• Training videos from "Project Next" (business class we just signed up for).

Happy about:

• Getting the We'Moon 2023 datebooks in the mail! I'm so thrilled to have been the feature writer for the 2023 Holy Days entries (8 seasonal pieces and a welcome to the year).
  • Unboxing video is here. I'll have copies for sale with a small bonus in the shop next week.
• Fall colors + winter colors in the works
• Finishing both the Fall Logbook AND the October prayerbooks (September's are already on their way to me).
• Having finally had a graduation party/dinner for our oldest son (Lann).

Working on:

• Holy Days companion booklet for our Goddess Magic community on Patreon as well as an audio "behind the scenes."
• Rearranging the #30DaysofGoddess home page to be more useful and less cluttered.
• Color cards for September's practice.
• Getting our new homeschool year off to a good start without being too pushy/doing too much.
• Weekly posts for Global Goddess
• The first volume of "In the Temple of the Ordinary"--if I keep including this on my list each week, I hope I will really end up making space to focus and work on it! A major Cauldron Month goal was to focus on letting this one brew. however, assorted unexpected events (and inspirations!) have popped up instead.

Thinking about:

• Getting textbooks for our oldest's first semester of college and how things will change for our family as we enter this new stage.
• What to choose/where to go with new class offering ideas.
• Whether or not to start back up with our homeschool co-op.
• Self-care and how the cauldron bubbles in unexpected ways and reveals unexpected things.
