I have been slow to post. Well actually I RARELY post, but I have recommitted to eWitch & PROMISE to post at least once a week. A common theme amongst us all is that we are really, really busy & I started to wonder what that really means. We all have a goddess given 24 hour day. How we chose to spend that is up to each one of us. I have a small web-based, wiccan supply shop & that really keeps me hopping. It is my only job but is not our primary means of support. So, I have
chosen to be busy. I am happy with the choice most of the time but suddenly I will feel overwhelmed with too much to do & not enough time. Then I fly around & bottles break, oils spill & I am swearing up a blue streak & I realize that I am too busy. It is time to slow down or better still, close up shop for the day & putz around the house. My husband can tell when I am over the top because he says I get a frantic look. And that is how it feels. Frantic, unhappy, tired & cranky. I read somewhere that the way to slow down your life is to walk more slowly. Sometimes I find myself power-walking from the car to Target or Kroger's. I am almost panting with the pace. I stop, I slow down & wonder why in the world I am racing to get inside a store. I think it is a habit. Zoom, zoom. Stay busy, accomplish, check off the to-do list, zoom some more. We race to achieve, to be recognized, to get "important" things done because we are very important people with very important things to do. Huh. We are also racing to high blood pressure & heart attacks, stress & anxiety & jaw-clenching sleep. In ten years, heck ten days, what we did today will probably not matter or be remembered. So. Why don't we all slow down a bit. The important things tend to get done & the rest won't matter. Let's all walk more slowly & enjoy our lives more.

I find the latter part of your post to be poignant. I used to zoom around work like a crusader. It got me nothing but grief and trouble. The problem was, no one ever so the importance in me hurrying around except me. Now I take it easy and roll with the punches. I've also learned to enjoy silence. It is truly liberating.
I love the concept of walking more slowly. And honestly it does make sense. It is sometimes as if we get so charged with what we feel must be done that we race through life ignoring or at times not even seeing the things that are placed there to actually bless us and help us to continue.
I think we have all had a little hurriedness in our lives as of late... It is so good to have your wise words back with us Luna.

So true, and so well said! Thank you for sharing.
My name is Selma Espinosa I'm a 46 years old mother with 3 adorable kids and I have been married for 17 years now. After the birth of our last daughter 2 years ago, I noticed something about my husband that was completely different. He comes home late every night, sleeps on the couch never in the bedroom with me and doesn't give attention to me or the kids. I remember the night he came home drunk and told me he was no longer attracted to me after I had kids.
I cried myself to sleep that night, I could not believe that the man I have loved all my life will someday stopped loving me. Just few days to our wedding anniversary, he stopped coming home and would not take my calls. I had to talk to a friend and she suggested I contact a spell caster who could help me bring back his love and attention. It was the first time I heard such stuff existed, I give it a try with high expectations. After my contact with the Priest spellcaster, he helped me cast a spell that made my husband return home to me and our kids. I know a lot of people need this to help them stay happy in their marriages. You can contact Priest Obongibok let him help you; write him on email OBONGIBOK@PRIEST.COM or WhatsApp +13612367973.
