MSC HUMS 200 - Helping Professions/Crisis Intervention Midterm was completed and sent in today. I just heard back from the professor and I got a 15/15 on the whole Midterm. Which makes that out to be an A! Yes!!! 😊✊🏻🍎✨

Ho’oponopono, what does it mean?

It means…

I am sorry.
(Please) Forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.

The Ho’oponopono prayer is part of an ancient Hawaiian practice, and it could play a central role in your relationships and your own physical and emotional healing. Its four tenets: repentance, forgiveness, gratitude, and love. If you're ready to feel better, heal better, and move forward your own...

Recently, I’ve reconsidered going to Empire State College in the Summer of 2027 (where I was accepted) and furthering my pursuit in becoming a counselor. The reason why I have reconsidered is primarily due to financial concerns, especially in these economic times. Which brings me to a pivoting my goals. Please know that I am going to continue to substitute at Sidney Central School District indefinitely with an open mind keeping a possibility of a full time position if one should become available next school year.

Secondly, I am not as available as I'd like this school year as I’d like to within ISD Oneonta and my job as a substitute for Sidney CSD. If all goes well I’ll be done with all my classes May of 2027 with a certificate in Human Services added to my Associates in Applied Science Degree with a minor in Nursing (LPN) I already have with SUNY Morrisville and DCMO BOCES.

I want to personally thank you all for your continued support and friendship (friendship most of all). It is still my goal to study ministry when I can with ISD, not so much to be an ordained minister though. I only wish to obtain the title of Decon and continue metaphysical studies with our esteemed instructors for my own personal growth. I found out that serving on Sundays as emcee and homilist is enough for me. I also found out in counseling others in these practice sessions in these human services classes at MSC it has been giving me flashbacks on my own life. So as much as I wanted to counsel people, it’s not for me. I can do pastoral care such as healing prayers and provide healing intuitive support, but long term counseling not so much. I do have a list I could give people of trained certified people to refer out as a "spiritual advisor" (different from spiritual counseling) in the way to assist the people in need.

I also maybe volunteering, hopefully with St. Lukes Lutheran Church, in other ways in the community I live in as well (Sidney, NY). These are programs such as a food bank, backpack program, and BP clinic they have with their nursing and medical professional members as a ministry program.

Just I found out recently, that’s enough for me in my life. I know I am a good caring person at the heart of who I am and that’s enough for me. I know who I am now without other peoples opinions and I am worthy and enough. Something I struggled with for a long time now. I don’t wish to live in negativity or spread that onto others anymore. Yes, like many of us I’ve been through the dark night of the soul aka hell and I don’t want it to rent space in my life anymore. I wish to live in compassion, empathy by spreading joy and kindness wrapped in love.

I wish you all well. God Bless and Blessed Be. Namaste and Hopoonoo to all.

In the spirit of the season. Know there is no Ai here. These are actual photos of me unedited of me as my own witchy woman self and what I currently look like as a witch. I actually prefer these over any Ai generated ones. This is authentically me. I am a witchy woman who is a follower of Jesus, Mother Mary, and Mary Magdalene. I don’t confine to one religion, my spiritual practice is unique and all my own. Definitely private too. Let’s just say I wouldn’t mind dancing clothed in the forest in front of a bonfire with my rosary beads praying to God at the same time.

Something worth remembering…

For when I have the time and someday in the future…

After about 20 years of not writing a college paper, I got an 83% on this Critical Thinking paper for my Introduction to Human Services class. The only thing missing is my thoughts to be brought into action to reduce First Responder su***de rates in the next 10 years and I jumped to the graduate level with discussing the idea of a “contract”. Thank you to who all helped me with this paper, especially Cindy Reidi and Mark Forest. It is a very important topic for me. Especially since I am a first responder that had mental health issues due to the job. I don’t want what happened to me happen to others or have them go it alone. I’m always here.

Here’s a link to the paper:

We are both going back to college, both with the hopes and dreams of working towards our Masters Degrees. James in Project Management and I in Social Work. I’m so proud of us and the life we are building together. 🍎❤️✨
