I have at least a dozen posts waiting in my draft file. I must have opened one every week for the past month or so, but the inspiration to edit and publish one of them just wasn’t there.
I had become so attached to the perfection of the archive feature, that I was committed to post [...]
Boundaries blurred
Whispers heard
Be mindful of your spoken word
Let not intention be recanted
From seeds once planted
Requests be granted
Equals only be enticed
Review the guest list once or twice
Then light the candles
And fire up the blender
‘Tis no better night for wishes rendered!
His name was Duke. I remembered the name so suddenly that it surprised me. I wasn’t counting on coming up with a name while recalling a scenario that occurred over 25 years ago. But there it was, right out of the blue, having no significance whatsoever to the memory of what had actually transpired.
Duke.
We were [...]
What is an epiphany, exactly, and when the hell do I get to have one?
Water was sloshing from every surface of my shoes, including the spongy soles of those stupid gel inserts which, until now, had never given me cause to wonder just how many gallons of liquid they were capable of retaining. Diligently running [...]
Watch yourself, sister.
Should you dismiss that vaguely familiar shitty feeling once again, your role in this recurring drama is destined to continue indefinitely.

Who the hell is in charge here?

Any well-trained and clever witch would remember that it is she who sets the tone for her [...]
Well, thank the gods for second chances.
Most occupations that uphold a reputable track record regarding safety require some manner of assessment for employees. It is only appropriate that I would be expected to demonstrate some notion of what the hell I am supposed to be doing in my new job.
After a five-day crash course in [...]
For any witch who thinks that she has fulfilled all the necessary requirements in order to manifest one of her deepest desires…and yet the damn thing still has not happened, well, what is there to do?
Brood?
Always a first choice, brooding remains my knee-jerk reaction to the absence of something in my life that I want. [...]
Armed with bullet points on an index card, even a timid mind can express intention clearly.
Well, most of the time.
I’ve had my moments. Predetermined lines of reason fly out the window if nervous energy makes an untimely entrance. With a potential to spread like wildfire, unchecked emotions will overpower a well-rehearsed delivery before a witch [...]
I earned my appreciation for peeing in privacy. Until I raised three children of my own, I did not understand what a luxury this is.
It is a rare privilege to nurture our fledgling offspring. A mother willingly casts aside many of her personal priorities without hesitation, as the survival of her young prevails over any [...]
