Fall Is Coming!!

Fall is coming, and I cannot wait!  It is my favorite time of year.

While everyone is going crazy for the pumpkin everything, I am looking forward to the changing colors...

Between Mabon and Samhain, I can't wait for the oranges and browns that will saturate the earth for us as we prepare to move our lives inside.

I am looking forward to the cooling air and the scents that fall provides for us.

It's a time to fill our cupboards and closets for those cold months of winter.  To make sure that we have everything we need to maintain ourselves when we cannot.

I am stocking up my fall/winter reading, favorite foods and the things I need for my magickal practice.  I also have my fiction section stocked up too.

I have gone back to using a planner, and I think that I will start doing more with it so that I can write in my journal and in Outlander Musings more.  i should block time out for those activities.

I noticed that I have kept this blog for fifteen years come October.  That is exciting and I hope that I can continue The Blue Rose Journal on for a very long time. I just need to write again.

As the nostalgia bloomed in me, I went on Kindle and bought most of the books that I had once read and reviewed here.  I thought that it would be great to read those books once again and go back here and read my reviews on those books.

I was reading through here and missed those book reviews that I once did here.  I thought that it would be nice if I can do that again...and this time, include the books I read on my spiritual path.  That may go a long way towards keeping this blog active and help me remember to write more often...of course, it will give me more to do than just going for walks and sitting around watching movies all day.

It is now time for me to reactivate myself and get back to doing the things that I love so much!

Blessed be!

Life Is Getting There

It has been a very good month so far.

I have been doing most of the routines and taking the vitamins like I used to, and I am feeling a lot better.

I have been walking a lot more these days, connecting with nature and getting my spiritual groove back.  I think that things will be better once I am 100% back to my normal self.

Recently, I have been itching to recreate my alter.  I have been getting everything that I will need to set up.  I have a lot of stuff for my alter, but I just wanted a few little things that will enhance my spiritual power.

I am buying more books for my path as well so that I can enhance my growth as a Wiccan and strengthen my knowledge.  

Saturday, I am getting a huge witchy haul and I am so excited for the items to come in.  I have some crystals, books and other things that I fell in love with.  I can't wait to get them.

 Tomorrow, I will be getting some of the things that I ordered and I cannot wait to see them.

At this point, I am starting to feel better with myself and my life.  I am getting along with my family, I have found an old friend, and I am going back on my path.  

I am looking forward to Mabon this year.  I didn't celebrate Lamas, so Mabon will be my first celebration coming back in.  I am excited.

Everything seems to be getting better!

Mists of Avalon

Two days in a row!  WOW!! I have been re-reading Mists of Avalon.   I know, last year I was supposed to be a part of a book discussion on it...
