It has been 2 years to (almost) the day since I wrote my last blog post. WTF. It’s been a bit of a blur. Where does the time go? I haven’t been able to sleep well the past couple nights, so I find myself poking at my website. I need to write more blog posts, I need to add products and services to sell. So much I want to do, and not just with this website, but with my life. Will it all happen? Everything feels upside down right now.

Like all of us, I find myself in this strange floating land of in-between due to the interesting novel buggy (virus) that is going around. I have so much more time, but yet the days are flying. I feel like I’m not doing anything, yet my house is cleaner and I’m more productive than I usually am. I do miss seeing my friends in person more than anything. I miss going to restaurants and my favorite bar Cafe Van Kleef in Oakland. I miss visiting my local magical/metaphysical store The Raven’s Wing (also my former place of work). I miss feeling like I have freedom to go where I please when I please. And while I am brave and strong, I too am scared of what is to come on so many levels. And yet I am also excited. I suppose fear and excitement are often intertwined.

I don’t know what the future holds. I see so many possibilities. So in that sense, I do see what is to come, I see all of the Universes that could unfold. I have consulted the sacred Tarot and my Spirit guides, the two cards I pulled the other day when asking about the current situation of the world were Temperance and Death. Very funny Universe. But so true. Oh hey, if you read this and want a free Tarot reading, hit me up!

I truly hope that this period of pause is helping us all get our priorities straight, I hope that it’s helping us see what is truly valuable to us, and what we want to work towards. In this time of uncertainty, may we be certain of what is worth fighting for.

Today I start this new path

I'm grateful for all life has taught me.  I'm grateful for the pain, for the joy, for the bliss, for the rage.  

I've been wanting to create a webpage for myself, for my practice, for my offerings to the universe...but you know how life is, always running, never enough time.  But last night a friend asked me what my website was so that he could promote it on his website for an event I will be part of, I decided then that I better get my act together and make it happen today.  So here it is, raw, unpolished, just a beginning.  I have to add much content and links, but I'll get there.  The skeleton is here, and that is the most important part.  

So grateful for the path I am walking.  I am taking a class called The Curanderx Toolkit taught by Ancestral Apothecary, I want to say it is changing my life, but I think it's in reality realigning me with where I've always been meant to be.  

I pray I can always be a light in the darkness, and a darkness in the light.  

Ometeotl.
