FearofSuccess

Fear Of Success. Just three simple words. But what do they REALLY mean? I will say them again. Fear of Success. Still sounds simple enough. Why would I or anyone else be afraid to succeed? Hmmm... That does not feel like an answer though. It does not feel as though I have resolved a question. I will look deeper! Because I ponder those words a lot. What is the deeper meaning. What is the answer. What is the reason why I really am not where I want to be with my Passion Parties business.

-- If I have the huge success that I really truly want as an Independent Passion Parties Consultant, my whole life will change. It will change a lot. It will change from feeling down, self-doubting, down from lack of money. I won't want want want and not get. I will have a whole huge world open to me. Maybe that is what is scary to me. Success, getting things I want, having money for nice clothes, more make up, candles, buying crafts, having friends, going shopping,  being able to be more social. Those are all things that I do not have.

Okay, so now I've finally answered the question. What now? Go out and make it happen of course! How?

Do things that are outside of my comfort zone, walk outside the box!!

Make big differences! Make big changes!

        Pass out awesome cool business cards -   ordered! at  Zazzle with Myka Jelina art!! 

Get out of town! Go someplace where people are. Where people have money, and like to spend money, smell good, look good.

Make a Vision Map - Where can I see where I'm going if I have no map! How will I know when I arrive without a map!

All in all, I think that I need to realize that success does not happen overnight. When we gain weight, we might later on make the decision to loose weight. Ok, the decision is made. That is not what brings it to light though. Keeping focused on the goal, doing the work of exercising, making better food choices, and over a period of time whether its months or years is what brings that goal to light. Then we have our success...

LookingOverThePast

Today I found myself looking over old c.d.s at things I've made in years past. And I suddenly began to see a funny pattern. Magick! Many years before I even had the realization that I am a magickal person. Which was not until 2011. All the years before I had been dabbling in it without realizing it. Just because I was collecting graphics that I liked. I've been surrounded by witches, pagans, and magickal people the whole time and did not even see it.

Just because someone's name was Rhiannon, Isis, Selene, Raven, Sicara. I did not associate them as being dark, evil, or scarey. I was completely comfortable with those names. I think they are beautiful. It could be their real name or made up. But I never once associated their names with magickal arts, wicca, witch, paganism, eclectic, and the plethora of other magickal names associated with magick or spirituality.

As I look through my past signature tags, the kinds of graphics I was ordering - that I was attracted to. And the people's names who were making them. I am surprised that I've been doing that for many more years than what I have actually been admiting to being magickal. Many more years than I've actually been learning about paganism, celtic, welsh, egyptian, and norse gods and goddesses. For many more years than I've been celebrating the turning of the wheel, the changing of the seasons.

I did not even know paganism was still alive until just 3 years ago!

I thought it was an ancient way of living so far gone that no body today was even aware it had ever existed. I longed for it though. I could see myself having lived in those days.

Lets look at some of the things I've collected over the years. BEFORE I realized who and what I am. *lol*

Martima Heavenly 2008

 

 this little triple moon I find particularly interesting. The year was 2008 That is still 2 years before I picked up a book on wicca, paganism, witchcraft, gods and goddesses, magickal nature. Two years before I had ever done any searches online. 2 years before I found out paganism was still alive.... Okay I won't go on and on but. See my point! *giggles*

Some of these particular signature tags I made, some I drew...

 

 this silly lil cutie is my own dabbling *lol*

 

one of my more favorite pixels I've drawn & colored

 I couldn't resist making this one. It reminded of an
Edgar Allen Poe kind of time...

Lets take a look at the kinds of signature tags I was ordering for others now ---

 This is from a website that was around called Cassiopeia! She had all the best signatures. All the unicorns, goddesses, castles, dragons!

 Baubbles n' Broomsticks - can't get much more witchy and magickal than that

 a beautiful sigtag with a renaissance looking dress by Dees Deesignz.

FirstDay-DayShift

What a wonderful autumn day to start my first day of my day shift on - November 12th! I've always liked the number 12. I do not know why. *giggles*
Today was such a nice and magickal day! I burned butterfly incense for change and transformation and good luck. From my butterfly honey pot I got bought from White Magick Alchemy. *Whispers -- my favorite shop*

To start off todays adventure I forgot that in the morning there will be frost on my windows! DUH! I'm use to going to work in the middle of the afternoon...
I was in a great mood all day long. Thinking of the wonderful butterfly resin I had burned in the morning to bring me good luck all day long. I learned new things today at work. In less than a year in and I've made it from night shift, two months later to evenings. And now just 9 months in, day shift! Excited to start my life back up. My magickal life! My family life! My married life!

Over the past several months of going back into a nursing home setting to work, I have missed out on a lot. My grand kid's sports over the summer. My grandson Dante played football for the first time this year! And Evey continued with track. It felt like life and my family was just passing me by. I've missed holiday and other family get togethers. I've missed out on going to movies w/ my husband because I don't get many weekends off. Maybe a weekend, or part of a weekend every 2 months. :'(

I've missed Sabbats, I've missed candle and other magickal crafting. And being involved in my craft. I was so in tune, so at peace, so happy. My house was clean. I could hold a ritual at any time of the day or night.  But then the bills come due and one has to get a job again that pay the bills...

SomethingKindaWonderful

I have noticed something wonderful happening with one of my bamboo plants. It has suddenly shot up tremendously. All of a sudden it has grown a great deal. What have I done different? I was rearranging some plants in my living room. (taking them off the pellet stove that I of course do not use in the summer)

I placed it on my Passion Parties desk. This is where I make my samples, prizes, keep my orders... Then there is this connection that I realized too. Suddenly I've been getting orders at work left and right! What have I done different in my life?

