We are visiting CJ's mom this weekend and the kids love checking to see if anything new is added to her treasure chest - which is filed with all sorts of nature :)

I've always had a difficult time letting go - even with the aid of magick, some people/situations continue to haunt me. I recently came upon R.A. Leslie, a renowned motivational speaker and life-coach and the author of the enlightening fairy tale,  “Do You Know The Sound of Throwing Stars Far?,” and the thought provoking romance,  “Chasing Rainbows”.

I've subscribed to her blog, Contemplate This and I've already had many life altering thought processes - for the better. Just her random quotes make me 'contemplate' LOL - I love this one:

"We are all dreaming. When we dream it while we are Awake, that is when it will come true!"

There is a Recurring Dream…

I absolutely love her! I did get her book "Chasing Rainbows" and read it in it's entirety, in one day! Now, this book is more of a romance as she also offers relationship coaching, in person or via the phone.


"Chasing Rainbows presents its readers with a meditative memoir-fairy tale romance in letters, through fiction and non-fiction narratives. The timeless theme offers lessons on how to use the gift of change as a way to live authentically, thus honoring the wisdom in our true selves. When we are honest with ourselves, our minds open to the innocence of our hearts and life becomes more alive."

Right now she is giving this book away. If you're interested, enter the giveaway :) Fill out the form below:

The first thing the Witchlets wanted to do when we got to the Faerie Festival, was make wands. I thought for sure the boys would want to make talking sticks, but nope, they wanted wands :)

The wands had all sorts of items glued on to them with a hot glue gun. Gemstones kept falling off, sheesh, maybe they should have used thumb screws instead! Now I have wands to repair already!

Regardless, they enjoyed creating the wands and CJ and I enjoyed carrying the damn things around all day, LOL...

Could this coming weekend get any more awesome? The weather forecast is amazing, the Beltane Fairie Festival is going on at Spoutwood Farm, AND...the full moon will be the biggest full moon of the year!

The last supermoon occurred in March 2011. This weekend, it will occur on Saturday (May 5) at 11:35 p.m. EDT. This one is apparently going to be so bright that it may outshine the meteor shower due also this weekend.

"It's light will wash out the fainter Eta Aquarid meteors," NASA meteor expert Bill Cooke of the Marshall Space Flight Center told SPACE.com in an email. Still, Cooke said there's a chance that the brightest fireballs from the meteor display may still be visible.

If you get photos, I would LOVE to see them! 

We have been going to the Fairie Festival at Spoutwood Farm for years and this year is no exception! This festival is the most magicakal festivals I have been to thus far. Have you ever been to this one?

Since this family is a bit musically inclined, the Withlets would love to start going to drumming circles. Now I am on the hunt for drums. What do you recommend? I know Mapex Drums are good but I think those are more for drum sets.

I got my drum at a local Pagan shop. I am not even sure of the brand. I also have a rain stick - which I love :) I would like to get each Witchlet their own drum so I can't go too expensive.
