Aftermath of the Inventory

Well, the inventory turned out to be a much more grueling project than I'd realized -- but it was also even more worthwhile. I'm tired this morning, but feel far more settled and together internally than I have in weeks.

I'm sure a big part of this has been the after-effects of my July initiation. If something like that "takes" then everything gets stirred up at a deep level. The fact that my primary realization has been that my entire life must be built around Spirit if I'm going to be happy certainly follows from a priestess initiation.

For the next couple of days I'm focusing on getting Wolfling grounded in junior high, then I'll go back through my document and start lifting the pieces I want to prioritize. But before that -- I'm just realizing, as if receiving a tap on the shoulder -- I need to engage in the more subtle process of mapping the interconnections between the various aspects I've indicated as being most fundamental/critical.

Fascinating process. . . .

If anyone has prayers to spare today, Wolfling could use them. Her usually bold spirit is quailing a bit at the prospect of starting junior high, and she can use some extra encouragement and positive energy around her.

Thought for the Day

When you cannot make up your mind between two evenly balanced courses of action, choose the bolder.

Temporary Insanity

I just found myself musing that conceiving, being pregnant, giving birth, and raising another child seemed like a really nice idea.

WTF??

DO. NOT. WANT.
REALLY!!


Being a good mother to Wolfling is more than enough of a challenge, thank-you-very-much.

Besides, I hated being pregnant, and was miserable the entire first year of Wolfling's life.


Maybe I need to check in with my subconscious and find out what other things I would like to symbolically or archetypally conceive and bring to birth. . . .
