Website....
This will be a short one just letting people know that I will be updating my website once again. I have deleted my Twitter account because I found it to be a waste of energy as well as not being a real good place for clientele. Anyhoo, when I was trying to edit my weblinks, I was unable to get to the bottom of the page in Firefox. For whatever reason, my server and Firefox do not get along.
This is why it takes me thousands of years to do my web updates because I know it will be a pain on top of a pain to get anything done.
The other problem is I hope Santa brings me a new Digital camera because my old one is dead and missing the charger. Yay. Stuff gets up and walks off around here.
By the way, if you're looking for small amounts of herbs, email me and ask if I have something you need. I am going to be doing a clearance sale for a short time. Shake your piggy bank and stock up now!

Where the Heck Have I Been
Wow... I come here after a long, busy run and see I have some people linked... following this blog! How cool is that? Thank you for sticking around and putting up with my ranting self. Yeah, I know, I carry on like a crab about certain customers but there are others who really surprise me every single day.
A woman who I made two Spirit-Gris for has been staying in touch by sending little thank you cards and such. I think this is the sweetest and very thoughtful touch. Last I emailed her, she said she was having computer issues so every now and then I get a card in the mail. Another person who purchased the Prayer Book of Power works really hard at improving his life both spiritually and physically. I offer him some advice when he asks questions and now he wants to ship a gift to me (!?).
The greatest gift of all is to see customers doing better, which means they hit the ground running and the spirits are active in their lives! I've found that most of my best customers have "got it" -- they figured out how magic and spirituality REALLY works -- it is a dual effort between what YOU can do for yourself and then the Spirit adds the oomph.
I am always looking for ways to show others how they can have a better life, whether it be through magic, through a dietary change or an uplifting article. I want to start updating this blog more regularly and with various content.
I just tried to post a link to an article but it didn't show up in the final published post. Sigh. That's no fun. I'll try something else:
(From "The Oprah Challenge: 3 Questions That Will Help You Find Your True Calling")
1. How does what you're doing make you feel?
When you're honoring your calling, there's an undeniable sense of stimulation and exhilaration. It feels like you're giving and getting "juice" from the experience. It just feels so right.
What stands out for me when I consider this question are all the years I spent as an anxious news reporter/anchorwoman. And then came the day I co-hosted my first show on People Are Talking in Baltimore, and it instantly felt like I'd come home to myself. Not because the conversation was especially earth-shattering or enlightening—the first guest was the Carvel ice cream man, discoursing on his flavors—but because of the feeling that at last I was where I was meant to be.
2. Does it have a positive impact on others?
Anything that makes you feel strong, connected, and aligned with your truth does the same when shared—whether it's making pie or choreographing a dance or counseling a friend. Nothing that really calls you is ever for you alone.
3. Does it turn up the volume and increase the vibration of your life?
Whenever you're engaged in the business of who you're meant to be, you're more awake, alive, and ready to play a vital part in your world. When others see your light shining, they'll be inspired to shine theirs, too.

Impatience Gets YOU Nowhere
Since last Fall, I had become so busy with new orders I couldn't see straight. For those of you who might read this who purchase Gris or oils, pay attention! All orders are taken in a first-come, first-served basis. Then there are other variables to consider, such as moon phases and astrological timing, and whether or not I need to pick up supplies for your order.
Another thing I've noticed are customers not telling me upfront exactly what they need from their Gris Spirit. This is NOT GOOD. Either I get a bunch of rigamarole and later the person tells me after a month "It didn't work!" (and that's supposed to be MY fault?). Or a person buys a Gris without giving a complete story at all.
There was a time when I didn't put spirits in these bags and they worked just fine. The power was much more subtle of course. Now with the spirits in them, things can happen quicker or happen easier depending on what is needed.
As for people ordering oils... oy vey. IF YOU ORDER MORE THAN 3 oils, expect this to take longer than eight weeks! I do not keep a large stock of master oils. Many of the oils I sell are custom blends. I decided to graduate to a larger bottle which means a higher price... too many people are ordering TEN or MORE bottles at a time then expecting me to turn them out overnight. If you don't like how I do it, and you can't read the website on the methodology of how I make the oils more powerful, then place your order elsewhere. I don't feel like answering a gazillion emails of "where is my oils?" and you will get autoresponses. Again, if there are orders ahead of yours, there is a waiting list.

Finally Caught Up
My auto-responder is now set to "off" for the time being as I move to the next order in line. Things are finally slowing down long enough for me to take care of other business, one of which is update my website.
My oil prices are going up but so has the bottle size. Customers, you will technically save by getting the larger size bottle! I've also dropped prices on powders and incenses (many incenses are out of stock-- I'll be making them on demand from now on).
I removed one entire page. I don't think anyone will miss it. The Gris Gris bag prices will be going up as well and friends, I put a LOT into those. You don't get a bag full of herbs and roots and let's call it a day. I evoke spirits and ask one to live in the bag. That's a whole new ballgame. I'm probably going to take down my list of rules too and go email only since some people think that is a joke. Some of what's on there doesn't apply now either.
I also have a Working Spirit which I'll be putting up a price for. Nobody inquires about it so I will fix! I have some new stuff I'll be putting on the site too.
Lastly, I owe a friend some of my time...
