Changed up my workout, adding back in my afternoon workouts. I am also making
sure I do my morning devotionals. Part of that is drawing a rune each morning as
a guide for the coming day. On Mondays, I will be doing a 3-rune draw to see
what is to come in the upcoming week. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Travel, knowledge and honor. I find these 3 very interesting
as I begin a new path, well actually I begin walking an old path. Looking at
these three I think that the gods and runes are all for me to make this journey
work. The next 100 days should be very interesting. I hope I can accomplish
everything I plan to do over the next 100 days. </span></span><br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Summerland 2015 and the week after.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The last 2 weeks have been
wonderful. I attended my first summerland festival located in southern Ohio.
This is an ADF festival, and as I joined ADF earlier this year I decided to
attend. Well, not just decided, my friend Amy was being ordained and I would
not have missed that for the world. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As out grove was running the
kitchen, I had decided to work in the kitchen as much as needed, and put in
quite a few hours. But I was able to attend a few workshops and learned a few
new things that is always a good thing. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I also took my Zentangle kit with
me, and ended up giving a couple impromptu classes. As I was teaching friends,
it was not planned, and they were not full classes, I did not charge them at
all. It was nice to teach it again. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Interesting to note, though I
love Zentangle, and I plan on doing more, I have recently been slacking. The
one place it has been used though is for offerings/sacrifices. There have been
a number of rituals where I will create a tile for the purpose of offering it
to the fire at ritual. While at summer
land I created 3 tiles as offering in the future to various Gods I associate
with.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The weekend after summerland was
also great, we had a S’more party and it went well. I made homemade
marshmallow, and the strawberry ones were amazing. We had lots of different
toppings, and cookies to put them on. Hot dogs were wonderful over the fire,
and it was a great fire. Was wonderful to see friends I have not seen in a
while, all in all a great couple weekends in a row.</span></span><o:p></o:p></div>

I always put it off, when I should know that I need them for my body to get over the rash, the sooner I get them the quicker I heal. This post however is about accomplishments. I am super happy to say I have done my 90th daily rune draw. I still am leading them, and will add quizzing myself on their meaning soon, but 90 draws makes me happy. It is interesting to note how often the draw lines up with what happens during the day, and it matters not if I draw morning, noon or night. </span></span>Royhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11739272959722874465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-864764335511029928.post-21321421834566908982015-07-29T11:45:00.001-07:002015-07-29T11:51:41.185-07:00This is on the July rune draw page, but I think it should be here also.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Day
73:</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> Wednesday
July 29<sup>th</sup>, (Rune Drawn: Laguz) : So I drew this rune, and was
thinking about it. It can mean success in an upcoming trip, with the possibility
of loss. I am planning a trip to Indianapolis this weekend to attend another Lughnassadh<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>ritual with the protogrove that is there.
So I thought it might mean the trip would be good and I would not be winning the
games, though I am not sure that is the definition of loss in the definition of
the rune. Sometimes I am a silly person, and need to take things at their face
value. You see the core meaning of Laguz is water. Well when I ran out today to
grab some lunch, it was sprinkling…. So I grabbed an umbrella. By the time I reached
the end of the first block it was raining hard. Once I grabbed food and headed back
to work it was pouring, and raining sideways. When I got to work, I was able to
wring at least a half cup or water out of each sock. The umbrella protected my
head, body, and one arm, but the rest was soaked. So my lesson for the kindred
today is, look deeper for the meaning of the runes, but do not forget what each
one represents.</span><o:p></o:p><br />

