I usually write on a different blog site quite regularly. Right now I'm finishing up a 60 day writing challenge. As soon as that ends, I'm heading on vacation with my family where we'll have limited access to the internet and electronics. Only a week though!
When I get back I'm going to be making significant changes in my lifestyle. Including spending more time writing here with Blogger.
My last challenge was 60 days of trying to get healthy. Instead of it ending up like I thought it would, I discovered that I enjoy exercise and eating well. I love how I feel when I take the time and make the effort for myself. I started off being too hard on myself and by the end of this, I have learned to love myself. It sounds much easier than it was, but I have learned much about who I am.
Above all, I have learned that I really love writing!
This summer I'm going to push myself to do more physically demanding things- like exercise, hiking, bike rides with the kids... things that I would come up with excuses not to do last summer and summers before that. Keep in mind, I'm a school bus driver, I live about 4 hours drive from Salem, MA. I'm a pagan, and I consider myself a witch. I also plan to spend a bit more time checking out witchy places through out the summer. Lots of hiking trails, and things outside.
I'll have to stock up on bug spray and sun block!
I want to spend more time blogging on Blogger, and less on Prosebox. I have spent years there, and I'm hesitant on moving my writing to Blogger because it's a bigger audience, and I can easily be found on social media because of Blogger. But... That's the plan!
I have my 20 year old tarot deck I had planned to share, but I can't get any good images of the cards. Instead, I'm going to make a "cheat sheet" type entry that gives the meanings of each card, and it's a basic thing you can use with most decks. At least, in my experience! I also discovered a few other decks I absolutely LOVE! Witches Tarot is fun.
Don't think I'm only able to read tarot, I also have oracle cards, pendulums, and other things. Even if I'm not writing about witch related topics, I feel this is a good place for a witch to write! I make things also. I made soap I plan to sell, but I haven't created an online store yet. I crocheted a blanket for my son, it only took about 2 weeks. (65" square, about 3,000 yards of yarn)
This summer I'm taking my daughter to check out a college that is only about 90 minutes outside Salem, so we'll be stopping there too!
It's going to be a long summer, and a life changing experience.
Along this road, I'm starting a program Monday- Once I figure out my start date here, I'll inform y'all what it is, and what I have to do. Mostly for myself of course!
I'll create some more helpful witchy posts also. Educational and such! I believe my last day on the other blog challenge I gave myself is next Friday. Monday I go to the doctor to create a plan for weight loss and lifestyle changes to help me lose about 120 pounds. Friday we leave for Michigan, and we will be home by July 4th. I'm the type of person that shares too much, and blogs every day. This is my place for private thoughts, and inspiration.
I hope all of my readers will have respect for me and themselves and not give me hurtful comments. Think twice, send once.
Anyone wanting to know about my spells, PLEASE take the time to read the entries that explain the results I have had, if I didn't update the post with results on the spells. For example: Karma spell! If you cast it with intent to do harm, you're asking for someone to hurt you. It does take time, a lot of time.
You have to also make changes in your lifestyle if you want big things to happen. If you want to lose weight, doing a spell is a great place to start. But You still HAVE to eat healthier, exercise regularly, and put in effort. If you want someone who is hurting you to go to jail and pay for their abuse to you, you need to document it, call the police, and be strong during the scariest parts. You cannot do a spell and expect it to just happen for you instantly.
I did that money spell a while back- Now I'm getting tons of over time at work, I do odd jobs for two places, and I fill in whenever someone needs me at a third place. This in turn gives me more money! Yes, I work harder, but those opportunities weren't there before the spell.
Think long and hard what you're willing to give up to make a spell happen! If you obsess over one, and you want to know why it isn't working, you're putting the wrong kind of energy towards it. The Karma spell- My Ex husband called me up 2 months ago and asked me to relinquish his rights because he doesn't want to go to jail again! I told him to grow up and get a job. I get more child support, he gets the fear of starting over thrown at him. It's a win win. My kids know what kind of man he is after 14 years. I never hid his behavior towards us. Keep in mind, during that conversation, he didn't once ask how the kids are...
Use your common sense also! Magic doesn't work overnight! A money spell is great if you're willing to be open to the doors it opens for you.
I want to lose at least 115#, I gave myself a reasonable deadline. June 2019- my daughter's high school graduation. If I lose more, it's icing on the cake! But what do I have to do to get there? What am I willing to give up? As of Monday, I'm giving up whatever they tell me I need to! I am going to exercise for hours every day if they tell me I have to. Whatever it takes! But I will be lighter by the time my daughter graduates high school!
I also love aromatherapy, natural healing, and witchy shops make me feel good.
This summer, I'm going to write regularly about this huge life changing event of weight loss for me.
Please don't be offended that I'm changing my blog slightly! I have to get my witch self healthy so I can really enjoy magic like I used to. The healthier I feel the more magical I become. <3
With
Love and Light
Merry we meet, merry we part, merry we meet again.
Blessed Be
