Merry Yule-The Winter Solstice began today December 21st, 2015

Merry Yule-The Winter Solstice began today December 21st, 2015
 I awakened this morning with a smile on my face and was filled with love & gratitude for this wondrous day
My Rune card for today is #8 Fertility- the birthing of New Beginnings
My chores are done, the bills are paid and now on to a magnificent dinner to celebrate this Yule Tide Blessing and the winter Solstice with a bit of Merriment.
I decorated my fireplace with birch (traditional Yule Logs) logs that were a gift from a friend which is also my Celtic Tree-as I was born on Christmas. I placed white candles and rock crystals on the mantel to celebrate my new beginnings today. I just love rituals! I was raised that way. Even though it wasn't something I was ever taught, it  was spirit that guided me to gather and my mom was just so accepting of my whimsy and excitement of it all. The gathering of  pine cones, birch branches, stones, rocks, shells or whatever made my heart sing. I can remember my sister who never participated in such things, would say to my mother, "Mom, she's doing it again!" My mother would always just laugh and say, "Oh Victoria, just leave her alone, let her decorate with what makes her happy!" and my sister would always give me that look like your stupid and I hate you! But it was ok that we were so very different after all and we still are to this very day.
I love this world I dwell in, it's peaceful, calm and filled with joy. Being this close to God is so comfortable for me and I honor every minuet of my day that I can spend there.
Enjoy the day and while relaxing tonight in your easy chair, close your eyes and think about the things you would like to see in your life for 2016 as it's the best day to plan for it. New beginnings
are abound for everyone who takes the time to set their intension and expand their container to make room to receive the new coming in.
Merry Yule to you this day and many blessings going forward, enjoy the solstice♥

till next time. . .

New Moon 11-11-2015 Packed quite the punch

The New Moon 11-11-2015 Packed quite the punch yesterday and brought storms throughout the entire planet.
So are you ready to integrate the new energies that were downloaded and start seeing some really big changes in your lives? Good because things should start to look and feel very different going forward from here. Today is the day that everything will start to fall away based on your intentions for your future. You should have more energy, see things that were out of perspective more clearly and acknowledge that you are at a higher vibration which gives you an edge on manifesting your new reality. Keep those negative thoughts out of your head and start gravitating towards what you want to do with your life that is different from before, see yourself where you want to be opposed to wondering how you will get there and most of all share your positiveness with everyone you come into contact with because that is what will draw in the like minded to help raise that vibration a little more. Ever wonder; why do I keep attracting these weirdos into my life. Well it's your vibration so raise it up and find that you will start to attract a different kind of people, one's who resonate with you at your new vibration.
I used to wonder when I herd that statement, Raise your vibration, how the heck do I do that, what do they mean by raise your vibration and then after learning how I felt rather silly in questioning it but in case you are at that point, I'll explain a little bit to you and I know you'll catch on.
First of all, This is not rocket science! Upon awaking in the morning, instead of opening your eyes and dashing off to the bathroom, lay in bed and quietly look at the day ahead of you. What is your intention for this day, what gifts would be like the universe to bring you today? Imagine and visualize your day and the successes you will achieve today. Be happy in your thoughts cause when you dread, believe me dread will come to you. Open your heart and feel gratitude for the things you already have, good health, a bed to sleep in, a roof over your head, and feel the warmth of gratitude come over you. This is how you raise your vibration, being happy in knowing what ever happens today you will get through it with flying colors. Now get up and do the things you do and be at ease that this will be a great day for you, even if you only get through it with no major catastrophes, in my world that means alot so go for it. Try it out cause when you change something in your routine to make your day better it will always work out for you and after 21 days it becomes a habit which means you have stopped doing something else that was attracting weirdos in your life
Many blessings to you this day and always. . .
enjoy your day

Decembers New Moon

Decembers New Moon has brought about more change
but somehow I feel so stuck.
Attempting to get my self packed
and leave this most wonderful place
I have been dwelling for
the past four years. I am not ready
for this at all and I only
have another 10 days to pull this off.

