Creating, Nesting, Simplifying (Not Necessarly in that Order)

Oh and sleeping....lots of sleeping. This pregnancy is really starting to catch up with me. I am absolutely enormous and although I feel good, I am tired.

A Few Recent Sewing Projects

Creating: Baby/Toddler wardrobes, Birthday Gifts, Maternity Clothes, Wands, Father's Day Gifts (I am planning a full post on my new wand creations once they are fully embellished).

Nesting: Creating, Cleaning, Simplifying

Simplifying: Assessing what we really need and what should be donated, Streamlining daily schedules, etc...

Finding a Witch

As a little girl, I told my parents that I preferred being barefoot because I could feel the Earth breathing through the soles of my feet. Of course, with their typical conservative piousness, I was quickly shushed and informed that the Earth did not breathe. Even though I never mentioned it again, I didn't for a moment believe them.

For many years, I communed silently with the elements and in times of need used childish spell work to pull healing from the Earth and soothing from the Wind. It was my secret superstition and I hid it well beneath my fundamentalist Christian costume.

After being freed from the church for several years, I begin to pursue the secret knowledge I have carried with me all this time. That is how I got here: joyfully practicing the old faith in this little apartment. I'm still in the broom closet most days and I have a lot to learn, but the journey has begun.

A Wise Word:
