Two of my kids and all of my grandkids start back to school next week, so i will be spending the weekend with my family. I won't be here much, if at all over the weekend. Starting next week I will be getting back to creating more courses, and adding more homework style activities to the courses already available. I'll also be launching the NEW Book Club and Seasonal Sabbat Walk for the community since there was so much positive feedback. I will be focusing on creating a series of Lives for Premium Members around the Premium Courses. Tuesday and Thursday afternoons I will be dedicating to working on my book, I want to have the first draft done by the end of the year. So those afternoons i may bit a bit more quiet. If there is anything anyone would like to see more of, less of, or soemthing new, please let me know in the comments. In the meantime, I hope everyone has an amazing weekend!

How did we do on our Mindfulness Game? Was it a challenge or a breeze? @Robyn Coles had the word "THIS" @Leona Hass had the word "HAVE" @Melissa Watts had the word "YOU" My word was "THAT". Check in with how it went. I'll go first in teh comments.

" Go ahead, howl at the moon. You know you want to." The Moon as always been equated with feminine power and hidden secrets. It reminds us that the only constant, is change through the unseen forces around us at work. Just as the moon has more than one side, so do all of us and we can often be torn between which side to embrace or show outwardly, leaving us feeling uncertain and resless. The Moon reminds us than when we are facing two paths to find peace and be still. If we take the time to listen to our subconscious, hidden secrets will be revealed. Irish Wisdom: The Moon is more important than the Sun, because it shines at night when we need it the most" What choices are you struggling with right now? Are you looking for answers that just seem to remain elusive? Where do you need to be calm and just allow your subconscious to reveal the answers?

Wow! I have to admit when i started this community I didn't have any expectations. I truly wasn't sure if anyone would join, or stay. I woke up this morning to our 80th member. That is HUGE to me. So I wanted to take a moment before I did anything else to say Thank You. Thank you, to all of you for trusting me to hold the lantern on your path. All of you contribute to making this community what it is. And for that, I truly Thank You.

@Leona Hass brought up an important point in The Mindfulness Game thread. What we put out into the world (and into ourselves for that matter) has a lot to do with the words we use. Words have power because they are a main symbol of our subconscious mind. They have more meaning than the literal. For example: A few years ago I decided to stop using the word "problem" and start using the word "Challenge" instead. Over time it really changed my persepctive and how i deal with things. I also stopped using the words "good/bad" when talking in relative terms (like energy / magic / habits etc) and started using "wanted/unwanted". Often we don't pay much attention to what we say or how we say it. We also don't pay attention to how our words affect us and the world around us. I have a challenge for the rest of the month. Pay attention to what you say for the rest of September. Don't make any changes yet. Just pay attention. Make note of certain words or phrases, themes, patterns in how you speak etc. At the end of the month, we'll talk about what we discovered.
