Hibernation is natural: I slept 9 hours last night 🎁😘
The winter solstice time is no longer celebrated as it once was, with the understanding that this is a period of descent and rest, of going within our homes, within ourselves and taking in all that we have been through, all that has passed in this full year which is coming to a close… like nature and the animal kingdom around us, this time of hibernation is so necessary for our tired limbs, our burdened minds.
Our modern culture teaches avoidance at a max at this time; alcohol, lights, shopping, overworking, over spending, comfort food and consumerism.
…and yet the natural tug to go inwards as nearly all creatures are doing is strong and the weather so bitter that people are left feeling that winter is hard, because for those of us without burning fires and big festive families, it can be lonely and isolating. Whereas in actual fact winter is kind, she points us in her quiet soft way towards our inner self, towards this annual time of peace and reflection, embracing the darkness and forgiving, accepting and loving embracing goodbye the past year.
Winter takes away the distractions, the buzz, and presents us with the perfect time to rest and withdraw into a womb like love, bringing fire & light to our hearth.
.. and then, just around the corner the new year will begin again, and like a seed planted deep in the earth, we will all rise with renewed energy once again to dance in the sunlight.

It’s Difficult To Be An Old School Romantic When Your Whole Generation Is Into Hookup Culture
It has always been my intent to have the love
that endured , thru time .. endless love
worthy of trying times and peace that comes
comes from knowing each matters , intimacy
is reality , 2gether in spirit …
1st – 9 months was just walking thru the motions
much like a jail sentence , I felt I had to marry
the boy , who had no idea of who I was, nor himself .
Calling me Spooky , he broke all vows , as well
as abused me .. 9 months was conformation and
affirmation …property I was not ..
I allowed him to charge me with desertion ,
and pushed thru guilt , having lost my virginity
created a compliance to a sex addict/cheater ,
which was known within my siblings
even double dates with brother in his cheating .
Letters , attested to the brotherhood of holding
secrets and lies ..
Uber close to Mother , who was law .. Cold towards
me ..
-2
2-3 Weeks ,
A very cute man, a party in Pungo Beach
brownies and instant like had him ask
me to move in …a soul mate with addictions
going nowhere , allowed me to say No
to moving in and yes to marriage .
It was a situation where he had the upper floor
of a huge home in Norfolk , his Mom
and maid downstairs …he expected I would
work and he could do …whatever .
I returned home, accepted , then broke an
engagement, moved to Richmond’s fan area
briefly, and returned , meeting , and married
within 6 months #3… 24 legal years .
I’m not sure I ever saw him in authentic self
42 years later ..
Knowing myself , I don’t sense marriage is
a reality , for the values my Granny held dear
were on her own , after her savage marriage
and divorce …
I’m not seen in the love light , as I would love
and stand for , just as I do children …
It’s taken years , years of set backs, but my
focus has been to have that experience
as my soul has searched for ..
I shall hold it within, as I continue the liberation
from all that took me way from my soul
intentions , and defined the very basic nature
of codes which I don’t feel should be received
as needy , so I hold my self .. No manual
it will be Thy Will, and I don’t feel a lack .
A simple life , of abundance in things many
take for granted , I will ever be grateful now
and the cherry on top would be the experience
of Divine Masculine …it really is Thy Will.
I’m not in limbo, searching or feel a lack
therefore …as I spend quality time , doing
what I what I require .. much in repose
knowing Peace, and Balance ..against odds
that try many souls ..
I am overjoyed that connections are being made
to that forever n ever kinda love, and foundation
we long for , exposing the renewal of the best
our hearts ♥️ and souls can offer ..
It’s a wonderful sign, an affirmation .
Now I lay my head down , certainly to sleep
and dream of a reality that’s tangible , not
only in dreams 🌈🎁😘❤️©️
Blessings & Peace ,
Doña Luna
Patience is Prayer …🤪🙏🏼💯

I am an average millennial but when it comes to romance, I’m what you call an old school romantic. However, it is slightly difficult to survive in a world where the basic idea of love is now swiping right or left on a mobile app. I see my friends meeting people at a cafe, event or club and instead of seeing where it goes, they end up hooking up and never seeing each other again.

Psychology’s Fake Science and How to Fix It – Part One : Blog : The Official Website of Dr. Zwig
Many are survivors of abuse, being abused , induced to a state
that appears as mental illness , disappearing in a matrix that
discriminates in most unholy ways ..
The concept of mental illness has no basis in science. The diagnostic manual is a dictionary of symptoms with no underlying principles or processes. The disease categories are fictitious entities created by a small group of “experts,’ not by scientific research.
