Well, first off I will say...........Thank the goddess for the coming of the light! This has been a very interesting dark half of the year with a lot of transition and change. Some ups and downs, some more extreme than others.

Life is still super busy and stressful but I am hanging in there and doing a darn good job of it so far. I am still working and unsure if layoffs are going to happen in July. I have worked real hard at a plan and I feel confident in the plans I have now. Financially we will be good so I can atleast exhale.

Beltane was great. We had it at our friend Willow's house and everyone's family and friends were able to come and participate. Jon and the older boys came. We all had lots of fun doing the Maypole, ritual and a bonfire. The kids especially liked the maypole and the bonfire. It was nice having them there to be a part of the festivities and not be excluded from the celebrations.

All the women were great and supportive with everyone's friends and families. Keith called in the God with me and I was very proud of him. We called in the green man because he liked him the best.

Marian is still pregnant and ready to pop. She is 34 weeks and counting. It is getting really hard on her and I hope she has a speedy delivery. She's hanging in there like a trooper but it is taking it's toll on her.

I finished my first degree again!!! I was pleased about that and felt a real sense of accomplishment. So I am moving on in my studies to the second degree and almost finished with my requirements to get clergy through this tradition as well. I am glad to be moving on to the next phase. Although I went through the first degree with the last "group" I was in, I now know it was not an honest process. At first I was a little resentful to do it all again but I am glad I did, I learned what was missed by doing it the second time. If I hadn't I would have never known the wholes that had been left out. Interesting how life happens like that.

I finished reflexology class and that was fun. Lots of stuff to remember and work on. My next class in Intermediate Acupressure which is in May.

I got my second degree Reiki attunement about 2 weeks ago. In about a week or so I will be moving onto masters level Reiki. I am excited about that as well.

Well, until next time.
Blessings times 3!
