Spring Is In The Air..............................

Even though my favorite time of the year is autumn I can't help but notice that spring is in the air! You can tell by the warmer weather and the grass and the buds on the trees!

I was reminded of this while I was out earlier today gathering the trash for the trash pick-up. Besides noticing the warmer temperatures it gave me a chance to look at the remnants of my garden. There are of course lots of weeds and some debri that has to be cleaned up but that is getting to be part of the fun of having a garden!

While I will be planting and growing vegetables I'm also thinking about the herbs that I want to plant this year as well! And I'm thinking about the herbs that I plant going into the food that I will be making too!

I just want to try everything!

While I Do Practice And Believe In Astrology......

I do know that I shouldn't let it run / ruin my life. What I mean to say is that I agree with the idea that one can use astrology as a guide and/or as insight into what the "stars" say about you and your future. But don't use it to the point that you go by your astology reading only your astology reading alone!

For instance I remember reading my horoscope one day (not from my own chart but from my horoscope that I read in the newspaper) and it said that I was going to be robbed! Well I worried so much about that that my whole day was ruined because I was worrying about what this horoscope had predicted for me that day. It turns out that the reading was right because I had been "robbed" of my day - meaning that I didn't live my day as I normally would have.

Since then I have learned more about astrology and I know that now the interpretations and readings can have more than one meaning!

Here is my horoscope reading for today that I got online:



Now this reading does ring true because I have a family member who is quite sick and the last time I talked to them they were in the hospital. I do have another relative who does kind of live on the "wild" side but - for the most part - I really don't judge him. But the astrological reading is quite accurate in that I really shouldn't judge them because I don't want to be judged by them. It's a very good and pretty accurate reading!

Below you will see a chart that I made myself today because I was curious after reading my online horoscope.

My Sun is in the 1st house which represents my identity and how I feel about myself which today - I'm feeling pretty good about myself!

My moon is in the 7th house which means that I'm having some "issues" with some relationships (which seems to correspond with my other reading above!)

As you can see I also have a lot of planet's in the first house today which I interpret to mean that I'm having some "issues" with myself as well - which is true because I am going back and forth about what is good and what is not so good with my life right now. That is why I decided (actually I was inspired) to start a new blog about myself and the kind of life that I want to live!



I'm trying to keep my thoughts positive and I am continuing to focus on the things that I do want (and not the things that I don't want).

There Is A Witches Group In My Area!

I was going through my email today and noticed that I got mail from Meetup.com. I had forgot that I was a member! I belong to thePhiladelphia Witches Group. (You may want to check and see if their are any witch groups in your area.)

It's nice to think that there is an actual witch's group in my area. But sadly I just haven't had the nerve to go to any of their events yet. I guess I'm hiding behind the excuse that I don't have a car but I notice that a lot of their events are ones that I can get to using public transportation. There are also some unrelated issues that I'm trying to solve which is really blocking my desires to be free of worry.

I'm glad to know that the group is there just in case I change my mind and decide to go.

I'm sure many of you belong to witchy-related groups and are glad that you have them in your own area.

Getting One of My Dreams Fulfilled!

One of my dreams has always been to be able to be comfortably trapped in by a snowstorm. I'd have all of my supplies right here with me and I wouldn't have to step outside unless I wanted to. Well it has happened to me today!

The weather outside is just terrible! Accidents are occurring everywhere and there are delays at the airport. Schools are closing early and I can hear the sleet coming down outside.

Meanwhile I am nicely tucked away inside my house with the radio playing soft music in the background and my cat is in the next room where I can see her and she can see me! I decided to open the curtains in the kitchen where I was having a light breakfast of pasty and tea. Later on for dinner I'm going to have the stew that I made a few days before. Stew is a perfect meal to have in weather like this! It's almost as if the stew was made just for this occassion!

Mind you I still have dreams about being in this kind of situation and they involve me and having a fireplace! I haven't given that dream up!

What I am trying to say is that you should never give up on your dreams! I'm going through a period in my life where everything is not how I want it to be and I have learned that I have to focus on how I want it to be and not focus on how I don't want it to be. Does that make sense? Yesterday I was just surfing online and looking at websites for inspirations and advice. Basically they all said that in order to have the life you want you have to already see it and believe it in your mind. It's just as simple as that. But its not all that simple because (at least in my case) those negative thoughts and negative images always show theirselves in my mind. I was even watching a rerun episode of "Frasier" and in it Niles was giving advice to a basketball player who was in a slump (Sounds like me) and the advice that he gave was to picture yourself actually achieving what it is you want. (There's that advice again!) And when a negative thought comes into your mind think of a pleasant thought - something like a pleasant childhood experience. All of it is good advice and I have to work on this more! Those negative thoughts and images seem as though they are trying to push their way into my positive thoughts. And from the advice on the webpages that I have seen the solution to that is to find out why those negative thoughts and images keep pushing their way in. Do I think that I don't desearve happiness and abundance? Why do I think that? The advice states that happiness and abundance and wealth is everybody's birthright! That goes for me and you and everybody else that you can think of!

The "Secret"

I have been hearing a lot about this. I heard Oprah talking about it as she was promoting one of her shows but since she didn't say what "the secret" was in her promo, I didn't think more about it. I have since come to find out that "the secret" is a concept to bring whatever it is you want in your life - be it money, to lose weight or have the relationship of your dreams.

I have found the link to a short video that shows this concept. Here is the link:

Personally I thought it was a very powerful video short and I'll let you decide for yourself once you view it. I downloaded it and want to use it as my screensaver (as soon as I figure out how to do that).

This is also my first visit to youtube though I have heard a lot about it.

So take a look at the video short and you can decide for yourself whether you like it or not.

I certainly want to attract abundance and wealth into my life!
