This week, it finally happened. I cleared and cleaned my creative work spaces. Now, it is time to grab the cell phone and get some good pictures that can become lasting memories.
Tomorrow, I will do the same in my dining room and library. Next week, I will work my way through the rooms upstairs, my witch´s den, and our living room.
After that, the kitchen, the utility room, and my husband´s den are up for a makeover too. A little extra every day is all what it takes to get things done.
And I have promised myself to do exactly that. Despite my many ailments, it is possible to find the necessary extra source of energy. It makes me happy and proud that I´m able to contribute and help again.
I admit frankly that I had two of the bad days during the week. I slept a lot, I tried to relax as much as possible, and I used writing to get in a higher mood and drawing to calm down again.
I accomplished something this week, and for the first time this year I have finally found my little extra energy. There is plenty of time to do what I love to do after I finish tidying my beloved home.
On Sunday, I will work with witchcraft again. It has been a while since I did that. But things have changed for the better here, and therefore I can relax enough to meditate, create beautiful rituals, and count my blessings.
Today, it is family time with good food, sweet children, and meaningful conversations. Our little rainbow clan has moved on by now. So it´s back to business, to living in the present moment, and to show happiness.
Inner peace is essential here, and therefore we stand together and fight whatever challenges life throws at us. Good health comes with less stress, anxiety, and trouble. Then kindness is more likely to occur.
A little extra every day helps when it feels difficult to accomplish anything. It is so mentally enriching to overcome procrastination, and it is way easier to create something beautiful and practical at the same time.
I have fresh coffee in my cup, there are lit candles and beautiful flowers on my creative desk, and the Sun shines from a clear October sky. It is a bit chilly, but nevertheless, the little wise, old dog will get his walk soon.
My anxiety moves a bit in its corner, my bipolar disorder tries to make me feel miserable, and my ADHD preaches procrastination. But I have something to keep them silent.
My counselor and I have discussed what to work with in the next couple of months. I have asked for professional advice regarding especially my bipolar disorder, which can be difficult to understand and respond to.
We will also work in depth with my anxiety and whatever comes along the way. The goal is for me to become a master of my everyday in a manner that corresponds with the needs of my loved ones.
Therefore, I have asked for professional advice to how I speak with them about my challenges for life. I need to learn when to choose to have a necessary conversation, when to keep silent, and when to just be me.
Today, my reward for the cleaning is to write this blog post. Tomorrow, it will be to go through six ring binders filled with creative ideas, drawings, and templates for many a creative project.
On Sunday, the recompense is a whole day full of witchcraft. I need to plan two very different rituals. The first one is between friends, and it has been postponed enough now.
The other is my Samhain ritual for October 31 2020. It is so important to me, because I had to cancel both my ritual for Lammas and Mabon due to private events that have taken up all my time until now.
So, next week, my dear friend and I will meet in my witch´s den to create magick together. And at Samhain, I will invite my sweet husband to a beautiful and mentally enhancing ritual.
A little extra every day makes it possible to unite the practical with the creative drive that I love so much to work with. I have already a picture in progress for my dear husbond to enjoy.
So, to get through it all, I will make a list to work from this Fall. I have many creative ideas which I want to work in depth with. Now, I also have the necessary extra energy to put action behind my words.
I also need to think through as to where this blog is headed next year. It will take me a couple of weeks to make monthly plans which I used in the beginning of this blog.
So, there are plenty of things to do this Fall. Now, I will take the liberty to relax and enjoy the remains of the day. May your weekend be merry, peaceful, and memorable, dear readers and followers.
