I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IN THIS

Those who have read this blog know that I am Pagan.  I was raised Mormon.  I have no qualms against Christianity or any other religion... except for things like this.  It makes no sense.  Christians believe Christ died for our sins, so why would he, if not God himself, allow something like this to happen?  Why would someone be punished for not only not having faith in God, but not knowing.  I'm pretty sure this is just something that was said in order to get people to go on missions to preach the word of God.  But no.  If the Christian God and Heaven are what awaits us in the afterlife, and those who are good, decent people but do not believe in or know of the existence of God... if those people are going to hell?  Then I guess I am too.  Because 'Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.' 

I saw this on pinterest.  Sorry.  I'm trying not to get so angry at things I can't change (people's belief in things like the above).  

Full Moon Dreamboard- Full Cold Moon

This month Jamie asks us 'What comforts do you dream of?'

Leave it to me to be practical.  To be financially stable and on time would be a great comfort. I've wanted to go to a spa for awhile now... that would be so awesome.  I imagine if they really have those mud baths that I would be playing rather than relaxing.  But I suppose play is a kind of relaxation, no?

I love scarves.  They are a great comfort.  You can't really wear necklaces with them, but you can wear pins and brooches!  I love those too!  The comforter is not a pun.  I really do need a new bed set.  My current one is a bit worn, not to mention green.  Green is fantastic but in a burgundy painted room?  Not so much.

KITTENS!  Not just any kittens... Sphinx kittens!  Bread, the ultimate comfort food.  You may disagree and say chocolate, but bread can be any taste: sweet, salty, savory.  I should make some bread...  maybe with dinner tomorrow.

Full Moon Dreamboard- Full Frost Moon

This month's dreamboard question asks 'What is clear about your dreams?' and 'What further clarity do you seek?'  What is becoming clear to me is my career path, for one.  A friend of the family recently gave my sister some information for me regarding massage therapy school (apparently the normal route is NOT the way to go, and considering that she manages a massage clinic, I'm bound to believe her on that).  She also said that if I'm good at massage therapy, that there may be a job at the center she works at for me!  *insert high pitched excited noise here*

Ah, the car.  I need to drive more.  I don't care to do it, as my perfectionism kicks into high gear when I do drive and I keep getting down on myself for it.  It is clear to me that I need bright colors in my jewelry making supplies.  I have a lot of metallics and darker colors, but I need to add some vibrant ones.

I would like clarity of skin, thus the mirror.  I've been having a problem with cystic acne along with hives recently.  Not fun.  I would like to know how to fine-tune my perception of things and overall outlook on life.  See what I did there, with the tuning forks?  Funny?  No?  

Clarity of heart would be nice.  Within myself and with others.  Clarity on what to do with this blog!  I have so many things I could write about, but I don't because I'm worried about the direction the blog would take.  Ooh, and last but not least... I would like clarification on crocheting.  I'm not very good at sewing-type stuff and I keep knotting the yarn.  So I'm thinking wire might be easier?  Combining crocheting with jewelry making?  What do you guys think?

Full Moon Dreamboard-Harvest Moon

This month, we are asked "What would I love an abundance of?"  Health is a big one.  I was recently diagnosed with PCOS (Poly-cystic ovarian syndrome) and the medication I've had to take has been pretty awful.  One makes me nauseous and I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to the other :/

Energy is the other big one.  I haven't been cooking or doing much of anything lately.  I'm pretty sure it's tied to the health thing as well as being the stress of moving.  Buy hey!  We're now in our new house and I'm already feeling better!  

Time, as there never seems to be enough.  Peace and prosperity for our new living situation. Wisdom is something I'm always striving for.  And last but not least, the sweater is for softness.  Warmth too because it's starting to get cold, but while we need to get things moving around here we need a nice cushiony environment in which to do it.    

Full Corn Moon Dreamboard

This month Jamie asks "What dreams do I wish to bring to fruition?"  Forward movement.  My mother, sister, and I will be moving shortly due to a divorce.  I want to find a house where my mother can stay for a LONG time.  I want to eat at the dining room table instead of in the living room on the couch.  I want our lavender to finally bloom!  

My perfectionistic tendencies were in high gear when I put this together.  I refused to put just any dining room table on it, no.  The table needed to be laden with food!  Of course it also needed to be horizontal and all the home furniture photographers like to take pictures at an angle... 

Full Moon Dreamboards- Blue Moon

This board just sort of came to me randomly.  At first I had no idea what to put on here.  Jamie talks about extra-special wishes for the full blue moon.  Makes sense... as it is a moon that is shared by both hemispheres and it's the second full moon in one month.  I follow the lunar cycles and believe they have influence over us, so I get it.  But for this board I actually had to think 'What do I really want to do?'

I seem to have a block of practicality when it comes to dreaming.  There is always something else that the resources could be used on, be it money or time or something else.  I seem to have cracked the block slightly though, with this board.

I want to go places.  Take risks.  I'm only 21 but I certainly don't act like it.  That's good in some ways, but I feel like I'm holding myself back.  I need to move around more (NO I DON'T MEAN HOUSES! I've done that quite enough and am about to do so again.)  Experience things.  Make mistakes.  Do things that are scary.  Thus the surfing.  Water scares the hell out of me for some reason.  

So yeah.  This board was pretty eye-opening for me.  So thank you Jamie for this practice of self discovery. Now all I have to do is figure out how to do these things :/

Full Moon Dreamboard- Full Sturgeon Moon

This month Jamie asks "What is your intuition telling you about your dreams?"  Well, mine is telling me that I have stuff to do.  Hard work and all of that.  But at the same time I need to remain calm.  I need to make sure I take good care of myself and my surroundings as I go (considering I am one of those who likes to forget all else while focused).  

I'm noticing an abundance of blue, black and brown in this board.  I think that means I need to chill out and strap myself in for the amount of stuff I have to go through in the near future.  But hey, maybe it'll be fun.  Hopefully it will let me focus on my stuff more instead of worrying about everybody else's.
