time to set things in motion.

Every year on Ostara, I write myself an intention letter.

I fill it will my hopes, dreams, and goals for the year.

I open last year's letter, see where I stand,

and then I write my new letter for the year.

I found that this is the perfect time for me if I want to

implement any big changes in my life.

Now is the time to plant the seeds you wish to grow.

What do you wish to plant this year?

What growth would you like to see in your life?

Ostara is the time.

Words to Live By-The Optimist Creed

The Optimist Creed

Have you heard of Optimist International?

They are a volunteer organization whose mission is to 
bring out the best in kids.

I'm really in love with their "Optimist Creed". 

True words to live by.

Watch the video!

The Optimist Creed

Promise yourself to be so strong that 

nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk 

health, happiness and 

prosperity to every person you meet. 

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. 

To look at the sunny side of everything and 

make your optimism come true. 

To think only of the best, to work only for the best, 

and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about 

the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and 

press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and 

give every living creature you meet a smile. 

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself 

that you have no time to criticize others. 

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, 

too strong for fear, and 

too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

Tapping Tuesday ~ The Ultimate Affirmation

Hi everyone and welcome to Tapping Tuesday!

This week, sorry to report I do not have a video for you 
to follow along with.

But I do have a great idea for you!

This is one of my favorite ways to tap.

I really love to take an affirmation
and tap with it.

I always feel so empowered during and especially after.

So, to really kick it up, I have an amazing affirmation from the affirmation queen herself, Louise Hay.

Tap along the points while saying the affirmation.

Here is a reminder of the tapping points -

The Ultimate Affirmation

from “You Can Heal Your Life” ~ Louise Hay

In the infinity of life where I am,

all is perfect, whole, and complete.

I live in harmony and balance with everyone I know.

Deep at the center of my being,

there is an infinite well of love.

I now allow this love to flow to the surface.

It fills my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness,

my very being,

and radiates out from me in all directions

and returns to me multiplied.

The more love I use and give, the more I have to give.

The supply is endless.

The use of love makes me feel good;

it is an expression of my inner joy.

I love myself; therefore,

I take loving care of my body.

I lovingly feed it nourishing foods and beverages,

I lovingly groom it and dress it,

and my body lovingly responds to me

with vibrant health and energy.

I love myself; therefore,

I provide for myself a comfortable home,

one that fills all my needs and is a pleasure to be in.

I fill the rooms with the vibration of love

so that all who enter,

myself included, will feel this love and be nourished by it.

I love myself; therefore,

I work at a job I truly enjoy doing,

one that uses my creative talents and abilities,

working with and for people I love and who love me,

and earning a good income.

I love myself; therefore,

I behave and think in a loving way

to all people for I know

that which I give out returns to me multiplied.

I only attract loving people in my world,

for they are a mirror of what I am.

I love myself; therefore,

I forgive and totally release the past and all past experiences,

and I am free.

I love myself; therefore,

I live totally in the now;

experiencing each moment as good

and knowing that my future is bright and joyous and secure,

for I am a beloved child of the Universe,

and the Universe lovingly takes care of me

now and forever more.

All is well in my world.

You're So Money-Affirmation

Here is a great $money$ affirmation from Louise L. Hay.

Image Credit 

My Income Is Constantly Increasing

I know that the quickest way to increase my income is 
to do the mental work first.

In order to help myself be more prosperous, 
I can either choose to attract 
or repel money and
other forms of prosperity.

Complaining NEVER works.

I have a cosmic mental bank account, 
and I can deposit positive affirmations and believe I deserve, 
or believe that I do not. 

I affirm:

My income is constantly increasing.

I have abundance in all areas of my life.

I find that I attract prosperity with ease.

I Am Healthy - Affirmation

I Am Healthy and Filled With Energy.

I have respect for my body, and I treat it well.

I nourish it with good foods and healthy exercise.

I affirm positive things about my body and

L is for a Love Limerick-Pagan Blog Project

A Personal Romantic Limerick

Love.
I've always felt love for my friends, 
and love for my family.

Romantic love took a lot longer in my life.
I worked on my heart chakra for years.

When I met Chris, my heart chakra exploded into pure joy.

I love him dearly.

If you want to read the story of how we met
click here.

For the letter "L", I am sharing
a love limerick Chris gave me a couple of years ago.

He had the Asheville Limerick Lord 
write it for me.

He said the Limerick Lord asked a few questions about me
and this is what he came up with. 

It's so perfect and makes my heart expand even bigger. 

My uber-organized girl of nature

sometimes a faiere, sometimes a dictator

storm troopers and nettles

our love ever gentle

I'm your Han Solo and you my slave Leah.

-Asheville Limerick Lord

Snickers & giggles & smiles! I just love it!

*************

I'm super excited to be a part of 
The Pagan Blog Project. 

Every Friday experience the alphabet of spirituality 
and pagan goodness.

Check out the list of excellent blogs for week 23 of the letter L.

I Am Abundance

Image Credit

The heat of spring 
has arrived.

The kind of heat that 
feels like summer.

Plants are thriving. 

Bees are buzzing. 

Bugs are biting.

It's a time of growth.

Tap in to that prosperous energy. 

Be open to 
abundance in 
all areas of your life.


Here is a prosperity exercise to get you started.

Light a green candle and recite the following.

The earth bursts forth with abundance

As above, so below

The sky overflows with light

As above, so below

Increase and bounty are all around me

As above, so below

Everything is green and growing

As above, so below

Abundance and prosperity are mine

In the best possible ways

As above, so below

As so it is

~Deborah Blake

Taken from Llewellyn's Witches' Datebook 2012

Always remember abundance is your birthright!

A Prayer for Bringing Balance into Your Life

Yin Yang

I'm always striving to balance my life - always -

between planning and plotting my dream biz, working my bridge job, spending time with Chris, watching Netflix, 
reading books, writing, blogging, crafting, sleeping, etc...

It can get overwhelming. 

The following balance prayer is from Deborah Blake. 

She suggests saying this prayer while burning a white candle and a black candle. You may also want to place a tarot card or something that represents balance next to the candles. 
Example: Wheel of Fortune, the Star...

Note - here God and Goddess is used - you may replace this with the Universe, The Great Mystery, 

or whatever your higher power is. 

********************************

 A. E. Waite tarot deck

God and Goddess

send me the gift of balance

Help to make good choices

And to see clearly

As I balance work and play

Home, health, love, and family

Keep me focused and firm

As I walk the difficult path

That is the well-lived life

And lend me your strength and wisdom

So I might have balance

In all these things

So mote it be

What Would Audrey Horne Do?

Every once in awhile, I have to revisit "Twin Peaks".

Maybe it's an obsession.

Maybe it's just part of who I am.

My favorite female on the show is Audrey Horne. 

Sexy in saddle shoes and all, dancing her dance through life...

and she always gets what she wants.

When in doubt, I think "What would Audrey do?"

We all know what she would do.

She would get what she wanted. 

I find her an inspiration.

This has been my affirmation the past week...

"I'm Audrey Horne and I get what I want."

Audrey Horne - Twin Peaks

Dance your dance. Find your music.

Tap in to the power of Audrey

and get what you want.

I leave you with Audrey's Dance.
