Witchy Pooch & I Wish You A Blessed Samhain & A Very Magickal Holloween!

(I'm not sure where I found this, but I really liked it and wrote it down so I can post it on All Hallows Eve.  If it is yours, please contact me so I can appropriately acknowledge or take down if you request.)

Twas the night before Samhain
and all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring,
except for my spouse.

The incense, it burned
in our cauldron so black,
For witchcraft and magick,
we'd a wonderful knack.

The circle was drawn
with the wand of Power,
The Guardians were called
to each quarter of Tower.

The Lord and Lady
attended our rite,
In wonder and glory
the Power and Might,

The dearly departed
came as our guest,
To live once again
after their rest.

We bid them good-bye
with a tear in our eye,
Such a lovely presence
of loved ones so nigh.

The candles danced
in flickering light,
With the great rite
we bid them all a good night.

The Guardians thanked
have all sped away,
The Lord and Lady
thanked for the day.

The night before Samhain
God Bless this house,
A circle of wonder
round me and my spouse.

A Magickal Winter Wonderland

Our first snow of the season!  Arriving a little too early for my taste, but I have to admit, oh so pretty!  Good day to snuggle up with some  furbabies & watch a good movie.   I think I'll to do just that! :-)

  

Picture Card Perfect!

Snow just starting to come down, Witchy Pooch says

"What IS this stuff?" 

Lol, she just wasn't sure if she was liking this!

FACT OR FICTION???

I received this in an email today and thought it was interesting, especially the birthday part, so I thought I would share for your entertainment! 

Have fun with it! ;-)

Chinese numerology and Feng Shui for 2011 this year, we are going to experience four unusual dates: 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11, and that's not all. 

Take the last two digits of the year you were born and the age you will be this year and the result will add up to 111 for everyone!!!!  Go ahead & try it!  Amazing!!! 

This is the year of MONEY.  Also, this year, October will have 5 Sundays, 5 Mondays & 5 Saturdays. This happens only once every 823 years. These particular years are known as Moneybag years.

This only happens once in 800 years! 
Good Luck to you!

GET OFF YOUR BROOM

*This post has been moved to its own page ~  http://mywitchyweighs.blogspot.com/

I'm a little late getting started with this, but I'm jumping on the bandwagon.

  Now.....    About this weight thing!

HERE'S MY STORY, IT'S SAD, BUT TRUE....
(you know the tune :-)

I've been fighting the "battle of the bulge" for many many years. I've tried many different diets.
(I don't think there's one out there that I haven't tried.)

Took it off, put it on, took it off, put it on and on and on! I got sooo tired of dieting, that I took the last couple of years off
and unfortunately it now shows big time!

I'm really hoping that "getting off my broom"  is what I need to get and keep me motivated.

My goal in a nutshell is to take control & eat healthier in hopes of looking better, feeling good, and losing some major pounds.

My plan is fairly simple:

1.   Drink more water 

2.  Exercise on my gazelle for at least 30 minutes a day 5 days a week

3.  Pay attention to portion control

4.  Eat healthy 

Now the hard part - JUST DO IT!

Much Luck and Success to Everyone!

PS:  I'm really sorry, but I just couldn't bring myself to post a picture, (oh the pain of just thinking about it)...   however,
I did take one & am keeping a journal for the end results.

Write a Secret Wish upon a Fallen Leaf!

Choose a leaf with Red colors for a wish pertaining to matters of
Love, Sex, Passion, or Health;
a Gold Leaf for wishes involving Money and Finances;
an Orange Leaf for Energy;
a Purple one for Healing;
a Yellow Leaf for Confidence or Attraction;
and a Green one for Fertility, Success, or Good Luck.

Fold the leaf in half, or roll it up, and seal it with a kiss.
Using the flame of a white candle, set the leaf on fire.
As it burns, visualize your wish coming true.

Have a Beautiful Autumn Day!
