Self - Confidence and Self - Love

Was having some trouble pep talking myself. There are times when I feel super confident and comfortable in my body and then there are times that I find everything to compare...I don't like being there and usually I can tell myself to stop being silly...

I was having more difficulty that carried over into the morning so I decided to use the universe for assistance. This would be the first time since I started my witchy journey that I have asked for something for me. I created a shower satchel and hung it up in shower with me and a spell jar for self love and self confidence to hang in my space.

Satchel

Chamomile - soothing, self acceptance, self confidence

Lavender flower - inner peace, self confidence

Lemongrass - promote openness, cleansing, sexuality

Small yellow circle felt pad - yellow for joy, positive energy

Rose quartz - calming, love, self confidence

Spell Jar

Red rose buds - love, beauty

Lemongrass oil and flowers - promote openness, cleansing, sexuality

Lavender oil and herb - inner peace, self confidence

Full Moon water

Purple/Reddish wax

I used the satchel in the shower and imagined those feelings of confidence and sensuality wash over me...it also smelled great 😃

The spell jar is hanging inside of my witchy work space to remind me that I am confident and that the most important love is self love 💕

November & December 2024: The Last Of The First & The First Of The Last

Frosted Echinacea:

I forgot to mention in my previous post that the gravy my queen made for the turkey & dressing was amazing. She used a base of homemade chicken broth & store-bought turkey broth and infused it with homegrown lemongrass & lemon thyme. You'd think that would make the gravy lemony but, instead, it just added a nice brightness:

Sunday's sweet potato harvest. This is what two roughly five gallon sized pots can produce so definitely a productive crop if you are growing in a small space like an apartment balcony. As a bonus, the leaves are edible (raw or sauteed like spinach) and, though they aren't prolific bloomers, their blossoms are similar to morning glories. This year's plants had beautiful pale purple flowers with deep purple veining. We planted Beauregard starts but, looking at the coloration of some of the tubers, I think we had some volunteers from previous years:

I drove around the neighborhood collecting bagged leaves on Friday & Saturday.

We are storing some to make leaf mold with. That will take time & moisture. I imagine by Spring time some of the bags will have broken down sufficiently:

The rest was spread around the front & back garden beds as cold weather protection that will eventually break down to amend the soil & build up the soil level. We're basically trying to emulate what trees do in the forest. It is a kind of regenerative agriculture for the home gardener:

This would have been a great shot (well, great to me anyway) if only that white-throated sparrow had cooperated. There was this strand of light just to the left of that shadow that would have made the white & yellow on its head shine but it either had its head turned the wrong way in the light or the right way but in the shadows. This was the best out of the bunch that I took. I still like the lines & colors in the photo:
