If You Believe - What Would/Could Be Possible

Morning friends!  Today we are celebrating one of my favorite movies, "Practical Magic".  It's a story of two sisters who share a rare bond.  Born and raised in the neighborhood 'Witch House' needless to say they were the odd ones of the community.  Yet through their lives they learn life's lessons as most of us do by taking risks and learning from our experiences. 



It gives a lesson of friendship and/or sisterhood that few find.  A closeness that is rare these days when it seems that everyone is worried about what others may think if they knew the real person behind the mask.  Which is funny because we all wear them. 



I love however, in the end a number of women come together to help those, who before they were skeptical of.  They lay aside their predjudices and beliefs for a moment to help because one is in need.  I like to think that such feats are not just something that happens in movies.  



I also love the innocence of Sally, who as a young girl is afraid to suffer the pains and losses of love.  Because of this fear she creates a Love Spell asking for one to be sent her way that is so unique that he could not possibly ever exist.

 Amas Veritas - True Love Spell
He will hear my call a mile away
He will whistle my favorite song
He can ride a pony backwards
He can flip pancakes in the air
He will be marvelously kind
His favorite shape will be a star
He will have one green eye and one blue

Ah but love is love and it will occur when and where it wants.  We do not have the power to attempt to summon it away.  And Sally's unique love interest very well does exist.

I invite you to take a journey today through the various other blogs who are also celebrating Practical Magic; each in their own unique manner.

Early Sunday Mornings - Autumn in the Air

Fall  is most definitely in the air.  Finally mornings where I can actually enjoy my morning coffee once more on the back porch as the sun comes over the  horizon.  Early morning temperatures in the 50's with just that touch of coldness that the hot coffee seems to divert so nicely.  I love it.  I keep telling everyone that fall is going to be early this year and they look at me as if I am crazy.

Yet I am holding to my prediction.  I see far too many signs to not think so.  The birds are gathering much sooner than usual as well as the neighborhood squirrels.  Even the trees seem to be showing me signs that the heat of summer is taking an early exit.  I am eager for the cooler times... the slower times... the times that I can putter around in my kitchen cooking all sorts of goodies and what not.  I love the smells of a busy kitchen.  You all know what I am talking about... It brings back memories of grandma houses, family gatherings and so on.  It seems that a busy kitchen can always make one smile.

Believe it or not I am already busily working on my Christmas/Yule gifts and it looks to be another year where I will be done early with plenty of time to relax and enjoy the season properly... in the kitchen of course.  I love when that happens as it gives one the chance to really enjoy the festive time as it should be enjoyed; without stress and in a relaxed manner. 

Yet even before Yule there is Halloween and Thanksgiving.  Another good excuse to be in the kitchen or busy working around the house.  I am of course looking forward to Mrs. B's 30 days of Halloween as I am sure many others of you are.  There is the Practical Magic Party on September 25th and the all the other goodies that come up between now and then.  This always seems to be an active time in blog land or at least with all the ones that I seem to be connected with.  So much going on.. so many great ideas to be found... and so many wonderful things to just be a part of.

And to think it is all just beginning.... enjoy

PS:  Don't forget about the wonderful giveaways over at Ewitch - Winners will be chosen this next week.
