Why?


In life we often wonder why... Why do things have to be this way, or that way.  Why do some beliefs entwine with each other sometimes in a soft gentle flow and other times it feels like they are drowning in quick sand with nothing to hold on to.

Sometimes, I think maybe it is acceptance... we become bias to the fact that what "We" think or feel should be the way others should think or feel.  And when that does not happen, a vicious cycle of chaos echos so loudly in our minds we often feel like we are lost or walking a road with no end, nor no beginning. Why?

They say blood is thicker than water... in a sense that is true; in reality... symbolically speaking it is a crock of shit. We all live this life walking different paths, there is nothing- not one damn thing wrong with that.. actually, that is the way life should be.... but because one person thinks, feels, hears, and/or sees differently, than why all of a sudden does life become so chaotic? Again, "Why"?

How often do we bite our tongues, in fear of saying the wrong thing, to the wrong person? How often do we speak our minds not really giving a shit who hears or who don't? Life, with its array of chaotic energy gets tiring... why bother to try this, or try that.  Say this or say that? Why? Why? Why?

Life is filled with two kinds of people.. those who see and those who don't. Those who hear, and those who don't. Those who accept, and those who don't.  Online, behind these screens- that tap into the huge world of everything.. a person can say, do, pretend all they want... who cares?  Often if people begins to get too much shit, they just change their online name and start all over again. But in the end, you will say, or do something and people will begin to realize who you are.

When you are younger and Elders say things to you like, you will understand once you grow up... or you will see - the older you get the less you begin to care.  Who cares if you do this, or do that?  What many people do not understand is; this is all true.  The older I get, the less I give a shit about mind games and people being assholes.  I stay in my little world, and I am okay with that... but when people start treating others different or badly that I care for, that changes the game.

What defines family, or relationships? Acceptance? If so, Why? In order for anybody to be comfortable with their self, they need to be able to look into the mirror and be okay with who they see.  If you are a hater and you can still look in the mirror and can be okay.. good for you! Karma is a bitch! No matter what path you walk, there is some kind of karma always waiting, it does not matter what you call it, its all the same F**king thing!

I am not totally convinced mankind is capable of unconditional anything. Many people would like to think they are... but they are not.  Somewhere in the back part of their mind they keep track of the times you have F**ked up.  I do not believe I am capable of anything unconditional... I would like to believe I was, but I am not. That's why I love my two furry children so much.. I can scold them, and although it may hurt their feelings after a few minutes they are right there giving love again.

So why? Why write this kind of post? Because today, I am truly tired of a lot of bullshit and sick of wondering why!! I have messed up a lot in my days, and I have lived up to it, I have paid my karma and I am still paying my karma, but you know what... the bottom line is, when I look into the mirror, I am okay with who I see!  Stubborn, Yes! Strong Willed, Yes! Pretty outspoken, Yes! Try to take people's feelings under consideration, Yes! But never try to bullshit me-or fest up in front of people and back away like a coward when you are alone to me ... I actually feel sorry for folks like that!!

Do you ever wonder why?

Path with Many Branches

I have been on my path for many, many moons, and throughout that time, I have studied many different pagan beliefs.  I do NOT and I can promise I WOULD NEVER follow just one thing. All of my life, I have been like a sponge wanting to learn everything I could. Have I paid for it down the road, oh hell yes I have! Have I changed anything? Hell No!   People will always fear what they do not understand.  If they do not have the courage to read and study about beliefs.. so fucking be it. Not my problem. I live my life for me, I am the one who will walk the last mile of my journey alone.. so what damn difference does it make to anyone how I decide to live my life?

I have many different kinds of friends,,all individuals, all unique, all their own person. Do they live by socially rules? Maybe sometimes, maybe not.. its their business.  That is the thing, most people cannot get into their minds.... each of use are different, many of us will never be a little sheep, following others to fit in. Who gives a shit?  I remember in school, all of the girly girls wanted to sit around so they wouldn't get their clothes dirty, while others didn't care. If that is how the girls wanted to be... so what? (Oh, in case you are wondering.. I was not one of those little girl!!)



In the past two weeks, I have had a ton of reality issues slap me in the face, and guess what.. that is not fun. Will I get through it, yeah, the best way I can. Will it change me... in some ways yes, it has-not so much changed as my eyes have been open to a lot things, things I believe I have chosen not to see. But I will not change a damn thing about myself to suit anyone, group, opinions or situation.

