Out of here by the end of the week. Will try to grab as much contact info before I go. Have recognized my addiction to social media for some time now, but have chosen to ignore it. My business will still be found at oldwaysceremonies.com and I’m going to try to send newsletters from there and post to the blog.

Otherwise, I’m going to try to do something other than compound the most hours scrolling through pictures. Tending plants, reading books, mending clothes, rowing my boat, taking down fascists, celebrating life.

If we don’t have shared contact info outside of here, let’s share it. Phone calls are amazing.

Was gifted this beautiful quilt today through the mail. Sewn and embroidered by a very dear friend who has had my back so hard this last year. Social media has nothing on his weekly phone calls. ❤️‍🔥

Didn’t get over to visit my mom today, but had a full day of projects around the house. Took the solar panels down from the mud room roof. Apparently they are my neighbor’s and I needed to move them so I can replace that second story window.

🌳Cut down the fruit tree near my front door. I was hoping it was a plum tree, but I’ve become convinced it’s just a native black cherry that’s aggressively sending shoots up near my house.

🌀Made a spiral herb garden using the rocks I haven’t yet moved to the driveway. (I’ve moved about 2 tons, I’m estimating) Started filling it with soil that I’ve been transporting out of the woods from old pot growing planters the previous owners left behind.

🫐Not pictured: I moved three blueberry bushes from under the mud room windows, where they were getting snow from the roof dumped on them, to a garden bed that I weeded.

Cool experience of pointing my phone at the sky and seeing what’s hiding to my naked eye.

Just some random shots from the last couple of weeks. Have enjoyed a relaxing summer for the most part. More ceremonies have been coming my way this month and I am so grateful to all the folks who have referred me to others. While business builds slowly, I’ve returned to substituting at the school district. Will turn to studying for my pharmacy law exam soon, but have been taking some mental health time from it for now.
1) Curing some squash
2) Frog friend in the raspberries
3) Found some twinkle lights in the shed left by previous owners. Excited to find them a cute home. Maybe the bedroom??
4) Experiment 1 for insulated window coverings in the sunroom.
5) More Peaks Island visits
6) Homemade salsaaaaa
7&8) Free plants/flowers from mom.

My second wedding in the northeast in the books. Wish I could have done more this year, but my cross country move has taken its toll on my business. BUT for being only my second wedding here, and not knowing the wedded couple previously, I ran into a woman I knew from college when we were both tour guides together. She was singing with the band! Wild! And I’m less than 50% sure I recognized a guest but I can’t remember context and no name came to me….but I know I know her. Is New England really on big small town?!

From City of Refuge by Starhawk.

07/19/2024

Rereading The Fifth Sacred Thing by Starhawk. Written in 1993 about this time and 20 years later. You can replace The Stewards and Millenialists with Republicans, Corporations, the religious right,
MAGA-ists.

There’s a lot of death in the book. A lot of pain and torture. There’s also magical thinking that’s based in meditation and alternative healing such as acupuncture and energy meridian work. There’s more tangible stuff like community organizing, community care, freedom only being realized when all people have their care and basic needs freely provided for.

It feels like my playbook for surviving the next twenty years, if I’m so lucky. So, time for more reviewing.

Finally figured out how to schedule my MPJE (pharmacy law) exam to have my pharmacy license reciprocated to Maine from Oregon. It’s in a week. Not thrilled, but gotta make some money for this house that is nothing but a million projects.

The rest of the week will just be studying and writing a wedding ceremony for August.

Received this wonderful review from last week’s wedding. What an incredible start to my ceremony work here on the East coast! Not only was this couple so emotionally intelligent and articulate about their relationship, making my job of telling their story so fun and easy. But they had deep roots in Maine that had some overlap with my own which feels so wild in some ways. It feels good - special - to be making ceremony where I have these deep connections.

Not sure who did the cake or flowers - will update when I find out.

Baby’s first trip(s) to Peaks Island for a wedding rehearsal and ceremony this weekend. I look forward to many trips out here for future weddings. Jayson and the team work wonders with their space. Wish I had taken more pictures of all of the lovely in-season flowers the couple requested from the floral designer. They were amazing! I’ll have to wait for more photos from the photographer.

Welcome to my home. Won't you pull up a branch?! Yeah, pull it up and off of my roof please. Thank you! Was worried about this tree falling on the house from the day I stepped onto the property. Guess I don't have to worry about that anymore. I'll start limbing it up tomorrow after I have rested from all of the shoveling. Power is back!