On a lighter note, Publishers Clearing House called today to verify my entry in the sweepstakes and so maybe I am getting closer to winning the dream of my life, LOL. Stampington & Company also contacted me with an interest in publishing some of my art pieces in Prims Magazine. I'm thrilled to be published in my favorite magazine amongst some of the best Primitive Artists that I so admire.  I guess all in all you just have to count the blessings and leave the negative aspects behind like dust in the wind. I am most grateful for the opportunities ahead of me now.

The December Full Moon is the day of the move and I hope that I will leave all the negativity of this year behind me now. I lovingly look forward to the New Year, 2014 with much openness to the changes ahead of me.

Many blessing to all through this Holiday Season, I regret that I will miss yet another crafting season of making & selling but everything happens for a reason right? And in that I shall not dwell. I'll be strong and move forward with new eyes to see what the future should hold for me.

Till next time. . .

November Full Moon in Taurus

Novembers full moon brings things to and end. With the winds of change blowing about it is sad but time for me to move on.
I was so blessed 4 years ago when I was driving 26 miles in each direction to and from work. Living in Burlington and paying parking tickets every single day as I worked nights and could not ever get a parking spot where I was allowed to park. While  I drove to work one day, I told the universe that I "just want to live in a cabin in the woods". While looking at rental ads I came across an ad that said one bedroom house with loft and full basement, 1 car garage located by Hwy 50 and I94. Reluctantly I called the ad. The next week end I met with the lady who responded to my call and much to my surprise I landed the most beautiful A frame cabin in the woods that I had ever seen. Now 4 years later the property she and her husband have lived at for the last 35 years has been sold. She called last week to tell me that I had to vacate the premises by Jan 1, 2013.
I have much to do to get ready to move on but looking over the last blessed 4 years I have had the most peaceful and wonderful life that I could have ever imagined. Every day I dreamed of winning the PCH drawing so I would buy this place and stay here forever. I'm not ready to leave this most wonderful place but will embrace the changes in my life and expect that the universe has a much better plan in store for me.
This has been a very challenging year for me and my craft business as the consistent turmoil of the blowing winds have kept me from my craft. Hopefully that too will change and I will regain my creativity once more when I get settled in where ever it is I am going.
Check out my ETSY site for whatever it is I do have time to create and many blessings to you all this most wonderful time of year.

2013 Happy New Year Everyone

Happy New Year, 2013
and looking back on my life, there is so much to be grateful for.

The holidays are over and all the winter creations have sold. So 2013 will begin a whole new year of creatures to annouce their arrival as the holidays start to unfold.again. As for me, I have come to realize that all the things I thought I missed growing up in an unwealthy family were just a figment of my imagination. Like coming home to some cheep fried rice that now a days, I make when I get home from a long day at work and enjoy so much for it's wonderful aroma and wholesome flavor. And I am always so gratefull that my parents were chef's and awesome cooks, and that I learned to make something really tasty out of what would apperar to be nothing, to most people. It may be a talent but I am forever grateful for my many talents. Being mulitalented has served me well through my life. It has made me most resourceful as well. Being on an adventure everyday of my life has been a true gift. Don't get me wrong, it didn't always feel this way either but this new year has brought with it a sence of appreciation for many things I would normally not take the time to appreciate. I, like so many people who grew up in the states, have taken so much for granted. Forgetting that we really do need to stop and look at ourselves in the mirror from time to time because we are truely outstanding creatures. Our virsatile ways has brought us to where we are today. We started out as children like all the others and grew into magical creatures. Artists, managers, lightworkers, healers and creative entities that never stop looking for the next avenue to bring us joy and make a little cash along the way,  I have been so blessed throughout my life it seems that I have to stop and wonder why it took me so long to realize just how truely wonderful this life is. I did it, I reached not only my potential but also my goals. Not all of them yet but I have learned much about manifestation and I am moving along quite nicely, I must say. Being in this wonderful gifted place on our planet I have learned to trust again. Not in a human sence but to spiritually trust in the universe that holds me so close to it's breast, like a great mother, that feeds and nurtures me and leads me to always see the best in all things. Everyday as I set an intention to experiance life through my highest self, the very highest aspect of energy that I can embody and go with the flow, allowing it to bring me through my day and back home again where I love to be. Back to the place that I rest and create and have learned that no matter what, I am me and so grateful to be who I am. I hope all your dreams manifest for you in this wonderous year ahead. . . until next time, many blessings to you
