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…

Okay, I know it’s not Wednesday anymore, it’s Thursday… but its better late than never, isn’t it?
So… we just passed the holy day of Mabon, Harvest Home, Autumnal Equinox… whatever you want to call it. Just like every other holy day this year I practically missed it, and I felt a pang of loss at not marking the day to note the abundance of second harvest, and making it special… if ONLY I had realized this on the weekend.
But we did eat pumpkin pie that day… so that totally counts
Thinking of ABUNDANCE… what do I wish to have an abundance OF?
ONE: Time
But not just regular time, QUALITY TIME. You know the kind, stuff that you…

Randomly I participate in Jamie Ridler’s Wishcasting Wednesday meme. Sometimes I intend to do it, and forget. Sometimes I just don’t really have a concrete answer. Sometimes life just gets in the way…
So… this week’s question is:
What do you wish to have?
I notice, once I have written it down (or typed it out) that it isn’t “what do you wish you had?”… it’s not a regret, it’s not yearning, it’s looking forward to gaining something that isn’t there YET…
Profound
So what do I wish to HAVE?
- Family. I don’t feel particularly close to any of my family, and that’s something I don’t really know how to change. Because I am not exactly the

I often feel like the ONLY parent in the universe who has kids who are struggling. Maybe I’m just the ONLY PARENT IN THE UNIVERSE who will admit that their kids aren’t perfect angels? Maybe I’m the only parent willing to say “hey, listen, I’m struggling to find a way to help my kids”…
Or maybe my kids ARE the only ones who have “issues” as yet undetermined?
Whatever the case, 90% of my interaction with the school/teachers* has been relatively NEGATIVE in nature. It seems more often than not I am being asked to explain WHY one or the other (or both) of my children are having problems. I am frustrated. I have no set of peers to talk…

In January I wrote out the things I most wanted to change in my life in 2010, rather than writing out resolutions. I focused on the 5 areas of my life that I felt I needed to change to start getting back to being more fully ME.
The fifth and final (but certainly not least) of these areas was the desire to reconnect to something larger than myself out THERE. I wanted to re-visit, explore, and reconnect my soul to the Divine… even though after 12 years I wasn’t entirely SURE what I “believed” anymore…
So in order to keep myself on track, I have decided that I am going to check in every season to see how…
