My first (official) mothers day was great! I got a card early in the week from my mother in law with a check (tattoo fund??), and got a much needed watering can along with some herbs and potted flowers from my mom. Since it was a gorgeous day we walked around downtown after church, looking into the little shops but passed on the food truck rodeo for dinner at a super fancy bbq restaurant.

I love my hair and the dress I made in this picture even though poor Nova was making a face from the sun. But it was my day so I'm using it anyway.

What I'm debating:
Hamsa Hand tattoo
Finally get my Mary shaded
Touch up bird on back of neck

I'd feel super guilty spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars at a time so I'm gonna go with just one. Also need to find an NC artist I like......

Lights

Some people look too hard for signs and neglect their responsibility in making decisions.  Other times things happen to alert us to some life changing events.  And of course there are people who can find a "reasonable" explanation for everything and completely dismiss activities of a realm/dimension beyond our own.

That I can recall I've had three such experiences.  The first was in 2006 and was not a single sign.  It started when I had bought a pack of Tarot cards- one of those kits that Barnes and Noble sells that included a book with the sealed deck; it was on clearance and I decided why not.  I was excited to open the packaging but before I did said a prayer that if God had a message for me I would receive it, as I often do before approaching the Bible for a random passage read.  Looking through the cards I realized that one was gone though they were sealed in plastic and came from a box that was also sealed.  I quickly looked up its meaning and it was that I had put a lot of time into something but it was time to move on.  I had actually been meaning to break up with someone for a while but was dragging my feet- we had been together for a while, i was scared to be alone, you just get comfortable even in a bad situation.

Yes, God, I know, I know.

Shortly after he left town to be with family and since I was scared of the dark (seriously) I slept in the living room on the couch.  I was doing some cleaning and came across a card from a deceased relative I had forgotten about and it just touched me; I felt like I was protected.  I made a point to turn all the lights off that night and I felt safe and comforted.

When I woke in the morning, the light was on.  The light switch was in the on position.  I found it to be really weird especially since I had recently been having trouble with a light switch in another room sparking whenever I turned it on though the electrician found nothing.

Anyway, then Alex and I got together, getting engaged like 12 hours later and married a few months after that.  Big Life Change.

Second time, years later, the lights for half the apartment would go off and on like crazy.  While this was happening I became pregnant with Nova.  Big Life Change.

Third time, I started waking up to an upstairs light turning on.  I was pissed cause I assumed the cats were sneaking past the barricade and possibly sleeping on my fabric or eating my beads. (they are forbidden to the enter the studio).  Until it happened before my eyes.  OK.... at this point I expected something to happen.  I was hoping it was to win the powerball =) Instead, an uncle who I loved as a grandfather passed and I got news a great friend is moving many states away.   This could be how my life is changing now and bringing me to reconsider living in the moment and appreciating change, or maybe something else will come.

Just something thats been on my mind recently.  '
