From The Secret Daily Teachings - Thank You Thursday

"Today is Thank You Thursday. Today and every Thursday is your day to say and feel "Thank you" in as many ways as you can.

Write a list of all the people and events you want to give thanks for.

Return thanks today to those who have done things for you.

As you walk say "Thank you" in your mind with each step you take.

As you drive, make each time you stop your cue to say "Thank you."

At various times in the day, think and feel "Thank you" inside you seven times in a row.

Look for every opportunity to say "Thank you" to other people, and say it with so much meaning that the person looks right at you.

Thank your way through every Thursday, and make "Thank you" your predominant thought, feeling, and words of the day.

"Thank you" - two words, inconceivable potential power, and all they need is you to put the power into them by expressing them.

Thank you!"

You scored as Hedgewitch A Witch who combines many elements of Traditional Witchcraft and Nature Witchcraft, as well as Shamanism and healing, with a more rural tone to their practise. A hedgewitch studies herbalism, nature, shamanism, healing lore, hearthcraft, nature oriented magick and anything else she may find useful. She will study both magickal and medicinal herbalism. Hedgewitches study and practice their rituals and magick anywhere they may, but prefer to in rural or wild areas. They also tend to live in more rural places. She will have a garden if she can, but prefers to gather plants and magickal materials from the wild. She may know a lot about what grows in the wild, as well as about wildlife and livestock. Her tools will be a mix of different useful items, as well as natural items and shamanic tools. Such as walking sticks and staffs, wands, rattles, a medicine bag, pruning shears, cooking pots, besoms, and the tools of herbalism, such as a mortar and pestual. Her shrine/altar can be placed anywhere in her home, garden or yard, and she may have special places set up in her favorite wild places, or a corner of a farm field. Her patrons will be deities of nature, the wild, and agriculture, healing, the harvest and the Underworld.

Could this man be more inspiring? Holy Crap, Batman!!!! I haven't watched the Olympics at all -- yes, call me whatever you want. But last night the DBF wanted to watch Michael Phelps win the Gold -- okay he was out before 930pm. LOL Now I usually change the channel but I was so mesmerized by the women runners that I didn't change it.

And boy am I glad I didn't. I watched the womens singles -- we got the silver, then I watched the womens relay! The silver again, but DANG those Aussies can swim. Then all the hubub .. the reason the DBF wanted to watch .. yeah snoring away! HAHA He missed it! I didn't! Thought I was going to wake him up though with all my cheering and whooping! Yes, in my PJS! It was amazing!

Not only did this young man (cutey pa-tutey I might add) beat Spitz' 7 Gold record after 35 or 36 years *yeah holy crap, batman* but he and his teammates kept America's top spot in the 400 meter relay! WOOT! Records broke, 8 Gold medals won ... and he still shows his mom the love! This boy is just so darn sweet! I now understand the hoopla and why my girls are all googly eyed! LOL

Kudos to all the winners! I am inspired and awed at the same time! and I am so glad I did not change the channel!

Just had to share my Olympics moment! -- even if it was in the middle of the night! LOL

I am so excited. I have finally mastered my Lotion Bar recipe! Woot!

What is a Lotion Bar, you ask?

A lotion bar is like chap stick for your skin. ;) Because it is made with beeswax, it stays hard. When you rub it on your skin, the warmth of your body melts the bar -- kind of like a bar of soap. But you don't wash it off!

All the ingredients I use are organic -- which I am very happy about. My bars are not scented with any fragrances, just all natural & organic ingredients.









Sample Size Bars: $3.00 ea or 2 for $5







So Please hop on over to Gypsy Rose Treasures on Aug 4th for your own Lotion Bar!
BB & Namaste!
Gypsy Rose

I am a Wytche..
I see beauty in all life..
I hear the whispers of the trees ~
I feel the gentle breeze kiss my face...
The warmth from the sun fills me with energy and passion~
The soft spring rain washes over me and I am renewed.
The wisdom of those before comes to me in my dreams.
The strength and power of Mother Earth grounds me..
and keeps me balanced.

I am a Wytche..
I have pledged myself in my entirety to Them..
For it is from Them all life comes.. to Them all life returns...
And without Them ~ I cease to be.

I am a Wytche..
The magick stirring within me.. is a gift from Them.
I have come to see myself... as They see me...
I have come to know myself... as They know me ~
Love myself as They love me.
I stand with Them.. in my truth.

I am a Wytche..
My truth.. is not the same as your truth ~
Just as your truth.. is not the same as mine...
I do not question or judge your truth.. for we are equal in Their eyes.
All parts of One.