Well this is going up a few days later than I planned, do to
being tired, then burning myself. I wanted write something up on Wellspring
2015 as this was my first Major Druid event. All in all the weekend was amazing;
the weather aside from Friday night was wonderful camping weather. Friday
night it was bitter cold, but we did have enough equipment to keep up warm.
Something I learned though is if it is too cold my breath will condense before
leaving my CPAP mask which is no fun. The remaining nights were not bad (Saturday)
and perfect (Sunday.) The daytime weather was also great, even warm enough that
I would have used the pool if it was open.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There were two things from the weekend that really made it
stand out. One was the warrior games, and the people of the warrior’s guild.
The second was the main ritual. Each of these events spoke to me in very profound
ways, and in very different ways. I will address each of them, and the only
fair way is to do so in the order I attended them. I am not sure if I could say
which my favorite was, so doing them in order is the way to go.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The warrior games: Saturday morning…</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The games took place Saturday morning, and I really wish I
had decided to play in them before that morning. This would have allowed me
more than a few moments between matches to work on my bardic piece. It would
have allowed me to practice on Friday, and I would have met some of the guild a
night earlier. This was a truly amazing group of people. This event was a real
home coming. By the end of the event I
knew I would be bringing these games home with me, and coming up with a way to
do them with my grove. I have already bought rock for the stone throw and stone
and peg. I am planning out purchases, and also am redesigning my new workout
schedule to include games as part of the work outs. I will soon be joining the
guild, and look forward to seeing where this is going. I have heard it said
that no one is born a warrior, but I am not so sure. I knew I was one from a
young age, and with lead to me joining the Army as soon as I was allowed. Once
I left the Army, I thought I had left that part of my life behind, yet now I am
not sure, I believe I have a place within the guild of Warriors in ADF.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>The main ritual: Sunday night...</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Saturday night around dinner time I developed a horrible
headache, and headed for bed very early. I drugged myself pretty well, to deal
with both headache and my allergies, and took a nap, or so I though. I slept
all night and I slept hard. When I woke on Sunday, I was still pretty out of
it, and stayed that way most of the day. Amy and I went out for food, off site
for dinner, and I had hoped that it would help and it did not. I was thinking
of skipping the ritual, but with Amy having a part, and with her talking about
how amazing they are, I decided to attend. Jen was a saint and gave me a couple
peppermints that helped soothe my stomach. So going into the ritual I felt like
someone had run me over. By the end, I was in amazing shape. I may write up the
ritual, as a latter post but honestly I was so invested in experiencing it that
I am not sure just how much I remember. I do know that when we invited all of the
shining ones whom we have worked with into the circle, that Sigyn was there,
and that she gave me more energy. And or reduced my fatigue. I remember the
point at which I felt her hand on my brow, and the starting to feel better
right after, and continuing to feel better as the night went on. Watching the clergy
work was something to behold. When I was a child, well late teen, I thought
about going into the Christian clergy. Obviously that did not happen. However, I
have been giving thoughts to what I will do once I finish my dedicant path, and
the clergy may be something I pursue. <o:p></o:p></div>

I also need to mention the Artisan guild contest. I had
entered 3 Items, and though I did not win, it was great fun entering. The
people I lost to I am more than will to admit were better than me. ADF has some
truly amazing artists.<o:p></o:p></div>

Well as I had mentioned before I have finished my set of
handmade runes. I was goig to look around online for a nice sack to keep them
in, but Amy was having none of that. She told me that she would make a bag for
me or help me make a bag. We pulled out the tub of fabric she has, and she
allowed me to choose whatever I wanted. I looked at almost everything she had,
and kept being drawn to a beautiful hand dyed fabric. We pulled it out and Amy
asked what size bad I wanted. I showed her the approximate size I wanted it,
and then things were put on hold for a bit. Well Tuesday, while I was working
on a cake for a grove mates birthday, Amy was nice enough to make the bag for
me. She did an amazing job, used French seams an all. Here is a photo of the sack,
I don’t think I could have bought a better bag for my runes.<o:p></o:p></div>

It has taken me years but I have finally gotten my 1<sup>st</sup>
tattoo. This may not seem like a major accomplishment, but for years I had
resigned myself to never having one. Over the years I have attempted other
tattoos, but major issues kept coming up. My 1<sup>st</sup> attempt happened
when I was in the Service, and a friend and I were going to drive to Pittsburgh,
to a famous artist to be tattooed,(I don’t remember what I was planning.) When
we pulled out of his driveway he rear ended another car, and though we were not
going fast, the accident sheared off him engine mounts and pretty much totaled
his car. The second tattoo, I had another appointment, I had chosen the tattoo,
and all was set, and then my marriage fell apart. My ex-wife and I had made our
appointments the same day, and though she was able to make it to her
appointment, I was reeling from the divorce and did not make it. The Third
attempt was also thwarted by a car accident, I had found a place here in Lansing,
and the day of my appointment my mother was in a car accident and totaled my parent’s
car, and broke her arm. Needless to say I was at the hospital instead of
getting tattooed that night. I took this as a sign that I was not to get
tattoos.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That feeling lasted until a few years ago. When I felt
pilled to get a tattoo, I began looking and for a while I thought I wanted a
greenman tattoo, but that did not feel right. As time went on I was leaning
more and more towards a tree, the tree. I wanted the worldtree represented and
I started looking at various images. It was not until I was in a tattoo studio
looking around on the internet while my friend was tattooed that I found
something close. I showed the photo to
the tattoo artist, said I want something like this, with x changes, and in
grey-scale, and he said sure. The tattoo was actually just drawn on in red sharpie,
then free hand tattooed, and he could not have done a better job. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
So here is the tattoo……<o:p></o:p></div>

