I Be That Very Witch

Here in Manitoba, and in many places all over, society is "reopening" after the pandemic shutdown. Manitoba's Phase One, was implemented on May 4th, 2020: Basically, if you want to gather outdoors, see a therapeutic health professional, or get your hair done, you now have the green light to do so - still practicing social distancing measures, and still in groups of fewer than 10.  Conveniently, you can now go shopping in all retail locations and get ready to go camping! *cough*  Not without its shortcomings, a number of businesses are experiencing even more struggle, as they have opened, but are not generating the revenue that is required to remain open .  Personally, I cannot begin to piece together the desire that someone has to wait in a line outside a retail business, waiting for their turn to shop.  Honestly, online is far easier. I'll mention here, that wearing a mask in public spaces has been encouraged  but not made mandatory  for folks in Manitoba....

  Have you ever "discovered" something...only to realize that it's been there all along - you've just not really seen it? This is the dance I've performed with my anxiety...oh, my whole life.   I've disregarded my intuition for the most part, because it was so easily mistaken for the anxiety that veiled every aspect of my existence.  Yeah...fun. But in the last year, I've really applied myself to containing my anxiety.  I've learned that my intuition actually has a very different voice than anxiety does.  It comes from a different place.  I feel it in a completely different way, a different spot in my body.  It's sight...sight I couldn't indulge because my anxiety shadowed it...blocked it out.  I've experienced spurts of it...during meditation...card reading...spellwork... But now, it's "turned on".  I have it all the time.  I can see things in ways I couldn't before.  Sense things I couldn't before. ...