Now I will step off of my soap box, and share a few things I have going on at my shop this weekend.  I have a lot of different items that fits 'Most' paths, not all.  At the moment I am trying to stock my hoodoo section.  This week I will be adding Spikenard Cologne, this Jackpot Money Spray, A few more Hem Air Fresheners... I am adding several new herbs, I have made Yemaya Powders, charged for Fertility. Really.. there is just things being added each week. 

For all of you that visit the shop Blessed Solstice!! I hope you have a beautiful weekend.  I hope I am on your list to come visit me... until than.. Sending all of you many hugs!!!

For those who do not live near me, I do have an eCrater store:  WhiteOak Art Designs & More  I do not a fraction of what my store has but if you are looking for something not listed on the site, I am sure I carry it.  Hopefully, I will have my site updated one of these days (laughs).

Blessed Be,
WhiteOak

Moonflowers-RedGage



Enchanting | RedGage

This is a moonflower that I grew this year. I was excited about it because (like year-except I forgot) I was afraid they were not going to bloom.  But they wait for September for me anyway.  A moonflower is a very unique beautiful flower that not only smells enchanting, but is magical to see.  It only blooms one time, one night and than its life is over.  So for a short few hours, the world is blessed with their existence and there beauty until sunrise.




This photo is a moonflower at the end of its life cycle. The closer they get to dying, the more their scent goes away.

Poetry

Often when we write, we pull words from deep within our core. We try to find the words that fit that particular emotion, mind thought or situation. There are many times when we share our poetry or poems and they will not be understood. It wasn't until I joined Squidoo that I started to share my art and my writing including my poems the way I do today, isn't life mysterious and beautiful. http://amplify.com/u/a16p2y

Day-72 Macros Porcelain Looking Rose Magnet

I decided to call this photo a Porcelain Looking Rose because it reminded me of those porcelain rose knick-knacks that you see. This rose is also being made as bookmarks, prints and mouse-pads. This flower is also one of my flowers I am using in my Wedding Collection I am creating on Zazzle, links soon to follow. http://amplify.com/u/a16fzl

Yellow Daffodils

Yellow Daffodils

The Flower of Spring

For me nothing screams springtime is close like seeing the beautiful little yellow daffodils popping up everywhere. You can be driving down the road and look off to the side of the road and see this beautiful patch of these bright yellow flowers. You can be walking along a path and see these little beauties just popping their heads up through the dirt.

When I was a child attending school up North, we use to make daffodils out of crepe paper and I remember placing the flowers in my bedroom and just becoming thrilled about the thought of spring coming! Of course back than springtime also meant Easter which meant Coconut Cream Eggs and CHOCOLATE bunnies!!! Did I just associate Daffodils with Chocolate and Coconut Cream Eggs?

Information about Borderline Personality Disorder

Information about BPD

BPD-Borderline Personality Disorder

This page is dedicated to someone very important in my life! I have decided to created Faeries in honor of BPD Awareness.

Let me begin by explaining that BPD stands for Borderline Personality Disorder. By a vote of 417-0, the House of Representatives on April 1, 2008 passed H.Res. 1005, urging recognition of Borderline Personality Disorder thus making May BPD Awareness Month!

I strongly encourage you to research BPD and become familiar with the syptoms. They are serious, dangerous and in order for people who have BPD to handle life better they need treatment and GroupTherapy.

Carrot Apple Cupcakes

Carrot Apple Cupcakes

Semi-Healthy Cupcakes

am not sure there will ever be a cupcake that can be considered 100% healthy, but that does not stop me from trying.

I have a great recipe for a breakfast bread and although it is suppose to be healthy, I still have to alter it because of my sodium intake. So I took a few ingredients from that recipe and created a healthier version cupcake!

Instead of using frosting for the top of these cupcakes we are just going to sprinkle the top with powder sugar. However a fantastic frosting would be Cream Cheese Frosting or Butter Cream Frosting!

So lets start with the ingredients and get these cupcakes cooking!

Honoring the Divine Within

Clipped from www.squidoo.com

Honoring the Divine Within

The Divine you

When we hear the term: "You need to Honor the Divine Within" what comes to your mind?

Many years ago when I first started creating herbal products to sell, I based the whole concept of my business on "Honoring the Divine Within". In today's society (and I am sure it has always been the same way) men and women both, have to manage several different titles at once; Mother, Father, business person, wife, husband and so on. One of the main things I have always noticed is how easily (especially for women) to put your own needs on the back burners so you can take care of everybody else. I am not saying that is always the case, but the biggest majority of women does that.
