I am lacking in spirituality. I don’t know what it is with me. I guess I just allow, and I do take responsibility for this, I allow the mundane life to get in the way of my magickal and spiritual life. I know I’m allowing it because I’m not taking time to study my Wiccan texts, I’m not taking time to learn more. I’m not taking time to connect with Goddess and God. I’m not taking the time to do even the smallest things. I don’t take time to say a blessing when I eat. I don’t take time to light a candle or two even for a few moments each day.
I don’t devote time to creating my tradition. I haven’t touched my Tarot cards in weeks. I have got to get myself on track. I can’t say back on track as I’ve never really been on track. But I must get myself working on my spirituality again. I need to start working on my Tarot again. I need to start working on devotions to the Goddess and God. I need to start saying my blessings when I eat. There are a lot of things I need to start doing. I just have to get off my rear end and start doing the things I should be doing.
I know that if I start doing the things I need to do, that my life will be better. That I will stop having as much stress in my life, that I will start having all that I need and more. I know this with every fiber of my being. I just have to kick myself in the butt and get started.

One of the things a friend of mine has been curious about is alternative methods of healing, including Reiki and meditation with crystals and the like. Healing herbs is also a curiosity of hers. Of course, she knows that it’s best to consult a physician as well, but like my own doctor, she probably has a better chance of getting a prompt appointment with a San Diego plastic surgeon than with her doctor.
I told her I’d do some research. Right now she’s more worried about me finding a resolution to my own problem. My problem is my ears are retaining fluid like nobody’s business. They’ve always been odd ball about draining properly and the past couple of weeks they’ve been horrible. I’m trying to find some good herbal remedies for making fluid drain from ears. If you know of any, leave me a comment. 
I’ve heard some interesting things about “ear candling.” Some sort of beeswax candles that are burned where you can feel the heat and whatnot in your ears. It’s supposed to help with a lot of ear problems. Maybe I should search for that? Hmmmm.

Sometimes I honestly wonder if some women take looking good too far. I mean, I understand the wish to look good, and I understand that it can make you feel good to look good, but when does it go too far? I mean to be honest, I have never understood why anyone who did not really need to would undergo something like revision rhinoplasty surgery. I guess I’ve always been of the school of thought that one should be happy with the way Goddess created them.
Now I have no problem with people who need to have the surgery done in order to have a better quality of life. But what bugs me, is when people do it simply because they let other people tell them that they aren’t pretty enough because their nose isn’t perfect. No one is perfect and the media’s ideas of what is perfect is enough to make me scream. We’re not all skinny and pretty like the fashion models you see all over the internet, television, and magazines. Most of us are a little or a lot overweight, and none of us are perfect.
If you need it, get it, if you don’t, don’t. That’s my take on it. Be happy with how Goddess created you. She did it for a reason.
