ATTENTION!!! 'All Milkweed is protected in Michigan under a state law ensuring it is excluded from noxious weed lists to support declining monarch butterfly populations. The state is home to about 12 native species, including common milkweed, swamp milkweed, and butterfly weed. Local nurseries and suppliers provide seeds and starter plants to help residents grow them." This info is right from the state website. We have active monarch butterflies and caterpillars as well as their chrysailis among the road right along our home, as I'm sure it's the same in many areas where Milkweed is lucky enough to be flourishing. We put signs up asking for no spraying nor cutting every year to protect the plants that have been growing. This year we had to stake off an area of new growth and saw these beautiful caterpillars munching away! Today the road commission came along disregarding our protective signs and began cutting! I ran out screaming and flailing my arms to get them to stop all the while they were oblivious to a human even being that close to this machine, (there are at least 3 huge mirrors on the tractor) that was another concern in itself. So the driver listened to my information about us trying to protect the #MichiganMilkweed and the active #Monarch butterflies and caterpillars, said he was just doing his job and they were told to disregard signs on the easement. I told him that the state protects these plants and the butterflies were threatened so if he could just leave this area to give them a chance to survive. He seemed to be understanding but on his return pass he cut the area anyways, with the exception of the ropes and pipes we put in directly around the few plants that had active monarch children. But he compromised the rest of the immediate area which could of had them nesting, resting etc. The grass was not causing a visual impediment for traffic, nor any other kind of nuisance. We usually mow down the sides to keep it trimmed ourselves and The driver even noted he noticed that we had done so. In my opinion this was done maliciously and now we may of lost even more of these beautiful beings due to disrespectful people with lack of any integrity. So I'm tagging #Stclaircountymichigan for being an accomplice to harm by not training their employees better as we have seen so commendably in #MacombCounty and #OaklandCounty ~ We are trying to get these plants to flourish and feed these important #Pollinators ~ Maybe I'll have to lay in the grass next time to stave them off! #Respect #Protect #Integrity #MonarchProtection #USfishandwildlife #Bluewaterconservationdistrict #Bluewatersierraclub #StClairCountyRoadCommision #Columbus #Michigan

You become the sum of your actions, and as you do, what flows from that - your impulses - reflect the actions you've taken.
Choose wisely.

Mistakes and failures are precisely your means of education. They tell you about your own inadequacies.
The #WitchingVeil vibes are strong in the studio this week as the cooler weather here in Michigan is perfect for my candle crafting.... #WitchesBrew #AutumnTide #Handcrafted and #MagicMamifested #Ravenwyck #Awenwisearts #HouseofAwen/|\ #Grateful #BeMosTExcellentToEachOther

To succeed in the game of power, you have to master your emotions. But even if you succeed in gaining such self-control, you can never control the temperamental dispositions of those around you. And this presents a great danger.

When you look at the exceptionally creative work of Masters, you must not ignore the years of practice, the endless routines, the hours of doubt, and the tenacious overcoming of obstacles these people endured. Creative energy is the fruit of such efforts and nothing else.

Do not take so seriously people’s promises or their ardor in wanting to help you.
If they come through, so much the better, but be prepared for the more frequent change of heart.
Rely upon yourself to get things done and you will not be disappointed.

Today, each of us receives our own call.
To serve.
To take a risk.
To challenge the status quo.
Energy vampires or your natural nervous system doing it's job? This is a fabulous video on the psychology and nervous system working as we interact with one another! 🙏🦋🌠

In our culture we tend to equate thinking and intellectual powers with success and achievement.
In many ways, however, it is an emotional quality that separates those who master a field from the many who simply work at a job.
Our levels of desire, patience, persistence, and confidence end up playing a much larger role in success than sheer reasoning powers.
Feeling motivated and energized, we can overcome almost anything.
Feeling bored and restless, our minds shut off and we become increasingly passive.

If you give things more time and energy than they deserve, they're no longer lesser things.

Magic~k is Nature, it is science. It is a part of the Laws of our own existences. We are a part of that Truth and it's beauty. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, The total sum of all energy stays exactly the same, but it continuously shifts forms~ I'm exited to see more modern books and teachings on this very old system and it's part in our communities!
