Letting go of Items often means cutting the energetic ties we have to these items. For some of our collected objects this isn’t hard to do… we simply aren’t energetically bound to that item. For other items??? WOoooboy is it hard to let go.

I’ve been noticing this in my own life… and I’ve seen how this can get out of hand in the lives of those around me. I know that the invisible energetic things pervading our stuff hold them to us… for a multitude of reasons. The head knows that we do not need this item or really WANT this item, but the heart knows that this item is OURS.

My sticking points tend to fall in 2…

It can be hard to see the energetic THINGS that we have in our lives.

We acquire more THINGS – both physical and energetic – when we are in a deficit space. The need to “fill” ourselves or to “fill” some need that we have causes us to seek out more. Some of the things we acquire fill the needs, and therefore enrich our lives.

But some of the THINGS are just an expression of the process of feeling a lack in our lives.

I know that I went through a process of gathering when I went through the process of divorce. I mostly gathered notebooks and pens and creative supplies. I tried to find an outlet for something that…

I am admitting to myself that trying to actively get rid of one thing from my house everyday has been kicking my ass.

It’s not that I am still not committed to it. It’s that it’s harder to get things done than I expected with the full time job and the full time kids, activities, and housework.

Consequently, things are sitting in my house waiting for a weekend that is slow enough for me to drag it all out to the Salvation Army. This weekend doesn’t look like it will be “the one”…

Part of my wanting to get rid of things in my home are about making more space – both physical and energetic – for the things in…

Okay… I missed Wishcasting on Wednesday, so I’ll do it on Thursday.

The first thing that came to my head? RAIN.  Seriously, the rain and dampness and WET is just bothering me this “summer”… I’m SURE its bothering the farmers too.

This has been the wettest summer I can remember for Saskatchewan, although I can’t find any numbers stating how much rain we’ve had, the fact that the ground has been so saturated that rain is no longer being absorbed into the soil (hence the swamp under my back deck) and the flooded ditches and fields around my home would make me believe it is a WAY bigger number than the…

The last 3 years I have been wandering, lost, in an unknown place. I shook off the chains of my marriage, I left an abusive situation, and I gained my freedom. But in a lot of ways I wasn’t READY for the freedom I gained, and the sudden freedom really messed with my mind.

Where I was….

TheEx monitored me 24 hours a day. I was used to being watched and scrutinized and was fearful of talking to coworkers, fearful of phone calls and emails, and fearful of making plans. For years I knew that my husband would call me at work, randomly, and hope to catch me away from my desk, which he assumed meant that I was engaging…
