A new week!

Though I am writing this on Tuesday - a bit late to start the week!

Van and I got to go to Halifax on Friday! YAAY! I was afraid that once again the weather would be my enemy and that it would not be safe enough weather to drive. We got kicked out of work early though so we could beat the storm and we made it to Hfx with 45 mins to spare before the ice storm hit!

We spent the night at B's house and got to spend time with the baby! :)

The reason I wanted to go to Hfx this past weekend (other than to see the baby) was because the Spiritual Science Fellowship (otherwise known as SSF) was having their annual Spiritual Fair and I hadn't been to one in YEARS and I was very drawn to this year's classes.

So, we dropped Van off to shop downtown while we went to a couple of classes and shopped around a bit.

First class was Energy and Chakras workshop. While she didn't talk about anything that we didn't already, it was HOW she spoke that was the best part - very calm and meditative. She took rather long pauses in between sentences and the tone of her voice was very soothing and both of us found it very restful and relaxing! :) YAAY!

We then had half an hour to walk around the booths and displays - couple of stores had set up shop and shop we did! LOL! They had readers available as well, but I really didn't want to spend the money on a reading - I wanted the jewellry and stones! :)

The second workshop was a demonstration from Rev. Michael and Rev. Mae on their gifts from Spirit. I have been around the SSF at various times since 1994 and have seen Michael at work several times. He has never been one to ever want to read me and Saturday was no different. He came to B first though and basically told her that now that she has the baby, she just has to go with the flow! What else can she do?!? LOL. He is much more confident than ever before though and said that he has been working without his "tools" the past couple of years, but really wanted to go back to using them for this demonstration. He always used runes and so he used them on Saturday. He did very well though and was much faster.

While he didn't come directly to me to give a reading, he would look at me at various points - look me right in the eye and would state some things and make sure I listened and then continued to speak to the person that it was originally directed to. Very interesting - all of what he said was basically giving me a "swift kick in the ass".

Then, Rev. Mae got up - I had not seen her or dealt with her previously. Her gifts of the spirit are much different than Michael's. She would be the epitome of a "parlour psychic" - makes it look flashy - dressed up in the garb and all out wild-woman.

But, the thing is - she was DEADLY accurate! Very pointed - blunt - and accurate. She would come to the person, take their hand to read their energy of the day and then blurt forth the information. She too kicked me in the butt about things, which was a good thing and also did the look at me while speaking to others so I got mini-readings in between while reading for others as well. Lots of fun!

So, I left there feeling very confident in making these changes - confident in that what I am feeling so strongly about is the right path for me at this time. YAAAY!

Then we went to pick up Van downtown and went to Little Mysteries. It was their 13th birthday party and everything - EVERYTHING was 30% off!!! WOOT!!

Van had already been in there and bought something for himself and a surprise for me. Then we all went back in there and I found a Crystal ball - including stand - maiden, mother, crone stand - so cool!!

I also got a new wand - protection, courage and psychich development - very pretty. :) Van also bought for us two draperies - one is the phases of the moon and the other is the 7 chakras/7 religions of the world.

He also bought me a positive thought necklace to help boost my mind-set, as well as to gather more positive energies and thoughts for my new path endeavours. He also bought me a huge - foot and a half long, 2 inches thick slab of selenite. Soooooo cool!

At the fair I purchased a large Black Quartz point - probably 7 inches tall and 3 inches thick as well as a gorgeous malachite and amethyst pendant and matching ring.

Overall - so rejuvenated...and I'm trying to be more aware of the choices and the things that I put my energies into, so I'm much more aware in general AND I got to see my best girl and her baby and had a lovely couple of days with my hubby!

Lovely overall!
