We actually went out the other day and interfaced with the world in that way, which we hadn't done in ages. We danced, which was exciting. I met new people, which was also wonderful. I then spent a large portion of yesterday recovering alone in my bedroom because the world is extremely stimulating and I'm very much not used to it yet! I'm working on a few larger scale tattoo projects, one has one session done and another to go, one is booked for LA in October, another is just beginning, and then I received another inquiry for a cute ornamental piece this morning so hopefully I'll be able to book a room at this all-woman tattoo shop in Redlands that I really want to work at and do that soon as well. I have one slot open for a $100 portfolio piece from my Sympathetic Spells book, and can book High Desert, Inland Empire, or Los Angeles for it. Let me know if you'd like to claim it! I'm leaning heavily into ancestral work this season, namely in working towards healing some of the wounds in my line, which is looking a lot like listening to my grandparents' from beyond the proverbial veil, speaking to my children, and having long talks with my own mother and reconnecting with my father and stepmother. Not all ancestral work is about asking for things, for we will be ancestors one day, too. With this I feel especially inspired to hold space for folks this Samhain season, and am creating a really beautiful Samhain flash sheet to be offered once in LA and once in the High Desert (though if there's enough interest I can probably book another day in either place) and offering these pieces at really reasonable prices. I can share that sheet on 10/1, which is exciting even if none of you are interested in booking, just because I feel so proud of what I've created for it. So that's the dump from the last couple of weeks! Happy Equinox to my friends here. How is the shift settling in your world?
