By first and foremost I love and live magic and being part of this universe. Spiritual growth, reading about dreams, and collecting spells. I love a good thunder and lighting storm, photography, long drives, going to yard sales, vintage clothing stores, old buildings, small towns, campfires,reading and writing poetry,travel, belly dancing (still working on that) watching the moon move across the sky and I can stare at the stars for hours. I enjoy laughing,shopping for shoes,art and writing short stories for children. Also singing in private for now anyways. And of course... chocolate.***********

Buried at PhotoCasket.com ***********YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK Your inner thoughts can cause you to be rich or poor, loved or unloved, happy or unhappy, attractive or unattractive, powerful or weak. What you impress upon your mind, you'll inevitably become. It's a psychological law that whatever you desire to accomplish you must first impress upon your subconscious mind. Relentless, repetitive self talk will change your self image. You'll affect your subconscious mind with verbal repetition. Constant repetition carries conviction. When you change your values you'll change your behavior. Start thinking of yourself as becoming the person you want to be. Self suggestion will make you the master of yourself. You can become whatever you want to be. If you believe you can, you can. ******

**********************The triple moon is a Goddess symbol that represents the Maiden, Mother, and Crone as the waxing, full, and waning moon. It is also associated with feminine energy, mystery and psychic abilities. The Maiden represents enchantment, inception, expansion, the female principle, the promise of new beginnings, youth, excitement, and a carefree erotic aura. The Mother represents ripeness, fertility, fulfillment, stability, and power. The Crone represents wisdom, repose, and compassion. These aspects may also represent the cycle of birth, life and death (and rebirth). Some believe that this goddess is the personification of all women everywhere.

How many times did you teach

All because of you?
How many lives were inspired,
Because of what you do?

surroundings. And others can find true magic, wonder and
richness in even the most common, ordinary circumstances.Where you are right now is a great and wonderful place to
be.Know that there are real miracles in this very moment and they will be yours to live.If your happiness depends on some outside factor, then even
if you attain it, you'll be disappointed by the sense of emptiness it brings. And you'll feel the need for something more.That something more has been there all along and is, when
you choose it, unconditionally yours.Find your joy in the ordinary moments and experience how beautifully rich and fulfilling life can be.***Ralph Marston*************

For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are transformed.
