Mabon: What I am letting go

This year has been all about big changes in our life. In a way, its a small death. I've given up a job I loved, moved 200 miles away from the place I grew up, have given birth to our son, my daughter changing schools, etc... I know this change is right, but it isn't easy.

So I am giving up the life I had in Kentucky. For the first time, I am no longer 10 minutes away from my mother. Now let me explain, that I have a love/hate kind of relationship with my mother. She gets on my nerves, but I still love her.

I already know that it will be about a year before we start seeing our change come to fruition. Were more than halfway through now. We just have to keep our head up and keep pushing forward. I hope in the end, its worth it.

I think Mabon is a good time to sit back and notice the good things in life. To be thankful for what we have, to let go of what is toxic in our life. I can't say there is a lot of toxic things in our life at the moment. Despite living with my In laws we all get along fairly well. What drama does come up, I try to stay out of.

So I am thankful for my family, my friends, and thankful that I am finally getting back to my writing. Its a creative outlet I've missed!

Have a wonderful Mabon,

Have a wonderful Mabon!

To all my Pagan, Witchy, and Wiccan friends, have a wonderful Mabon! Last Saturday we celebrated Mabon with Lynn and the members of Innana's Spiritual Center. We had a lovely ceremony at the Yoctangee park in Chillicothe. Then we had a potluck dinner with good friends and camaraderie. I was going to take pictures of our Mabon tree for this post, but alas I was wrestling a 15 lb baby the whole day and forgot.

I've saw a lot of great posts about Mabon cooking lately. From Pumpkin pies to bread, it all sounds wonderful. I think I'm just going to stick with making sloppy joes for dinner and maybe I'll make muffins or a cake today. I know I could get a lot more elaborate, but I think I'll focus on my writing. :)

So again, Happy Mabon!

How was your Weekend? Happy Monday!

Good Monday morning everyone. So how was your weekend? Mine went pretty well. Normally on Wednesdays I go to the women's group at Innana's Spiritual Center. They are lovely Pagan ladies and we chat about various topics. I skipped last weeks meeting because I wanted to save some gas so I could go to their Mabon harvest celebration on Saturday. I was going to get pictures of everyone and our harvest tree, but alas, I was busy with my 4 month old so it never crossed my mind. I must give a thumbs up for baby wearing in the circle! My daughter was a trooper though, she didn't feel like participating so she held Wyatt for a while so I could be in circle. But at the end she got tired and that's when I popped Wyatt into my Moby wrap and we were good to go.

If your in the Chillicothe Ohio area drop by Innanas for a visit. They have some exciting things happening there. There is a woman's retreat as well as some other things. I unfortunately won't be able to go to some of those. But I continue to go almost every Wednesday and some Saturdays just for some social interaction.

Sunday I wrote a bit more on the All Hallows Grim Blog Party. I have the outline almost complete and I have a couple of paragraphs written. So far I think its going to be more sexy than scary, but that's just my style.

Dh's mom made a fantastic Sunday dinner. She is an awesome cook. She made sweet rolls, homemade chicken noodles and mashed potatoes. Yummy!

Well I hope your coming week is fantastic! Happy Mabon everyone.
