toes, toes, toes and grounding

I've had vibram KSO'S for a year now but had to put them away for a while due to cold temperatures.

Took them out today because lately we've been getting warm  temperatures and little rain, but right after I take them out it started snowing...yup that sucks, but I just had to put them on anyways even though I can't wear them outside yet.

I love these because I can feel everything under me
with them which helps when I need to ground myself.
I can't always go barefoot, so these are the next
best thing.

Sorry if the pictures look odd, I had to take them with my phone because my camera is missing.

It's a bit cold here today, I might actually have to turn up the heat or bake something.







anyways, I'm off to run around on the internet. If I see anything interesting I'll come right back

toxic people

Do you know of anyone toxic?
I do and survived to tell the tale,
seriously though some personalities just do not get along no matter what you do or for how long you try to make it work.

I just survived a weekend with my mother, she's a nice person so I've been told and I'm a nice person so she's been told, but for some reason if you stick the two of us in the same building we turn evil and go on rampages. Sadly my father and sister often get caught in the crossfire.
We try to make it work and it does work...for the first hour or so. But the last few days on a road trip with her has just reminded the both of us why I moved out in the first place.
We can tolerate small doses of each other on a weekly or biweekly bases for the sake of family.

Needless to say we both after going our separate ways needed to de-stress, hit a punching bag, yell then crash for a day. We're very much similar and we love each other but would probably end up killing each other in short time.


I'm happy to be home with my hubby, my candles and my art work.


I'm outta here

the wind moon/seed moon and my week

The wind moon is coming up on Friday, also known as the seed moon. I have to do my planting a few days early this year as this weekend for me will be crazy.

I still have many plants left from last year still which I work with nearly daily but this year I'm also planting some garlic.
A few days ago I started the garlic in a cup of water and some paper towel because I wasn't sure about the bulbs I had that were left over.But sure enough this morning when I looked there were 5/6 bulbs sprouting roots which I placed in soil today.

I just found out from my friend Anima (her screen name) that she has been referring people from yahoo answers over to this little blog here. Anima is a good friend of mine who follows a little bit of a different path but loves sending new people my way.
For that I say sorry I'm not a little more active. I wish I was but I seem never to know what to post here. If you have questions I'll do my best to answer them.

This weekend is a busy one because I have family who are non pagan, well I should say very catholic family who have invited me over for the weekend to celebrate with them. I may not celebrate for the same reason they celebrate but I am going to have fun with my family and I can't wait for all the news about new arrivals, weddings and who's expecting.
After this weekend my sister also invited me on a little road trip about 5 hours south of here to get out of town and see new sights. (we're both broke so shopping is out) we'll be staying 1 night possibly 2 and just sight seeing.
It's a larger city for sure and very different, I don't really like the place so I'm just going to spend more time with my sister.

Well I'm off to cook a little snack.

art, family and speed friending

Well I got a request for some commissions again, not too much just a few charcoal drawings roughly picture sized by Monday... wait it's Friday. Shoot I have 3 nature pictures to draw by Monday noon. *sigh*
I really need to look at the calendar more often. I honestly thought that is was Wednesday until I logged into here.
The commissions may need to be done by Monday but I still have other pictures to do this and next week for family. My parents figured out that I can draw now I have family pictures to do, 3 down and 3 more to go...possibly a fourth.

Speed Friending... yeah it sounds weird to me as I have never heard of it before but why not try it right? At worst I'll have some funny stories to tell when I get back.
A local coffee shop is hosting it next Friday night and I think I'm just bored enough to try it seeing as all my commissions should be done by then.
If you are in the Fort McMurray area the coffee house is called cocojoes and the details can be found on the snap website http://www.snapwoodbuffalo.com look at the calendar under the 9th and maybe we'll meet? maybe not? meh we'll never know will we. But it looks like something that can either be extremely boring, awkward or hilarious. Either way it's something new, and I've enlisted a friend just in case it turns out to be a bust, she's been up here for a while and doesn't make friends easily so look for a girl with a dragon pentacle necklace and say hi to her, I'm the redhead that'll be laughing and poking her.


See ya

A question

I got an email last night that read

"How is 'Merry meet' and 'Blessed be' used?

Are these greetings to be used in certain curcumstances or like you say hello?
If in curcumstances please feel free to elaborate."

Myself, I have heard Blessed Be used as a sigh of relief before but other than that I have no other knowledge or any other usages. 

Anybody else know? 

if you do can you answer in the comments?

pain

This morning I have come to the conclusion that us women must be biologically altered to be self serving masochists.

Honestly we are the only ones in the animal kingdom that will question our own intelligence while waxing or while doing general hair removal that hurts but when it's all done will still go back a few days later for more.
Not only that but mother nature helps too for those during puberty and before menopause for at least a week a month.

What brought on this idea?

This evil thing brought on this train of thought....one leg down and I'm about to go back for more.

*face palm*

I'm lazy

well maybe not soo much lazy, just forgetful.

Today I accomplished sewing 4 bags for tarot and oracle decks, fixed a night shirt that had a hole, cleaned a bit of the apt with my fiancee and...now I'm cooking supper.

Yeah I think I need a group of people to bug. I'm starting to get more into the craft but I need a little more motivation.
Looking around town I couldn't find any coffee chats or anything but I know there are plenty of pagans here, they just don't get together. So I'm thinking of making a coffee chat on sundays at different coffee houses. I know of 4 places that we can rotate but I just need to find people. And that's the hard part. But I'm trying.

Wish me the best?

of and if you are in the woodbuffalo area of alberta leave a comment and I can send you the location of the chat.
