My dude and I are fumbling our way through lots of this stuff, trying to figure out how and whether to move forward together. The hardest thing for me, always, is making sure to ask "what could I be doing better?" first. It's much easier to cherish my own feeling of being slighted and misunderstood. I'll say, too, that it's only in the past year or so that I've really started to understand the impact that class has had on me. In a lot of ways I think I resist making too much money because there was such a sense of "this is good enough" while I was growing up. My parents didn't really have money, but I never felt the pinch; I was just proud that they could, between the two of them, make or do just about anything. I'm glad I have that foundation, but at the same time, I think it's prevented me from being money-oriented in a positive way. I'm also really uncomfortable with some of the trappings of wealth--the idea of the "property ladder," for example--and all of these things have caused some turmoil in my relationship.

It's all about 2 steps forward and one back, with me. I figure stuff out but then it's practice practice practice until it actually becomes natural to react in a positive way. Old patterns are hard work to break!! automne: It is strange how much class is an obvious part of other cultures but so hush hush here! And it's huge! Everyone wants to believe in the American Dream, but it's so not a reality for so many people. San Francisco is a crazy vacuum. lavona: Exactly!!! Spells and intentions to bring those people closer to me (and it is happening!) & especially some big love match energy, too! i love your new category, yay! on here i have the coven! same idea! I hope you get to have your get-away soooon. april: I know! It’s all about 2 steps forward and one back, with me.

I could use a little get-away right now too! Thanks for sharing your thoughts...I like "Celebrate" the most. I've decided that I'm only dealing with the Magickal people of the world from now on. So the word "Community" goes round and round in my head all day...all night. We truly have to join forces because we can only do so much alone...and time goes by so quickly. Did you read my last post about Hetty? What a magickal life! There's no time to waste with people who do not dance to the cosmic drum! People who dance to the cosmic drum live in Harmony! We deserve to be happy, healthy, wealthy, loved, and accepted! But we have to create that reality! Positive affirmations and visualizations have to be strong enough to over power our fears about not being broke, unloved, abandoned, stuck in a rut...yuck! "It seems blogs these days are all surface and passing around the same pretty photos!!" That's why I love your blog...it's like soulfood! I started a new blog roll category called "Sacred Hearts" for my very favorite blogs by magick makers, movers and shakers! It's Utopia or Bust girlfriend! Are ya ready to rock!? love & magick! xo Lavona How wonderful for you! I could use a little get-away right now too! Thanks for sharing your thoughts…I like “Celebrate” the most.
