What an epic day!
Sitting around a big table at a coffee shop with a new group of friends reminded me of being around the dining room table at the Hartman House back in Arkansas.
I knew I really missed those days, but didn't realize how integral they were to my own well being and sense of happiness. It might not be the same crew, there is no replacing you guys, but it is just as energizing and enjoyable as I remember, and I've really needed it.
If you are struggling mentally/emotionally and have a dining room table you can gather people around, do it. Just play games or lay out coloring books and let things unfold how they will. It's changing and memorable for a lifetime, and will lift your spirits!
To all of my FB family and friends,
I'm still here. I'm just a few words in a messenger chat away. Always.
I've stopped coming on FB daily because there was so much happening on it that I was spending hours every day, watching and seeing what you all were doing so I didn't miss anything, and not accomplishing anything really myself. There wasn't any time or energy left for me to do what I needed to.
I had to remove that feature for a while. It's what was best for me because I needed to handle and manage a lot of things that were changing for me. My mental and physical health have been deteriorating, and I've needed time to acknowledge and manage that. I've stayed busy and have been managing things, just not as visibly on Facebook.
In doing so, I've missed a lot of major things in other people's lives. Things that needed to be celebrated, things that needed to be mourned. Things that just needed to be displayed and acknowledged. I've missed other people.
There are so many of you, and only one me. As much as I want to celebrate, mourn, acknowledge, and just know what is going on with each of you, it just isn't possible.
I don't want to cull my friend list down to something more manageable. I'd end up with just 2 or 3 of you, and I don't want that at all. I love and am thrilled to be connected with each and every one of you.
So, I want all of you to know this. If I'm not here, seeing all the life happening with you and liking loving, caring or crying with you, I know that is happening with you. I know that you are experiencing life and even if I'm not aware of specifics, I'm celebrating, mourning, acknowledging, and sending love always, to you.
I hope you can feel that from me, even if I'm not here saying it very often.

The Complete Teachings of Modern Wicca For the Seeker
Environmental stewardship has been a big part of my personal journey. Doing what I can personally to take care and reduce where I can. It was something my dad instilled in me when he took me on hunting and fishing trips with him in Tennessee. We didn't go to concrete ponds at local parks. We went to wild areas only accessible by boat on Watts Bar Lake. We went deep into protected forests in Crossville. I saw everything from birds to bears in their natural habitats. Then I went back to Phoenix, a forest of concrete and asphalt where the only wildlife was found behind bars and glass. It made me sad, and mad.
City life doesn't give you many effective options for living green. They had recycle bins, and we used them, but it just didn't seem like enough to me. I wanted to do more. I didn't become a tree hugger by any means, but I'm always trying to make some kind of positive impact with everything I do.
When we took over Metaphysical Times, and got our first batch of stacks and stacks of newspapers, it was great, but also a punch in the gut reminder of the forests I saw cleared with my dad. Those trees weren't being cleared for paper. They were building a housing track or a commercial building. Still, it hit me hard. Where there were tall trees as far as the eye could see just the weekend before, was now a pile of logs and heavy machinery. The noise was deafening.
How could I claim to be a witch that practiced environmental stewardship regularly, printing newspapers? I definitely wanted to create them because I believe they serve a connecting and guiding purpose bigger than I am, but I also knew that they weren't good for the environment. We shifted to digital only until I could figure something out.
I had to go all the way to Paris to find a printer that would do something similar to print on demand and used sustainable materials and somewhat affordable. $4.25/copy was far less than the places I found in the US that wanted $54/copy for less than 500 copies. Most printers wouldn't fire up the press for less than 1,000 copies and we just didn't need that many yet. With 2/3 of the first print run is still sitting in storage right now, I just couldn't justify printing them again, so we've kept them digital.
I got this email notification that we've reached the financial milestone on Stripe that unlocked the Climate Program for us this morning. We are now contributing 1% of our revenue to carbon removal! That's a huge leap for me personally in doing "something" to take care of the world I, my kids, and all of you live in.
I wrote up a post about it on the MT website, if you'd like to check it out. :)

In my world, the concept of self-care often feels like an elusive, ever-changing target. Lately, I’ve been forced to confront this reality head-on. A significant decline in my physical health, leaving me unable to walk unaided or sit up without support, has served as a stark reminder of how years ...

