Oh I had such a lovely weekend full of fun. I got into the beta for a game I've been dying to try for awhile now and it was... well, no that would be breaking the NDA and I won't do that as I do not want to take a chance on losing my account at launch. All I am legally able to say about it is that, yes there is a beta and yes I am in it ( Read more... )

I've started to put the parts of my practice back into place. I need to clean off the altar as it is currently covered in ash from incense. A simple cleaning and probably cleansing afterwards ( Read more... )

Well, I'll take it as a start that I am here being thoughtful for a moment instead of playing a stupid game or laughing at online kittens. But the real progress is that I got my Tree of Life carving hung up in my office today. Right in front of my eyes so that I can see it even while typing. I can already feel it awakening those connections that I ( Read more... )

I'm such a slacker. Granted, I'm a slacker in more than one aspect of my life so it's not just my pagan practices that take a backseat to things at times. But for some reason, I find it remarkably easy to tell myself that I'll do something "soon" and "soon" never seems to arrive ( Read more... )

I originally wrote the bulk of this on 9/11/2004 - if it seems familiar, it's likely that you've read an earlier version ( Read more... )

I'm finding it much easier to post the gratitude posts through twitter and facebook than here. That may be because I've moved so far away from LJ as a regular place for me to be. Since this isn't about making life more complicated, but it is about sharing gratitude publicly, I'm going to continue on FB and twitter and then copy them over here over ( Read more... )

Today I'm grateful that I cleaned my desk off at work last night. It was great to not have a pile of papers to dig through this morning when I got in. Everything was where I'd left it the night before and I could find the papers I was working on right away.

It's that time of year again. Once again I nod to estaratshirai who started this. The Gratitude Project runs from Lammas to Mabon and you find something to be grateful for each day between those Sabbats. No repeats - you can be grateful for your spouse/kids/job/friends, but the reason for the gratitude needs to be different for ( Read more... )
