It's my shift and I'm....

A little late in the response, but have been extremely pre-occupied. During my last shift I focused primarily on healing, mostly on the hearth&home. I happen to be going through a separation with my wife which has been difficult coping with wrongs committed against me, that kind of causes your hearth&home to come crashing down on top of you. Have just now reached the semi-calm period of reflection, and much needed "me" time in order to heal correctly. Since I'm the one that is ending up staying in my home with the cats, have a new Brighid shrine by the fireplace which is perfect for this. Buíochas le Bríd.

That really sucks. I'm glad you're moving into the healing stage, though.

Micheal,

I'm so sorry to hear things have been so awful for you. I think about you every time I see the rush cross you sent me for the Imbolc exchange -- which is very often, since it's right beside my bed and was also the model for the cross tattooed on my hand.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, and pray that Brighid will continue to help you heal. I know She is with you every moment.

If you ever need to vent, I'm a pretty good email "listener" and I'm here for you.

Thanks a lot for the kind words Aster&Sunflower, much appreciated.

It is my shift today and I am humble before Brighid and all she has shown me in the last few years. I will be looking over some of my creative work and plan to either paint or create jewelry today.

I am excited that I found a free iphone app of a lit candle as we all know it isn't easy to have real candle at all times. The app is simple called "Candle" by iHandy The flame is pretty realistic.

That is all for now.

Blessed Be
Kelly Ann

It's my shift, and I forgot what happens when I don't sleep enough before my shift: Brighid hits me with Her giant invisible frying pan, slips me some spiritual Benadryl, whatever metaphor you choose -- She puts me in a coma for several hours.

So now I am looking at my candle and thinking this shift is for self-care; first sleep, now good food, and then working on my job because it needs to be done, and discipline can be self-care too.

I just hope She puts me in another coma early tonight so I can get up by 6am and not be late for class.

ETA: This is my 1000th post. I'm proud of this.

It's the end of my shift, and I have spent the day trying to be creative (largely by working on my rpg), cleaning (mostly laundry), trying to figure out where the random depressive funk came from (possibly Venus, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto in retrograde?) and wondering how to find the excitement for writing (and not just *having written*) that I used to have as a child and has since escaped me.

Not a lot of answers this shift, but a lot of things rolling around my head, which is good. I just need to clean out the cobwebs and maybe I can get these gears turning again!

Good luck!

It's nearing the end of my shift (sunset isn't for another 4 hours, but whatever) and I feel fairly accomplished. I wrote a blog post last night and have plans for two more tonight. I also slept all day.

That's good for me these days.

It's my shift and I've just caved in and created my first blog. That was last night, and by this morning I'm already having a follower!

Hey hey hey, you can't mention it and not share!

It's the beginning of my shift, and I'm contemplating the devotional and what I want to contribute.

Any ideas or hints yet?
