My Spirit Team is still with me and has never left my side as they guide me on my path.

The hardest part in writing a novel is not the novel, it's the synopsis. My novel is written in past tense; the synopsis must be in present tense. It is a whole new learning experience. I'm only on the first go-round of the synopsis. BUT I"ve done the Query Letter so ....

[writecreateyellow]

I finished writing my novel. I wrote my Query letter and included the "Book, Hook, and Cook" parts as recommended. I am just beginning the synopsis and that is going to be the most difficult part of this whole thing. BUT! It means I'm that much closer to getting the literary agent that I have my sights on. I have been manifesting this entire journey since 2019 and so far everything has been going smoothly. I have no doubt because to truly manifest you have to "see" yourself accomplishing it in the here and now as I have been doing.

If you see it it will happen.

It's been awhile since I've been here. I have no one to blame but myself for I've been blythely wandering through other social media platforms. I got sucked in willingly.

My current WIP is at the stage of beta reader. I have one beta reader currently working on it and hope to hear from her soon. My next step is to follow through on the search for a literary agent. I've set my sights on one agency already and know that it'll pan out; it is after all what I've been manifesting for the past two years.

Follow your dreams, whatever they may be, make them come true. Don't let anyone, including yourself, tell you otherwise.

The best gift that I gave this year was whole geodes. I gave 3 each to my dau, my sister, my Mom, and myself. Once we figured out the best way to crack them open (very easy btw) it was wonderful. There was so much oohhing and aahhing at all the sparkles we broke into. Very mesmerizing and awe-inspiring afternoon. I highly recommend others do this. (got the geodes on etsy! of course) I smile when I look at them and I'm glad I provided insta-smiles for my family as well.

My WIP is so close to being done with the second full-on edit!! I'm brainstorming an excerpt now. So hard to not tell all but to entice readers at the same time. I accept the challenge!

Nature's handiwork

Driving to work on a foggy morning in NH something caught my eye. I looked up into the power lines that lined the road I was on and there were what looked like shredded strands of something hanging from them. As the fog lifted, the dew that was left behind made many, many spider webs visible to the naked eye. They were pretty big as they were strung between the gaps in the wires. A couple were really big. I was very impressed with the hard work that went into those webs. Had I not looked up when I did I would have missed the show. I wonder how many other morning drivers witnessed this as well. Or was it just for me?

Every once in a while I'm the one that needs a little extra special attention.

Don't forget to keep those vibes light and airy and happy, happy, happy! Be the beacon for others to follow. Don't wallow in the heavy, dark parts of your brain. Spoken from experience.

Yesterday I took two steps back by allowing myself to get all ticked off from driving into two big-ass potholes. They were filled with rain water and I didn't see them. Sounds lame. But I regressed and let out a whole string of nasty words. I apologized to the Universe as I swore because I obviously needed to get it out of my system.

Today on my way to work I actually felt better. I guess I just needed to release the kraken because the sun was shining and I was in a much better frame of mind. That's what happens when there's too many rainy, cloudy days in a row for a green witch like me.

Lesson learned: let it out and get over it and you'll feel better for it. Don't dwell on it. It's done.

Happy Beltane everyone! Since it’s not quite planting season in NH I bought pretty flowers for my kitchen table. They make me smile every time I enter and that’s the whole point.

[writecreateyellow]

Be careful because it’s very easy to slip into the shadow side and not realize it. Stay happy and carefree and spread the light! Keep those happy vibes up, up, up!

Caring for an elderly Mom is a humbling experience. I have learned that when I’m with Mom I have an incredible amount of patience except when grocery shopping. I’m working on that.

My almost 89 year old mother has had a rough year. Shortly after Covid struck  her world changed, as did most everyone else’s. Her short term memory started to go very suddenly. Soon by the time summer was over she had trouble remembering what we were talking about mid-conversation. I’ve learned through all this that to her nothing is wrong until it is, meaning when she calls me and says she’s having a bad day, I can talk her out of that frame of mind by simply going over why she thinks this, and turning it all around. For all the years she helped us, I’m one of three dau’s all in our 60′s, I have no qualms helping her in her times of need. I am thankful that I live nearby and that she can call me for the little issues as well as the bigger ones. I know her time is coming but until then we’re making the most of the time she’s able to remember.

I sent a request out to all my past kitties and my Mom’s past kitties to help her current kitty pass peacefully. I believe they will.

I had a personal mission to ‘spread the happy’ in 2020. As tough as that year was I managed to keep my positive vibes up and by so doing was an unwitting inspiration for others. So here’s to continuing that path in 2021. There’s no expiration date on that, so pass it on! You’ll be amazed at how staying in a higher vibration will positively affect you and those around you.

Keep your vibes as high as possible. Every good, happy, positive vibe is needed to help everyone through the last of 2020 and into 2021. As a collective, we can do it!
