I'm in to the blog... yayyyy!  Thank you Kathy and Aziza for the workshop, Spellbreaking.   I enjoyed the opportunity that the two days gave me to journal again... something I had put aside for the past few months due to family 'demands'.  Morning pages are a wonderful way to put down on paper anything and everything that comes to mind.  Right now the morning meditations and mandalas are taking that time but serving the same purpose... slowing down my chipmunky chattering mind. 
The challenge will be to take the remembered and newly learned skills back to my other life.
