checking in . . .
after a month! Did anyone see March go by? I seem to have misplaced it!
So much to say that I find I have very little to say. Spring is trying so hard to arrive here in New England. Yesterday the thermometer tried to reach 70 but didn't quite make it. Today, it didn't get above 60 degrees. Rain is soaking the ground, the trees are loaded with buds, the birds are singing spring into being.
Life is good. Busy. Gorgeous. Luxuriant. Stimulating. Uplifting. Heart-opening. Generous and well, happy!
I spent last week in England with distance students there. So good to see them again face to face. I brought tons of new work with me thinking, 'I must be crazy. We'll never get through all of this." And yet, we did. Blossoming, darkening, opening, thirving Witches.
About a week before leaving I started my son on a new dietary and supplement/vitamin regime. I am astounded at the progress he's made.
For years, I've been teaching him how to recognize when he's about to go flailing over the edge. He is now catching himself! For so long we've worked on breath, grounding, centering and relaxation techniques. Now, he uses them independently. He lost it once while I was away and not a single time since. If anyone is interested in what supplements, diets and vitamins we are using, please email me off LJ.
I feel like shouting, "Look Mom! No Ritalin! No Amphetamines! No psychiatrists! No padded rooms!"
Getting ready for the intensive weekend in Colorado. Is that really only a week away? Can't wait to see everyone there!
I'm putting the finishing touches on a couple more online workshops that are a little less work-intensive, shorter in duration and perfect for Spring. Congratulations to the folks in Ink & Ecstasy and The Beauty We Love for sticking with it! The hard work is worth it when Joy barges through the door smiling wide and saying, "You called?"
Still plugging away on the book between raising two kids, working a bit at the nursing job and flying around on my broom-stick teaching. I have to remember to breathe, relax, forgive myself for not being a SuperHero and know that it will get done. I wouldn't be opposed though, if God Herself delivered me a team of assistants (wives? Cabana Bois?) and a big check so I could sit and write for three months.
I spent the better part of today putting together a fantastic Flower Essence Elixer for a good friend of mine. It's been a while since I've done that kind of healing magic for anyone other than myself and my kids. It felt really good. Really good! I absolutely love Flower Essences. They work in such a subtle and gentle manner. Combine them with Triple Will and they just rock. Long-standing hard to heal complexes feel like they just get loved away. Okay, that almost sounds like a laundry detergent commercial for "hard to remove stains!" LOL. I love connecting with the flowers, singing, chanting, loading them up with Life Force, making prayers and petitions . . . good magic! Hmm. Might be time to get back into the Laboratory and mix up some bath salts and spiritual cleansing tools while I'm in the mood.
That's all. I've been too silent. Just thought I'd pop my head into the living room and say "Hi!" Running off now to grab ahold of April before she follows March into the past!