I am a Wytche...
I follow my path.. my map of life with dignity.. with resolve ~
My map.. is not the same as your map~
Yet perhaps you too are a Wytche..
Our maps are unique unto us... albeit our destination the same.
You may walk beside me ... should you choose ~
Let us learn each from the other as we walk.

I am a Wytche...
Maiden.. Mother.. Crone ~
I shall share my life knowledge freely ... shine my light..
So that those who have lost their way.. may see their map once again.
I do not seek to change you.. but to help you..
find you.

So during the month of May, my DBF and I were put into a predicament that forced us to move. Yes our "landlord" told us he sold the house, and we had until the end of the month to find a new home! What fun!?!?!? In the midst of one chaotic matter was born more chaos. Woot! However, we did manage to find a new home -- much better than where we lived. Albeit a little more rent but the entire house is up to code, doesnt have painted shut windows, wood shingled roof nor does it have asbestos (sp?) siding. Yea!!! It's a nice splitlevel single family house. And the best part is that everyone, including the cats, feel right at home! Like this house was meant for us!

With this move, it has been difficult to build up stock at GRT. However I have finally gotten the Candle Shoppe stocked with 38 different scents for the Travel Tins, Votives and Jelly Jar Candles. Also you can purchase GRT Gift Certificates! These make great gifts for Everyone on your list who loves candles -- especially Soy Candles that are Eco-Friendly and help contribute to "Going Green"!

What color is your soul painted? Purple Your soul is painted the color purple, which embodies the characteristics of sensuality, spirituality, creativity, wealth, royalty, nobility, mystery, enlightenment, arrogance, gaudiness, mourning, confusion, pride, delicacy, power, meditation, religion, and ambition. Purple falls under the element of Earth, and was once a European symbol of royalty; today it symbolizes the divine. Click Here to Take This Quiz

I guess the first question would be -- WHAT is a muse? According to dictionary.com a muse is a spiritual guide or an source of inspiration. Of course the obvious are the nine daughters of Mnemosyne and Zeus, each of whom presided over a different art or science in Greek Mythology. So the second question is -- WHO is a muse? Who inspires you? Who guides you? Well, for me, that would be my family and friends. So that makes just about everyone you know a muse. So who are the most important muses in our lives? Well I am going to have to say, for me, right now, it would be all those that are supporting me and encouraging me to keep GRT going.

Is there a reason for this post? Well of course there is! LOL

Every time I have an inspirational idea or tidbit of information I can pass on, It will be under -- The Muse Is In blog page!

I love candle making, sewing, crocheting, scrapbooking, digi scrap booking, reading, writing, dreaming, believing, inspiring and everything in between. So when I come across a cool quote, link, article, blog, website and everything in between, I promise that you will see it here in my Blog! I have so many hobbies, interests, crafty thoughts, muses, etc that it is only building up in my head and I need an outlet for it all! So Gypsy Magick Blog is not just about Gypsy Rose Treasures and all its specials, deals and new products! But you will find all kinds of goodies, treasures and other great stuff here, too!

With that all said, my first "Muse Is In" blurb is about a wonderful site I came across that I was sent to from a group list.

Do you have your own business? How about your own website? Have trouble with marketing? Or want to know where to start with a newsletter, banner ads, or joint ventures? And for those who want to learn more about Hyena carts -- The Muses Guide is the perfect place to go.

This has been a long time coming for the blog. Gypsy Magick is my blog home where I can share all kinds of things about Gypsy Rose Treasures. GRT is my online web presence that has been going through so many ups and downs in the past year. I have been upgrading, revamping and redoing so many things and GRT is finally nearing its time for the unveiling.

May 22nd is a special day for me and my family. My youngest son was born -- he's going to be 13. They grow up so fast! One of our favorite movie characters is coming out with a 4th movie to the Indiana Jones "Trilogy" -- Haha I suppose it has to be a ... Quadrology?? So we are very excited! So why not turn it into our own trilogy! It is the perfect day to Reopen GRT!

Gypsy Magick is a work in progress -- you can subscribe to the Blog to get all the updates, new posts and such. I will be posting all kinds of goodies, including special sales and coupon codes that you won't find anywhere else; not even on the main GRT website or shoppe main page. We will be posting upcoming events that we are part of, sponsoring, or just want to promote! You will get raves, rants, kudos, and everything in between with Gypsy Magick! And maybe even some Freebies.

I hope you enjoy your stay! And Remember -- Gypsy Magick is a Place to find Treasures of ALL Kinds! Just as Gypsy Rose Treasures is!

Namaste! Bright Blessings!
