you’re here. We’ll keep a light on for you. Blessings to you, your family and the little one on the way!

[Ostara]

@georgia

Did you keep the meat?

The deer kept going. It did damage the vehicle though. It’s still drivable, but it needs body work. We have full coverage, but deductible is $1000. Ouch!

[georgia]

Welcome @lora!

Blessings to the little one. May they grow strong and happy.

@dan3

they aren’t afraid and just let us drive by without spooking.

Oh the tongue! And lovely eyelashes.

@lora

I will be getting tubes removed to discontinue having more.

May your healing go smoothly.

@Ostara

but it needs body work.

I’m glad Hubby is safe. May you easily find all the funds you need to cover the repairs.

[Amethyst]

@lora

Thank you. I won’t be here for long, as I will be getting on with my pregnancy journey in peace.

Congratulations! May you have a healthy pregnancy and an easy birth! I hope all goes well!

[shanna5]

@lora Oh wow! Congratulations! What a beautiful time to disconnect from the constant input from social medias! I only do this and look at my bird feeder app! It feels so good to cut that out! I hope you have a smooth and successful pregnancy! Enjoy growing a new life and knowing you never need to do it again!!

[lora]

Lol. Thank you. There is some sadness in losing some part of myself, but knowing I had four babies to enjoy is worth it. I may be croning a bit early in my life due to health issues, making it very hard to keep up with littles. And I am a bit afraid it may go wrong during or after surgery, but I’m confident in my ability to heal fully and well enough to not make a wholly lasting impression. On a sidenote, my doctor says I am still very young to be having tubes removed, but I feel it’s the right time for my body to actually heal properly, and not when I am older and can’t.

[lora]

I have enjoyed it so far. Talking with likeminded people has always been a joy and great learning experience for me.

[Feathertip]

I’m so glad you’re learning and enjoying your time here. It’s always kind of amazing to stumble on a group of people who aren’t requiring you to hide or downplay your real self, isn’t it?

@lora

On a sidenote, my doctor says I am still very young to be having tubes removed, but I feel it’s the right time for my body to actually heal properly, and not when I am older and can’t.

Yes, well, it’s nice of him to offer an opinion, but you’ve had four babies already and you get to decide when it’s time to close that door. You’re mentioning you have other health issues, so taking this component out of it seems very brave and selfless to me - you want to be able to give your all to the little ones in front of you. You’re in charge here. Blessings!

[Moonbeam]

@lora congratulations you have made the right decision to put all your energies to your growing family may the rest of your pregnancy be filled with light, love and blessings. Remember that you are still you and can still practice everyday magic just the little things you can fit it like stirring when you are cooking, your daily drink, blowing cinnamon through your front door on the 1st of the month to bring blessings to your family and home. In case you have not seen the post I have linked them it might give you some ideas so don’t be sad you are creating life it is wonderful.
