Merry Meet one and all, my name is Lady Rose:

I am a wife, a mother, full-time employee trapped in an office cubicle, and a witch. I will be writing about my observations and musings about life and other topics that I enjoy. After all the world can never have enough ramblings, (and rantings), of a slightly eccentric, off-beat, still a hippy on the inside 50-year-young woman, who happens to follow the spiritual path of wicca and struggles to find a bit of balance, serenity and laughter in the choas that is daily life.

This past Oct. (2005) I turned 50 – I celebrated by getting two tattoos. It was a long and sometimes difficult road to travel to achieve this milestone, but along the way there were also many wonderful, joyful and awesome experiences. Reaching 50 has been a very “freeing” experience — I finally feel like an “official” grown up and it is very empowering. Even though I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up and I still don’t have all the answers to life’s questions, I have learned to be thankful for life’s gifts and to enjoy the simple pleasures that each day brings. I am also learning to enjoy the perks of being a grown up (such as early bird specials, being called ma’am, speaking one’s mind). However, my inner child is still alive and well – she can be silly, stubborn, naughty, and often irreverent.

I consider myself a “kitchen” witch and wiccan, my focus is on honoring Mother Earth, the simpler spiritual aspects in every day life rather then any one particular religious practice. Over the past 30 yrs I have also been a member of a large group of wiccans, a priestess of my own circle, and at times a lost soul along the path. For me, being a witch\wiccan is way of life and a spiritual path, not necessarily a “religion”. For me, a witch embodies the Mother Earth and the Goddess in her many aspects (the Joyful Maiden, the Nurturing Mother, and the Wise Crone), she brings a bit of magic into daily life, honors nature, cares for her family and home with love.

I am also a survivor (poverty, childhood abuse, cancer to name a few). The past does not define who I am, it is only the road I traveled to become the person I am today and will continue to evolve into in the future. From a childhood of poverty and abuse, through an adolescence of heartache and loss, into a young adulthood of dashed hopes and dreams, grief and enormous stress, I have arrived at the doorstep of a new decade with renewed strength and optimism surrounded by my wonderful husband, daughter and friends, who give my life meaning and purpose.

Misc. Fun Facts About Me: I am married to a wonderful husband (Teacherman), and I am a mom of a 10-year-old angel from heaven (Angelgirl). She came into our lives at 5 1/2 months old from China, and every day since has been a joy.  Favorite color: Purple Favorite animal: Dragons – Favorite TV shows: Charmed, Monk, Law and Order - Favorite Holiday: Halloween (I was born the day before Halloween) – Current Hobby: Planning a totally awesome Harry Potter 11th Birthday Party for Angelgirl, to be held next year (Yes I know its a year away – but if you know how I throw a party then a year is barely enough). Other Hobbies: tarot, reading, hanging out with friends, various arts and crafts, and way too much TV.

Bright blessings, Lady Rose
