~Neowise Comet~
@melewho has shared with us a very exciting cosmic happening going on right now- for the first time 7,000 years, the Neowise Comet is visible! 
- The Detroit Free Press has a guide How to See the Neowise Comet Before it Disappears

Were you able to see the comet? There is an ongoing discussion about Comet Hunting- share your experience and your pictures if you were lucky enough to snap a good image! 
~Lughnasadh/Lammas~
For those who celebrate the 8 Sabbats of the Wheel of the Year, the next holiday: Lughnasadh/Lammas is almost here!
Lammas is the first of the 3 harvest holidays and is a great time to reap the rewards that you have sown. Less than two weeks away, this holiday will fall on Saturday, August 1st.
For a full guide to celebrating this Sabbat, including history and colors/plants/materials to decorate your altar, check out: How to Celebrate Lughnasadh/Lammas Alone. You can also learn more by checking out the Lughnasadh Celebration Ritual

this week. On Friday I have an exam for a technical certificate. I need to pass this exam if I want more pay for my family. Although I have trained for a couple months I am nervous as the date gets closer. Please send positive energies my way, if you remember.
The good news is that 
I believe that all of your hard work will pay off!
