This weekend made me happy. I don't know how we did it, but we seemed to have bent time.

Stephanie was here for one evening/night, and Dusty for another, and we all had a lovely time. There was much relaxing and hanging out, and Michael got to spend fun time with each of them while I logged some much-needed sleep. On top of all this social goodness, Stephanie showed up with healthy, tasty goodies and Dusty arrived with scissors and a suitcase of professional hair color.

We all giggled, we all ate well, and I'm a (red-violet) brunette (sort of) again.

Days were spent bringing order back from chaos, and the house is once again a model of clean, shiny organization. The fridge is full, the meal plan has been written and my morning gym visits are once more established. I also slipped in some time to think about my broader goals for the week and the month, something I really enjoy.

Peace, harmony, and order have returned to the household, and I feel grounded again.

Oh, and a new hinge vow: from Beltaine to Samhain, refined sugar in the form of cake, candy, ice cream and non-nutritive sweets enters my mouth only twice a week or less. Hello fruit! SMIB

What is a hinge vow?

Oh, that's a Blue Star thing. There are two "hinge" sabbats: Samhain and Beltaine. At Samhain, the emphasis shifts from the Earth and its fertility---the female aspect of deity---to the Underworld, death, and the male aspect of deity. At Beltaine, it shifts back.

In a Blue Star ritual group, this is symbolized by the passing of a sword from Priest to Priestess. The Priestess holds it from Beltaine to Samhain, and the Priest from Samhain to Beltaine. At each hinge, you have the opportunity to take a hinge vow (usually something that will help you, but that's kind of challenging) for the next six months.
