For years I had no real direction in my life. Most people know who they are and what they need in life a lot earlier than I did. I think I can say that I have found that direction.
My kids will tell you I've always been a witch but perhaps they would use a different pronunciation. I admittedly have made many mistakes on this road of life, many of which have effected them in profound ways which I deeply regret but as we all know.....can't change. I have watched all three of them grow into strong, successful, loving people though and I am happy for them and extremely proud. I also have three great stepkids that have embraced me into their family with love and respect. I am indeed blessed.
So anyway, I had always been searching for something I could relate to on a spiritual level. I did my time with the organized religious groups and although I was educated and enlightened in some ways, it never really fulfilled my spiritual need. I always had something inside that said there is more to know.
I respect all religions as I don't believe that anyone has the right to judge based on a choice we as human beings make in our spiritual selves. The "I'm right---you're wrong" concept which so many people seem to practice is probably why I chose to follow my own path. I don't ever claim to be right. I just know that I'm comfortable with what I believe and I think that's what spirituality needs to be. For me anyway.
Nature is my church. I see evidence of a higher presence in the moon, stars and sun. To walk through the woods or to sit under a clear moonlit sky energizes me. The wonder of a thunderstorm and the touch of a soft breeze are reflections of the magic all around. I am thankful for that.
Everything is energy. I believe that we have the ability to use those energies within our own lives to create positive and needed changes within ourselves and the world. I also believe that praise is in order to that which is responsible for all that we are given.
Recently I was presented with the notion that I could make my beliefs my work. I do think that we receive nudges that we don't always respond to but I'm acting on this one. I created this page and a website for people of like minds. The website is still a work in progress but will grow as I do everyday.
You can visit my website (The Ishkabibble Shop) by clicking on the link below. I am offering high quality wares and information to like-minded individuals at affordable internet prices. With the help of my husband (my life-saver and love) I created and maintain this website myself with the magical blessings I have been gifted.
To my family and friends....thank you for your patience and forgiveness. My love for you is never ending.
If you love me (as a friend or w/e ) you'll read the whole thing. What would you do if for every moment you were truly happy there would be 10 moments of sadness? What would you do if your best friend died tomorrow and you never got to tell them how you felt? So, I just wanted to say, even if I never talk to you again in my life, you are special to me and you have made a difference in my life. I look up to you, respect you, and truly cherish you. Send this to all your friends, no matter how often you talk, or how close you are, and send it to the person who sent it to you. Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will. Remember, everyone needs a friend. dont ever leave the one you love for the one u like, because the one you like will leave you for the one they love. tonite your true love will realize how much they love you between 1 and 4 in the morning. tomorrow the shock of your life will occur if you break the chain. you will have bad luck for 10 years, if you don't pass this on to 15 people. if you get this it means the person who sent it truly cares about you..."
KEEP UR HEAD UP!
If you wake up in a red room with no windows and doors, DON'T panic.. you're just in my heart!!! Send this to all the friends you want to keep forever...

Today is the first day of Spring, and Ostara. We are finally seeing trees and other plants come back to life, the animals we haven't seen in months are out and about again. Not to mention, the winter weather is finally starting to drift away....
God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you NEED - To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be.
Dear God: The lady reading this is beautiful, classy and strong, and I love her. Help her live her life to the fullest. Please promote her and cause her to excel above her expectations. Help her shine in the darkest places where it is impossible to love. Protect her at all times, lift her up when she needs you the most, and let her know when she walks with you, She will always be safe.

One day someone special will be gone. And on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of your bedroom, you might be struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't any more. No more hugs, no more lucky moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, No more "just one minute." Sometimes, what we care about the most goes away. never to return before we can say good-bye, Say "I Love You." So while we have it . . it's best we love it And care for it and fix it when it's broken and take good care of it when it's sick. This is true for marriage .... and friendships ... And children with bad report cards; And dogs with bad hips; And aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, Because we cherish them! Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a classmate we grew up with. There are just some things that make us happy, No matter what. Life is important, and so are the people we know. And so, we keep them. I received this from someone today who thought I was a 'KEEPER"! Then I sent It to the people I Think of in the same way! Now it's your turn to send this to all those people who Are "keepers"