After a bit of hard work, though not as much as it could
have been, my handmade set of Elder Futhark runes are done. I currently have 2
sets that I have bought, a gemstone set that I associate with the Shining Ones,
a set made of Buffalo bone that I use for work with the ancestors. I decided to
make a set that I would associate with the nature spirits, and in this I think I
may have failed. (More on that later*.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These runes are mostly hand made by me, the only place I had
machine assistance with in the cutting of the wooden disks from the chosen
branch. The branch that was chosen was a
dried limb from a fallen cedar tree. that fell in a thunderstorm. The cedar was
chosen as the grove I belong to is Cedarsong, the fact that it fell during a
storm, ties it in closely to Perkūnas one of the Baltic gods of the grove. The disks were cut from the same branch that I
use to represent the Tree on my alter. Once the disks were cut, I took them to
the Beltane 2015 fire watch, and sanded them throughout the night, doing my
best to invest as much positive energy into the wood as I could. I then burned the
runes into the disks, and polished them with a mixture of oils and beeswax
imbued with cedar wood essential oil. I
am very pleased with the final product. I have enough blanks to make 2 more
sets of rune stones from this branch, and I do plan to make them. I just need
to determine what the will be used for. Most likely as gifts of auction items.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
I will begin to use these runes for my <a href="http://mindful-creations.blogspot.com/p/daily-rune-drawing.html">daily rune drawing</a>.</div>

* Here is the more on that latter, though I was planning on
this being my nature spirit set of runes, I do not think that this is the case.
(I will look for a set to use with the nature spirits.) With the work that went
into this set, the bulk of this work being done during a fire watch, the energy
I poured into them, and the strong tie the have to Perkūnas, I think this set
is going to me my general use set, and the set that get used most often. I will
get a nature set, and that one and the other2 will be used when I really need
to focus on one set of the kindred. <o:p></o:p></div>

The fire that was lit for the Beltane ritual, (and that I helped watch all Saturday Night) this is right
at dusk, just after my senior druid lit the fire and blessed the fire. For a good
portion of the night I sat here and chatted with friends old and new, and
sanded the disks for the runes. The energy around the fire was perfect for
crafting, and I believe the work that went into the runes that night helped imbue
them with clean positive energy.</div>

