Sacred, Soulful, Sexy September!!!

It only took nine months but it's finally here... September (ok it will be here tomorrow, but I couldn't wait).

I know for most people in the Pagan community October/Samhain/Halloween is their favorite time of the year, and for good reason, it's a highly magical time. For me however that time of year is the entire month of September, for some reason all my Sacred, Soulful, Sexy life moments happen in September.

Let's start with September is my birthday month, I'll proudly be turning 41 this year and for the first time in a long time I'm looking forward to what the next year and beyond that holds for my life.

Next up is I married my best friend and soul-mate in September, we both had to walk different paths in life until fate sent us down the same path and we found each other, and it must be said he came into my life right when I needed him most. I am super excited about this years anniversary because we are celebrating 13 years and I love the number 13 or me it's a lucky number. I'm hoping to do a super sexy dinner for him this year and have my eye on a book or two he wants.

I also share my birthday month with some awesomely Wicked Women, first I share my birthday with the lovely Lorelei Eliora, and we share the month with Lenora Henson and Joanna DeVoe, Happy Birth Month ladies I hope your month is as magical as mine.

Last up on my month of celebration is Mabon or the Autumn Equinox. the thing that makes mabon extra special for me is 14 years ago I was drawn to September and Mabon to dedicate myself to walking my Witchy path.

To celebrate this magical month, I will be sharing some magical moments from my life as well as some yummy recipes and maybe a lil something extra towards the end of the month. I hope you all have a wonderful month and a wickedly good time too!!!

An Exciting Time Full Of Changes!!!

The past week has been full of excitement for me, and that excitement has led to some big decisions being made; those decisions are leading to big changes for me.

The first big change is at 41 years old I'm going back to school!!! Let me explain; I have been passionate about crystal healing and for that matter all things concerning holistic healing, I have toyed with the idea of becoming a Certified Crystal Healer; I have also had to deal with most of the people in my life putting me down and telling me what I can't do, so I have been hesitant about getting my certification.

This Image was found on Google

Getting certified has been weighing on me a lot lately so I decided to talk to my husband about it and express my passion about it; to my surprise(I don't know why I was surprised) told me if that's what I wanted to do then I should do it.

So I found a great school and teacher(both are certified and accredited), the only problem is the cost; I have 3 teenage daughters one of which is a senior this year and that cost a ton of money and as much as I want to be selfish and use and extra money on myself, my daughters have always and will always come first. So I decided to ask for help and started a Go Fund Me campaign.

I feel really awkward doing this, I don't like feeling like a beggar, but I truly want to become certified and take that certification and help others.

That leads to the second part of the big changes. My best friend "L" approached me and ask if I wanted to start a holistic wellness center with her. I was like "ok this is weird" I explained to her about my conversation with my hubby and what my plans were; We both agreed that it was meant to be.

This is extremely important to me, I did not finish high school, and have been put down or that my entire adult life. So I not only want to do this for myself but to prove to my daughters that if you put your mind to it you can do anything no matter what others think or say.

If you can help that's great, if not I understand and all I ask is you share this link with others,

Many Blessings

Fun, Surprises, and Pain

The past week (Mon.-Mon.) has been a mixed bag for me; it started out awesomely because my best friend came home from her yearly trip to Sturgis. For those who don't know what Sturgis it's a week long bike rally in the city/town of Sturgis, SD. and it rocks!

As I was saying my bestie just got home from her trip and as she always does brought me lots of goodies and I want to share them with you.

In this pic we have a Sturgis 2014 shirt, earrings, and a few of the many natural stones from right off the ground. 

These are other stones she brought home, there is Rhodochrosite, Blue Kyanite, Turquoise, and a beautiful Rose Quartz Pendent.

Of all The pretties my favorites are the butterfly earrings and the stone below.

She knows I have a thing for butterflies and she keeps me well supplied :-)

I think this beauty speaks for its self, not 100% sure what it is yet, but I can tell you its energy is off the charts!

After all the fun and excitement of her being home, we got back to our regular gym routine; we go everyday, Monday - Friday. Then I got a big surprise on Friday; the hubby and I would be witchlett free for the entire weekend (this is very rare for us), and we decided to make the most of it and do stuff that we don't normally get to do. 

We decided to go to the Flea market and look for treasures, but, as my luck normally goes, what started off as fun ended in pain. Yep, I said pain. As we were walking, my left foot started hurting; and the more we walked, the pain just got worse. So we called it a day, and for that matter, a wrap on our weekend. We spent the rest of the weekend at home with my foot on ice until I could see the doctor on Monday. 

Well, after seeing the doctor and having x-rays done, the one thing I know for sure is that it's not broken, which is good, but we still don't know exactly what's wrong with it. He said it's either arthritis or fasciitis; either way, I'm not to use the foot for a week and use anti-inflammatory meds.

My foot doing nothing and being bored LOL

I do have to say, the bright side of this doing nothing thing is the wonderful gift Magaly of Pagan Culture gave me, or should I say gave us :-)

Yep! Witches in Fiction is back, and yes I will be participating again this year; for all the fun and details, check out Magaly's blog by clicking the pic above or the button in my side bar.

Now, I must be off to think of some crafty ideas for this year.....
