I know a lot of us had a difficult 2023, but I know there have been some good times! So let’s share and celebrate our favorite moments and/events from last year!
My sons and I went to Phillies game for Lou Gehrig’s night! The ALS association helped pay for tickets and parking so that was helpful. It was great to spend time just the 3 of us!
My fundraiser. It was wonderful to see how generous, kind and caring people are! I discovered people do want to help and it makes them feel good too! My neighbors and a friend have been making homemade dinners for us every week. It really warmed my heart to see how many people truly care!
This coven! After being diagnosed, I felt lost. I felt a very heavy energy in my home and on my shoulders. My friend suggested we sage our home. I figured why not, what do I have to lose? I had felt hopeless and helpless because bad things kept happening.
It just snowballed from there. My friend’s daughter worked at a metaphysical shop so I figured I’d check it out. That’s when I started working with crystals and I discovered witchcraft! Then I stumbled upon Spells8 and joined the forum! I immediately felt at home here. I felt like I belonged and that I was loved Everyone has been so supportive and kind! Even with my mundane life! I’m forever grateful and I love you all!
Finding Spells 8 while looking for ideas in how to celebrate yule when it was the 23rd of November. And thinking this is important I need to connect with other witches and embrace my witchy wierdo self. Grateful for this community.
Trying new ways of healing my trauma that were not just traditional talk therapy. Trying psychedelic assisted therapy. And connecting with parts of my psyche that i had long sense forgotten and buried. Guving them a voice and listening to them on a daily basis.
Finishing my EMDR basic training and realizing that it is time for me to write and develop my own systems to help folks learn to heal themselves.

I will admit that 2023 was not a good year for me after losing my younger brother to suicide.
Part of what kept me focused was working on my astrology book and seeing it come together really helped me to maintain some sense of purpose and satisfaction.
I also appreciated that my relationship with my deities continued to flourish during these hard times and I am grateful for the strength that they sent me.
@Cosmic_Curiosity I’m glad you found purpose while coping with your loss You’re presence here has been very meaningful to me! I look forward to your book!
I am certainly honored you chose to share your writing here! You shared your deeply personal and emotional story so well that I could feel what you did! Keep sharing!
