Hello there, my left-handed page turner of our diary or if you prefer: Left finger swiper of a tablet or I-Pad ha-ha!  I suppose you are wondering why we are concentrating so much on our second day of school that happened on Wednesday September 4, 2019.  Well so many fun witchy things happened on that Sacred day of the rising sun!  First, we got to share time with our special lefty family, but more importantly, it was the day we got to use our powers for good!

     You see Sunshine, we are witches, and there are all kinds of witches, people, and spirits in our world.  There are Some good, some bad, some neutral.  We are the healers; we try to help the ones we are fortunate to meet so they can rise to new heights they never could achieve on their own.  We are family, and although we are individual people with individual talents, we are unstoppable when we're together, and finally we are home.  Sometimes people get lost in the world, but when we get lost, we always find our way back home to the people we love!

     That's what happened at 3 in the morning of Wednesday on the second day of school.  I was sleeping so soundly but then a lost spirit came to me in my dreams for my help.  Hee hee, we are 24-hour witches, so naturally I'm going to help the ones who come to me; Even at 3 am in the morning because we never close, and we're available for service all hours of the day and night.  I just wonder?  Do people still want to be witches now that they know we work 24 hours a day?  Well that is not entirely true, we more accurately play for 24 hours a day, because work is something you dread as an adult, but play is something you look forward to as a child, and for 24 hours of our wonderful life, we play like children and have the time of our life living every succulent drop it has to offer us.  That is who we are and why we are here! :)

     Well the lost spirit that needed our help asked me in my dreams if we could go to the Kirkland Cemetery at 7:30 this evening to comfort her grieving sister?  "Of course we can my dear!"  and that's why we were scrambling so early in the morning getting dressed and prepared for the day!

     For today's special event, we all had different roles to play (noticed how I didn't say work ha-ha).  My role as Astraea is "The Seeker" I am an Air sign, I use my gifts for the virtue of knowledge, and contact.  Since I'm intuitive and curious, people are drawn to me and I am drawn to them by the love I have for them.  Since the spirit came to me in my dreams, I had to wake up the girls to let them know that today is going to be a very special "Witchy Day" in our life!

     Aphrodite is "The Comforter" She is a water sign that has empathy and sweet loving kindness that anyone can fall in love with.  When I told Aphrodite about the troubled spirit that needed to see her sister for the last time today, she knew what to do!  She showed the grieving spirit her red ruby lipstick, smiled and invited her to come back to life in her body, so that she can give her sister a final kiss before crossing into the light forever.  When Aphrodite kisses you with her red ruby lipstick, she leaves part of her soul with you forever and that is exactly what our spirit needed to give her grieving sister before she could move on.

     Isis is "The planner” She is an Earth sign that mothers our world with her wisdom, guidance, and love for her children!  That is why I gave her my sketches of the dream I had with the spirit, to make sure that what we are doing is right and find the best way to help these 2 grieving sisters move on from their troubled past.

     So, our day started out at 3 in the morning, 3 little witches helping out the best way we could by the power of 3.  Aphrodite channeled the spirit into her body for the day and thankfully people did not notice that she wasn't herself today, because in fact she was 2 people now ha-ha!  So, I promise this is the last time I will say it "When you are around Witches, weird stuff happens!"

     The funny thing about us witches is that we have to balance the real world we live in with the supernatural world that is around us as well. I mean really do you know how hard it is to balance your chores, your homework and brushing your teeth, with spirits that talk to you in the dead of night, having spirits channeled through your body and trying to figure out what is real and what is illusion without losing your sanity? me either!  (winking at ya)

     Well after our left-handed dad dropped me, Isis, Aphrodite and her hidden ghost to school we had a great day.  Dylan and Gina were waiting for us before school started in the hallway and they were holding each other with their left hands because after all it was left hand day! ;)

     I was having so much fun with all the kids today showing all those right-handed people how to live life with their left hand.  I even got Ruben to smile and laugh as I took the mop from his hand and shown him how to mop the floor with a left hand, he tried it and laughed some more.  It was kind of funny because the spirit lady that was inside Aphrodite was having so much fun she got the mop from Ruben too and showed her version how to mop the floors.

