Days Sixteen – Twenty-Second: Busy Bee #DoMagick

They say if you’re busy you’re never bored. Isn’t that the damn truth? But it also means that you may start losing time. Before you know it, an entire week has passed and you’ve forgotten daily blogs. I know, I know. Putting 7 days in a blog is cheating and it won’t earn me a win with #DoMagick, but the upside is the work I’m doing is the entire reason I haven’t had time to blog.

16th: This is where things got screwy. I did my morning meditation and nightly meditation, but the fact of the mat...

Day Fifteen: Renewel #DoMagick

Today my body told me to slow the f*ck down and take a down day, but I’m stubborn. I dragged myself out of bed at around ten this morning, spent over an hour meditating, took a nap on the couch, had some coffee. By one, I was back at the computer dealing with some email and answering my texts and PMs. I shuffled some paperwork, shredded the shred pile. I washed the rugs in the kitchen. I told the exceptional spouse that I was going to vacuum and mop the kitchen floor, but I just couldn’t must...

Falling From Grace #bdsm #eroticromance

He’ll give up everything…

Kevin Michaels rebelled against his strict Catholic upbringing and spent his days living on the fringe and immersing himself in The Dark Places, a club of debauchery and decadence a lifetime away from the quaint town he grew up in. There, he met Katrine, the first woman he ever dared fall in love with. When a fatal accident rips Katrine from this world, Kevin enters the seminary – just like his grandmother wanted.

Megan started going to church to find meaning again a...

Day Fourteen: Closure #DoMagick

Today was a day of closure for me. I spent the morning in meditation and got through some old email.  In the afternoon, however, I did something I’ve been putting off for months now. When my friend passed away last summer, she had given me a list of chores to complete for her after she was gone. This is one of those positions none of us likes to be in, but at the same time, are you really going to deny a friend their final wishes? Sure, I could have said no or just not followed through, but i...

Day Thirteen: Rest #DoMagick

Today was a rather low key day. Did my morning meditation and went to work, got everything done. Went home and spent the evening with the exceptional spouse. Just hung out really. Did my evening cleansing meditation and went to bed early. Got plenty of sleep.

I did not pull cards today as I knew it would be an uneventful day. I really don’t have much else to say today. This is why blogging every day for a #DoMagick challenge can be so tough. Sometimes you just have no idea what to blog about...

Day Twelve: Moving Forward #DoMagick

Today I started off with a meditation focusing on all the things I wanted to get accomplished. So here’s a list of what I manifested today:

Blogs scheduled and 3 of 5 volunteer things done. Falling from Grace is ready to go on Kobo, B&N, Amazon, and in paperback. I do have to do one more upload to correct 4 weird last-minute editing mistakes in Chapter 17 found during the paperback format. So if you pre-ordered on Kindle, look for an update first thing in the morning on the 15th. smh. The re...

Day Eleven: The “DO” in #DoMagick

I decided this morning, after sleeping on yesterday’s thoughts, that there is no time like the present to make changes. That’s what I meditated on during this morning’s meditation. Today is a “day job” day, so I won’t be getting anything meaningful done, and I might try to do some grunt work tomorrow.

As of May, I will have 2 days and 10 slots, for readings per month.  There’s no reason I can’t try it and see how it goes, right? Because the thing is – in order for magick to fully manifest to...

Day Ten: Finding Joy! #DoMagick

After my morning meditation and finishing some errands, I came home and worked on that final chapter. It was today, for the first time in a long time, I felt like I’d reclaimed the JOY I feel from writing.  It was the first time in a long time I actually said to myself, “This is a fun book, and I really ENJOYED writing this one!”

I also started considering all the things I am doing and whether or not I enjoy them.  There are some drastic changes coming in what I will be doing. I think I’ve fi...

Day Nine: Meditation Station #DoMagick

Meditation. That’s what I did today. I woke up, spent about fifteen minutes with my coffee in meditation of what I wanted to accomplish today (a carry-over from the last #DoMagick), then I went into the office. I got home at almost 7PM, went to dinner with the exceptional spouse, spent some time catching up with email and friends, did my meditation for self-cleansing and breaking any blocks near me, and then I went to bed.  I did not pull any cards for myself, nor did I spend any time getting...

Day Eight: The Power Divine #DoMagick

I don’t have a lot to say on this day eight of the #DoMagick challenge. First things first. I am keeping handwritten notes about my work. This does not mean I’ve been blogging every day. Once again, finding time to blog has fallen to the back burner in favor of meeting deadlines. On the upside, I really enjoyed my editing time. I felt empowered and it was like a spiritual retreat for me today. Like I tapped something divine within myself. It reminded me how much I actually love writing and st...
