My last attempt at becoming more conscientious was a flop.  I'm gonna try this again. 

Today, I clean my room.  (I feel like a child, my room is such a mess).

Sunday, I go to church.  I'm actually met a fellow Pagan while I was at work one day.  I'm taking her with me this time.   :)

School has been in session for over 3 weeks now.  Only two school years left and then I'm out of there!

Well, I better get to work on cleaning.

At my church (First Unitarian Church of Alton) I am in the pagan chalice circle (we aren't a coven, just a group).  Together, we celebrate the sabbats, which is great.  However, this year each person in the group will be taking a sabbat and organizing a ritual for the evening.  I chose the Summer Solstice, since I don't have to worry about times conflicting with school.

Now, I am a follower, not a leader, so I feel this is going to be rather difficult for me, and as the date gets nearer, I've been getting more and more nervous.  I'm not really sure what to have us do.  In all the books I have that have group rituals in them, they are for covens, with priestesses and such.  And for the most part, all those rituals are too formal for our group anyway.

If anyone happens to read this and has any ideas, I would be  greatly appreciative. 

It's taken me a while, but I'm finally getting further along being more green, spiritual, and organized.  

I've purchased some re-usable shopping bags!  They should arrive in a few days.  I highly recommend this site to anyone who wants to get re-usable grocery bags.  They come in awsome colors, hold a bunch, and are very compact.  Here's the site to go to if you're interested.   www.baggubag.com

My room is finally getting cleaner.  I can see a lot more of the floor now.  lol  But I better be quick about finishing it, because my grandpa has made me a couple of really nice bookshelves that will be done in about a week, and I need to make room for them!  I'll put up pictures of them, probably.

I've been better about getting myself to church the past month.  It really sucks, though.  The day we're having our Beltane ritual at church, I have to work.  :(  Hopefully I can find soemone to cover for me.  I'm hosting the Summer Solstice, and I need ideas.  I was hoping to get to this one so I can see what would be best to do.

Anywho, I better get to work on my room.  I hope you all have a great Beltane!  Goddess bless you.

I know, I know.  I said I'd be more spiritual and more green, etc. etc.  I'm working on it, sorta.  Seeing as Samhain is the New Year for the Celts, I've decided to have a sort of New Year's Resolution.

 I shall do my best to be a more spiritual person.  As of late, I've been fairly "spiritually dead."  It's not a good feeling.  I feel very empty inside.  :(  But not for long.  During my Samhain ritual, I will make a commitment to myself to be more active in my spirituality.  How?

1.  Attend church most Sundays.

2.  Celebrate the Sabbats.

3.  Pray daily.

4.  (Maybe I'll think of more.)

Wish me luck; I'll need it.

Yay!  I finally have a job again!  Just working at Target, but it can't be that bad.  So happy.  :)