I have for a while been gathering item to create an altar in
my bedroom. I do plan on making an outside alter at some point also, but this
was really the first step. I have a few more Items I am working on, something I want to change, but the altar is now in a usable state. As I have recently become a member of the ADF,
this is the altar I will use for anything ADF relater I will do at home. The items
I have located and their importance are as follows:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiVcEAfVAeU5tx118STrq1n-QNubXit3wrImhRK6noo-ZGkb4SfUCe5OXqpYhGIV7Ou0oiHt2h68qjLvqlff6lL18kWTAu4LGN3vC07dyDvtC10Ycc9qGDvkgqMFz9MMk4oSQrQ1PZNg_q/s1600/Alter+-+small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiVcEAfVAeU5tx118STrq1n-QNubXit3wrImhRK6noo-ZGkb4SfUCe5OXqpYhGIV7Ou0oiHt2h68qjLvqlff6lL18kWTAu4LGN3vC07dyDvtC10Ycc9qGDvkgqMFz9MMk4oSQrQ1PZNg_q/s1600/Alter+-+small.jpg" height="233" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The Drum</b> (that hangs
above) is my drum; I sometimes use for Journey work, and drum circles I go to.
It is decorated using Zentangle, and it means a lot to me as a doorway to the
other side, and a doorway between my spiritual side and my artistic side.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The branch,</b> (Left
rear)Represents the Tree, this branch is from a cedar tree from our yard that
was blown over in a storm. This branch has many meanings: It is from a cedar tree, and I belong to the
Cedarsong ADF grove. It was from a storm damaged tree, the grove is strongly associated
with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perk%C5%ABnas">Perkūnas</a> the Baltic
god of the storms. The tree that fell, is one that I loved sense my friends
moved into this house, and I was saddened when it fell. This is also the end of
the branch, that I will be using to make a wood burned set of runes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The Bowl,</b> (Left
Front) This is a bowl I found secondhand that called to me. It represents the
bowl Sigyn uses to catch the poison set to drip on Loki. I also use it to hold
my set of Amethyst runes, the stones I will use when seeking advice from the
shining ones.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The Basket</b> (Next
to the tree), this basket (I am looking for a better container), holds a variety
of stones, ones I collect from important places, and some I have received from
my brother after his death and from my ex-wife, there is also a sharks tooth
given my by the boy child I live with. Each stone here is either tied to a
place or person that is important to me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The Lizard</b>,
(right foreground), I have always had a strong tie to the lizard, and it was
one of my first spirit guides. This is a stuffed lizard that looks quite a bit
like Vincent my lizard spirit guide.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The Fire,</b>
(Center), this is the representative of the fire in ADF, it is a red broken
glass candle-holder, and another secondhand find.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The Leaf</b> (next to
the fire), this is a leaf my ex-wife used to own, and left here in Lansing,
when she moved following her love of the land. It is a stick incense holder,
and I will use it when I burn any incense as Martha is partially responsible
for me really starting to work out my spiritual path.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The Well</b> (Right
Rear), this is yet another second hand finds, I was looking for something to
represent the well, and this romanesque pot work perfectly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The Necklace</b> (In front
of the leaf), this is my basic Cedarsong Grove necklace. I am making one that
is more representative of the grove and my beliefs, but I am still waiting on
supplies.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The Elephant &
the Mug</b>, (Right Front), these represent recently passed ancestors (well
really all my ancestors), the elephant is a paperweight I bought my mother from
a garage-sale when I was five years old, that started her amazing elephant
collection. The coffee mug belonged to my brother Mike, and I received it when
he passed. I use the Mug to hold my runes made of buffalo bone, that are used
when seeking advice from the ancestors.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The Alter cloth,</b>
This cloth was chosen to represent Enki, the god who would not leave me alone,
and began my path from an Animist to a follower of a small number of gods, it
is the foundation of the alter as he is the water below, and one of the reasons
I ended up in the ADF (even if he is from a non-ADF culture)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
What is to come: as add the remaining items to my altar, I
will post about each item on its own.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 18pt;">Wednesday April 29<sup>th</sup>:<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Journey Work: Trying to decide how much of my spiritual work I
should share online…<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><b>Background:</b> When it
comes to my spiritual work, and beliefs I tend to play my cards close to my
chest, or else I used to. I have posted a little bit about it here, and I had a
feeling that I should make this a regular thing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I undertook this journey
looking for advice in regards to sharing, more about my spiritual side, and I
found it in an interesting way. I see a strong tie in with my creativity and art
with my spiritual side, so the being I spoke with is logical, thought it was
not someone I ever expected. I started out with plans to go to the upper world;
this is where I tend to go for spiritual/creative advice. The journey there was
uneventful, and I began to wander around. The intention of this journey was very
vague, and I was not sure what I was looking for, but soon found my answer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">As I wandered, I came across
a stream that was filled with vibrant colors, so I decided follow it up stream.
After a short trip, I found an older man pouring various cans of dye into the stream.
I stood there looking at him for a bit before I recognized him; the man in the stream
was Andy Warhol. About the time I recognized him, as acknowledged me, and
nodded his head toward a large rock. We
headed over there and sat and chatted for a while. I remember asking him about
being in the upper world (normally I encounter spirits in the underworld,) and
he responded yeah, I was there for a while, but it is so much more colorful
here. I joked that was only because he was pouring colors into the water. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I chatted with him about
art, and spirituality, looking for a bit of advice on how much I should share. He mentioned that he wished he had been more
open about his beliefs, and that he wished he had not been afraid of being
recognized in church, but that was in the past. His advice was each person is ultimately
responsible for their own decisions, and he would not tell me what to do, but
left me with the feeling that sharing my beliefs and thoughts was the correct
path, so expect more journey logs here in the future… <o:p></o:p></span></div>

