This afternoon, my dear friend and I spent about an hour going through my wardrobe. It´s been a while since I did that. And how it helped with an extra pair of eyes to decide what to keep and what to let go of.
The next time, we´ll look at her stuff and do the same next door. The weather is more than fair, and I´m in my sixth week of only a few small anxiety attacks.
Everything feels so much easier without that eerie feeling of intense anxiety. Happening over a couple of weeks is a bond for life evolving. Between my friend and me, she is like a daughter to me.
She is also my drawing teacher, so we spend a lot of time together, which I genuinely appreciate. Tonight, we will be drawing at my place again. And we´ll enjoy each other´s company,
It is Summer in September, and the world spins even faster than usual. There is change on the way, and, inevitably, I believe that we have only begun a brand new journey with a virus on the loose.
This year is crazy to the bone, it is both challenging and demanding, and it is a time of restrictions coming and going, depending on how crazy people in general act.
Therefore, I´m happy to be in my high mood right now. Challenging times are right ahead of us here in Denmark, as the daily numbers are rising, we can only gather fifty people at a time, and more may be on the way.
Therefore, I turn even more to writing, drawing, and witchcraft. My ritual is now set for next week. And this weekend, I will be planning and creating it, for it is time for a ceremony to remember.
And therefore, I discuss everything and nothing with my family and my friends to divert myself from the news stream and what follows in the wake of the virus.
I´m currently working with a couple of ideas for this blog late October, at the time for my favorite Sabbath, Samhain. Lammas and Mabon, well, things just happened sooner than expected.
Sometimes life happens, while you are busy making other plans, as the late musician John Lennon once said. And I know that with time, I will return to write more about witchcraft than I do these months.
Now, it is Summer in September, and my husband and I are to celebrate our monthly anniversary with a delicious dinner. Tomorrow, we´ll spoil each other with a little extra time for ourselves.
Today, I´m listening to thundering drums and screaming guitar riffs, to soft, calming music, and to fast speed tracks, as my mood is festive, happy, and content.
My current emotional state, however, is a funny and sometimes scary experience. I cry for absolutely no reason, but the feelings inside me are in turmoil this month.
On September 28, 2020, it is six years ago that my mother passed the Rainbow Bridge. And I still cry my heart out around this time of year. At the same time, I laugh out loud and long about anything.
My menopause has to take the blame, for I´m in a better mood than the first half of the year. Actually, I haven´t felt so good for a couple of years, so today, I´m celebrating the ups and downs in life.
I´m busy, too. I have three drawings on the table right now. And my deadline is Wednesday next week. There is a ritual to plan. And a good marriage to enrich.
So, I´ll leave you, for now, dear readers and followers. May your weekend be inspiring, fun, and life-affirming. And may the world slow a bit down, what´s the need for so much rush and trouble.
