My Question - Posted on main too... but looking for some ideas?

[Wynde]

Just checking in with everyone! It's the season of FIRE and boy are we feeling it! WHEW!!! Hot, hot, hot!
I haven't been on here in a while and I noticed that there are no discussions going on at all!
I would like to pose a question to any readers please.

Suppose your life has been soooo hectic with children, work, house renovations, debt, illness... ect... (ALL THE THINGS WE ALL DEAL WITH IN OUR LIFE HERE).... Well, I've been completely snowed under with ALL these things and much more and haven't been able to find the time to practice my rituals as I was able to do a year ago. I really want to get back into the joy I recieved in practice but being VERY short on time and NEVER any privacy, how do you guys and girls find time for at least some practice in such a hectic world? I don't want to become detached! I don't want to lose any special talents I may have progressed with during my practices with meditations and visualizations and the abilities to speak with my guides. (the last of which I was JUST getting in to, and never fully attained that grace)... I think of the old adage "If you don't use it; you lose it" and I almost feel that this could be happening to me!?! Any ideas on how to fit in just a 'little' time for ritual practicing? To thank the goddess and god.... short rites to make sure I don't lose my place with them? Any input is appreciated!

Blessed Be my Brothers and Sisters of my soul!

I make the time to practice. Even if its 10 minuets of self meditation its something. With two kids its difficult especially when one is a special needs.
Every day before dinner we all gather together around the table light a few candles and do a small tribute as well as get a few moments of the much needed quite time. We then pull out the arts and craft box and teach the kids one new craft. We dont socialize much as all our friends are too busy for us. So we found the time.
Every night before bed light a candle tea light votive ectra and do some meditation for 5-10 minuets within time you will find the time to do other things. It will fall into place. Once you start feeling better everything will start to get better.

Thank you very much SacredOak for the great ideas on keeping time on my side!
I will be sooo happy when the construction/remodel of my dining room is completed and I can once again have that time with the children :)
Your crafting idea with the kids is a wonderful one! Thank you again and Blessed Be!
