Mid-Week Bump

I've been pretty consistently having a mid-week dip in energy, and today I want to look at ways to build momentum for the end of the week. I think I can be proactive, and make a plan to preserve the goodness of the week throughout each of the five days, so that I arrive at Saturday feeling fulfilled and content.

Agenda:

1. My bump plan

2. Renewal brainstorm:

3. Writing themes and passion flow plan:

Easter Sunday

2021 egg hunt

Easter is the most important and joyful of all Christian holy days because it marks the resurrection of Jesus. Easter always comes after the spring equinox, when lots of things in nature are returning to life; specifically Easter falls on the first Sunday after the full Moon on or just after the equinox.

The English word Easter comes from the Old English Eastre, which was the name for the spring season.

Easter is the penultimate time of hope, renewal and new life, which is at the heart of the message that Christians wish to proclaim and live in the world. I see this as a reminder to live each day as a new day, and to have faith that the actions I take will have transforming power in the world.

Agenda today:

1. Read "Revolutionary Witchcraft"

2. Greet the Easter sunrise with joy
3. Love meditation

4. Egg hunt

Garden this week:

1. April garden tasks

2. Hardening off

3. Planting

4. Sharing with nature

5. Build healthy soil

6. Cover everything with plants

Good Friday

Permelia and Madeline, our first duck ladies

 Today is Good Friday, when we mark Jesus’ death and burial. This morning I remember again that the soul's "dark night" is a part of the human condition. I reflect on desperation and despair. My capacity to experience despair is a gift; through it I am transformed. Jesus said, "You must be born again." (John 3:7). The ability to shift from despair to hope is how I get the strength to live life whatever the daily deaths I might face.

Agenda today:

1. Darkness to Hope Meditation

2. Read "Intrinsic Hope"

3. Proaction and reciprocity plans:

4. Dye eggs

5. Bake hot cross buns