Hey friends,
I wanted to share something that's been on my mind lately, something I've been wrestling with and learning to navigate: the art of slowing down. For someone like me, accustomed to the fast pace of life and always pushing through obstacles (aka a workaholic), this journey into deceleration has been both challenging and enlightening.
I've reached a point where my body is demanding attention, where ignoring the whispers of discomfort has led to louder cries for care. It's a humbling realization, acknowledging that pushing through pain doesn't always lead to progress. In fact, it can sometimes exacerbate the damage already done.
I've been forced to confront deep-seated beliefs about productivity and worth, realizing that my value isn't tied to my ability to constantly hustle and acting accordingly. Believing that it's okay to pause, to listen to what my body needs, and to honor its limitations doesn't mean I'm giving up or becoming less valuable. It's so hard, but I'm giving it my best effort, every day.
One of the most significant changes has been welcoming Jeremy into my life. Jeremy isn't your typical companion—he's a cane, complete with personality and charm, and some neat bells and whistles. Yes, I'm planning to give him some flair with googly eyes, some bling, and maybe even a bit of hair! He's become an integral part of my support team, helping me navigate each step with newfound grace, stability, and a little less pain.
Adjusting to unexpected physical changes isn't easy, but it's a journey worth taking. It's about finding beauty in the slower moments, celebrating the small victories, and embracing the support systems that lift us up. A year ago, hearing I need to use a cane and/or walker (walker coming soon) would have made me laugh out loud. When I look back though, I realize that there were balance issues and pain, but I ignored them until every step I took was agonizing, scary, and honestly dangerous for me. Hoping now that I didn't wait too long and it's reversable.
My advice to you, don't wait too long. Stop, listen, and do what your body tells you it needs so it can continue to serve you, but, if you've already waited too long, be gentle and kind with you. You don't have x-ray vision and didn't know and celebrate the support you have or can get.
So here's to Jeremy, to embracing the pace of life, and to the journey of self-discovery that comes with it. May we all find strength in vulnerability and joy in the journey.
I'll leave you with a photo of Jeremy, my trusty companion on this adventure. Stay tuned for his makeover—I promise it'll be worth the wait! 🚶♀️🌟

New article I wrote on LinkedIn.
Heads up for Twisted Souls Press followers.
The bookstore on the website is under reconstruction. I'm working on making it prettier and easier to navigate. Please bear with me as I make the changes. I have to re-do them all 1 by 1 so it might take a couple of weeks before it is up and fully functional again. :(
If you are so inclined and would be willing to help a fella out, I could greatly appreciate anyone willing to do some data entry work on the cheap. It would be pulling data from the website and putting it into columns in a spreadsheet. It will help speed up the process tremendously.
Message me if interested?
FYI for my business peeps.
Just got notifications from my Twisted Souls Press page about posts I made there 2 hours ago. They were not scheduled posts. The notifications said Twisted Souls Press posted them 2 seconds ago.
Not sure what is going on, but posts not showing up for 2 hours can put a wrench in the works for time sensitive posts. Plan accordingly.
We have a new page we'd love for you to follow!

Dear Twisted Souls, We are thrilled to announce a truly magical addition to the Twisted Souls Press family – the internationally renowned Wiccan priestess,
So, I'm reading this book by Cat Gina Cole and taking a class with the her on it. We do weekly deep dives on the concepts in her book, and kind of bounce around the topics based on what's going on in my life at the time, so it is a really profound experience for me.
She has group classes too. I highly recommend this experience. Getting the personal time with her is priceless!
A call for submissions to check out.
Doing my Ta Done lists again.
It's a to do list in reverse. I list all of the things I do in a day, as I do them, so at the end of the day, I see exactly where my time and energy were spent, see how much I actually accomplished, and can end my day without feeling like I got nothing done. Guilt and stress be gone!
I fall asleep easier and sleep better. I eat and drink less often than I thought, and when things seem a bit off, I can look back and see if and how I might have over done it, and deserve a rest.
I count everything, including hygiene, trips to the bathroom, eating, drinking, quick conversations with the people around me, text messages, and scrolling social media, as well as tasks for work, chores, and starting off into space (brainstorming).
If you struggle with feelings of inadequacy, "I'm not good enough", "I'm not doing enough", "I'm not achieving my goals", I highly recommend starting and maintaining a daily Ta Done list.
It will give you a clear and concise visual of your day to day and makes improving time management skills easier, but it also shows you exactly how much you are doing and what is standing in your way, if you aren't getting what you want done, done.
Give it a try for a week and let me know how it works for you!
