You're not the only one depressed

You're not the only one depressed.  I understand how hard it must be to see your ex, the mother of your child, getting married.  I understand what it feels like to know that something is over.  But you are not the only one who is depressed.  You have someone who loves you unconditionally, who takes care of you, who shares so much with you... I don't have that, do I?  So I want you to know, you are not the only one who's crying.

Things I Believe

THINGS I BELIEVE 

• Every woman deserves at least 2 bathing suits
•  
• That butter is better for you than margarine, trans fat or not
•  
• That those webby things on tree branches are where the spider babies live
•  
• That when bats and spiders breed, the offspring is called “spider babies”
•  
• That every single human being that was, is, or ever will be, is special and has something beautiful about them, even if they aren’t blessed with attractiveness
•  
• In still matching my socks to my outfit
•  
• In trying to use proper grammar and punctuation. Capitalization… not so much. I find it a bit pretentious.
•  
• That Current/Zeus and I are a couple in some sense of the word. I have to believe that or I don’t think I’ll make it

Scent-sational!!!

OMG, I just got my latest order from Auntie Di's candle shops.  I think I'm in love!  I got the choose 4 scents tart deal from her tart shop http://thetemptingtart.etsy.com/ and a candle from http://auntiedis.etsy.com/ .  For tarts, I chose Sour Watermelon (shown here), Lemon Poppyseed, Marshmellow, and Apple Brown Betty.  They are freakin' awesome!  I have the Watermelon one on right now, and it has made my whole apartment smell great!

The candle I got was Chocolate Coconut Maccaroon.  And let me tell ya, this stuff is fabulous!  I had gotten a sample tart of this scent with a previous order, and I just had to get the real deal.  I put it in the bathroom this morning while I took a shower, and it just put me in a good mood.  I've been jonesing for candles; I think I have melted just about every last speck of my other candles from Di (Strawberry and Sweet Pea) by putting the jars on a warmer and taking advantage of that left over bit on the bottom when the wick is gone.  Eventually I WILL own one of everything this woman makes lol.  But the budget's been pretty tight.  Living on a fixed, once monthly, income pretty much sucks, but I'm getting used to it. 

If you all get a chance, check out http://www.etsy.com/  It will change your life! I'm thinking of Christmas already...

Praying for the Ocean

What is happening in our country is horrendous. As I read the Sea Witch's blog, tears rolled dowm my face. http://musingsofaseawitch.blogspot.com/2010/06/we-have-failed-miserably-as-stewards-of.html A bunch of Pagan blogs are passing around the message that today, during the New Moon, that we all pray, send light, do spells, call upon our deities for the healing of the ocean and all of her innocent animal babies. Please do join all of us. I heard about it via Mrs. B's blog. http://www.confessionsofapagansoccermom.com/2010/06/healing-mother-earth-june-12.html We all came from the sea, She is another face of the Goddess and She is screaming with pain and agony and hurt that we have directly or indirectly caused. Here is a prayer from my prayer book, "The Wiccan Prayer Book" by Mark Ventimiglia O my Lady, you are the Earth, the Seas, the Air, and the Life of this Planet we live on. Through the negligence of humankind, coupled with unreserved greed, we have done severe damage to the seas, oceans, rivers and streams. Wather is your precious gift. It is life giving and very nourishing. we need wather to live and remain healthy. The very existence of all life on Earth needs this very special gift. Please allow humanity to wake up before it's too late and see the damage that has already been done by pollution and ignorance. Help us to put plans into effect that will end the pollution of our waterways, thereby saving this very important gift for future generations. Blessed Be
