2010 is starting off with a mixed bag of feelings and thoughts for me. I’ve been dealing with working through a complete mental and emotional road block that I hit around Thanksgiving. It was something that I had expected, to a degree. It was my first holiday season away from family who are back on the east coast while I’m not living in California. I had expected that it would be an adjustment with not being able to go home, but it seemed to be harder than expected. So everything came to a standstill and things that I love to do (this blog, my other writing, working with my clients, etc) have all suffered. So I’m asking 2010 to be my friend. It’s a 3 year in numerology so with any luck it will be one of progress and setting new trends.

So far it’s starting off with a bang. Yes, it’s that time of year for me again; time to move. I hate moving. I’m trying so hard to just find a place that I like enough that in a year I don’t want to move again. It looks like I may have found it with the place that I’ll be moving to this weekend. On New Year’s Eve my husband and I started the moving process. One our first night of moving things into the new place and doing things that needed to get done there we got to experience the atmosphere in our new building. There are eight apartments and I honestly do feel like I’m moving back into my college dorm. For most people in their 30’s that might not be something that they would welcome but, I don’t know, it just felt right. As we were doing the measuring of the rooms to help decide what furniture we needed to buy and whatnot, the apartment next door, who were having a New Year’s part, started blasting Alice In Chains. We both laughed and thought “ok, this we can live with”. The rest of the weekend, as we came and went and spent almost a whole day Sunday there, was nice and quiet. I did a good cleansing ritual there on the first night and the whole place just feel like home already. I’m very anxious for Saturday to come so we can finish the big move and be living there.

It looks like it will be at least another week before I can really get my life back in order since the next 5 days will be spent packing what’s left in the old apartment and getting ready to go to the new one on Saturday. I also need to get over to the new place to finish building shelves. Thanks Ikea for your wonderful Swedish bookshelf designs! And then, once that’s done and my office is set back up, daily blogging of something other than me talking about trying to move will return. It definitely feel like there’s been a huge hole in my life since the blogging fell off so suddenly.

I will, however, be doing more personal writing along with the usual stuff like daily reflections, tarot posts, Wiccan and Pagan news and topics, and the usual paranormal roundups (which I’ve been wanting to comment on the new season of Paranormal State but just haven’t gotten to it). I was thinking of starting a second blog for these sorts of posts (the more personal, “that’s my life” stuff) but after mulling it over I started to feel like I wouldn’t be being fully “me”, I guess you could say, by dividing myself in half through my writing. I mean, this is “One Witch’s Way”, meaning one Witch’s way through life and all it entails, good and bad, up and down, magickal and mundane. It’s not “One Witch’s View On Just Witchy Things”. There will be pictures, videos, art, and the usual mish mash of letters, words, phrases and sentences. Hopefully everyone will join me on this more personal, and hopefully more active, journey.
