Searching for something greater, I embark on a journey into the unknown. Where does this road lead and how changed will I be on the other side? Do what you gotta do, even the rotten jobs need to get done by someone.
I will survive.
The fear of what is found, will not overtake me. As I call on the power of fire, earth, water and air give me strength to rid myself, of this unnecessary evil. Help me to finally clean out my damn desk!
If I could accomplish this seemingly impossible task, who knows what could be next? What starts out as an orderly desk, slowly turns into total world domination.
As I fight for air under piles and piles of multicoloured Post-its and used fishnet stockings that I hope are mine… I wonder, how many lists can one person make? Millions is the harshly obvious answer.
Ready for a cleanse.
I started the new year with three books; the first is on Italian Folk Magic. I promise not to turn anyone into a miniature frog or anything.
I have been sprinkling a bit of salt on the ground regularly when I sweep the floor as the book recommends. This is to rid the room of other unwanted stuff in the form of negative energies and old emotions. Have to say that somehow the room feels cleaner after I do this. As if I’m cleansing the air or the, “feeling” in the room. Almost like, Magic!
The second is, The Diary of Frida Kahlo. You know that question, if you could have dinner with anyone in history who would you choose?
I think my choice, would be her. Then one dinner drink, would turn into two or three and who knows where the night would take us. Who knows…
The woman is a goddess, end of story. She was brilliant, ahead of her time and ever so desirable. Heat up your seat this winter with some of her striking art, you won’t regret it.
Uh oh it’s getting late I think it must be, Bedtime For Frances.
Like this book’s character, I also enjoy having cute things on my bed!
It is time for Frances to go to bed.
But how can she sleep when a GIANT is in her room?
How can I?

This was touching in a unique way that I find hard to describe. The finale was beautiful.
While reading the post I was wondering why the image of a salt shaker. Thanks for this
suggestion, I will spread a little salt myself.
Oh, and I wouldn’t mind you turning this miature frog into a prince.
Have a beautiful weekend.

Thank you so much for these lovely words. My day was made brighter by your comment, I really appreciate it! Let me know how the salt sprinkling goes and if you also notice a positive result. Oh Andrew, how can I turn you into a prince when you already are one? Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!

In my belief system we are taught that God gave us authority over spirits and such. Just issue the command for them to leave and they have no choice. No rituals, just faith in God’s word that he said the authority is ours plain and simple. Dealing with the negative emotions and such is a little more difficult . It’s hard to learn to let go of the past. I eventually came to the conclusion that whatever you feed grows and whatever you starve dies. I’m by no means 100% successful in not feeding my negative emotions but I do manage to keep them down to a manageable level.

Thank you Lloyd! You make a bunch of important points here. Dealing with negative emotions can be quite difficult, but it’s a challenge that is worth our effort. I love the idea of starving the negativity. Feeding the positive and reprogramming ourselves to see and focus on the good is definitely a step in the right direction.

Bedtime for Frances! Haven’t thought of this in years. Though I have excuses to go to bed rather than not go to bed these days…
