Ah, Insomnia... I have not spent time with you in quite a long time. However, here I am, up since 1AM, unable to get back to sleep. Some people haven't even gone to bed yet! I had this problem more often before my hysterectomy.  I'd get up in the wee hours of the morning for a bathroom visit and I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep.  So, while this is nothing really new for me, it's not my norm anymore. So, I'll sit here, drink a warm beverage, and do some research.  At least I can be somewhat productive with this added time to my day without waking anyone else. However, moments like this make me wish my altar wasn't in the bedroom so I could make something that would maybe help me get back to sleep....

So my day went better yesterday once I vented.  Thanks for that. After my blogging, I went outside and did some weeding around part of our driveway (it's HUGE, so I couldn't get it all done in one day).  I then drank some tea, meditated, and cleaned around the house some.  And, in that time, made peace with all that was troubling me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I ordered some witchy things the other day.  Once every couple of months I add to my collection.  I am SO glad these things came in when they did!  I'll post links and pictures once my phone gets off of punishment (it hasn't been keeping a charge at all). The place I ordered from is here --  Magick Planet So, I ordered two ADORABLE little dragons to add to my decor around my altar space I FINALLY bit the bullet and got myself a mortar and pestle.  I am SO stoked about this purchase.  I've looked for months for just the right thing. I got a new Oracle deck!  I have only heard thing...

Ah, the boredom.   The fairies garden is the only place I don't feel the boredom.  I'm either pulling grass and weeds, making something new for it, or researching how to make plants happier.  I have a black thumb, but I'm determined.  I never thought I'd feel so connected to the outdoors again.  We went fishing the other day (yes, I know we should stay home).  I needed the outdoors and peace.  It was so quiet, and the air was so fresh. Staying away from people isn't a problem for me.  I love the solitude and being surrounded by my family.  My daughter is home from boarding school for good until either Summer school or next semester.  Sadly, my son and husband still have to work.  I'm glad for the income, because so many are without and that'd add stress to an already thin balance.  However, with my suppressed immune system self, it's kind of scary. I have made my protections.  I often do little things to ma...

I come to you today from my back yard.  It's going to be another really hot day in South LA.  However, with the breeze as it is, nature called to me.  I was going to write from my altar today...let's just call this another altar. I had the Pagean radio station blaring for a while.  I turned it off now.  The birds are so vocal this morning!  The crickets are telling me the temperature.  I am blessed to live in a country setting.  Sure, I still hear the neighbor's dogs barking and the other neighbor yelling a his dog....but it's so peaceful nonetheless. Oh...and I can't forget the cat that's been my shadow the past week... This whole virus thing has had me thinking so much more lately.  My son works in a store that is considered essential.  My husband works in a profession also labeled as such.  So they're exposed daily.  My daughter is home from boarding school.  She and I spend most days in the house.  Thankfu...