If you have not noticed the name of the blog has changed.
There will be other changes coming. Though I Love Zentangle, it will now only
be a portion of this blog. I am planning on starting up the challenge again,
but in a new format, most likely once or twice a month, and it will not be
monotangle. I will have the details hashed out soon, and will post them here.
Sorry for the prolonged absence, but I had to see which direction my life was
headed.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Another week and I am still sick. I have a cough that will
not go away, and I have started to on occasion cough up blood. I have been back
to the doctor, and we took chest x-rays yesterday; hopefully I’ll have an
answer soon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sadly as the coughing takes a lot out of me I have done very
little tangling this week, I am hoping to have a new adventure for you next
week. Sorry for the continued delay.<o:p></o:p> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hello to all my friends out there. I know people have asked
when I’ll be back and I have been trying, honestly I have. The trouble is for
me to be creative I have to be happy, and sadly I have been running low on happiness.
To compound the issue, I got into Zentangle® due to my now ex-wife, so there is
some heartache there. It is not enough to keep me away from Zentangle, but has
slowed me down. I have been looking at my adventures and I have decided the new
path they will take. I will be posting the 1<sup>st</sup> new one on January 3<sup>rd</sup>
of 2014, and then every Friday thereafter. I hope you all enjoy the new
direction, and look forward to tangling with all of you throughout 2014.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Well this is "MY" year for me that’s for sure….</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I have made it back from <a href="http://www.gencon.com/">Gen-Con</a>, but the week is not going
well. 1<sup>st</sup> I picked up a pretty nasty sinus infection while I was
there. 2<sup>nd</sup> when I got home my lap-top was dead. The good news is I
have it under warranty, but I have to send it in to be fixed. So I am without a
computer for 7-12 days, while it is shipped and fixed. So as I cannot upload
photos to my system or edit them the adventure is on fold for 2 weeks while I
wait on my system to be fixed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Look for a new post come September 7<sup>th</sup> 2013, I
may make a few changes to the format of the site & adventure, but I will be
back. Sorry about the troubles this year, it has sure been one heck of a year
for me!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Again this will be a short post, because it is an early
post, and because I am in the middle of prepping to go to Gen-Con. As I plan on
lots of fun at Gen-con I decided on Cockles n mussels as the tangle to use.
This is a tangle by Margaret Bremner, and is a new one for me. She did an amazing
job taking a previous tangle and making it her own. Have a great weekend with
Zentangle ®<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">First let me start off by saying I am sorry I have been
away, but things seem to just keep getting better. As anyone who has been
following me this year knows 2013 has not been my best year. Let us see since I
decided I was going to start working out anything and everything that could go
wrong has. A couple weeks ago I did sprain my shoulder, last week I had a doctors
appointment and by then my arm was mostly better, but the next day the pain was
back with a vengeance. I still have limited use of the arm, and I’ll see the doctor
again next week. Also my sty is starting to make another appearance On top of all the medical issues, my wife and I have decided
to separate. Though we are still and will remain friends, we are both walking
different paths. We have decided that we make better friends than spouses, and we
will each travel our own path. Though this is for the best, it is still a
difficult time for me. Packing and moving, and adjusting to a new schedule has
prevented me from updating the site. I ask that anyone here who is also on
Facebook not mention it there as I am not sure whom Martha has shared this
with. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thank you for your understanding and I look forward to
seeing you here next week for a new adventure.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well unless you have been living under a rock the last week,
you probable already know that during the last week two interesting natural phenomena
happened. The first was that we have truly moved into summer here in the northern
hemisphere, with last Friday June 21<sup>st</sup> being our Summer Solstice.
The second being the over June 22<sup>nd</sup> & 23<sup>rd</sup> we got to
see a “Super Moon” This means that the Moon was at perigee — or at its closest
point in its orbit to Earth, and was 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other
full Moons of 2013. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well with all of the Talk about the “Super Moon,” I figured
it was time to make the 1<sup>st</sup> Tangle taught in many Zentangle®
classes, the focus of this weeks Adventure. The tangle is Crescent moon, a
tangle I had been holding back for a special occasion, and I guess this week is
it.</span></div>

Adventure. I will be creating a Step-out for the Tangle, used in the adventure.

will be listed there with a Link to the Step out for the Tangle from that

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Another week has passed, and that means it is time for another
Adventure in Monotangles. Over the last week I have been thinking about my CZT training
class, and the great time I had, and the great people I met there. This helped me decide on the tangle for this
week. While at the class we spent a
decent amount of time on Betweed, a tangle I had not done before my CZT class.
I had trouble with it for a while, but now I really enjoy it. I know there are
many who have a love/hate relationship with Betweed, but that is part of what this adventure is all
about. Remember Zentangle® should not
cause stress, just watch the video, relax, breath and let betweed flow from
your pen. Once you get it, it really is simple, and very relaxing.</span></div>

Which is a good thing as that makes it time for another Adventure. This week I decided to choose a pattern that has always been one of my favorites. When I say always, I guess i mean since I learned Zentangle®, as it was one of the tangles I learned in my very 1st class.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Tangle is none other than Hollibaugh.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you need directions: <a href="http://tanglepatterns.com/2010/05/how-to-draw-hollibaugh.html">Here</a> is a link to it's page on Tangle Patterns.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And here are the tiles I did - see i did two =D.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A few updates on me and the sight, Though the pain is gone from the Shingles, I am still having good and bad days. I have never experienced something that makes me this lethargic before. I am at least making through each day, and I have started Zentangling again. I have also started working on some updates to the web site...They will go up in the next few weeks. I have began work on the past slide shows also. They will be up soon. Thanks for putting up with me over the last few months, I hope I am getting all my injuries/illnesses out of the way for the next couple years =D.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Have a wonderful week and Zentangle On!</span><br />
