I Need Ideas

I spent a little bit of time looking back over old posts that I did before Grandma died, and I can't help but feel like the content I post now isn't as good as the content I posted before Gram passed. I'd like to start up a new weekly thing like I did when we were doing Self Empowering Mondays. Now, I feel like if I start Self Empowering Mondays back up it might help me as well as helping anyone else, but I also feel like that would be going backwards instead of forward. I've thought about doing several different types of things, but I've not really landed on one that I really feel inspired to do. Lend me some of your ideas... tell me what you think. What are you looking for? What kind of content would you like to see at Confessions of a Country Witch? With the new year coming up, I feel like it's time to add something new to the blog content, so let me know what you would like to see, and maybe we'll all settle on something we can all agree on :D

Here are a couple ideas I've come up with.

1. Meditation Mondays
A new meditation every Monday.

2. Tarot Tuesdays
A new tarot card every Tuesday and a discussion on it's meaning.

3. Witchy Wednesdays
A new spell or witchy something every Wednesday.

4. Thankful Thursdays
Something I'm thankful for every Thursday.

5. Friday's Confessions
A personal confession every Friday.

And a fleeting thought: Maybe bring back Self Empowering Mondays and add in Friday's Confessions? I'm not too keen on Thankful Thursdays because I can do that in my journal. I'm liking the idea of Tarot Tuesdays and I'm personally liking the idea of Friday's Confessions. If I was to do Friday's Confessions I figured I would share my confession and you guys could leave a confession in the comments. Give me feedback my friends :D

Resolutions

I've started working on a workbook called the 2011 Goddess Year Workbook. It's a pretty awesome thing. It got me thinking about a lot of things that I would like to work on for personal growth this year. I don't know what it is about this time of year, when one year turns into another, but it always seems like everyone starts thinking about things they would like to work on or change during the coming year. Most of the time people don't really stick to their resolutions and there's nothing wrong with that, life happens, but I think if we set resolutions that are things we don't actually want to work on we won't do them anyway. So I got to thinking about the things I would really and truly like to improve in my life. Here are a couple of things I would like to improve.

1. I would like to learn more patience. I have my good days and my bad days, but I'd like to have more good days, when I don't mind standing behind the lady at Walmart that decided to pay for everything in change.

2. I would like to learn better organization skills. My idea of organizing right now is to pile stuff that seems similar in separate piles all over the place. This makes for a messy office and living space so I would like to learn how to better organize things.

3. I would like to be better about keeping my home clean. I'm not a slob, but let's face, sometimes you look at the vacuum and say "I hate you, I'm not using you today," and that turns in to not using it for a week and then you look down at your socks and go "OMG My floor is fricking filthy!" I dated a guy who was OCD and he freaked out about the tiniest speck of dust. I definitely don't want to be that bad, but I want to be able to have surprise visits from friends without going "OMG I really don't want them to see my house!"

Those are the main things I want to work on. In past years I've said things like I'm going to lose this much weight, I'm going to quit smoking, I'm going to quit drinking cokes, etc., but this year I'm going to go for things more tangible that I can force myself to do more easily than I could the other things. What are your resolutions this year?

I Hope Your Holiday's Were Happy!

Hi everyone, sorry I disappeared again. Things always get crazy around Christmas/Yule. I applaud all you guys that found time to post over the holidays. My holidays were wonderful. I spent it with my parents and my ex's family (not the jerk that called me a whore but my first love). Lots of things happened, some I should probably not talk about on my blog because I'm not sure how old all of my readers are and wouldn't want to give younger readers the wrong idea.

My first love is trying to convince me to move to California with him. I've visited California before but I've never been there for very long. However, I'm an adventurous person, and I know if I don't go I'll regret it for the rest of my life... so I'm moving to California with my first love! Now don't get too excited, I won't be moving for at least 2 years, I just thought I would share that decision with you guys. I'm scared and nervous, but I feel like this is a good decision. It's a new start for me, away from all of my family, and a chance to meet new people, and maybe get to know myself a little better. I revealed the plan to my dad and he thought I was crazy. He thought it was just another crazy plan I came up with to follow my first love wherever he goes, but even though I can't bear the idea of him moving to California and leaving me behind, this is also a decision based on what I need.

Anyway, I guess I'll tell you all what I got for Yule and you can tell me what you guys got. My parents got me a Nook from Barnes and Noble, T-Fal expert cook stainless steel copper core pots and pans, Mom crocheted some gorgeous pot holders for me (black, orange, and white), a cover for my new Nook, a beautiful green heart necklace, and my little brother got me this absolutely gorgeous prayer box necklace handmade from Tibet! In my stocking I got candy, beef jerky, and two different types of perfume. Oh and as a Yule gift to myself I got my lip pierced! It was awesome! My first love's family got me a pretty blue fuzzy blanket, and a gift set of Olay body was and lotion which included a free year subscription to Allure Magazine (one of my fave magazines!). Then my first love's mom turned around and regifted her gift that her mom gave her as a birthday gift to me (my birthday is January 23), it was a camo colored snuggie! First off I love camo, and I love snuggies so it was perfect!

I wish I could share the rest of my Yule with you guys because my first love gave me a wonderful gift, but it's probably inappropriate to talk about it lol. Anyway, I hope you're Yule/Christmas was wonderful. Many blessings to you all! Share you're Yule stories with me in the comments. Also, I'll have a book review coming up soon, I'm just waiting to get the book in the mail so I can read it. Also, out of sheer curiosity I'm adding a poll to the right side of my blog asking you you're age. I would really like it if you guys could answer it for me because I would really like to know the ages of my readers.
