Greetings.

The past several days have been a series of activities and minor inconveniences and frustrations.
My blazer broke down. It is amazing how a disabled vehicle has such an impact on the other mechanics and components of your life. I hate being dependable on such things, but it is necessary in this part of the world. I long to be able to walk/ride a bike to work/shopping, etc. Even taking a cab appeals to me.

I get my cast off today from my orthopedic surgery, and my first Reiki attunement is this evening by my very good friend and Reiki Master, Samantha.

I also just sent an emotional email to a very good friend with whom I've had a unique and unexpected connection. He is moving on to a new phase in his life, which in a way takes him further out of mine. But regardless, he will always be a part of my life and we will always be connected.

I had a discussion with someone this week about what qualifies one as a minister. In the laws eyes, there are certain qualifications. In mine, the knowledge and spirituality of an individual can be self-taught and self-developed. I'm ordained, but the ordaination although legal is unexceptable in the Commonwealth of VA. However, I'm planning to attend the Esoteric Theological Seminary after my coven studies are complete, which should be approved by the state, but I'm still researching.

My little sister has started Bible study classes. We had a great discussion about this. She is only comfortable with certain types of ministers--ones who teach by using the Bible as the word of God and then using stories and examples to back it up. Although she identifies sin in other people, she will not and does not stand in judgement and is respectful of other paths. She is the only person in my family (except for my partner) who has embraced by choice of spirituality and is supportive and involved. Yet, she prays for me. I guess you can't have enough of that!

My problem at work with a certain individual is still being addressed. The man has a mental illness, which was reinforced again recently. So, its difficult to take any action, magickal or otherwise, because he just can't help himself. Yet, he is doing damage and something must be done to stop him.

My line of Goddess Goods by Sage are now on display and for sale at my local hairdressers. It has been suggested to put these on the website for orders, which I will eventually do.

Another full day ahead of me.

Living the Magical Life,

Sage
