2015 was a year of MANY major changes in my life. For starters-moving across the country! We were planning on moving- but not as quickly as we did. But, everything fell into place at the right time and it was definitely meant to be. It was by far one of the biggest steps I have made in my life. I struggled A LOT but now that my spirit and mind are settled, I can reflect on what was a great decision. I am surrounded by nature. Forests, mountains, streams…everything a pagan hedge witch could ask for!
Another decision I made was to adopt out my snakes. That was very hard for me because my snakes had been with me for over 10 years. They were my identity. My being. My guides. But I decided that since I was no longer performing and working as much with them as I had in the past, I could not give them everything I had. It hurt like hell. I still cry. But in the end it was the best decision for both myself and their well being.
I ultimately decided to give up performing at private events. After 10 years in the business, I could no longer deal with the stress of private events. And after leaving my hip belt in the closet for a while, I eventually decided I wanted to spend more time focusing on teaching. I love teaching dance, if only for the simple fact that nothing brings me greater joy than empowering women, making them love themselves and watching them grow in confidence.
2016 will be a continued year of growth for me. I have started a coven, which I hope will blossom into a great and beautiful group that will have open circles so we can educate the public on what Wicca and witchcraft is. Its small, but its a start.
I want to start a dance troupe here in Flagstaff with my signature Primal style. And I definitely want to teach– a lot.
The only “resolution” I have for 2016 is to stop comparing myself to others. This is something that I have been wanting to focus on for awhile! So its my goal for 2016.
