You know being a leader isn’t just about being chosen by your constituents and sitting behind the desk collecting paycheck and “doing nothing”. You are being chosen to do the job you are supposed to and that means public service, knowing the ins and out of what your people need, want desire from you. That means being aware and in the mix with them. When I was leading a non profit chapter in San Diego I had my 40 hour job that was demanding but because I was chosen to lead the non profit organization chapter in my area it was my responsibility to put my time and energy into it. No I wasn’t getting paid I was a volunteer but I put in an extra 40 hours along with my regular 40 hours to revamp and make it as it is supposed to be for the people. And when one puts in the time and energy and effort into “service” the result shows by itself. My chapter not only made me and my team members win the awards for our work and gratitude but brought it up to 400% success rate from every other chapter. ( ***No not bragging but making a point here to what it took me to get there) And in the beginning as a leader I had to start the effort and work even if my team wasn’t showing up. All my focus was to serve, on my service and responsibilities as the leader no matter whether they want to show up for their position or not. But by me taking action to be responsible they all eventually showed up and started taking responsibility. We walk and talk by walking by example is our way, souls way in my personal and professional life as one. They are not separate. It’s not about how much you get paid, it’s about service. My employers didn’t pay me that much but that didn’t stop me from being who I am and going above and beyond my call of duty because that is service for me. To serve is first and I was compensated by them in many different ways and I am eternally grateful to my service for taking care of me. But that happened because I chose to serve. That was how I was born to be, grown up to be, is how my soul mother and father taught me to be. Money is not the only way one gets compensated. Be open and choose to serve and watch the Magick. I have walked by example in every aspect of my life I have learned, grown I came out of it with the flying magickal colors. Faced my own fears along the way and let go of that which failed to serve the balance between order and chaos. What about you? Are you walking your talk? I am and was always born to serve that’s my role.

Beltane is a festival of fire, passion, and fertility, marking the peak of spring and the promise of summer. Celebrated on May 1st, it is a time when the veil between worlds grows thin, and nature bursts into full bloom. The energy of Beltane is vibrant, wild, and deeply transformative, inviting us to embrace joy, creativity, and connection.
Traditionally, bonfires are lit to honor the sun’s growing strength, and people dance, revel, and welcome abundance into their lives. It’s a time to honor love—both romantic and spiritual—and to manifest desires with bold intention. Whether through ritual, fire magic, or simply immersing yourself in nature’s beauty, Beltane is a celebration of life at its most dynamic and enchanting.
How will you be embracing the magic of Beltane this year? 🌿
“Earth Day” (which btw should be everyday every moment of our lives the knowing that earth is our source and resource, our mother who because of her you exist) we must recognize that when we stand and fight for the greater good of the planet and its environment is when our existence matters, our being alive matters. It gives us hope, passion, courage to wake up and live the fight. And this fight may look small or big does not matter. You get the courage, the passion to accomplish whatever it is that you want to, need to in your own situations. But there has to be a bigger purpose, a bigger drive to drive your life. And that is the purpose of the soul, the purpose of the souls purpose that is the planet we are on. Why do you think people fumble and stumble of the absence of courage, passion, dreams? Because you have given your focus, your power to “human beings that to them destruction matters, taking away rights and spreading fear and dismay matters” planet and environment does not matter what matters to them is money, physical appearance, status, labels etc. they want nothing to do with the planet and the environment. And so if you want to achieve your goals, want courage, want passion, that drive, to wake up every morning look to the planet, it’s beauty and the beast, it’s gorgeous plants and animals that you eat, play with, build your business, health and wealth on. Wake up to planet earth and it’s Magick within and around you. Let the planet and its strength and beauty drive you in the morning to wake up one another day in this paradise to just be you to live in this paradise and let’s really make this our paradise and if anyone threatens your paradise wouldn’t you stand for that? Wouldn’t you fight for that? Happy Earths Day and May this day of the earth be celebrated everyday every moment of our lives till the last breadth we take until the earth has returned to its true glory and beauty it is to how it was born to be. Let’s cradle and be one with our planet. Bring your focus to earth and it’s beauty everyday and watch the Magick.
