After LivingWitchy posted about her resolutions for the Samhain New Year I decided why not share some of my own spiritual and personal goals? I’m sure some of them might seem a bit silly to some but to me they hold meaning, which is what it’s all about.

On my personal blog/website I have a list of goals and aspirations that I’d like to achieve sometime in my life. It would be easy to post a bunch from there to say “Hey accomplish these little things” but I think that might defeat my purpose a bit. So while one or two come from there it is only because I feel like it’s something I should actively seek out. 

• Dive into the world that surrounds my religion - basically I really would like to sink myself into finding out more of what my religion is and what I believe in. I’d also like to do more things involving my path rather than shunning away because I don’t feel I am ready to do so, which is where my next goal comes from.
• Make a holiday my own - this really refers to celebrating a holiday meal my own way and making it personalized for my family. Say spaghetti for Christmas rather than Ham or something. Something that isn’t traditional or what others (like my Father) deem as normal. Even celebrating Ostara before Easter and Mabon holidays fall under this. 
• Keep moving forward - On Mabon I held a small ritual to cast out negative thoughts concerning a couple subjects which have plagued me for a few years. For the most part my ritual was a success but every now and then I still have slip ups and have to pull myself from the twisted kingdom and hold myself afloat. Keep moving forward. 
• Continue to be my own person - I’m 20 weeks pregnant today, halfway through my pregnancy. I’m due March 20th of 2012 and one thing that has been on my mind since the beginning was losing myself. As much as I want to be a Mother, I want to also continue to be myself. I don’t want to lose myself in Motherhood and forget that there are goals I wish to accomplish and a personality that doesn’t revolve around baby.

What are some of your resolutions?

Ever since Jeremy (my Husband) and I moved in together in 2007 we’ve purchased candy for Halloween and decorated the inside and outside of our house with what we could. Granted 2007 we could only put pumpkins on the window due to living in an apartment, but we celebrate every year.

Tonight was no different as purchased candy and turned our porch light on in hopes that perhaps this year would yield at least ONE trick or treater since we’ve had none in the past.

GREATNESS ABOUND WE RECEIVED THREE TRICK OR TREATERS! 

I cannot express how overjoyed and happy I am.
