Bathroom Woes

Posted by: shealm on: December 29, 2007

5yr old: Mommmmmmmyyyy
Me: I’m going to the bathroom B can you wait please.
5 yr old: But mommy, I have to go pee pee
Me: I am going to the bathroom B, please wait for me to finish
silence for all of 5 seconds…
5 yr old: Mama are you doing poopie?
Me: *sigh* [...]

(I know, shameless plug for my new forum)

My Heart Aches

Posted by: shealm on: December 21, 2007

It is with heavy heart that I write this. A mama I know from a forum board I am on has passed away
from her battle of cancer recently. She was a great mother and a wonderful person.

To the family of the mightiest mama, may you be well,
may time heal all wounds
and may your beloved rest peacefully.
Jessica, you were loved.

Posting My Ceremony & Why

Posted by: shealm on: December 14, 2007

A couple of days ago I noticed someone had searched for pagan rituals for wedding ceremonies on wordpress. They happened to come across my blog and I figured I would post my actual ceremony as I had built it. Feel free to use bits and pieces of my ceremony if you wish.
To those of you [...]

And Still More Wedding Ceremony

Posted by: shealm on: December 14, 2007

Honoring of those who have passed:
Song to play before reading – Fly by Celine Dion
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in [...]

whatever may come? (Answer: ‘I will’)

Wedding Ceremony – 2 More Readings

Posted by: shealm on: December 14, 2007

Readings
Reading (done by Matron of Honor – Christine)
Love feels no burden,
thinks nothing of trouble,
attempts what is above its strength,
pleads no excuse of impossibility…
It is therefore able to undertake all things,
and it completes many things,
and warrants them to take effect,
where he who does not
love would faint and lie down.
Love is watchful and sleeping,
slumbereth not.
Though weary, it [...]

Wedding – Reading One & More Ceremony

Posted by: shealm on: December 14, 2007

First Reading:
Read by Sister of the Bride – Sheriesse
The Art of a Good Relationship
The little things are as important as the big things.
It is never being too old to hold hands.
It is remembering to say “I love you” at least once a day.
It is never going to sleep angry.
It is at no time taking the [...]
