We are born, we grow, we change and social companionship feeds that growth. Positive energy insures the greatest growth and without that we shrivel and fall behind in our growth. Put down strong roots and whether you are a short shrub or a tall tree be happy with yourself. 
To know the goals of your soul just listen to your inner self and follow your instincts. Develop self-reflection and try to create balance in all the levels of your life and remember that kindness like the ripples in water reach far and wide.
This little creature has a body that is a glass vial in the shape of grape clusters with swirled silver and magenta and holds a collection of incantation charged polished rock chips and other tiny odds and ends and can be hung up in a window by the string of seed beads. She has movable arms that are made from recycled jewelry chains, wire and beads and hair of tiny pale gold colored wire. Once loved items and materials donated to a favored charity are now brought together and waiting to be loved once again.
I found this to be a very interesting topic and I wanted to share a little bit with you all. My memory has always been lacking, which made things harder in classes but I can read a paperback, enjoy it greatly and then read it again and get half way through before I realize that I already read it.
I have decided to be a Cyborg. Since the Doctor thinks I need a knee replacement I may as well go all the way or not at all. I will replace the knees so I can go hiking again, because that was the only way I ever loved to exercise. I might as well replace these fingers too because my Mother has had Arthritic fingers and hands for years and I am headed that way. Can I get one finger replaced with a thread seam ripper please and while your at it I may as well be know as "Emme Scissorhands" too. Instead of botox just give me a nice shiny metal dome that will never show a wrinkled brow and metallic permanently curled locks in a nice shade of silver slate. I may need to have my feet replaced with roller blades so I can really move around fast. Do you have a cell phone-Ipod-dvd- alarm clock with a timer that you could possibly insert behind one ear and I'll be good to go!
First and foremost all my prayers, positive thoughts and respect go to those whom were lost on 9-11 and all those souls whose lives were changed forever on that fateful day of immeasurable loss. Second please remember also 9-21 which is the International Day of Peace and pray with me that peace will reign soon over this world and it's inhabitants.
As I gather odds and ends while shopping at my favorite Thrift Museum I never really know what they will become, but I know in time they will inspire me to reincarnate them. It's a really good thing that my children are old enough to know that you can't eat beads. My husband complains that there is no "flat surface" in our home that is safe from my crafting, usually because I have more than one project going at a time. 
Saying goodbye to someone who is off to a new adventurous life, somewhat different from the life before. Someone once said it was like a ship sailing off toward the horizon and we are sad to see it go as it gets smaller and smaller. There is someone on the other side who is smiling and happy and saying "Here she/he comes" as the ship gets closer and closer.
Why not create yourself as a Super Hero fighting off a giant tiger or snake to save your town from disaster while looking a lot like a Barbie Doll minus the Prom Queen Dress. I was just playing with my Nymph today since it's Freaky Fun Friday and my computer has decided to behave for now, (jinx, jinx) knock on wood. I still have two Nymphs left and have sold two without putting them up for sale to neighbors who are insisting that they will be fine outside if brought in before it rains.
I just tried to up load this picture on my mystic2awesome blog and it would not cooporate....so I jumped over here and now it works. I will never understand the moodiness of my computer. Constantly barfing out messages like "low virtual memory" or the constant "loading....loading loop of lost brainage storage" or whatever. Or maybe it's these crazy fingers of mine or the keyboard is haunted by a haunted "enter" key which just acts on it's own. The maniac madness of the "delete" key is almost as bad. All said, I do hope you enjoy my woodsy picture anyway, while doing yard work I was hunting for woodland fairies. May you have a great Saint Patrick's Day !
Looking for that perfect bag or pouch to carry your most potent spell potions in? Need I say that it MUST be adorned with colors that carry protection within them and dangles to confuse even the most mischievous of spirits. You can't put those most favored items in just any old bag and hope to preserve their potency not to mention style and one of a kind uniqueness. These also have items sewn inside to offer extra protection and of course you can always add your own easily. Colors have always had a psychological element from the beginning of time. I wear a lot of black but always have something of color in my jewelry, scarves, bags and such to add more layers of protective powers. I keep peppermint next to my computer to help with needed energy because it's a mental stimulant and jasmine for stress relief. What do you use to help protect and inspire you on a day by day basis?
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." wise words spoken by Theodore Roosevelt. This is a grey (that's how Roosevelt spells it) twilight day today. I am one of those "poor spirits" who will know no victory or defeat today. Maybe tomorrow I'll rev up that positive vibration with some wispy smokey incense and I'll cleanse a couple of my crystals and start again on the road to "glorious triumphs". I'll visit my local library and Thrift Museum for inspiration, meditate in the park for a while with nature and have a root beer float and I'll be good to go again. What do you do to lighten up a"grey twilight " day?
