Today I resonate with the "Kitchen Witch" side of the family!

Hello love lights!

Today I feel very connected with the side of my family that is full of healers,kitchen and cottage witchs !

I have been enjoying the garden-singing to Mother Earth in gratitude for her bounty-thanking Great Spirit/God for the Creations...

Songs have been streaming from my lips as I harvest-I hum like a satisfied bee!

My food dehydrator is humming along making dehydrated white eggplant-next in line is yellow zucchini- and then cherries to  makes some more of Mammys Cough Syrup -adding dehydrated cherries is my ancestral addition!!

I have a batch of dark rye bread rising- for 3 loaves -my husband needs good hearty organic breads with his diet and they were getting very expensive to buy-so NOW we make them instead.. and do I  JUST make bread...PERISH THE THOUGHT!!! -when my hands are kneading my heart is sending love through those hands-when I made up the Mother (the yeast,sugar and warm water) I sing gratitude to the Mother and I stir w a Wooden spoon -Clockwise I stir love to others-counterclockwise I am willing to receive love.. I stir in  Reiki symbols and infiniti symbol... singing and stirring..

I pulled beets from the garden, snipped parsley for taboulli,  picked 3 small cukes,dug up a few potatoes and picked a batch of green beans-I gathered sweet cherry tomatoes and green onions ..my garden is small but it makes JUST enough for my hubby and I to eat fresh veggies most days!

I am grateful for the produce stand that sells me WONDERFUL 2nds from the bin cheap so I CAN can and dehydrate!

I am SOOO  excited because today is the 1st time this year I can use my own veggies for taboulli!! I LOVES me some taboulli!

We shored up some tomato plants heavy with lusciousness -but down on the ground susceptible to slug attacks- we buried a can of open beer in there too- slug get drunk and die fest-lol!

As I picked and cut and pulled I had time to reflect on lessons of this past year and how things that SEEM bad end up being good!

In gratitiude this year-this has been a year of lessons and letting go -because of the drought ,issues with deer and groundhogs  and my 2 or 3 months  of being sick our community garden was a a flop-BUT NOT-one of the members is BUYING the land and forming an urban CSA here! Yeah-I am moving back down South-I am SOOOOO grateful they are taking over and expanding the project!!

This past year I had to learn up close and prsonal how to deal with energy drainers ,barnacles and slugs.. literally and energetically! I had to"deal" with 3 seperate people and leave a group of folks I like but was not resonating energetically- that was hard!

I had a person pretend to be my friend but this so called "sweet person"-New Agey Hippy type that seemed SO harmless... was only trying to use,manipulate and steal business from me- literally and blatantly! Right in my own home at events I hosted and paid for-I had to put brakes on and literally tell them to never come back here again! .. plus they had decided my husband was their husband and we were gonna be sister wives-UMMMM- NO!!

How was this good? I learned to grow a set-that is why! I learned to recognize energy barnacles and I learned I am NOT supposed to partner up in my work-Medicine Women work alone! I learned to speak up and to handle a group better-to be firmer and stronger!

I learned to say NO this year-no you cannot-no I don't feel well enough to do that-no the energy doesn't work for me- no I can't sorry-NO explanation needed!

I bet saying NO is hard for YOU too! It really is-but we have to.. or we become the Universal Doormat .

I said YES to things that resonate with me-such as the Spirit call to move back down South to homestead . The YES to forming Meetup gathering groups down in Asheville,to starting Mystery School  and starting a Blogtalk radio show(doing them off and on since 2007)- we have a You Tube show coming! Lots of Yesses- but ONLY ones that made me FEEL expanded!.. Lots of YESSES to my own healing and getting into shape! To giving my life the time and energy I needed to get going on  MY preferred personal path of POWER ...

Today I heard some plants call me-"come get me HELP"...so transplanted some struggling tomato and green pepper plants from the community garden where their roots did not have enough space to really thrive and being so far from the house here was not time to tend them lovingly - I did that with some potted leeks as well ...I am moving for that reason too- my roots need to sink deeper- I NEED TO GROW HIGHER -UP-UP-UP  to the light and DEEP-DEEP-DEEP  in the Earth Mothers Belly!! ....and the one transplanting me is ME  !!!

I AM  give my own calling TIME - LOVE and attention to thrive and grow-in LOVE and LIGHT!

So today I resonate with the independent, loving.... yes , power- filled -strong and driven women I seed from... My Kitchen Witch side-you ladies.. YOU ROCK!!
