Picking of the wild donkey

The riding of the wild donkey is something that I dream of doing. I want - no wait - I need to ride the wild donkey! My dreams deserved to be lived out! And by riding the wild donkey I will achieve my dreams!!!

Now you may be asking "what in the world would this woman want to ride a wild donkey?!" Well the answer is simple. I don't. Riding the wild donkey is a metaphor created by Leonie Dawson creator of the Goddess Circle And you can read about the wild donkey ride here: http://leoniedawson.com/the-wild-donkey-secret-to-getting-stuff-done/

My wild donkeys are named Doula and Apothecary. I realized today while chatting with my sister Goddesses that I don't have to pick one or the other! I can pick both!!! Huzzah!!

So my first action for each one:

Doula: I will talk with my husband about finding the funds for the certification course.

Apothecary: I will post on the blog directions for a cough & cold syrup. And I will find another recipe to try out in our home!

I'm jumping on!! Watch out world!!!
Blessings & Love!!!

Welcome Autumn!!

Welcome to the Harvest Moon, Autumn, Fall, and Beautiful Goddess of the Harvest!!

So here I sit in my kitchen watching the wind blowing and simply being amazed at the ebb and flow of the seasons and the year.

There is much going on in my head right now and I apologize if this is a bit of a crazy post as I am simply going to let it come out.

My son's birthday is in 11 days and he will be 1. I can't believe that we are here at a year later already. We all talk about a year like it's a long time but in less than a year of marriage I gave birth to our son and we even bought a house - which I am ashamed to say we did NOTHING to (except finish the big room in the basement - hehehe).

I have a job interview tomorrow morning which I am not too excited about.. I want to be home with my son and yet still bring in a substantial amount of money to feel like I contribute to the household. My darling husband while trying to let me live my dream has become an asshole and not in the good sense so I must go back to the "norm" of having a 9-5 (well in my case a 9-6). I am not too happy about it..

My body is changing itself over to the winter stage. My skin is getting dry and my toes are always cold..

I want to feel like I am not lost. I want to be on top of our finances, on top of eating & being healthy. I want to have a great relationship - emotionally & sexually - with my husband! I feel like I walk such a fine line with him sometimes it doesn't seem worth everything I have gone through!

I want to find that job/career/calling that I can put all my passion and energy into. I am a self proclaimed workaholic and the fact that I can't find something that makes me glad to wake up every day is starting to wear me down. Like I will never find what I am "destined" to do!

Oui! Ok so I am not too upset - simply lost. I am trying to have a positive attitude. Looking at this as the start of my latest adventure. If/When I get this J.O.B. I will donate $25 every check to Kiva to help someone with their dreams.

I am also going to buckle down and read the biggest book in my library, Solitary Witch by Silver Ravenwolf. I hope to have it finished by the end of the year, which means I have 91 days to go! Currently, I am on page 19 and there are 574 pages.

Ok, so I want to end this post with something productive. Here are my current goals in a list.


  • Get on top of bills
    • By getting a full time job I will accomplish this.
  • Give to Kiva with $25 donations to others' dreams around the world.
    • By putting it as the FIRST item on our budget it will stay as the top priority.
  • Read Solitary Witch by the end of the year.
    • By reading 7 pages a day I will have this achieved by January 1st, 2013!
  • Stay on top of washing dishes and keeping the kitchen picked up
    • By doing dishes every night before bed and taking the trash out and filing papers daily, this can be accomplished.
Alrighty then! Time to bust some tushie and get to work! I send blessings to you all!

Love & Light!
