Ramblings of a Geeky Witch
I confess, I fell off the wagon after being totally exhausted last week. I meant to catch up – but I think my body was telling me to chill out and just rest. So just assume that my daily gratitude for the past week was cozy quiet. Last week was absolutely nuts between all of […]
It’s about 11:30 pm. I’ve been puttering all evening between my journal, some Witchy class catchup, and intentionally avoiding the news from the Massachusetts-New Hampshire border until official announcements have been made. It’s been a lovely, quiet evening. I am grateful for quiet. I relish in puttering around my office in peace. With the holiday […]
My husband and I are crazy cat people. We’re THOSE PEOPLE in the neighborhood. You know – the ones that seem to have an invisible neon sign over the house that attracts all of the stray animals? Yeah, that’s us. In our twenty years of living in our current home, that has led to many […]
I can count about how many days I’ve missed journaling this year between my fingers and toes. Some entries were generic “Here’s what I did today….” entries. Other entries were lists of stuff I wanted to do. Some entries were interpreting the Tarot and Oracle cards I pulled. A lot, though, were reflections on parts […]
I feel a bit better today after yesterday’s venting. Still uneasy, but I remind myself that being disturbed by horrific acts of violence is a reassurance that I am still a functioning human being. Thankfully Mondays are one of my work-from-home days, so I was able to work through thoughts as I puttered through administrative […]
Yesterday afternoon as I was getting my nails done at my neighborhood shop, I watched the TV on the wall. The Army-Navy game was on. And then a bright red breaking news banner flashed across the screen. Active Shooter Situation at Brown – Developing Story. My heart absolutely dropped. The horror of America has come […]
I missed a day of the Gratitude Challenge to attend my company’s annual holiday party last night. When it was over, I was feeling a bit hungry, so I treated myself to a supper out alone. I haven’t done that in quite a while. My server was awesome – friendly, working her ass off between […]
At 9 pm U.S. Eastern every Wednesday, I get together with a group of journal writers via YouTube and Facebook for a series of prompts on Livestream. As I type this entry, we’re wrapping up our post-writing discussion on the holidays. One of the topics was to think about three things we’re especially grateful for […]
December 9, 2025 Today is Day Nine of the December Gratitude Challenge… For the past few months, I’ve been on a bit of a journey of self rediscovery. I’ve been reconnecting with my Pagan faith. I’ve ben writing nearly daily in my journal, and perhaps most importantly, I’ve been feeling – and embracing – the […]
December 8, 2025 Today is Day 8 of the December Gratitude Challenge. It was a day of recovery for me – I woke up feeling under the weather but slept in, and I feel like I slept off my yukky feelings. I still feel wiped out, though. Hopefully an early bedtime will kick the rest […]
