Death of My Darkness
Anyone who has ever battled depression, addiction, and been in a toxic relationship has been told a million times that in order to move forward, they have to change the environment and people in their lives. I stopped talking to people I had my entire life because I couldn’t disassociate them and the darkness. I hated the darkness they brought to my life. I purged everything dark and negative out of my life, one piece at a time. Not only to save my own life, but to be the mom my daughter deserved and the darkness had robbed from her.

No one understands as well as we do how hard it can be to put up with our family. We know that we struggle to deal with each other and asking a stranger to not only accept our messed up ways but to get along with us is a lot.

I came up with the idea recently of writing a story featuring my niece as the main character that explains some of the basic tenets of witchcraft. The reason being is that she started to ask questions of my sister and I about our faith. And I understand that explaining religion to a 7 year old can be kind of confusing.
So, this is my way of explaining to her what it is and what we believe. Continue reading A Witchling’s Adventure

I was raised a non-denominational Christian. By the time I was eight, I had read three versions of the Bible and “graduated” from Sunday school to attending the actual services with my parents. I went to a few of the Bible study classes with my parents, both at the church and at the homes of various fellow church goers’ homes. I participated in the annual Bethlehem Walk and went to Youth Group with my sister. The whole family went on trips with the church and to Christian camp. My mother was in the choir and joined in various plays put … Continue reading Finding my Faith
