Life and Frigg

I lost my job a month ago. It's been a blessing and a curse. I get to spend more time focusing on and connecting with my children. But I was the main breadwinner, and our income has been drastically reduced.

Losing my job has lead to an increase in my anxiety, and I haven't been capable of doing anything to better our position yet. I would love to go into business for myself, but everything I would want to do is so far from fruition and would need more money than we have to start it up. And sadly, due to poor management in the past, my credit is nowhere near where it needs to be in order to get a business loan.

I'm slowly working on getting out of the funk. I am ready to work on a regular devotional practice. I will be helping my husband where I can with his shop and I am working on getting the garden and home into better working order.

The garden is so overwhelming right now. We tilled about 1600 sq ft and almost all of it is overgrown with weeds. I never got the broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and brussels sprouts in because all of our seedlings died before it was warm enough to put out. I know, now, that they weren't getting enough sun. Hopefully we can either build or acquire a greenhouse for those this fall or winter so that won't happen again. Or maybe a grow light, but we don't have much room indoors.

I'm talking to our local Heathen community about starting up a study group, and a women's circle. So many more people are coming out into the open, and I am hoping to build the bonds of our local Heathen community.

The last bit I'm focusing on is setting up an altar to Frigga. I also want a place for offerings to the house wights inside and the land wight outside.
