Kitchen Witchery: Forward Momentum Tea 🫖

A little for those days when you feel stuck.

1 black tea bag (I am fond of lapsang souchong when I have it because the smokiness is perfect. But use whatever works best for you!)

Cinnamon chips

Ginger root

Orange peel

Adjust the proportions to suit your taste. I tend to prefer a little more orange peel, but my aunt always preferred a more cinnamon-forward note.

As the tea steeps for 5 minutes, watch the steam for a moment. Say, "Heat to the herb, life to the bone. I'm taking back control, I'm taking back the throne."

Adding honey and milk to your tastes and sip your tea, visualizing pulling yourself out of your rut and breaking through obstacles.

Last time I found myself dealing with grief, I made a list of rules.

Stay Alive (the temptation to follow your loved one is normal but do NOT do it)

Don't Destroy Your Life (the temptation to raze your life to the ground, if you can't kill yourself, is also normal. But don't do it)

Go To Therapy (mandatory)

Keep The Lights On (pay your bills, etc.)

Those got me through some tough moments. Grief is far more intense and complicated than some people believe.

At the time, I was grieving the horrific loss of a parent (due to cancer). Right now, I'm grieving the loss of myself and the life I once imagined.

Death is still part of it (a lot of people and pets have died) but the grief is showing itself differently this time. I may need to adjust the rules a bit.

I am not a threat to myself. I have no desire to die, thank everything. Don't worry!

The thing is- I may have to reinvent my life this time.

I'm wishing a very Happy Pride Month to all the queer people who:

are disabled

are chronically ill

can't celebrate for health reasons

disability gets in the way of their gender representation

disability got in the way of a relationship

don't have anyone to celebrate with

have homophobic caretakers

Happy Pride Month to all disabled queer people

Me blocking people: I have no personal feelings about this person whatsoever, some of their posts just end up on my dashboard way too often.

Me, realizing I've been blocked by a complete stranger: Ah, they have seen the part of my soul that's rotten.

at least can all we agree that the original gay flag with the magic and sex colours is BEAUTIFUL and it should make a comeback

[funkyness]

what’s more iconic than this

[azeroundivided]

What about the final version of the flag by the original creator?

Gilbert Baker added a 9th stripe shortly before his death, with the new stripe representing diversity. He added this stripe in reaction to the 2016 US election. It’s unfortunately not as well known as the 8 and 6 striped versions.

Here’s an image of him sewing together the 9 striped rainbow flag.

Democrats, are you taking notes? This is how you get shit done.

“Do it scared” “do it alone” are all great tips, but my biggest takeaway from therapy is do it messy. This is especially true if you’re getting out of a burnout, which I experience often. Literally just do it messy. You don’t need to pick the perfect trail to walk, the perfect playlist to listen to, whatever the fuck it is. You don’t need to have a meticulous to do list and wake up at the exact time you planned and drink the exact amount of water you planned to drink. Like the biggest thing for people like me to remember is sometimes it’s okay to do it messy. Put on a random yt workout and just get it done in sweats. Do 5 minutes of a daunting task and go from there. Sometimes just getting up is a win during intense burnouts or depressive funks. Literally just do it messy.
