it was a good weekend….

yesterday, my mom and i battled the evil costco monster. when they built this store, it didn’t seem like it was too busy, but now, it’s a madhouse there. i strongly suspect they are going to have to build another store soon. our community seems to have outgrown the store. takes you half an hour, circling, to find a parking spot, then into the melee in the store. it was horrible, truly. but, we spent lots of money and life is good.

today, my magickal studies class met. i love these women so much. although they are all platonic girlfriends, they are really the only intimacy i have in my life and ever time i am around them, i am so grateful for the fact that i have them. i can vent to them, and we can laugh and cry and share and life is good. today, i am feeling blessed.

as part of my magickal study, we were asked to write down some affirmations that were meaningful for us. i will share the ones that i wrote when i get back. i am getting ready to go and pick up my daughter.

wish me luck, girls, tomorrow brianna goes back to school, i hope all goes well for her. we met with her counselor a couple of weeks ago and she’s been doing an online english class. she’s kicking ass on it and seems highly motivated and anxious to get back on track, which is awesome. i hope that it stays this way. she seems to try to be making friends at the school and she chose to go back to that school. she learned a lot about how she projected herself….she found out a lot of people were intimidated by her, even though she was very shy, mostly. people mistook her quietude for attitude. sad, really, but she is more aware of things now.

and later on….here are the affirmations:

there were a few that were in the book we are studying in that i really liked:

i am completely healthy on all levels
i am in balance and harmony
i release all that does not serve my highest good
i am safely opening my healing abilities

i am successful and talented
i am prosperous
i have all the money and resources i need
i am always in the right place at the right time
doing the right thing
i am joyful in all that i do

now, here are a couple that i wrote:

i am beautiful
i am capable and strong in body and spirit
i am graceful and light on my feet hen i am dancing
i am goddess

my body is my vessel
i love my body as it is
and as i transform it
i will make good food choices and honor my temple

now, here’s a picture of me getting my diploma:

peace.

it’s going to be a good year.

i can feel it.
