Hey everyone,

Yes...I realize it has been a while since I have posted again. I went to the beach with my friend Yvonne and her son C.J. It was so fun! I had so much fun. I thought I would relax. But that was a laugh. With a child there, there is no relaxing. I know how it felt to be my parents when I was little. ^_^ I had a good time nonetheless. I went to the beach and had a goal in mind, to connect with the ocean. I felt like I did connect with the ocean. The first night I was there I watched the moon shine on the ocean waves. It was so beautiful. It is hard to describe. You have to see it for yourself. The last day, the ocean had made several tidal pools and I sat in two of them at two different times. One time I sat alone watching the ocean lap waves at me. I felt so connected with Mother Ocean. It was as if I had not connected with her in such a long time...and I hadn't. It had been years.

While I was there I shopped with C.J. and played mini-golf with him. We had such a good time. I'm Wiccan, as some of you may know. I am thinking of making a mini-altar for him. Just so he can have a personal altar for himself. I am also thinking about doing an ancestor, deity (for Anubis), fairy, and regular altar. I live with my parents. I am sort of one foot in and one foot out of the closet if you know what I mean. So I am thinking about buying a small coffee table to put in my room that has room to put supplies in it.

Yesterday, my friend Yvonne, her son CJ, her nephews Byron and Matt-Matt came over and helped plant our first South Carolina vegetable garden. Well...Matt-Matt helped. He is so cute. He is about 5...I think. We planted beans, cucumbers, squash (or squish as mom likes to call it), zucchini, and tomatoes. I think we should be able to be picking our veggies in a month and a half. I hope at least. I'm so looking forward to growing more and more veggies. Anyway, talk soon.
