Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies and single daddies out there! Today has been a crazy day for me. Two of my three boys didn't want to behave at all today. But my loving boyfriend did watch the boys for me while my mom, my sister and I all went out for Mother's Day supper. So that was very nice of him, and I got a much-needed short break. Me, my mom, my sister.I have completed something new on my 101 List! I was finally able to meet a couple of people on my Facebook friends list that I had not pre...
I have had so much going on lately. I have been helping out friends and family, keeping up on my school work, and looking for a place to live.I put in my 30-day notice today, once again, to move out of this crappy little town. I found some more opportunities so I'm certain it will work this time around. Summer is right around the corner and the kids are getting picked on more and more. I don't want to spend another whole summer here with the way my kids get treated. If everything works out the way I woul...
I've been doing a lot of thinking, meditating and soul-searching lately. I got to thinking about the concept of time. How time is our 4th dimension, followed by depth, width, and height. How time seems to be linear, and looking out into space we see our past... and the further the distance, the further into the past we can see. And how we are being rapidly propelled toward our future. There is no pause button, and nothing waits for us to be ready. I would love to be able to look from a distance into my p...
<---- PLEASE VOTE ON POLL AFTER READINGWhen I found myself in my Pagan spirituality I was 14. I chose the name Stardustt Moonshadow as my Pagan name because it called to me. I didn't know anything about the Vegas Stardust, or anything of that sort. I chose it because I felt it defined me and my love of the cosmos. In 2009 I lost my faith, and when I found my way back in 2011 I decided to rename myself to define my renewed spirituality. However, I'm not feeling comfortable with Astraea Sapphire. I don't f...
~~***DIY PROJECT--Garden Chandelier***~~ Outdoor entertaining is one of the highlights of summer, so make your evening gatherings even brighter by adding the soft, eco-friendly candlelight of a garden chandelier. This beautiful piece of energy efficient decor is a wonderful way to reuse any little glass jars you have laying around your kitchen. Yogurt jars are perfect, but baby food jars and other small glass jars will work just as well. This is also a great way to reuse a circular cooling rack if...
Today was the bright but cloudy day I have been waiting for. So I grabbed up my camera and headed out to the local botanical park. There were a few blooms to take photos of. Here's just a sample of what I got. To see the rest, please visit my Facebook page (linked to the right).
Pagan Blog Project, week 13*Disclaimer: This article is NOT written by me, and is credited at the bottom."Geomancy" is derived from the Latin "geomantia," which in turn is derived from the Greek for "divination by earth." The Arabic name for geomancy, "'ilm al-raml," means "the science of the sand." In its original form, the geomantic figure was created by making lines of random numbers of dots in the sand, hence the name. Medieval European writers agreed that it was also acceptable to draw the dots on a...
Not too long ago in the post Spring Is Here I mentioned that I had met someone. I found out today that everything was a lie. But first let me tell the whole story. Back on the 1st of March I posted Dream Or Alternate Reality. Take a moment to read that if you haven't already..... Ok, now that you've read that, you know I really wanted to go to Hawaii. Once I found the place to live and all those details were covered, I decided to start trying to meet people. I placed an ad on Craigslist just to feel out...
Pagan Blog Project, week 12In European folklore and folk-belief of the Medieval and Early Modern periods, familiar spirits (sometimes referred to simply as "familiars") were supernatural entities believed to assist witches and cunning folk in their practice of magic. According to the records of the time, they would appear in numerous guises, often as an animal, but also at times as a human or humanoid figure, and were described as "clearly defined, three-dimensional… forms, vivid with color and animated ...

Just please, explain the photo you post for each day. Write a couple of sentences on why your photo fits, and what it means to you. This list takes you through all the elements and...
