Merry Meet, everyone!
Bob is back out on the boat and I will be doing whatever pleases me today. Today is my 61st birthday. As an author, today's affirmation seems serendipitous.
Our affirmation for today:
I CRAFT MY STORIES
WISELY
AND WITH
INTENTION
Blessed Be

Merry Meet, everyone!
Bob's brother/ wife leave this morning right after breakfast. We had a good visit. Rhonda and I spent the weekend crafting. I worked on my October Daily albums, trying to catch up and get photos off my phone.
Bob will be home another week yet and my plan is for us to not do much.
Our Affirmation for this week:
I MAKE TIME
FOR
HAPPY MOMENTS
THROUGHOUT THE DAY
Blessed Be

Merry Meet, everyone!
Bob's been home a week. Nice to have him home and the house presentable. His youngest brother and wife arrive on Friday for a long weekend. Always nice to have them visit.
Our Affirmation for this week:
MY HAPPIEST DAYS
ARE YET
TO COME!
Blessed Be

Merry Meet, everyone!
Things are running a bit more smoothly here. I've made progress on the studio, Bob will be home in a another week then company for a few days follows. But I'm breathing.
Merry Meet, everyone!
Goodness... with Bob only off two weeks last time and gone for most of the first week, things just got away from me.
I'm still working on the office, making three identical bee-themed journals (which I plan to finish this week!) Life seems to always be on the fast track. I do love keeping busy but my word!
Merry Meet, everyone!
Today's affirmation sums up last week pretty well for me.
I spent the week following my post cleaning the house and getting the studio ready for a house guest. A dear friend, whom I've known on line for about three years was coming for a visit - technically all the way from England! (though she was in the states for her daughter's college graduation, but still... England to itty bitty middle of no where!)
Terri and I enjoyed three days of thrifting, craft shopping, eating and chatting about pretty much everything.
For several weeks I noticed my Tabby cat was sneezing a lot... like 2-year-old runny nose kind of stuff. Not really anything the vet could do but like all virus' - let it run the course. That was fine until one morning when she full-on sneezed right in Bob's face! Ewwww.
Two days later Bob woke up with a head cold. Thanks for sharing, Tabby! Bob and I avoided as much contact as possible but the cold managed to find me anyway, the last day of Terri's visit. That was a week ago today. I'm still dealing with this stupid headcold.
So today's affirmation...
I CAN LOVE MY LIFE
EVEN IF IT'S NOT
PERFECT!
Blessings

Merry Meet, evryone!
I spent a lovely weekend in the city. I spoke at a writer's group on Saturday, had lunch with with my sister then dinner with writer friends. Before that, I spent some time in Barnes and Nobel with a coffee, magazine reads and a bit of browsing. That's when I found this gorgeous hand-tooled Tivoli leather journal from Tuscany, Italy. I wasn't sure what to do with it or if I could justify spending $40 on a journal so I left it there until Sunday when I decided the beautiful piece of craftsmanship would be a Mother's Day gift to myself.
Merry Meet, everyone!
I hope everyone had a Blessed Beltane. The weather here was just beautiful with the exception of wind, preventing me from having a fire ring. I did spend time outside, did a cleansing ritual and enjoyed the power of a New Moon. Such possibilities in the New Moon... possibilites we often allow the Full Moon to overshadow.
My friend, Jenn (Lipstick Legion Crafts) put togther a great video for things to be on the look out for in May. You'll find her video HERE.
This week's Affirmation:
I honor the hard times
that help me appreciate
the happy ones.
Blessed Be

Merry Meet, my friends!
Wow... it's been a strong week. I have eight more days before Bob comes home. I've been getting blog posts scheduled into mid-May as well as the projects needed. Thanks to the lessons in Sarra Cannon's HB90 course, I've also made sure to schedule ME TIME into my week. I'm doing things that bring me job as well as taking care of business.
Good morning, everyone!
Bob's been gone almost a week and I've been plowing through everything on my KanBan board. I've been really focused, manifesting all that I want from this 2nd quarter... stepping blocks to quarter three and beyond.
Merry Meet, everyone!
I'm sorry I missed last week. Bob's first Monday home and we had things to do. With the ribs still fussing at me, there was no planning ahead.
On the upside, I'm able to do stuff again without too much issue of the ribs. I'm 'almost' back to 'normal'... whatever classifies as normal in my life LOL
Merry Meet and Blessed Ostara, everyone!
I am typing this up as the temperature here in the Ozarks surges to 76*. The sun is shinning from a blue sky. Birds are seranading me outside the living room window....
... and I'm still not able to do much. My altar did not get changed as I'd hoped. Maybe I'll get in sync at some point. Though one of my five Red Lion Amarylis has two beautiful flowers.
Last fall, Bob and I planted over 140 spring bulbs. So far I've seen evidence of two. TWO! I swear the squirrels sit in the tree..
"hey guys, look at all that straw she's spreading. You know what that means? We're eating good this winter!"
Merry Meet, everyone!
I'm a bit slower today. I managed to fall on Saturday and pop a rib. Sitting is good, reclining with the hot pad is better so I'm at the desk in small increments of time. I am not one to be idle very long and since last week was my first week back in the office for 2022, falling behind again is just driving me nuts!
I need the Affirmations for Happiness!
Merry Meet, everyone!
I don't know about the rest of you but for some reason I've really had a challenge finding my center this year. I didn't have this issue through the two years of a global pandemic but now, the sand seems to shift at every turn.
While I'm not on solid footing yet, I am making progress. Thank you for your patience.
Merry Meet, everyone!
Today is Cyber Monday. Did you check out the Etsy links I left on Friday and prepared a shopping list?
Merry Meet, everyone!
Did you gather power from the Full Moon? I love when they fall on a weekend. I can really step into the magic and absorb all there is to offer.
Merry Meet, everyone!
We are half way through the month of November. The Full Moon is only four days away. What are your plans?
Merry Meet, everyone!
I apologize for no Monday post last week. I'm trying to get into a groove where I don't miss anyone. I'm good for the rest of November, so far. ;-)
Merry Meet, everyone!
We had a big storm blow through about 9 last night. Not bright enough outside yet to assess what is still standing but was full of power and great to fall asleep to.
