Journaling prompt:
What is changing in my life, and how am I responding to that change? In my current project, relationship or other life cycle — what phase am I in? How do I stay centered in the midst of change?
Your Wheel Spark:
This prompt can’t be done in 15 minutes, or even in one day. But you can make a start today.
Choose a favorite tree in your neighborhood or backyard, and decide to observe it for an entire year. Mark your calendar for the days you will visit it: perhaps each New Moon or Full Moon, or on each of the 8 holy days (Yule, Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lammas, Mabon, Samhain).
On your visits, photograph the tree, sketch it, or write about it. Notice all the changes it goes through as the seasons turn.
Currently, my life is on the upswing. We are almost at the top of our Wheel. We’re actually paying off debts, not just the “don’t shut us off, pretty please” amounts. And I would say I’m handling it pretty well, lol. It actually took me a little while to get over my fear. When you go all the way to the bottom, and get stuck there for a really long time, the struggle becomes your life. You get used to the scraping by and crossed fingers. Praying they won’t shut the power off. Relying on food stamp to eat. Having to pay rent in segments and being months behind. It’s a frikkin nightmare. And when you have a baby in that situation, you have this added guilt. And expense lol.
But then Jackson got this job and within two weeks we had caught up on rent, paid down the power bill and caught up on our phone payments completely. He gave me $200 yesterday. Just because. He’s been at Advanced for a little more than two months now, and we’re finally secure. And at first, I still had that mentality of “No you could spend that $5, you might need it to put gas in the car.” Money was always on my mind and I let it stress me out. I had to let that fear go and start appreciating my blessings.
So I do! I’m a lucky lady!!! If there’s a book I want, I pick it up. If I feel like going for a coffee, I can. If I want to go out to lunch with my girlfriends, I’m gonna do it! Life’s too short to stress.
Love and light, witchy bitches!
