Ostara/Spring Equinox/Beginning of Spring





Today, March 20th (4:02am Pacific Time), is the first day of SPRING!!!! 
 This is a time of creation and time to really start working the fields so we can watch our crops grow.  To the left are pictures of spring starting in my yard!

So now I take a look at my intentions and where I am currently and what I need to do to create the environment that my intentions can flourish.

1.  To become more physically, mentally and emotionally healthy.
Well I am doing that, though I have started slipping on the physically healthy but as of yesterday I created a new pledge to myself for walking and took a walk yesterday.  I am going to really try to work harder on this and create the time I need to take care of myself and allow this intention to grow.


2.  To focus on helping my son into adulthood and being present with him and understanding of his limitations and abilities.
This one has been frustrating as I am watching my son struggle so much with his school work.  Then I remembered that I need to just be present with him and to let him learn his own path which may include failure if that is what he needs to find his way - for failure is only a challenge that we adapt to and become stronger. 

 3.  To find a way to become a therapist in the direction in which the Goddess leads me.
I am officially a therapist.  I have a place to practice and now I am just trying to find the connections to get clients.

4.  Continue to let go of the past and learn to live in the present and not to spend too much time obsessing about the future.
I am working on "My Quest for Peace" and continuing to live more in the present and living with more peace.  It is working and I am finding that peace and enjoying the moment.

I am finding that this time of year I am more creative with my ideas and more willing to take risks.  My main focus is on my new career and how to nurture it so it continue to grow.

Waiting....

Image
I feel like I am just stuck waiting ... waiting to figure out the next part of our lives.  We just have to keep waiting for answers, waiting for people to get in the office, waiting for this or that.  It is scary and hard since we cannot even figure out what our lives will be in a month and we don't know the best answers or what should we do.  Do we pack up and move far away or do we stay and gamble on more than a part time job.  Do we hang on here and plan or will we end up being broke and homeless.

Balance

I have been struggling with balancing my life.  I am one of those people who is often an all or very little person.  When I get tired or depressed or my body is hurting, I struggle to do even the basics.  The house gets messy quickly, everything gets backlogged and so forth. But then I get energy back or feel better and suddenly I have a really good day of cleaning and I am able to keep up for a few days or weeks and then I slide back.  I am trying to find the balance - today I am soar because yesterday I cleaned house for 8+ hours - so today I am taking it easier and picking up and keeping things clean but not taking on huge projects. Although I took care of 2 annoying things.   The Master Bath Toilet whistled loudly every time you flushed it so I took care of that and our alarm was telling us the keypad had low batteries so I took care of that.  Let's hope I can keep up with things for a bit.

Lughnasadh - Lammas - First Harvest

Image
    Lughnasadh (pronounced LOO -nə-sə ; Irish : Lúnasa ; Scottish Gaelic : Lùnastal ; Manx : Luanistyn ) is a traditional Gaelic holiday celebrated on 1 August in the northern hemisphere and 1 February in the southern . It originated as a harvest festival, corresponding to the Welsh Calan Awst and the English Lammas .  It is also known as Lammas or the First Harvest. For me this a time of reception.  A time when you get to "receive" the fruits of your harvest from the seeds you planted and tended this year. Quick note since I have not written about any other sabbats as of yet: Samhain - October 31/November 1 - Death and Decay - end\beginning new year Yule\Winter Solstice - around December 22nd - transformation Imbolc - Around February 1st - intention Spring Equinox - around March 21st - creation Beltane - May 1st - Expression Summer Solstice - around June 21st - Manifestation Lughnasadh\Lammas - August 1st - reception Autumn Equinox - around Sept...
