A "Witch" Session

Since I'm trying to make it a habit and not use foul language, this entry is called the "Witch" Session as opposed to the "B word" Session.

The past few weeks have been filled with some challenges and issues.

My spouse and I had a major checking account issue (of no fault of our own) and while I sent him to the bank, I performed the swifting energy spell taught to me by Dorothy Morrison. Presto, problem solved and people at fault very embarrassed.

Someone who has been a great friend basically blew me off when I asked for a few moments of his time and advice on a project that I've been working on, despite my support of him in many ways and while I stand by and watch as he supports his others. This hurts. It wasn't so much that he didn't have time, it was the undertone of his words in response to my request, or lack there of I should say. My response to him was just as curt. Perhaps he'll get the message, but I suspect his own "celebrity" is going to his head. He could have been a little more sensitive.

I get 75+ emails a day from just one of my group communcations, which does not include my regular communications and other group email lists. It can be overwhelming and as a result of trying to weed out the useless and mundane emails, I almost missed an important deadline related to plans for Samhain. I tried to communicate the issue of so many emails and those with deadlines needing to stand out, but the facilitator's suggestion to solve the issue didnt' solve the issue.

My mother, who I call by her first name because she's just not a very good mother and has been hurtful to me over the years, "acted out" at a recent family event. This is not a first-time episode. She puts menial things ahead of family and it drives me absolutely crazy. She's also getting older, is set in her ways and oblivious to the hurt she causes me and my sisters. And when called on the carpet, she plays the victim. She will never change, and I struggle with not being able to let go of the hurt.

Sometimes you just gotta vent, and this is one of those times.

On a more positive note, work is going well, my writing is going well, and I get some me time coming up soon. Even during life's aggrevations, I always try to be grateful and focus on making my life the best it can be.

Being a Witch does not mean my life is perfect, but it does give me the power to make it all better.
