So I just got the news today that my husband and our friend were approved for the apartment that we applied for. Our move-in date is January 1st. 2023 will be the year of new beginnings and mental/physical well being for us three. I am so thrilled to finally have an opportunity to be in a space where I can be myself and do my own thing without being judged or constricting my character as a person. I feel so blessed, and I am so excited to enter in this beautiful new chapter of our life together.
So unfortunately, I fell incredibly ill right before Yule, so I laid in bed a vast majority of the day with the exception of making home-made ornaments! I made a handful of witch’s balls filled with juniper, faux cranberries (just so they won’t rot), and cinnamon!
Pictured is one of the ornaments, a cool freezable mug my husband got recently that has an aspen leaf and snowflake in the middle (very Yule feeling), a new crystal stag ornament which was so beautiful I couldn’t pass him up while shopping for gifts, and my new Yule altar candle! I intended on carving bindrunes into it, and still do, but just don’t have enough strength after getting sick to do so.
I hope you all had a Bright Solstice and look forward to the Sun’s return as the days grow steadily longer!
