The way I was raised, was to obtain material items by buying outright, and never leasing or renting. I am a firm believer in that, to this day. It grew into buying leather shoes and handbags, precious metals…and fur/crystals (specifically Swarovski Crystals). I spent over $4000 in fur and accessories one year. And it wasn’t…

Science, Please
What was your favorite subject in school? My all time favorite subject was science. It never explained any of its theories, and I enjoyed pondering about that. Topics that made sense – isotopes, nuclear energy, dispersion after either a leak or bombing, and scientific methods, with me completely hating math yet excelling in this area….
Self Respect is Lacking
What’s something you believe everyone should know. I’d venture to say self respect, which doesn’t always include pearl necklaces and mid length dresses. Can you say no, and walk away from someone who isn’t good for you? Don’t confuse self awareness with this topic either, because while being comfortable in your skin is important, it…
Taking My Power Back
The sun has not quite risen yet, and the sounds I play at night are still droning on. It’s dark, quiet. I love it this way. Soon, I’ll ascend from my bed, drink coffee and begin my day. Laundry is on the schedule, and I also have to bake cookies. I couldn’t do this about…
Weekly Reading October 17th-23rd 2024: Belief in Yourself is Magic
Full moons mean moon water, and charging our crystals. It also means it’s time to “reflect” on what we have in our lives and to show gratitude. When I set my affirmations, I ask for things that cannot be taken away. A full moon in Aries is ushering in new beginnings. Starting fresh, and starting…
Civility
What makes a good neighbor? From loud music no one wants to hear, to the laundry rooms being completely destroyed. I have huddled away into my home, and seldom speak to anyone. When I was growing up, the neighborhood of my origin was a lot kinder. The adults gave us food, yelled at us for…
Weekly Reading October 10th-16th 2024: Balanced Magic
Luna is at 50%, in the first quarter. The moon in Capricorn means…it’s time for business. This is a great time to finalize plans, finish projects, promote work and put your foot down. Capricorns are earth signs, workaholics, and extremely impatient. But for good reason. If no one else is going to do it, they…
Idling Firestorm
Caffeine is currently spiraling through my bloodstream – before I eat. Is that a bad habit? If so, it’s spiced chai tea, I feel as though coffee makes me overload. Midnight conversations with my significant other kept me up past my bedtime, but it was definitely worth it. His music is doing well because the…
Putting Out Little Fires
This has been mentioned in previous prompt answers, and it still stands. Typically, I am open and loving, so I feel both parties should express themselves. I never thought anyone would take advantage of that – using that time to insult and attempt to mentally degrade the other person, but it happens. When there isn’t…
Perceptions of the Clouded Mind
The world through my teenage eyes appeared as carnage, disguised as teaching. I had an art teacher in high school who was an absolute terror. I, of course, signed up for art class because I am an artist. I had no direction, just pure, untamed talent. To illustrate what the eyes can see is one…
