HOLY CRAP! What a time its been! Between new meds, a house full of sickness, and spring fever hitting – life as we know it has become even more chaotic than I thought possible! During this time its absolutely important to find a few minutes a day to ground yourself and mildly plan. Ive found making a jar with my “To-do’s” in it and just pulling a random one when i have time helps me get more tasks accomplished. I’m going to set up a new one that has topics on it that are Witch based so I can pull one and do a bit of research.
Back in my school days, I could research things for hours. I was such a little sponge. Now, I have too many Sleep Token and Falling In Reverse lyrics in my head to remember much of anything. I rely heavily on flashcards and notes and books with marked pages for information. I now crave knowledge but spend so much time looking into everything I retain nothing. My phone addiction definitely isn’t helping. I am so eager to learn new things but have little to no self direction to do it properly. Maybe one day I will follow the goal of using my blog as a hand holder, but I will admit that its a bit discouraging with so few views. It comes with time and it’s not instant gratification but man… its a struggle!
The Study of….
One of the biggest topics of interest for me right now is herbalism. I am working on making spell jars currently while trying to lead my family to a healthier lifestyle. I’m looking into herbalistic studies and trying to guide my family into holistic healing. While I am deep diving into the healthy versus unhealthy products in our food, I am still stuck to drinking my Dr.Pepper and store bought coffees. Healthy food and I have never gotten along. Luckily three of the five of my family members love to eat healthy so this transition will only be a partial struggle.
Honestly though I’m not going to make too many huge changes. My goal is to watch a bit more of what goes into our body. I will be homemaking more things to aid in what ingredients we ingest. I want us to have more herbal remedies for ailments instead of relying on pharmaceuticals. Just overall a more natural lifestyle. As we build our homestead we will be growing and hunting our own food and only buying from trusted sources, while also working to goo “off grid” of sorts. Now this is a bit of where I struggle. I enjoy the internet a bit too much to be completely off grid so I don’t know if that will go away, but we are hoping to supply our own power.
My goal with this is to have us live a bit happier and healthier of a lifestyle. Self sufficiency is really important to me given todays world. It seems very few people are reliable anymore. I say that as I sit here writing this, while eating mini MnMs, blasting some sort of Rick and Morty dubstep, and pausing to scroll the internet because my attention span is fried.
How will that help?
Well it might or might not. We may be so overdosed with chemicals there is no saving us, but one can hope. Also with my herbal studies for a healthy lifestyle, I will be studying their spirutal aspects as well to grow my spell journey. I am hoping to start adding stuff to my etsy (if witches are still allowed by the time i make them) while trying to grow a farmstand, AND looking to find another online site to sell them on. So I can sell healthy herbal teas and spell jars!
I am also hoping to try and grow a small community to share and learn things with through this blog. Whether you’re in your chaos mom era or just another fellow looking for a sense of community. Its so hard to find….not like minded individuals so much (well it is) but I mean….. its so hard to find people who can just get along. Its okay to have differing views. Just because we don’t agree doesn’t mean we cant get along. I cannot process the logic of “oh we disagree on one thing we can never speak again because you’re evil”. Its an opinion. Get over it. Humans would be robots if we didn’t have our own opinions.
How Do I plan to Do this?
Through lots of hope and prayer to the Gods. Honestly, I am just a basic witch. I really am. I am a baby. I don’t know what I am doing and I am hardcore stumbling in the dark. Between fake AI witches and people just trying to get attention, its been so hard to find any true information on where I should start back on this journey. Thanks to the chaos of my home this journey restarts about every week. So onto this next journey… CHICKENS! I now sit on 13 baby chicks and 9 adult hens. We got our first eggs the night we brough them home! Now to research and grow!
Thank you so much for your continued support of my blog! It means so much to me! Keep an eye out for my newest projects! I will be posting them for sale soon!
