Faith, Trust, & Pixie Dust...

♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥
Just a little update on what’s happenin’ in my neck of the woods.
Well…

We saw the sun today – you know that bright yellow orb in the sky that has been MIA since Christmas?
And can I just say – marvelous to see you again sun!
Maybe that groundhog was on to something – six more weeks until Spring -- and I can just pretend I didn’t hear that vicious rumor that another snowstorm was heading our way this week.
As long as it waits until after Tuesday night so we can have Goddess Group after a month long hiatus – I will be happy!

In other news: I have been an eating machine lately.
WTF?!?!
I try so hard and did relatively well during the holidays only to toss all my hard work to the wayside in January? Senseless I tell you – and every single morning I wake up with the thought that *today is the day* -- the day I get back on track.
And it doesn’t help that I noticed my running shoes that have been hibernating under my bed poking out and eyeballing me disapprovingly yesterday morning.
Up until that moment; if someone had asked me where they were I wouldn’t have known.
Tsk tsk!
Maybe writing these words is the catalyst I need?

Either way – I MUST GET BACK ON TOP OF THINGS -- I WILL GET OUT AND EXERCISE THIS WEEK SO HELP ME!

The photog biz is coming along – I still have a ways to go with getting everything set up, but I am hoping come Spring I will start shooting some outdoors sessions. I have had a couple of inquiries so progress is being made and I am super stoked about the whole prospect!
I want this so badly…

Work at The Studio has been great! I love being back in that element again – even if it is chaotic at times. I rather enjoy the chaos and love the gals I work with!

The kids are good…
Although I suspect Skylar is hitting the *terrible twos* a wee bit early. She has been so sassy lately and fully stressing her independence and need to communicate her feelings.
I suppose it’s a normal for someone her age – but I guess I forgot how they go from being this sweet clingy baby to a little being with opinions, wants, and needs that they have no qualms expressing in any fashion they deem fit.

I fully admit to getting frustrated at times but overall she is an amazingly exceptional baby and just so smart!

I am proud that my 19 month old daughter is speaking in sentences and able to express herself so well; albeit with a foot stomp and a whiney pout at times.
And when the temper tantrums really start to wear me down I just tag team Daddy in and let him take over for a bit!

Besides...

Who in their right mind could stay frustrated at those baby blues and sweet blonde tendrils?
*smile*

Overall life is pretty good.
I wish finances were better – won’t even lie about that – and I have been doing some spellwork to remedy that in regards to basic prosperity, door opening, and creativity candle magick and spells.
I see manifestations – not always the way we expected – but results nonetheless.
I just must remain diligent and keep the faith!

What is that cute little saying?
*All you need is faith, trust, and a little pixie dust.*
I like that…

And am I too hold to have that on my bedroom wall?

Blessed Be…

Run...

So yeah... I know I totally chinze out when I make an entire post in pictures. But this blog is my *place* to just tell MY story. And what better way than in pictures. What can I possibly say that a picture cannot?

I adore photography and the story it tells...

So what's new?

Oh yeahhhhh...

GINORMOUS news.

I RAN A MILE TODAY.

Consecutively might I add.

I am so ridiculously proud of myself i could just burst! ME!!!! I ran!!!! It's almost too intensely weird to even say... errr write. But I did it, and I will do again. And do it longer! And I kinda owe it to a *challenge* (they are a Weight Watcher staple if you use the online tools) on the WW site. I need to run a 5K (3.1 miles) by Thanksgiving. I am sure I can do it and it will only prepare me for my half-marathon for next year.

I AM running that marathon dammit!

Affirmation for Today: If you see it... you can attain it!

I thought that ALL afternoon and I ran a mile. I saw myself doing it and I actually did it. WOW! Never, EVER underestimate the power of positive thinking!!!!

Sadly there was no Goddess Group tonight, which is a major bummer. They are replacing the sidewalks immediately in front of the shop and apparently wet concrete needs 48 hours to dry? Who knew? Certainly not I... but this is why we have no group tonight. And I am not the only disappointed *goddess*... everyone seemed pretty disenchanted.

We have all built a rapport and I think, well I at least, look forward to seeing these women and sharing this experience with them every week. All on top of learning more about Paganism and even myself. A win/win/win situation!

Angela is offering a class on elemental work tomorrow... tentatively at least. I may sneak out tomorrow and take it? I need my *fix* for the week... and honeslty it is my *ME* time... other than running of course.

Can I call it *running* now?

Am I a runner?

Wow... what a nice thought. If I am of course.

I am changing in so many wonderful and positve ways and I am elated because of it all!

Blessed Be...

An Exciting Time...

I had to really force myself to get out and walk today. Once I step foot out the door I was so glad I did. I need to walk; daily even. I want to be jogging by next month and running by the beginning of the new year. And let's not even get into how impatient I am to get some of this weight off my body. But that is a whole other issue!

I want to run The Rock 'n' Roll Marathon next August.

It's inaugural run in Providence mind you. Yeah, my wedding will be slightly under two weeks after said half-marathon... but I am feeling pretty adventurous these days. Invincible even!

I can do it!

Here is the link if any of my MANY readers (still zero readers as of this date... heh-heh!) care to check it out...

So freakin' cool and SO me!

I am ashamed to admit that I have let my Pagan work go to the wayside the past few days. I took a workshop this week titled *Moon Magick* and learned so much and sadly haven't put any of it to use. There is a part of me that wants to get everything (i.e. my altar, spells, Book of Shadows, and tools) fully in order before I begin to seriously work on such things. And I am thinking that I will get it all taken care of before the full moon on the 23rd... or even wait until the 25th when we have Drum Circle followed immediately by Open Circle that same evening.

I love Open Circle.

Next weekend one of my best friends and I are taking a day trip to Salem. MA. I cannot even begin to say how stoked I am for this trip! Neither of us have been. I know, I know... shame on us for living so ridiculously close and not getting there before now. I could make up a million valid and not-so-valid excuses, but I will spare us all.

I have a list of things and place I want to do... but the top of my list is to purchase a new tarot deck. I am longing for this new deck!

So many things to look forward to...

An exciting time in my life!

Blessed Be...
