So, I have always been the person who is too afraid to move because I am afraid of failure. Many people are afraid of things and still find the courage to move, experiment, and grow. I am working on becoming a mover.
I started this weekend with a craft project. I was very insecure but I just had to do it. My priestess is a very creative woman. I assume she doesn't create the wonderful things she does by looking down her nose at a book. Well, maybe some ideas she has gotten that way but she puts her own "spin", works with what feels right. I admire her immensely.
During my crafting session I decided that I was going to follow the directions at first but then I was going to "flip it up", just a bit. I started throwing in the ingredients the recipe called for but also other items, just to try it out. I mean, what the hell?! If it turned out bad, all I had to do was scrap it and start over. No biggie!
They actually all turned out pretty well. I felt really good doing it. Standing in my kitchen, drinking a bit of liquid courage, I felt close to my coven sisters even though they weren't physically there. I felt their confidence in me and their encouragement. It was very empowering.
Remember...Now that I no longer have to be perfect, I can be good.
I will write more about what I made after Yule, because I don't want to ruin the surprise.
Until next random thought...
Toodles and be Blessed!
