7th Week

  I am finally getting some of this caught up! I am behind on my reading, but in my defense, I have a husband, kids, and a household that take a lot of my time and energy. I wasn't going to walk to the library today, even though it is my day to do so (laundry is behind, and I have no outside pants!), but I think I had better. I did some housework, and all I can think about is how much more I need to do today. I think a walk will help a lot.
  I took on a role in Northern Roots, and now I am doing the Healer position. I have been thinking about what that means, and planning some of the things I want to do as the Healer. I am considering writing rituals for healing energies to be done as a group, writing prayers to be used in conjunction to herb/candle work, etc. I think I will also put together a "healing list", that members of the Grove can put on their prayer concerns on. I want to have a Grove candle, a home candle, and a world candle. Keeping things separate like that may help with when I have the energies to send out. Also, perhaps something with the Moon cycles. So many ideas! I definitely need to get to the library and write this all out in my notebooks.
  Today is a little scattered inside my head. So this post won't be very coherent, much more of a brain dump so I can focus on the tasks at hand. I did sit and share tea with Brighid today...well, She got 2 Gingers whiskey, and I drank water. I am trying to cut back my drinking; I know I am an alcoholic, and I would like to keep it under strict control. Also, haven't been very good to my body lately, so water and walking is necessary. Another reason to go to the library...I am sensing a trend.
  Ok, time to get out into the sunshine, and complete this mission. 

6th Week and counting

  I never made it to the spot I wanted to meditate at. We were just too busy on the two days I would have had a chance. It's too far to walk with my knees the way they are recently, so I needed the car, and I don't have the car most of the time. Oh well...I can certainly try again next week. I think part of it is that I don't want to get too attached to the Spirits of this area, since in 5 months we are leaving.
  Right now, I am trying to get back to a schedule. I have missed a couple of weeks of going to the library to study. I still haven't finished A Brief History of the Druids. I haven't done much with my shrine and altar, haven't been doing my divination work, etc. I have let stuff slide yet again. I despise being depressed. Some days it takes all of my energy just to get up and do a small handful of things around here...some days, I can't even do that, and my kids and hubby take up the slack. Anyway...
  Today I am going to start small. I will walk to the library, sit and catch up on the various home work that I have neglected, or at least make a dent in it, haha! I will draw a card from my Oracle deck and study the meaning. I will sit and breath. I can do this, and I will...
