A new book and sad passings

Along with all the crazy things that hit me, I have been writing my second book, Veneficus. I am surprised to find the words flowing from my fingertip to the keyboard. It took me years to write the first book and about a year...and a half...to write this one. I am very happy with it. I struggled with the cover and feel that I now have exactly what I want.

I have talked to many of my witchy friends and they have been a great inspiration for me. It is always good to have support in any manner. Usually the support I get comes from my hosiery. Ok that was just a joke.

On another note, one of my oldest and dearest friend's mother passed away this Tuesday. I did not know her mom but a loss like that leaves a hole in one's heart and lingering reminder to all else that we are mortal.

No one wakes up in the morning thinking about death, well no one normal anyway. It is sad part of life that we all will go through one day but don't like to acknowledge until it is brought to our attention. When someone passes it reminds us of how short life really is, how it can go by so quickly when you're not looking and how important it is to leave this world with wonderful memories and how to leave them.

Here's to my friend and to her mother's journey home.

Day 6 Shake Day

This is day six and although there wasn't anything really eventful about the day there are updates to be shared. My husband and I have noticed that we are sleeping better and waking up with fewer aches and pains and issues. Now, we are not sure if that's because of the weight loss or the cleansing that we are going through. Also, I have noticed that while studying for my LSAT I have more focus and ability to analyze better. My exercise stamina is better. I did workout again at the gym but I am winding down. I am only doing 45 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes walking. No extra bike ride tonight. All in all, we are getting used to the program and feel that we have benefited from it. We are also going to continue try to reach our respective goal weight. Our next purchase will be the 30 program which we will share. Since it cost $200+ each we are trying save money by just splitting it. I will keep you posted and on Tuesday of next week (August 16th) I will post our 9 day pr...

Isn't this over yet?!

Sometimes I just want to scream! It feels like the last 2 and half years have just taken a crap on me and my family and there seems no end in sight.  Oh let's recap shall we... 2016 was my son's first open heart surgery followed by a plethora of doctor's appointments and other surgeries. I thought it was over by the end of the year and took the advice of Whitney Houston and friends when I exhaled. However, my fun filled days were not over yet and I found myself dumbfounded by the turn of events in my life.  2017 started out fine...well not really. January brought us the bad news that our black Lab Molly Mae had cancer. It was in her bones and basically there was nothing to do but love her.  So, that's what we did. We took her home and loved her. Then, in April we were informed that my son needed to have another open heart surgery because the tissue valve that they put in was not performing the way that they thought that it would and now needed ...

Nail Journal Update

No, my five wonderful readers, I have not forgotten about you. I went camping! Yes, yours truly went into the woods and camped. Actually I drove through the woods to a cabin. But before you say that's not real camping. Let me elaborate. It was a one room cabin, no running electricity, no running water, no restroom. See...that is camping.  And before you say "ewww" there was an outhouse down the dirt road for us to use. Now you can say ew.  Really it wasn't so bad.  We camped out in Hermit Park by Estes Park Colorado .  So we were out there for 4 nights, 5 days. That's a lot when you have to ration water, keep your own food cold in the cooler (which this wasn't too hard since there was still snow on the ground) and figure out lighting at night. Now in all fairness, the cabin had propane lighting and a stove with a heater, Not too bad.  Why am I telling you this and what does this have to do with nails? I'll tell you.  As you ...
