Well, it's a new month and I thought pink was appropriate for April with Beltane coming up at the end of the month. I'm just full of good news today.... I don't know where to start. I guess I'll start with the interesting people I've been meeting lately. I've met a couple of other Witches in my area, there seems to be a few of us around here after all. My good friend from way back is moving back to the area and is also very interested in The Craft. We even talked about starting a coven. It's a thought, I'd love to have an informal one. I don't go for alot of high ceremony. And it would be nice to have others to sit and talk to about things besides on the computer.
Last night my friend I've been agonizing over because I thought she wasn't interested in knowing this part of me actually started asking questions. So that was a start there. I've been thinking she just didn't want to know cause she always changed the subject or had something else to do. I discovered it's because she is uncomfortable with religion as a whole not just mine and that is such a relief. I was very worried I would lose my friend because of my choice. I shouldn't have worried but you just never know how people are going to react when you tell them, "I'm a Witch." no matter how long you've known them. I'm proud of her though, she actually got through a discussion on religion. Though we don't agree we can agree to disagree. And that is a good place to start I think.
I also had a discussion last night with my father who has once again proved how wonderful he can be. While I was chatting with my friend I was also chatting with my dad. I was telling him about the discussion I was having with my friend. He was very sweet and supportive. Though he doesn't believe the same way I do, he accepts my beliefs as being a part of me. When I was a kid I never got along with my Dad but as I've become an adult he's changed and I've changed and we have a wonderful relationship now. He has really turned out to be the best dad these days. I love you dad, if you ever read this!
Now that I'm starting to get sappy I think it's time I ended this.
Blessings for Love and Laughter everyday,

Well am not in as good of a mood today.... Took my son to the doctor today. He has to have tubes in his ears AGAIN. Don't know how we are going to pay for it. Our military medical coverage runs out April 17th. (Sigh) He has to have it done and then there's the dentist's work that needs to be done on his teeth as well. It never seems to end! Did a money spell not long ago but had to dip into the money I used for the spell so now the money has dried up. Just hate it when that happens. Am going to have to do another one I suppose.
thats all for now.

Good morning all. Well the big money eating monster has hit my house again this month. I may not be on line for a week or so, the end result being that there might be a huge gap in this journal. I'm going to try to convince the phone company that they reaylly only need half of my phone bill instead of all of it. I had a choice between paying the phone bill or the electric bill. I chose the electric bill but my mother is going to come through for me again. But she can only lend me nomey for half of it. (sigh) It's not all but it's all she can afford and it was nice of her to offer it to me. I really appreciate it, believe me. Now I just hope the phone company does. They can be such jerks about things. They don't understand that we have kids, cars that are always broke down, we have to buy groceries and we have to live. Some times it's very hard to make ends meet. And this is one of those months wear that is hard to do. But it won't be like this for long. We get our tax refund back soon, we're buying a newer car, and I'm starting a business.
Yes that's right I'm starting a business. I'm very excited about it. I'm a seamstress... been making clothes for years now. So I"m going to start an e business selling ritual, goth, ren fair, wedding, and medieval glothes. I'm going to start selling on auction and work my way up to catalogue and ebusiness after that. If I make enough money I'll open up a shop in my area. I really can't wait, I just know it'll be successful. So be looking for me!

Well it seems like it's been a hundred years since I wrote in this journal but I'm back again. Been very busy lately. I hurt my back last week and couldn't sit at the computer and this week had a visit to the dentist... I had a tooth wrenched from my skull... Talk about excrutiating pain! So anyway, I haven't been around because I was in pain all the time. But I'm back.... I hope I'll be a better web mistress in the future...
I'm preparing for Beltane, designing a ritual for the occasion. Now that I feel better I'm hoping it will turn out to be lovely.. I missed Esbat this month because of my back, but I'm not going to miss Beltane.
I'm also getting ready to start my own business... It seems there is a market out there for the clothes I design and make. I make ritual, Wiccan, ren fair, bridal, and formal gowns and stuff and people like it.. So sometime next month my e store called Magickal Treasures will be opening on the world wide web. It's going to be it's own domain, I may move my site to it's addy. www.magickaltreasures.com, I haven't decided yet. I'll also be selling stuff made by friends of mine... all of the work is original and hand made by the people who design and make it... We'll have lots of Wiccan supplies and things so I hope all who read this get a chance to come and check it out. That's another thing that has been keeping me busy lately. The store. I'm very excited about it though, and I have the feeling I'm going to be a success.
Well that's all for now.
Blessings,
