Reflecting On The Results

Mindfulness & Reflection

When we hear meditation with mindfulness what are they talking about? Being mindful of our thoughts, emotions, and how our body is. Mindfulness is about being aware of the moment. When we go into meditation intending to reflect on the mindfulness we practice we learn so much about ourselves. What are we fearing? What are we not facing?  Why did this situation appear in…

Every November I get excited about working on trying to write 50,000 words in 30 days. Is it possible? Is it worth it? Yes & Yes. Since 2015, I have yet to finish my word count but with every year my love for writing grows.

This year I have only made it to 13,000 words by the second week but that’s over double what I did last year! I have a secret hope that I’ll make it this year. That this year…

Anxiety isn’t just over worrying Anxiety isn’t just being out of breath Anxiety can be unseen Anxiety can seen without anyone knowing

Cleaning, baking, twirling hair, cold shower, running hands in hot water, running, extensive chores, preoccupying yourself with multiple things.

Anxiety isn’t just breathing into a bag. It’s for moments not being able to slow down or even move.

At least they’ll…

Part 2-

The pretty & the ugly

As women, as witches- who or what do we owe? Do we owe anyone anything?   Let me stop you there. All that is false. We owe nothing to no one. “The witch owes nothing”- Pam Grossman.

Think about it, they tell woman we owe loyalty to men, to bear children, to cook, to slave, and to not exist beyond our “duties”.  We don’t, we are strong, smart, and witty- this is why…

Late Night Inspiration- Part 1

  Late one evening after a movie showing my partner and I had made a spontaneous trip to BAM. For whatever reason, something called me to go. While I hadn’t really planned on buying anything but maybe a cup of coffee from the in-store coffee house (Joes mugs), I came home with a new book. When we got in I had realized my aisle “Body, mind, spirit- aka witch aisle” had been moved. Five minutes…

The Case of Equanimity

Tonight, I sat in with a small group of ladies from my local Buddhist Society for class and meditation. The topic was Equanimity. At first, I did not understand what that word meant. As the class went on the words hit so hard in the soul.

So, what is Equanimity? What does it mean to you?

Equanimity is simply the mind being calm through chaos. One of the many things that reached out tonight to me…

To balance ones mind.

To balance ones mind.

  The number three.

Balance between regret or passion.

To begin or to not.

Equanimity

To see with patience

To see with understanding

Simply to be

To be but to see

To know chaos but to be free

Develop Equanimity

Continue with practice

To be within yourself

To have practice from one moment to the next without pause

Transient

Knowing this is temporary

To breath throughout the…

5 Things You Should Put In The Hospital Bag Before Your Hysterectomy!

 Grab a change of loose clothes. 

I grabbed a flowy, oversized dress, a pair of soft stretchy PJ bottoms and a “too big” t-shirt. Most of the time after the surgery is complete, the nurses will allow you to wear your own clothes while you are there. I mean unless you just insist on staying in that cold..back-end showing hospital gown? Plus, you’ll want to wear something comfortable with all the…

Story Time- A Hysterectomy

A Hysterectomy of any sort is not the easiest procedures any woman could go through. It’s not only tough on the body but sometimes it’s even more critical on the mind.  For those who don’t know what a hysterectomy, it’s the removal of the uterus, cervix, tubes and sometimes ovaries. The procedure is usually common for those older into their forties. Unfortunately, some of us have to have it…

A Case Of Writers’ Block

Mrs. Cardinal, I have been stuck in a writers rut for sometime now. What is your advice on getting out of writers’ block?

Ms. Rain, writers’ block has always been around for a lot of us.  My go-to is to write about what you know.  As common as that goes among us writers, it’s a winner. Take something from your current life that is heavy on your soul and write about it. Even if you never publish…

Learning How To Mac

  Minimizing, expanding, and getting the hell off that.

Top left corner of a page, document, etc: Red= exit, Yellow= minimize, green= expand

LaunchPad or Finder?

LaunchPad is your one-stop for all your applications. Finder helps you get to the pages as in photos, documents, & recent downloads.

Where is my control panel?

You will want to use your System Preferences instead- same thing just…

Yes or no? Maybe?

I have always wanted to have my own column but never pursued it till tonight. Not everyone wants to ask their parents, friends, or even their therapist for advice, so why not ask a stranger?   It’s a trial run but hopefully, YOU and my future readers will enjoy it.                     ━𝒜𝒹𝓋𝒾𝒸𝑒 𝐹𝓇𝑜𝓂 𝒜 𝐵𝒾𝓇𝒹━ 🐦

Spicing Up A Facebook Post

While working on Arpagans Facebook site (I’m a co-editor), I wanted to find a way to italicize the words of a book.  Unfourtantly, facebook doesn’t give us many options to make our writings fancy. However, after a quick google enter, I found a fantastic word editor –YayText-.

It allows you to paste a post, a word, links, or whatever into the editor. You can choose from a list of text styles. …

A Mystery Solved Or Is it?

A mystery some of us seek to find the answer,

A mystery some of us run from,

A mystery that comes from some and doesn’t for others,

So what is this ol’ mystery? ,

Is it happiness?

Is it love?

No, it’s simply this,

The laundry, Oh how it never ends but seems to get cleaned,

The dishes, the hide and seek, never to speak of dishes,

They come, they go, and some even hide,

The litter, oh the litter,

T…