To the north within me, may I express the wisdom, insight and magick of my true self.
To the west within me, may I be reborn and renewed with clear mind and inner truth of my soul with every season.
To the south within me, may I hear the counsel of my true heart and soul.
To the east within me, may I be blessed with inner illumination and restored with my true energy and power of my soul within me.
To all above that is within me, may I be guided by the divinity of my soul, the divinity of mother earth, the divinity of the divine one.
To all below that is within me, may I discover the blessings of my shadow.
To the soul within me, may I find my way home to you within you.

Ostara/Spring Equinox is a time of balance, renewal, and new beginnings. It’s celebrated as a turning point where day and night are equal, marking the return of longer days and vibrant energy.
Here are some magical and spiritual practices associated with Ostara:
1. Decorating an Altar
Create a space with symbols of spring, like eggs (fertility and new life), seeds, flowers (like daffodils or tulips), or pastel colors.
Incorporate representations of balance—like paired candles or scales—to honor the equinox.
2. Planting Seeds
Whether literal (gardening) or metaphorical (setting intentions), planting seeds represents growth and potential. Focus on goals or dreams you’d like to nurture.
3. Egg Magic
Decorate eggs with symbols or intentions, then display them, bury them in the earth, or add them to your altar.
Eggs are potent symbols of fertility and creation, central to many Ostara traditions.
4. Nature Walks
Spend time in nature to connect with the earth’s rebirth. Look for signs of spring, such as buds on trees, sprouting grass, or returning animals.
5. Meditation and Reflection
Take time to meditate on balance in your life. The equinox is a perfect reminder to assess where things need harmony or adjustment.
6. Seasonal Feasting
Prepare a meal with seasonal foods like greens, honey, eggs, or baked goods. This celebrates the abundance of nature as the earth awakens.
7. Candle Rituals
Light candles to honor the return of the sun’s strength. You might also write down intentions and focus on them as you watch the flame.
Ostara is a vibrant celebration of life and growth. If any of these practices resonate with you, I’d love to hear how you’ll incorporate them. If you have your own traditions, feel free to share!
May the divine light and divine love of the balance between order and chaos and the balance between divine masculine and divine feminine that serve the greater good of the planet, the environment brings about the outcome that the soul desires now and forever in every interaction, every interference, every hand that moves, every delay, every action, every choice, every word, every situation, circumstances, issues and conditions in every time and place anywhere and anywhen. Blessed Be. Happy Holidays!!!
May there always be gratitude within and around you every moment with every beat of your heart and with every breadth you take each day everyday in every word you speak, in every choice and action you take. May gratitude be your guide in every aspect of your world now and forever. And may the turkey bless your health, wealth and prosperity in your life. Nisha Designs.
I am incredibly enthusiastic about handmade items and products. Many of them are unique, one of a kind, and offer an opportunity to add something unique and special to one’s home decor. They also make great gifts. When choosing a handmade gift, you are unlikely to find someone else has chosen the same item for the recipient. They are great gift ideas for birthdays, graduations, weddings, and Christmas gifts. When browsing Amazon, I discovered an entire section dedicated to handmade items. They have what they call a Movers & Shakers list. Amazon’s Movers & Shakers list in Handmade Products is a dynamic and frequently updated compilation that showcases the most significant gainers in sales rank over the past 24 hours. This list provides a snapshot of what’s trending and new in handmade items. It is beneficial when looking for gift ideas. It covers various handcrafted items, from candles and lotions to jewelry, art, dishes, and yard and garden decorations. I will share the Movers & Shakers page link because that is an excellent place to search for unique handmade items. Check it regularly because it is updated frequently. Here is a link to the list of all of the Movers & Shakers. Happy Shopping!!
