I thought I would tell you all about myself and my family. I live in my hometown with my 5 kids whose ages are 22, 18, 12, 8, and 7. And my best friend, soon to be husband. Our two dogs Rick and Space Ghost, and our two cats Hecuba and Espiritu. We live in an old historic Citizens bank building. It sat abandoned on our Main Street for a pretty long time until I bought it and opened a coffee shop in it . There’s a vault here where I keep my herbs, I say they’re the real valuables. I get to carry on my Grandmothers work in this way, harvesting my herbs on the same mountain where she harvested hers. My bestie / husband is a traditional singer and drum maker. He supports a Sundance ceremony that we attend every year where he leads the drum. Last year prayers came in a hard way, and things got rough for us. My business got robbed and this old building was falling down, so that’s when we decided to move in and fix it up and turn it into a home. It was really the only option. So it’s different, but it’s home to us now. My other best friend, Ms. Amy, also owns a business. That’s how I met her. And Creator has been working some funny kind of magic ever since. Me and Ms. Amy, we seem to be kinda stuck with each other. Wherever I go, she ends up. And wherever, she goes, I end up. It’s not really like we picked each other, but more like Creator said we’ve got work to do together. And if I were to guess why I am here now in this time and place with these people whom I love so much, I think I would probably be correct when I say I know why. See, my hometown used to be a really hoppin little place. There was so much life and love here. But then things happened, and somehow, everyone just got tired. Everyone got sad. People started to forget what it was like when things are good here, and they started to move away. A sort of collective depression happened, and it stayed that way for a long time. Businesses closed up. It’s like the color even went away. Even I spent many years being sad. Until I decided to make a change and I bought this place and opened my business. Around that same time, Ms. Amy opened hers.

It’s been 3days since my last post. We’ve been busy working on our theater. We tore out some closet sized bathrooms to expose the old staircase entrance to the upstairs. It’s been fun! But we’re pretty worn out. Today I’ll spend some time editing videos and maybe post a few later! What have you all been up to?

New Moon!

The moon is waning! That means we are entering a new moon and this one is a super moon! Has anyone else noticed a kind of bottle neck happening right around this time in the moon phase? It took me years to recognize the pattern. Kids will be difficult, moods are mooding. Arguments arise. For the ladies, our cycles are fluctuating. Our moon time is obvious, we know when we’re on our moons. But did you ever think about the hormonal cycle that quietly happens in between our moon cycles? It’s a like a whole universe is turning inside of us and we’re just washing the dishes. I’ve learned that being more aware of these cycles has helped so much. Another phase happening in a woman’s body that we aren’t always aware of is ovulation. Because most of us don’t even know when we ovulate, so we don’t recognize the patterns and emotions surrounding that time of the month. So many times I’ve been in turmoil with myself or my family and I think DEAR LORD! What is going on? And then I realize there’s a full moon or I was ovulating. But after so many times of realizing this after the damage was done, I decided to start to track these cycles so that I can prepare for them rather than being blind sided. Does anyone else dig what I’m talking about? What do you do to help you get through these cycles?
