Heatwave in Denmark 2021; I sit inside my house because the heat is way too much for me today. Not physically, my health is quite fine, thank you. Mentally, however, I´m releasing a toxic relationship that became more than too much.
And I´m waiting for the opportunity to great the mighty Sun on the Sabbath of Litha/the Summer Solstice. So, this weekend, I dedicate myself to creating a small but beautiful ritual for Monday, June 21, 2021.
Year two with the Coronavirus and all the bullshit in its wake, pardon my French.
Last year was crazy in its own right. But 2021 keeps surprising me. I believe that things happen for a reason and that there are life lessons to learn whenever change turns up. So, for better or worse, I try to live in the present moment and leave the past behind as a sweet yet thorny memory.
This Spring brought a break-up from a toxic relationship that, however hurtful, was doomed some time ago. Unfortunately, it took its toll on both my husband and me. But we are okay and happy now, thank you, dear Universe.
In return, we got our personal freedom back. Our self-respect is recovered, and it became essential to renew an old relationship where both parties have learned from their mistakes.
This Friday, however, is for my husband and me only. Perhaps a small bonfire in the garden later this evening. We need to recharge the batteries after a long, hot week.
Waiting for the Summer Solstice is, at the same time, slightly mixed emotions because once again the Wheel of the Year turns, and we turn with it, no matter if we want to or not. So, from Monday on, the Sun will gradually lose its power, and Winter will again begin to lurk around each corner.
The summer is short yet so intense and seemingly eternal.
Yesterday, I went through my wardrobe; now there´s nothing left except what I like to wear. The rest goes to people in need somewhere in the world. So today, I tidied my creative den, and if I have some leftover energy, I will go through my witch´s den this weekend before the ritual on Monday.
But my primary creative energy will be spent on my writing adventures. My printer is delayed until July 23, so there is plenty of time to read extra materials and create valuable and relevant notes for my novels.
My next creative project is to prime a couple of canvasses with the color black. I´m used to painting on a white canvas, but I can also create something beautiful on a black canvas.
This week also brought a minor mental meltdown, probably due to the stress that we have endured during Fall, Winter, and Spring. Fortunately, my counselor made me think of more positive things so that I could re-direct my energy to something life-affirming instead.
May your weekend be stress-free and beautiful, dear readers and followers.
