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.

We only had a month to get as much remodel done as possible, pack our old house, find space in new house to actually live in, and to not break down. The stress we lived under prior to buying this house was insane, we worried all the time about rent, money, bills, you name it. When we found this house we both knew it was a crazy jump, but one that if it worked would wipe the financial burden from our shoulders. However, we knew from the get go … Continue reading Demolition day
I hope if you find this that it gives you hope, because for many, that’s all they have.
