In Which I Declare Partial Success
Today was supposed to be dedicated to three tasks:
1. Getting my spiritual direction business website into something resembling a functional state
2. Creating an altar for Inanna in my bedroom - across the room from my Ereshkigal altar
3. Engaging in a private ritual this evening
Things -- as usual -- have not gone quite as planned. After a week of feeling engaged and excited about the website work, including scribbling notes during the day, I ran into all kinds of resistance once the actual work was at hand. However, I have succeeded in creating an almost-ready-for-publication home page, and have the rest of the site mapped out. Now I can start filling in the blanks. I'd hoped to have more actual content by this time, but at least I have a strong start and some momentum. I still have most of tomorrow to work on it as well.
The Inanna altar has been waiting on getting a shelf installed on my wall, and my dad helped me with that this morning. I don't have a blue-and-silver cloth, which is something that's been part of the design idea from the beginning, but I do have some other nice things, including a blue candle, a new statue, and a wall hanging that says "Only those who risk going too far find out how far they can go." Which is a very Inanna-like statement. She's the poster child for "going too far." Now all I have to do is go upstairs and arrange the elements.
As for the private ritual. . . I had kind of expected to be engaged in that prior to the current time of 7:45pm, but everything else has taken longer than expected. I need to have a light snack and head upstairs so I can meet that commitment.
There will be dancing.
I'm trying to not let that worry me.
