This past week has meant a lot of reflecting for me. I came to a point in which I had found myself giving too much time to energy vampires and had to take a hard look at how I spend my time. And as I began reflecting over things, I came to a point in which I had to make a decision on how to handle those things that were sucking up time and in general my own behavior.

Reflecting right now is perfect timing. The year is ending and who wants to end the year on a bad note? So I began with my check in with the Clergy group (when we don’t physically meet, we check in with each other online). Then this past Saturday was my first workshop on Scrying. I haven’t taught classes before so this is a whole new realm for me. I was nervous. So nervous that I had a hard time gathering up all the supplies and setting up. I even left my Rescue Remedy at home, which I ended up not needing. Our Beloved Crone sat in on this workshop and that made me a bit more nervous. I wanted to do well and especially do well for Our Beloved Crone. The class began, I took a deep breath, and it went off without a hitch. I was thanked profusely for the class and told repeatedly that it was quite the “meaty” class (instead of a sparse intro that left too many questions dangling). I went home smiling and proud of myself. And that got me to thinking about my recent accomplishments. Sure I made some mistakes in my dealings with people, but what about those recent accomplishments?

Sunday was our Devotional that a fellow priestess led. What I want to call a juicy devotional. We discussed what we would leave behind in the light and bring forth with us in the dark. Again, we reflected. I made the decision to leave behind the idea that I was some sort of Superwoman and the shit flinging monkey (ya know, the one that sits on your back and tells you how awful you are!). And I am bringing forth with me the idea that I shouldn’t always be the one to take care of everyone else’s needs and I am going to wear my accomplishments like a warm woolly blanket.

Then we sang. This particular priestess loves to sing and usually picks the perfect song, I have been singing it since Sunday. And this is what we sang

I step into the flow and then I let it go.
I open my mind, my heart, and my soul.
I step into the flow and then I let it go.
I open my mind, my heart, and my soul.
Oh I———— surrender
Oh I———— surrender
Oh I———— surrender
I open my mind, my heart, and my soul!

Simple. Effective. Perfect.
