Happy Thanksgiving!
from yours truly!
It's been awhile since I blogged. It's mostly been quick updates on Facebook. We are spending a peaceful Thanksgiving at home, just the two of us (3 counting the pooch). I am thankful for the down time.
However, I am most thankful for my family, daughter, husband and friends, both near and far, including all of you that I have yet to meet face to face, but feel an overwhelming connection.

November 4, 1961
Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day
Is bonny and blithe and good and gay
Guess who?!

Samhain
Our Samhain ritual was Friday night. We had an awesome turnout! Several new members of our secondary group (our primary group is closed to new members-just squeaked by-unless invited).
We had an outdoor ritual with 5 High Priestesses, one at each point of the star. A beautiful cool, crisp clear night.
Each of us went through one at a time, reading a paragraph to ourselves about honoring those who are on the other side. Ancestors, loved ones, etc.
At each point we were spoken to by the High Priestess, posing a question. We had the option of saying our answer out loud or to ourselves. Befeathered's familiars ran around our feet.
I brought the picture below. This is my paternal Grandmother and Grandfather. Though close to both of my grandmothers, I was one of 5 grandchildren for them, 1 of 13 for the other. I was able to spend a lot of quality time with Grandma Ethel. We grew very close into my adulthood.
So, I was here to honor them and her. My teacher of simple things. Gardening, canning, crochet and sewing. As I got the the third point I was tearing up. Astreil said "They watch over you. They are not really gone." As I got to Dolphin, I was crying. She hugged me tight, I spoke of my need and meditated. When I opened my eyes she said, "I have a message for you. This has never happened to me before and it has come through so clearly. May I give you the message?"
As, I nodded my head and said, "Please.." She said, "I'm supposed to tell you that you can't carry the weight of the world on your shoulders."
I know, but it is so hard not to......
Miss you much, Gramma.

Race for the Cure
Today was a great day. My husband and I walked a 5K for Austin's Race for the Cure. My Grandmother (now passed), Mother, Best Friend, along with 2 other friends, all have survived breast cancer.
When a congressman was speaking before the race on a bill that has yet to pass, my husband looked at me and said "Why would they NOT pass a bill on something like this? It's a no brainer."
Couldn't answer that one.
