Things are Bad

Unexpected things have come up surrounding my chronic migraines and long-term disability. Please take a look at my GoFundMe link to read the full story. I will also put the full story from my GoFundMe in this post. https://www.gofundme.com/emergency-financial-aid-needed Things you can do to help if you would like: 1. Donate money (the most obvious but not the only thing) 2. Share my GoFundMe with others on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) 3. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers, send some love, etc. (very important) Here's some backstory before I get into the issue: I have a few chronic medical conditions. As a result, I am no longer able to work. I went on a short-term disability leave Dec 2016. Summer 2017, I transitioned to long-term disability. (Note: This is not the same as government disability.  Short-term and long-term disability are employer benefits.) I have been on long-term disability since. I have also applied for social securi...

Gratitude - 10 Things I'm Thankful For

Image
So times are very tough right now for my husband and me. Our finances are up in the air and at the mercy of others. Our housing is up in the air and at the mercy of others. It's a tough time. Very. A lot of people will tell you to focus on the positive and have an attitude of gratitude, even through these times. I do that. I recognize that even though things are bad right now, I have more than a lot of people around the world and there are tons of things I'm grateful for. I'm going to list 10 today. These are in the order I thought of them, not necessarily order of importance. 1. My husband: We've been together almost 10 years now and married for almost 7. He's supportive. He understands my medical issues. He understands my stress. He tries his best to take pressure off of me by doing things like washing the dishes and such and asking me if I need anything. 2. My cat Lestat: He's 10 years old. I've had him since he was a baby so he's been with me f...

K is for Kyanite | ABCs of Paganism #YTPaganABC

Image
Hello, loves! I took a bit of a break from the ABCs of Paganism YouTube Challenge but I’m back! My next letter was K and I’m going to talk about Kyanite. It’s a lovely crystal and I have one kyanite blade in my collection. Mundane Facts: Kyanite usually forms in what is called “blades”. These are long striations in the kyanite that give it a texture. Kyanite comes in blue with white, indigo, black, and green colors most often. I personally have only seen blue with white. The one kyanite blade I have is this color variation as shown below. There are other colors as well, such as white, gray, and pink, though they are more rare. There are of course polished varieties as well. I personally love the texture to raw kyanite and so prefer it in that form. Kyanite is used in some porcelains, the auto industry, and the railroad industry among others. Magickal Facts: Kyanite is a receptive stone. It is a great tool in aiding meditation. It is said that if you sleep with a piece ...
