Where do I begin?
Firstly, let me start by saying how glad I am to be able to get back on here and put together another full-scale newsletter for you this month. If you received last month's, you'll remember that I had to do a bit of a placeholder from Belfast, Northern Ireland. I was still in the midst of my month-long trip in the UK/Ireland, and I had assumed that it would be no problem for me to take a day to park in a coffee shop and put it together, but I was soon hit with the reality that wouldn't be the most feasible thing to do. There were no "breaks" during my time away.
The "breaks" would continue to elude me once I got home. Thankfully I've been able to sleep much better, but the shit continued to make its way up to the fan. If you follow on Instagram, you may be aware of the situation that has been unfolding since I arrived home. Two days after I got back, my aunt experienced a health crisis that led to 2 calls to 911 within just a few days of each other. Frantic struggles with navigating not only our shit healthcare system but all the various other systems we had to consult with as she has Down's Syndrome. My time the last 2-3 weeks has been going solely to spending time with her in the skilled nursing facility, and being of help back at home while my mom, who is her main caregiver and advocate had to focus all her energy on making sure she was being cared for properly and that she knew she wasn't abandoned there.
This week, after jumping through a ton of flaming hoops, we brought her back home. It's been tough, but we've been seeing improvements and have also started to receive some of the assistance we've been trying to get this whole time. I thank you all who have sent supportive messages of love, prayers and good thoughts, it's very appreciated, believe me. Is the chaos over now? No. But at least things are slowly getting better, and we remain hopeful.
Now what does this mean Astral Priory-wise? As you can tell, everything remained on hold after the trip ended. I haven't been able to open readings back up, and I know a few of you have DM-ed me while I was in London about readings. I thank you for your patience, and know that I intend to open things back up again soon! I plan to have more info on that next week, I just need a bit more time to get things organized as we still deal with a change of circumstances at home.
I had a lot of ideas before leaving on my trip, and now I want to sort through them so I can get back to this work that I have really missed. I need to organize my thoughts. And that requires (for me at least) time and a bit of peace. The storm is slowly calming, but it's still present. Thank you for the grace you've given me during a very messy time.
