Every year I enjoy watching these movies on FrndlyTV. I know I am a spooky girl all year round but if I need a pick me up it is a Hallmark Christmas movie that I choose. So I’m a way I am both a Christmas and a Halloween person. We will just call it both parts of my personality. I want to do a series on my blog in which I share a movie I enjoyed starting with maybe some of my favorites of all time. I think it would be fun to share the reasons why a movie is a favorite of mine, what parts of the movie strikes me as worthy, and what is it about a Hallmark movie that makes me label it as superior to the rest. The holiday season is here and this is a fun project for me to focus on as well as get my writing time in for just having a good time.
I am going to start to gather a list of a few Hallmark Movies that I enjoy and then talk about some of the newer ones that have been already released on screen.
Aside from that I will be sharing more of my work as far as poetry, stories, and thoughts on healing.
I cannot wait to see what this season brings.
Love,
A
My dearest.....
Witches, Warlocks, Goblins and Spooky Boos,
I've been MIA for a while now. And to be honest I had to think really hard about whether or not I wanted to keep this blog going or not. I could not decide if the season for this blog has ended and if a new beginning was to pass. Fate seemed to have other plans as I cannot seem to press that delete button. I do feel the flow of this blog does need a major facelift and change of direction. I was spending time trying to chase the dream of being a content creator or book influencer. The more I did book reviews for authors the more I realized that all I essentially wanted to do was help my friends with their dreams. I wanted to know where this feeling was coming from and so I took the time to dive deeper into that question. For those close to me know that I have been working on my healing journey for the last three years. I have endured so much during this small time frame that the person I see in photos from year 2020 and the person I see now are completely different people in every kind of way. I started creating journals for fun and I discovered through creating them that I had a much bigger purpose than I ever could have imagined. My talents and my gifts that I have been blessed with are for healing. For healing myself and for helping others on their journey towards a happier life. I started to share my personal healing triumphs and lows. I am open and genuine about the process but also try to make some of my content fun and engaging. What are my plans for this page?
My plans for this page would be to gather a plan, create a color scheme, create a schedule, and consistently show up. I love writing blogs and sharing a piece of my heart on the screen. As a writer I find blogging to be the most natural form of writing. The issue is I struggle with finding the inspiration or the push to come write on a frequent basis. I dabbled more into what was causing that issue and I discovered the reason why I declined showing up for myself in the form of writing/creating. The reason is a deep rooted one unveiling the fact that I still have a ton of healing to do. See? Witches. You are not alone. Sweet friend you are not alone in ripping apart all you have known about yourself, and placing together a newer version of yourself. I am doing this hard work every single day. Some days are good, and some days are really dark. I know now that if I continuously deny myself the ability to write and create that I am subconsciously telling myself that my dreams are not important. My dreams are important and that is part of my puzzle that I am working on repairing as I type this to you today. I believe that if I can show up here on a weekly basis, than this is a step towards a greater dream of mine. The dream of writing a book from my heart, that changes someone for the better. Ultimately, that is why I've wanted to be an author my entire life. It was not just about writing a story, but learning that the drive to write a story comes from the deep desire to make an impact on someone else's life.
In conclusion,
This blog will continue to have book reviews and recommendations. But the sole purpose of the this blog from here and moving forward is to share my passions as I discover them, to share my ups and my downs. To share my words in the form of short stories, poetry, and more. I want this blog to be a reflection of my very soul, and a reflection of my true inner shadow work and healing. For if I can show up for myself on this blog, then that would mean that I can show up for myself in all of the other areas of my life.
So to you witches, warlocks, goblins and spooky boos I will leave you with a token of love.
For this is not an end of something but the start of something so much bigger. I hope you stay with me along for the journey and know that you are so very much loved.
Take care of yourselves and each other,
Love,
A
Good morning Spooky Boos. I created another freebie for you. Creating these brings me so much joy. I love to make them for you in hopes someone out there looks forward to them. I also hope that it brings us together. I hope you have a magical week ahead. (Click the image.)
Love,

Dear Magical friends,
I am so sorry that I have neglected my website. I apologize leaving abruptly without any explanation. The truth is that I suffer from intense anxiety. In order to create my mind has to be open for creative input and when my anxiety or stress is at its limit, my creative desires are wiped away. One of the biggest triggers for abandoning my creativity revolves around change and there has been much of that over the last few months. We are going to be relocating and renting out our home. I’ve been house hunting, packing, planning, and adjusting to a huge change in our home life. On top of that big change I am adjusting to a few other changes that are a bit more personal. Today there is a huge storm outside and in order to drive my anxiety in a different direction, I decided to focus my attention to my blog. I wanted to let you know that I am okay and I am still here. My reviews have stopped for a limited time due to my inability to read fast when my stress is at its high point. I am learning new ways to manage stress but if you know anything about anxiety you know that what worked yesterday may not work today.
What are my plans for this website in the future?
Wow! What a loaded question. First off the future is scary but I am so excited to see what is ahead. I plan to write about my new business in which I publish journals, notebooks, planners, and more to help with healing and mental health awareness. I am targeting these journals to reach the audience that I most relate with and that audience would be those who have a look for all things spooky, nerdy, and cozy. I am aiming to reach people who are like me that do not find inspiration in black and white, floral notebooks. We find inspiration in all the dark and lovely. The different and strange. My business name is Book Witch Press and if this is interesting to you please go give my business page a follow that would mean a lot to me!
With this blog I also plan to write more about the healing process and mental health. I will also share books, movies, and art. I will eventually pick up my book reviews again when the time is right. I am going to be opening a Wattpad account and start writing again. I would love to share that information on my blog as well as any updates in regards to my books.
What other plans do you have for your Business?
I plan to create downloadable files for people to use with their spooky families, and their healing journeys. I eventually will explain my business to Etsy or another site similar for downloadable content.
I cannot wait to see what the future holds, and I appreciate all of the support you have given me. I will be here because this blog is a passion of mine. I just need to adjust to some things first.
With love,
A🧙♀️
