To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives.

Vision Board 2024

Make your dreams and goals a reality ✨

Throughout the years, I’ve realized the power of vision boards. Creating them has become a crucial step for manifesting the life I want for myself.

Here are some tips for your vision board:

Make it inspirational

Don’t over do it with the pictures. Better 10 inspirational pictures than 100 meaningless ones.

Only put goals you are aiming for that particular year. I believe vision boards have more impact when they are more intentional

Make it authentic. Vision boards are very personal, make one that is authentic up yourself ♡

Let make the best out of 2024!

is there a patron saint of weather??

Yes! Several, in fact.

Saint Dimitar is associated with winter and frost, but I think that has more to do with the dating of his feast day than any miraculous winter hijinks.

But speaking of miraculous winter hijinks, Our Lady Queen of Snows is a title for the Virgin Mary, given to her after she caused a snowfall in the middle of August in order to designate the location of a chapel she wanted built in her honor. Growing up, my mother taught us the following prayer for when we were really hoping for a snowday: "Our Lady, Queen of Snows, dump on us!"

Saint Swithin's Day has a legend associated with rain; if it rains on his feast day (July 15th, so coming up), it's supposed to be followed by a very wet 40 days. If it's dry on the other hand, well, you get the idea.

Saint Méard is another rain-saint, but in this case he's specifically supposed to protect you against the rain. His legend says that he was protected from a particularly nasty rain storm by an eagle.

Saint Anne, the Mother of Mary, is associated with storms, too. Actually, there's a rather famous case of a man who asked for Anne's intercession when caught in a bad storm, promising to become a monk if he survived. That man was Martin Luther.

I'm sure there are a ton of others; there's one saint associated with wind, he is supposed to have saved a city from a fleet of ships, but I can't remember his name. But I hope this helps as a start!
