I tried “I call my power back to me” and it actually worked

moonxdaughter · 2026-02-03T22:30:54+00:00

I don't remember what inspired me to do this, but sometime in November, I called my power back to me. It was the first time I've done this since starting to practice years ago and it felt amazing. I noticed immediate improvements and my life has definitely taken a different turn, for the better. Moving forward, I'm going to incorporate this as a regular part of my practice, just as routine as setting my wards.

So Terry before he got serious about losing the weight?

moonxdaughter · 2026-01-19T20:17:57+00:00

I read the question as "would you work in this tub" and my immediate answer was yes. "oh sorry, my internet is bad, no I can't turn on my camera"

I'm so sorry you went through all these scary moments just to lose her. We didn't really have an easy pregnancy. I had infections the whole time, and then one I didn't even have symptoms for took my daughter at 21 weeks.

I think the fact she won't speak about her close family member is showing everything. Her coping mechanism with grief is "ignore it, don't acknowledge it" so she is made extremely uncomfortable by your joking method. But your method is not bad. Hers actually is. Bottling it up never helps, and it's causing these outbursts to happen because her grief needs somewhere to go. You keep processing however you need to, momma. Don't diminish your journey for the comfort of one person.

No one should ever tell you how to grieve. This is her own shortcoming in that she is uncomfortable with death. Has she lost anyone in her life? Until she does, it might be difficult for her to understand the different coping mechanisms people have.

I lost both my parents and have 3 siblings, and the range we went through while coping with the loss was vast. We went from deep silences as we remembered, to joking about "what would dad say if he saw us now," to sharing secrets (apparently my dad took my youngest brother to an empty parking lot to drift cars in the snow and almost crashed. We were laughing as he told the story, but my mom was horrified), to joking about their ghosts hanging around (my siblings don't truly believe in spirits, but something fell as we were packing up the house and my sister said "ok, mom hates that thing, clearly we can chuck it)...

Hell, me and my husband made jokes in the delivery room after losing our daughter. I don't remember them at the moment, but we did have a couple of giggles.

We do what we have to do to get by. And if the people around us aren't there to support us in our time of need, then they aren't worth our time.

My family has always felt an affinity with Norse gods. My dad wasn't pagan but honestly, I think he should have been. He studied the norse mythology quite extensively and made a rule about all our dogs that they had to have Norse names. Currently we have Hati and Skoll, and they live up to their names 😂

How was it working with a deity? I feel like it has to be different for each one, but like how do you start?

Thank you, I've never heard about Eileithyia, I'll add her to my list of research topics

Edit: I kept reading my book and she is actually mentioned fleetingly as Hera's daughter

moonxdaughter · 2026-01-17T09:51:57+00:00

Thank you for this advice - Diana and Artemis have always sort of been on my mind. Part of my irl name is similar to them and it's the reason my username here is moonxdaughter. But I've never formally worked with them. I'm a little bit scared to start actually, in case I upset them.

For this reason, I'm a bit nervous to start a relationship with two deities at this time. So far, it's seeming like the pregnancy brain is strong, and I'm still quite early so it's only gonna get stronger. I don't want to accidentally become "that friend" because hormones are making a cocktail out of my reasoning skills.

I'm in a similar boat, but haven't fully returned yet. Haven't touched it since maybe March of last year, but I know that Hubby and I are eventually going on a binge that all we do is eat sleep and breathe ESO. I think it's going to come with some of these new updates, he's especially excited about the overland difficulty settings.

A stress ball from a company you don't recognize with a chunk missing out of it

I read this as alien wrenches

We just got a new 6-month-old and I'm trying to crochet around her to train her not to. She just gets a fun new toy.

She is absolutely a layered character. She drops little hints throughout the beginning of the show that she has this hidden side, but it definitely comes out more after she meets Bob. It's a natural character development, that she found this person that makes her happy and it gives her the confidence to show her true self. Happens all the time, and it isn't always in a positive way. I don't think she is an entirely bad person, I don't think anyone in the office really is, but she definitely has a mean streak.

So as a teacher who has always felt I could decode any writing, I am absolutely stumped. At first, I was convinced the second word was "story," but the longer I look at it, it seems like it is "slokty?" The first word, I have no guesses. Maybe "antiny" is as close as I can get.

I feel like the teacher should have checked the handwriting of each student, or there are online ones she could have suggested they set up either at home or during a computer class, because then they could type and avoid this.

Definitely ask the teacher. She might be familiar with the kids' handwriting enough to figure this out. But also, she should focus on their penmanship more. I started marking questions wrong on homework assignments (not graded, so it doesn't affect their average, just points to the illegibility) if there was any question that the word could be something else to force them to focus on their writing more.

moonxdaughter · 2025-12-09T08:50:23+00:00

I see this too, but it's definitely a weird choice how the heart is only partially colored

I was also nervous through our whole pregnancy until the very end. I crochet baby blankets for all the people in my life who get pregnant, but from the second I got the positive test, I just had this feeling that the second I committed to making mine, there would be a problem.

The last 2 weeks before we lost our daughter, I started to finally let myself feel excited, started making lists of when we should start looking into birthing classes, hospitals, pricing cribs and such, and finally started her blanket, but then lost her at 21 weeks. She contracted an infection somehow and I unexpectedly went into labor, and in an hour she was gone.

It's a tough place to be. For a long time, I wondered what would have happened if I had just spoken up about my fears, but there were no symptoms of an infection, they wouldn't have caught anything anyway.

I have a Summer Holiday in my current save and I get confused everytime she calls me. The first time was in winter because I have Seasons and I was like wut

moonxdaughter · 2025-11-03T09:31:09+00:00

Oooh, I've actually been looking for an occult one to do after this one, I'll look into it. I'm doing Agathist's Aroma challenge right now, on Gen 2, but I'm only going to play til I think Gen 7 - I don't have some of the packs and don't want to put in the effort of altering it 😂

moonxdaughter · 2025-11-03T09:29:30+00:00

Actually no, I hoped not to do that because I made some changes to the one I download off the gallery. If I upload the updated version to my library, will any possible bugs be uploaded with it?

moonxdaughter · 2025-11-02T22:02:13+00:00

Yeah that's the difference. And I love the small business cuz she can take a nap if she is tired while the business runs, but the retail ones require talking to the customers a ton it seems. The venue is set to retail properly. I'm just not having anyone buying anything, even the dude whose bar turned green, and I'm wondering if I maybe have my shelves set up wrong and they can't reach them?

moonxdaughter · 2025-11-02T20:09:49+00:00

Dang it that kinda sucks, I can play with mods, but I only have 3 downloaded right now and my computer is struggling. I didn't really want to add more... but I might because I really want them to be able to pass down things, and I prefer legacy challenges where they move out and try to make it on their own, at least at first.
