I’m back (deep exhale of relief). It’s been so long, and I’m finally back on my blog.
It turns out I’ve managed to push myself out of my own space, crowding myself out with real estate, ghost writing, book publishing, and even tarot and channelling. I forgot that this was my space, a blog for me to be me.
I thought I simply didn’t blog because I had my paper journal, and I’ve been writing in it almost every day, and therefore it had been enough.
How wrong I was.
I had to:
- decide that I was leaving real estate this year (and stick to it),
- accidentally close down 26 Letters, the company I started to hold my ghost writing and book and website publishing (I simply forgot to renew it),
- start Witchy Therapy as a business, and build up that site,
- move things around from this site to Witchy Therapy, and
- bring back some of my old pages,
for me to breathe that sigh of relief, and think of coming back here, tonight, to blog.
It’s been such a long time.
I’ve missed this.
Now, I don’t have hours and hours open to me. It’s 11:28 pm and I need to be curled up in bed by midnight if I want a chance to enjoy my day tomorrow, so I’ll let myself type away until the time comes. So if I end up cutting this post suddenly, you’ve already been given a heads-up.
(Are you kidding? My wrists are already complaining about the position they’re holding. It’s only been a few minutes!)
So, what have I been up to, lately?
Er… apart from the updates in the bullet points…
I’ve been TikTok-ing.
Which is a bit of a surprise. I got on and posted about 30 videos since the end of January (it’s now the end of March). I’ve become used to the sound of my actual voice, with all the replays when I edit my captions. I haven’t gotten used to my singing voice though.
Jarrod and I are in a healthy space.
We’ve had our upsets and tears and hugs and kisses, he understands me and encourages me and I try to do the same… I’m still learning that a healthy relationship looks like this. To fight to understand, and not fight each other.
The relaionship bank has deposits and withdrawals and we still miss each other on days we’re not together (which I am still learning to cope with, healthily, instead of moping about).
(moping? mopeing?)
A 2nd engagement ring.
I did ask for a change in my engagement ring… *feeling guilty* because the first one had pave-set stones (tiny stones set on the band) and they kept catching and pulling the threads of my clothes because I’m not careful with them.
I ended up getting an upgrade because the new ring has an even bigger centre stone, with another big stone on each side. *grin* And I am in love with the way a larger stone looks, which makes me question why I ever fell in love with micro-stone dainty jewellery.
I’ve learned I need low sensory days and have implemented a Hot Chocolate Thursday.
These are two separate things, but it’s 11:45 pm and I’m in a rush.
Hot Chocolate Thursday came first, because I saw it on a book title and thought it was a cute me-date idea. I had one already, I went out window shopping and walking about and taking the time to fill my own cup, listening to my own desires and fulfilling them. (Highly recommended.)
Low sensory days came about because I realised I got overstimulated if I didn’t set those days. I’ve always hit a 49%, 51% on the introvert-extrovert scale, and I think this is evidence I’m more of an introvert than an extrovert.
(the shoulder blades are complaining. seriously, have I been away for that long?)
11:49 pm, I have ten more minutes, and I still need to set a picture to this post, as well as an extract, a title… I guess I will stop here.
It’s been nice to come back. I’m glad Goddess and my baby got me to start Witchy Therapy.
Oh yeah, the last thing.
My Goddess has shifted.
Aphrodite has passed me over to Hekate. Hecate. To continue my education.
Bye!
