Thanks on Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is my favorite weekend out of the year. I never plan anything.

It's a four day weekend filled with lots of food and lots of relaxing.

I dig it.

I am filled with gratitude and am truly thankful for many things.

I'm thankful for:

• finding the right job for me
• having my Asheville crafting debut at the Charlotte Street Petite
• getting back into candle and jewelry making
• Asheville new friends
• all my old friends
• my freakin awesome boyfriend, who knew love really was grand?
• my freakin awesome boyfriend's nuts
• my passion for life coming back to me
• my plans to join a fitness club on December 5
• my cozy home
• Mulder, my car
• Faeries
• midnight Cookout runs with Chris
• lazy Sundays
• herbal magic
• good wine
• Beer City USA
• music
• words
• the moon and the stars
• sex and candy
• lava lamps
• electric blankets and flannel sheets
• finding a new groove

What are you thankful for today?

Think of at least 5 things you are thankful for and share with someone.

Goddess Oracle of the Week~Sekhmet

Sekhmet

Anger & Rage

I burn and fume

and shoot daggers from my eyes

I erupt and roar

(though you've not pulled my tail)

my edges are sharp

and I cut deep

my energy is strong and fierce

and my displeasure

needs to be expressed

Through sometimes mild

I can be very intense

Once incited

I am difficult to put out

I am always appropriate

always needed

Don't try to get rid of me

I need to be acknowledged and heard

I am anger

By Amy Sophia Marashinsky

**************************************************************************

I pulled this card the other day...and I thought "Wow, hmm...I'm not angry."

Now I am pissed.

I'm so done with some things. I am feeling my anger.

It's okay to be angry. I own this feeling.

I have expressed my anger and I feel good.

"Sekhmet says our anger is part of our power as women.

Don't give away your anger. Learn to express it in a way that it can be heard.

Learn to transform it so it empowers and energizes you.

Your path to wholeness will be more vital when you make anger your ally."

Peace, Inspiration, & Love,
