Sunday Cawfee Klatsch!

Not real....but I bet it will be eventually...

I've missed my Sunday 'CAWFEE' Klatsch! A tradition I grew up with, is one that I still love, though it has changed now that the elders in my life have passed on. One of my favorite memories of my childhood is spending time with friends, family, and neighbors and just chatting with the smell of freshly brewed coffee in the air. The Cawfee Klatsch is where I learned a lot about life, laughter and often, some new cuss words to add to my growing vocabulary!

Getting up on a Sunday morning to enjoy coffee and conversation with my hubby and cats is still something I look forward to often. Not quite making up for all the missed free time during the work week. However, there is something smooth and easy about curling your fingers around a colorful mug of my favorite beverage and just enjoying time with the one I love. And now in this modern age, when so many friends are far away or simply met through cyberspace, I get to enjoy sharing my thoughts with you here on my little blog!

Today's topic: Mercury Retrograde (henceforth-MercRx). Every time I hear this topic I automatically grimace and start waving my hand around like I'm trying to swat a mosquito away from my ear! Seriously, I'm a 50+ year old woman who has lived though many a MercRx. I have NO patience for the fear mongers and the Chicken Little's of the world predicting disaster will befall us all because it's MercRx. I'm tired of half of the world telling you to be afraid of everything and the rest of the world telling you to buy the 'cure' for whatever it is you're afraid of! WTF???

As a Witch, I believe in the interconnectedness of the Universe. I also believe in INFLUENCE, in FREE WILL and I also believe in ACCOUNTABILITY. The reality of life is that electronics break down, loved ones have disagreements, and if you don't thoroughly read your damned contracts, you might get screwed!!

MercRx is a time to really look at yourself...take responsibility for your life...get your shit together! Everything RE- is a good thing now. REorganize, REdecorate, REfresh, REnew, REread, REvisit, REcreate, REvise, etc. Do you get it yet? There is nothing about MercRx that is scary, except for your own bullshit procrastination in looking at the messy details of your own world and taking responsibility for cleaning it up. No one said you have to do it all...or do it perfectly. But DO something....except whine. Stop whining...seriously-it's bad for your complexion. 

Time to get more coffee and get to my own stuff. Enjoy your day!

*UPDATE* I wrote this blog back in 2014. I certainly have had quite a bit happen in my life since then (more on that in another post.) It was a couple of years after my parents passed, before my life-changing move to California, before the recent pandemic, and before my husband's crippling disability took hold. The one thing I can certainly say without hesitation is the my spiritual beliefs and practices have kept me sane, balanced and happy through it all. BUT....I've never had a practice that I mirror from anyone else. My mantra has ever been, "Your Path, Your Way" and ever it will be. So-to get back to the writing I so desperately need in these days and times, I bring back this post as my update. It tells you a LOT about me and my perspective on life.  Welcome new friends....Welcome back old friends....Welcome all!! (Lina-9/4/2023) I am a Bad Pagan. Well, at least I am according to the standards set by many in the Pagan community. Long ago I left group practice and

Being the executrix for my parent's estate has been like an endurance trial with a moving finish line. Never, at any point of this ordeal has this felt like it has gotten easier. The reason is my because my crazy siblings have a knack for creating chaos just when it seems I'm handling things well. At those brief moments when I think I am able to see the light at the end of the tunnel....*WHAM*!! Nope, just the headlights of another sibling truck making a delivery from Crazytown... It's the manipulation that gets me the most. My brother has been downright abusive in his quest to rule the world  get his 'inheritance'. Despite frequent reassurances from me that I'm doing what I can to settle all the business of the estate, he insists I do more and get him cash faster. At times he has relayed his wishes with extreme profanity and verbal abuse...other times with selective memory and invitations to Thanksgiving dinner. My older half-sister has just gone along with hi

Saturday Cawfee Klatsch! 5/24/14

Good Saturday Morning, my friends! Are you in your happy place today? I am feeling pretty centered at the moment. It is a beautiful Spring day....sunny, peaceful with a gentle breeze.  I have a cup of coffee on my left, hubby is snoring gently in the next room, and the two cats are racing back and forth, tossing each other about all over my apartment. At this moment I am truly content. I love mornings like this! Let me start by saying THANK YOU to the numerous individuals I received feedback from on my 'Bad Pagan' post. I was truly overwhelmed by the response and I thank each and every one of you for coming to visit me in my little corner of the world. This is not my business and I make no money from this. The Mid-Stride Moxie blog is just a place where I bring my thoughts, feelings and experiences and throw them out into the Universe. Usually, I get in trouble when I express my feelings, as they often run counter to the established authorities. To be embraced and find that I h
