Ebb, flow and witchcraft

As I write this post, it's raining outside. I have turned off all the lights and am working only by candlelight. It sets the mood. At least, the mood I've been in lately. I feel like my ebb and flow is peaking. In my youth, my ebb and flow where more like consistent waves nothing too turbulent or calm. Now that I'm in my 40's my ebbs are very deep and my flow is very forceful. It's funny that there are no calm consistencies in my life right now but at this age I have to act like I have stability and yield to conformity. I can't just fly off the handle and beat someone with my shoe because they act like a moron. No matter how much they richly deserve it. I'm an adult and as such am expected to act a certain way. On the other hand, my aggressive nature has increased and I must do everything I can to dowse the fire of passion I have for certain subjects, to enable me not to look like I'm crazy. 

It funny how life is and how I just really what to be me but that's not possible without looking like a nut. I have to "act" like a mom, when I wanna be a friend. I have to "act" like an adult, when I just want to go outside and swing on the swings and feel the butterflies in my stomach. I have to be "professional" when that is another way of saying boring. 

If I could make a living writing I would. Then this whole issue would be mute. Unfortunately, I haven't won the lottery yet and my books are not exactly flying off the shelves. That does make me wonder, every so often, if that makes me a bad writer or that I should hire a marketing firm to help. Not sure yet.

I am writing another book but this one is about witchcraft. I don't really want to give too much away but it's about a coven. I feel that vampires and werewolves have had their time in the spotlight and it's time for us witches to have our fair share of the fame. Perhaps this book will be my crowing achievement. Who knows? 

I will be dropping hints about my new book so you, my five readers, can get a small hint at the greatness yet to come! Well, I'm off to finish chapter three. 

Until next time....

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 ...

3 day nail check in

It had been three days since I have removed my nails and coated them with Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps nail covering. Now the directions say to take off the polish after three days and restart the process all over again with two (2) new coats. When they say that you need to remove the polish after three days and start over, they mean it. Here is what happens on the third day, prompting you to remove the polish. My nails with the initial tear on the polish. The polish starts to lift and tear off. It started with a small uplift on the side of my nails and I pulled off the rest. Surprisingly, the whole thing came off without having to use nail polish remover.The problem with that, though, is that my nails underneath are still very thin and weak.  In this picture the nail is bent. It's a little hard to see it but I am bending my nail. The weak condition of my nails has continued and I see no real change to them . The next picture is of  the top of my nail, showing the te...

It's been three months....

Okay it's been three months since I started this journey. I had decided to stop being a slave to my fake nails and go all natural. For better or worse, I wanted to stop putting so many chemicals in and on my body and just let nature take it's course. Having said that, I knew I was in for a rough ride. For starters, I have been wearing solar/acrylic nails since I was sixteen years old. I now have a 16 year old daughter of my own, so you do the math...I will not help.  Anyway, The first two months were hard. My nails were so thin and weak that I could actually bend what little nail I had backwards without pain. So I cut my nails down to the quick and decided to start new. I first started with using Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps but found out that they have formaldehyde in it. So I changed. I over to Nail-Aid's Keratin and 3 Minute Artificial. It is made in America and does not use formaldehyde and does NOT test on animals.  So, I saw little to no improvement...
