Well, the weekend past and the festival we went to was not only fun, eventful and exciting, but also a blast!! The kids enjoyed themselves and we being the massive Tribal family we are took home quite a few prizes and awards. We won the best carved pumpkin (way to go John), 3rd in the costume contest (Andrea, almost twirling off the stage was probably a good thing when showing your costume), Maddy took home the best dancing for three songs total to win a beautiful tapestry and Connor and Kevin won some cool stuff in the drawing.

At the end of the day the question we ask as we always do is, did we have one good conversation with somebody... I have to say yes. Although for myself I was a little saddened by not having given more readings, my husband reminded me that the ones I did were truly authentic and I met people who took a good kind of liking to me. For me personally I know I had a good conversation with those who I did readings for. It is a good feeling and I know that quantity does not equate to quality. I would rather have the quality any day.

As I have grown up in the mundane aspects of the world I learned some things about my spiritual. Whenever my life started to go bad, whenever I would say, "what else can happen?" something would. When I would say, "It can't get any worse." It would get worse in a way I couldn't grasp. What I learned was that the more I was "attacked" and the worse it got meant that in my spiritual journey and quest I was doing something right.

I was trying to be pushed down because I was doing what's right.

It got to the point in my life that I would actually worry that I wasn't on my right path because I was not getting hit with stuff all the time. Don't get me wrong, I am not someone who constantly looks for the punishment, the pessimistic side, the Eyore of the group. I just know what the phrase means, "Don't let the bastards grind you down." In today's fights I have a family  who gives me the support I need to get through the next trial. I am stronger because of it and hope each one of them is stronger through me as well.

As the trials pass and the bad things in the world try to put down the good people for being good people and you find that happening to you, just think for a moment, what and I doing right. Then think, screw the bad guys, I am not alone in my trials.

Blessing to all.

Good day,
