Sorry it is so late guys, But man o man this year came in with a bang! I have had sick kids a sick pop's that is my dads nick name pops or daddy O. And well I haven't had time to breath let alone blog. LOL
But it is slowly winding down.

My word of the year is Generate,

I need to generate More energy to do the things I love,
I need to generate more income for my family,
I need to generate more time to finish old projects,
I need to generate more patience when tending to my children,
And I need to generate a change in my live to find my self again,

I have been changing my life extremely over the last 8 years, I was a party girl that was who I was, and the only girl i really new as me, So now that I am a mother of 3 I just became Mom, To my husband I just became wife, And to my self I just became lost, This year I am redefine who I am, I am going to try and find the new woman i have became in the hustle and bustle called life. I am making career change, I am going to make healthy change, and I am making new and improved house hold change, ( in other words everyone is going to be doing chores not just me.) So this year the Goddess has sent great change to me, And I better make it work...

The time is near.....

Yup it is almost that time of year when my witchy twin comes for her annual visit to the cold depths of the north. ( for more info on my witchy twin go here http://sunmoonearthandstars.blogspot.com/2010/11/story-of-inis-and-me.html#comment-form For the full story)

( I am getting so excited *****squeeeaaakkkk******) I look forward to this visit every year. Not just because my witchy twin comes to see me,,, Did I mention she is coming to see me. LOL But Because of were we go on this trip.

Ya that’s right we are going out on the town ladies..

In Michigan here we have a huge pagan gathering called Convocation.... OMGoddess it is wonderful, Every year I have taken classes that I love. I have learned things that have changed my life, I have had wonderful experiences meeting new and fabulous people. It is just a great event. go check it out....http://www.convocation.org/

But this is my third year attending< and I am so excited because Gypsy and My favorite author Chis Penczak.... Is going to be there and doing a few classes.....(which i am so freaking stoked about..) So Gypsy went from I don’t know if I can come this year to Woo-Hoo book the hotel Inis.

I really want to touch base on the classes they offer here, Now I have taken some bunk classes at this event, But for the most part I have taken some wonderful classes, And had fun in some great rituals. I have to say Gypsy and I both loved the Norse ritual, > 9 worlds of the north< and it was so great. I also took this class on Green Burial, Loved it. Plus a ton of others This is a 4 day event, and classes go from 9am-8pm, Then the drumming starts. O yeah baby the drumming.

So if you get some free time go check out the Convocation page, click on Programming and the go to classes I believe that is how it works, and then tell me what class you would take this year. Then I am going to try and find my notes from years past and share some of my favorite classes I have taken. So keep your eye out on my blog for lessons from con… LOL