Well, I have been doing a lot of visualization while burning incense. I visualize on my way to work, when I'm just sitting alone at home, at work...

I'm not going to say exactly what I am visualizing, as I believe that will take the power of it away. I bet you can figure it out though *giggles*

And coincidentally the bamboo plant is a 'good luck' plant. See all the connections happening!

I have no idea what made me set that plant on my desk. It's a very very small desk. It's actually a little kitchen table nook with 2 stools that store under the table. Somehow it got converted into my Passion Parties work space. *lol*

Mabon2013

                 My 2013 Mabon Altar

A witches hat worry stone represents the Goddess area of my altar. Three stones in the center to represent the autumn equinox- garnet(red/purple), carnelian (orange/red), and a moonstone. My incense cauldron burns guilded pear autumn incense & myrrh resin, representing the God altar area. The main area is decorated with the Mabon candle from www.whitemagickalchemy.com with all the wonderful scents of the autumn season! A few seasonal fruits & vegetables to give thanks to the Lord & Lady for the gifts of this bountiful season - pomegranate, squashes, & an avacado. Along with silk flowers of purple & yellow, dried pumpkin seeds & cloves. 

Wish there were such a thing as smell-o-vision!

I did some small things today to help celebrate this sabbat, but they felt great big in my heart.

Before I had to go to work, I did a mini-ritual where I made a blessing leaf for the 1st time. I thought about what I wanted for the day, how I wanted to feel. And wrote it (one word) on a bay leaf, then burned it. My word of the day was peace. Guess what kind of day I had at the nursing home? Yes!! Yes I did.

Then at work all day I kept wishing the residents a 'happy 1st day of fall'

Afterall, I cant very well go around saying Mabon blessings to everyone in a small western town predominately jehovahs witness & morman lol!

FeelingSad

Do you ever feel sad, and pushed down by your job? Because regular jobs pretty much focus on pointing out that you are doing wrong - no matter what your doing. Do you ever feel like your not doing what your meant to be doing...

LessonsLearned-GrowthAchieved

I have been debating whether to write about my situation yesterday or not. I arrived at the decision that I always feel better after writing.

There is a sick person on facebook seeking out Passion Parties consultants on the Passion Parties fb page. On the premise that he is looking for help and then sends pictures of his penis, and talks perverted. But is very apologetic about the pictures. And its not clear immediately that he is being perverted. We are in the business of helping people. And are good hearted people. And it is very offensive to be treated like we are sexual deviants or prostitutes! Just because we sell sexual products does not make us one particular kind of person. We are Diverse! We are Inspiring! We are Vibrant! We are Accomplished! We are DIVA's!

I've gone through a huge range of emotions. It is so sad and pathetic that in this day and age with all the things that there are to do online and offline in our lives that people still choose to harass people as an activity!

I don't know that much can be done from facebook. I did report him. But he doesn't contact us through facebook messenger. He texts our phones.

Never again will I be so anxious for a sale and to be successful that I will not listen to my warning bells going off. And I'm going to read a book that my sponsor suggested a long time ago for me. It's about listening to those alarms your body is sending you. This has really effected me and bothered me in a big big way. So I will probably do a banishing ritual, clearing negativity ritual of some sort.

Because if Passion Parties ended today for whatever reason I am proud of the success that I have already had  in the business! I am proud that I have not given up. I am proud that I got to go to convention my very 1st year in thanks to my parents & my sister. I'm proud of the connections I've made, the people I've met, the personal growth I've had. I'm proud of all of it. I will one day have a successful team and be a successful executive director in passion parties one day! So this situation will not destroy me. It makes me wiser. Reminds me that even though I live in a small quiet western town, there are still perverts out there that are apparently very bored and not very smart. *lol*

BecomingThePersonYouWantToBe

Today it occurred to me that I AM becoming the person I used to dream of being. The person I wanted to be a long time ago. The person I used to wish I was. Then I stopped wishing, and started working on becoming the person I want to be. In magick you don't just wish and poof something happens. Thats hollywood magic, stage magic. Which is not real. But a trick. In spiritual magick. You work towards your goal to manifest it. I used to think, I could never be one of those straight girls. In my mind you were someone that I was. Party girl, or one of the very very religious women that wear dresses and those bonnets. But there is another alternative. ME! Clean me! Earthy me! Me Me Me! alcohol free, drug free (recreational/illegal and prescription). Clean eating me. No pop, or soda. *giggles* depending on where you live you may call it soda, you may call it pop... No fried foods. Well I've definately decreased my fried foods. Still working on the french fry connection. I do not eat any breaded food, pasta, cookies, breads, cakes, brownies, donuts or the like.

Funny that I have also manifested myself into a gluten-free diet. I am gluten intolerant. I had really really wanted to be on a paleo lifestyle. So its actually kind of funny that through my health i'm making my way there. I'd say gluten-free is a huge step in the right direction. Even if forced into it...I've often thought, maybe thats the only way I could become gluten-free.

I never thought a day would arrive that I am comfortable in my own skin. Comfortable being myself, and letting others see that self. But I do see light at the end of the tunnel. I am a happy pagan!

Summer solstice 2013

Mystical summer solstice blessings!! On this day i am showing gratitude for the sun & the solar deities

. 

Summer solstice is the longest day if our calendar year. Our Sun shines brightest and strongest on this day. There is actually more daylight today than darkness. After today the days will slowly shorten. The harvest season will soon be upon us, with the dark part of the year bear...

Mid-Summers Eve / litha is a good time to attract faeries to your garden or magickal space. Litha is celebrated June 19 - 22. Decorate your altar in vibrant blues and bright yellows. Call upon the sun deities and fae folk to bless and enchant your path with fortune, good luck, prosperity, & abundant crops for your fall harvest...
