Breathe In. Breathe Out. Repeat.

Sighhhh.

Merry Meet old friend.

This poor blog of mine has become something I don't recognize anymore. Yes, it served it's purpose for the time being. But I think I need a change. A cleaning.

I need to reignite the spark that inspired me to write this. And get back to basics.

Heck, I need to do that in my day to day life as well. Clear out the clutter. Center. Relax. Breathe.

Things that are no longer serving their purpose will be bid a fond farewell. And things that I've been neglecting that I need will be brought back to the forefront.

I feel as though, I've hit a crossroads. Do I turn left? Right? Forward? Back? Only Divine Will can show the true way. I've decided to stop forcing things, and allow for the Universe to guide me where I need to go.

It's time for me to listen.

What is in a Human Voice?

Very insightful commentary. Thought provoking and philosophical.

And of course, an amazing performance.

Deflated

I try to go out of my normal work duties sometimes to try and expand my horizons, network, become more of a team player, etc. And the first year I did, it was AMAZING! Everyone did what they said they'd do. We all split the share of work evenly. It was a perfect alignment of a team.

Last year, wasn't so great. It seemed that the stars weren't as perfectly aligned as the year before. The meetings were more sporadic and no one wanted to do anything.

This year, I wasn't going to help. But someone different was running the show and I figured I'd do it to help her out since I knew her. But now............I feel so deflated.

She asks for help. Then we offer. And before we can do anything it's done already. WTF? Why ask us if you're just going to do it anyway?!?!? I guess I'll just stop offering. Maybe then I won't be so disappointed.

Weekly Obsession: Not Your Mother's Dry Shampoo

Yes, ladies, this is the answer to greasy, second or even third day hair. I LOVE this stuff. It comes out in full force no shaking required.

The only thing I would recommend is to fluff your hair after spraying with your fingers. White powder does cover your hair, so for brunettes, more fluffing may be required. The reason I suggest this is so that your brush doesn't end up looking dusty. Though if you don't care, then by all means.

I do like other products that Not Your Mother's sells, but this product deserves it's own post.

Finally!!!! It's SPRING!

Enjoy this classic.

Knitting Mondays: Hitchhiker in Pink Orchard

Ok everyone, I know these titles may sound like odd word mash. But it will make sense. I promise.

The first the Hitchhiker. This is a gorgeous shawl(ette) scarf. Whatever you decide to use it as. It ends up as a triangular piece of fabric with 42 "teeth" on it. Just go look at the pic and you'll see what I mean.

42. Anybody? Get it?

If not read through the pattern description and you will find out why 42. And shame on you, you should already know. LOL

The second, Pink Orchard. This (fingering weight AKA: sock weight) is a bright shade of green, pink and white. Seriously, it looks like the dyer (Toil and Trouble on etsy) took a few highlighters and colored it.

Am I right? Well, here's what it looks like so far.

Weekly Obsession: Ostara

Now, I know this is more of a holiday than something to be "obsessing over". However, I am so excited for Ostara this year. For a few reasons.

1. I get to do the "Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Chocolate Rabbit" with a bunch of kids tonight. It's a ton of fun, but be careful the possibility of sugar shock is quite real.

2. I'm presiding over my first ritual for my coven. I'm a little nervous. But I'm confident that I've been trained well. Keep your fingers crossed that I don't end up doing something really silly like light my clothing on fire or drop the eggs. It will be just what it needs to be. (If keep telling myself that, maybe it will actually happen.)

3. Spring is officially here! (I hope.)

What are you all doing to celebrate?
