Get my nose pierced.
Untitled 4 weeks ago

This was my “freedom” gift to myself for getting out of a negative and abusive marriage, a form of taking back a bit of myself and doing what I need to do to be more authentically ME.



create a home altar
I made a bedroom altar 2 months ago

I am working on doing this, as time goes on. I have made an altar in my bedroom, and I have started to set aside space for each of my children to create altars, if they want, in their own rooms. But as for putting things in a centralized location, I’m still not so sure about that. I don’t like to be all “OUT THERE” with my beliefs, and I don’t like the idea of the cats knocking things over in the living room, or of friends’ of the kids touching or knocking over altar items that might be in plain site. The boyfriend’s daughter already took it upon herself to touch things on my personal altar and destroy a set of Pagan Prayer Beads that I had made and left on my altar.

I may modify this to be more about having a personal altar SOMEWEHRE In my home.



simplify my life
Start to "pare down" 9 months ago

For the last little while I have been frustrated in my life. I feel, honestly, OVERWHELMED by my life - kids, work, home, finances - and I need to get control over it.

I am going to:
1. declutter… I am goign through my house getting rid of things that I no longer need or want, donating what I can and passing on anything that someone else might find useful.
2. Creating a budget (which scares me)
3. NOT buying things I don’t need—because I have a LOT of stuff I can use and I don’t need MORE just to feel that need in my life.
4. Creating meal plans so that we don’t go out for meals so often
