Lets just paint a picture really quick. I’m working until 2:30/3:00 AM. Waking up at 7AM with my kid, and I’m just trying to enjoy a cup of sugar (aka my coffee which is more like a milkshake but ya know). I see projectiles flying at me from behind a couch. To my utter surprise, my son has decided to launch poop grenades at me, while also painting my walls. Follow that up with him wasting about $500 in groceries between sugar, eggs, flower, cat food and litter, and cleaning spray because the HUNDREDS of dollars of toys just ISNT ENOUGH FOR HIM. Who would have thought?! So at this point I’m running on stress, some coffee, and a whole lot of “What the F*ck” moments…
On a positive note, I have been nominated for “Best Bartender” in our local “Best of Sedalia” contest! So if you wanna go vote for me, I would SOOO greatly appreciate that! But lets be real. I’ve been working…. SOOOO much. If I’m not behind the bar, I’m behind the tasmanian devil cleaning up disasters of apocalyptic proportion. Literal. Poop. On. My. Walls. I just love hand painted murals, but like…. can we stick with paints and markers please? And as IF that wasnt enough to handle, we just had to drop a huge chunk of change fixing a shattered back windshield and a broken HVAC unit in our house. We cannot catch a break!
With that being said, I have 100% been in a downward spiral. I’ve made no time for myself or my craft. And let me tell you what, I feel as disconnected as EVER. So over the next few days, I am going to force myself into some minor rituals. While i shower I’m going to envision the water cleansing away my bad luck and sleepiness. When I stir my coffee I will stir it with intentions for my day. I need to spend even more money ordering some new candles because I am OUT… I AM GOING TO DO BETTER FOR MYSELF THIS WEEK. I DESERVE THAT. And don’t forget that you do too. Make sure you’re making time for yourself and your hobbies. Do not let the world or your phone or parenting or your relationship consume you. Take charge in your life. You matter too!
My goals for this next few weeks are
- 1 Ritual or 1 Witch Lesson a day
- Focus on the Positive (the negativity is consuming)
- Reduce screen time by a minimum 2 hours a day.
- Cook 1 new recipe a week from a cook book.
To kick start goal, here is something I need to study. Specifically in Tarot meanings.
- Wands means YES (with some work from you)
- Cups means it will come to you naturally
- Pentacles means it will come but with a price
- Swords means NO
- Major Arcana means “Good Luck”
I might be exhausted, overwhelmed, and in serious need of a mop and a margarita…
But I’m still a witch. And I’m still here. See you next time!