     Aphrodite wanted to give her new Spirit lady friend one last day to enjoy life, to remember the importance of family and to let her know we would be there for her when she will visit her sister for the last time at the grave site later this evening.  Her family needed to heal and that is what this witchy day was all about.

     School was nice, in English class we received a wonderful novel to read called "The Joy Luck Club" it is a wonderful story of Chinese immigrant mothers and daughters struggles to understand one another and be seen by the love they have for each other!  It's kind of funny Sunshine, we're witches, but we're also are teenage girls that tries to live a normal life amongst the mortals we dearly love! ;)

      At lunch time, there was no drama in the cafeteria, just love, and everyone kind of hanged out together and the lines between all the groups from popular to not; seemed to magically blur while we ate, laughed and joked with each other during lunch time.   There was a very touching and emotional moment though when Aphrodite's spirit went to Dylan to talk to her son.  She held her son one last time in her arms and asked him to go with us to the cemetery so that she could say goodbye to him and his aunt Lan Wu, whom she dearly loved and would miss!  Julie Wu, who happens to be Dylan's mother who passed away, kissed him one last time on the forehead with Aphrodite's red ruby lipstick and gently said to him "Part of my soul is in your heart now my son, I'll always love you, take care of your sister Lucy, she is hurting and I can't help her now, but you can!  Help her heal!"  Oh, it was rough Sunshine, witches aren't supposed to cry but we did and we went to Dylan and gave him a hug!

     Well the faithful time came, and Dylan drove us girls to the cemetery, it was a surreal and somber moment.  Aphrodite asked if she could have a minute with Lan Wu and she quietly walked up to her as she was crying uncontrollably.  Aphrodite gently placed her hand on Lan's shoulder and smiled.  Lan Wu was so grief stricken and ashamed "Oh Aphrodite, I am so sorry for the way I treated you girls at school, I was so wrong for what I did and used my power as school counselor to try and get you expelled!  Can you ever forgive me?"  Aphrodite smiled and gave Lan a long and delicate hug that seemed to last for an eternity! "It's ok Miss Lan, we love you!"  Oh this was so hard Sunshine!  

A few minutes later, Aphrodite let Lan know her sister was here and wanted to say something to her through her and before Lan could completely understand Aphrodite, she heard her sister's voice coming out of Aphrodite's mouth "姐姐你能原谅我离开你吗" which means "Sister, can you forgive me for leaving you?"  "My sister is here!  Yes, I forgive you!  They said you died of natural causes, but I know you died of a broken heart!  It's not your fault sister!"  "Yes, I know that now and it is time for me to move on, take care of my son Dylan and Lucy and know that I will always love you and be in your heart!"  That is when Aphrodite lightly kissed Lan on her forehead and we came by to hold hands and give her a hug while the sun was setting!"  Isis said a few words "Earlier today we started the day out by holding hands with our family, now we are ending the day with a new family we love!" Just before the sun set, Julie Wu left Aphrodite's body and walked towards the last rays of light the sun had for our Earth, she waved one last time, smiled and crossed into the light for the final time!  Astraea said "I see her!  and she is so happy!  Isn't it beautiful!"  We all cried a little more and held each other a little longer before we left the cemetery with overwhelming love in our hearts!

     Well Sunshine we made it home!  Miss Lan Wu personally drove us home so that she could thank our mom and dad for making her life complete on the day she needed us most.  She also promised to take care of us in school!  Our parents were amazed, and we were just grateful we could make a difference in a person's life!  After everything settled down Astraea proudly proclaimed that it's time for the children of the night to come out and play, and she ran upstairs to change into appropriate clothes, but she never came down?  Aphrodite said her famous "Hmm?  I wonder what's taking her so long?"  So, Isis, mom and Aphrodite went upstairs to find out what happened?  That's when they saw that poor Astraea was fast asleep from a long hard days’ worth of play (not work ha-ha)  Isis took off Astraea's shoes tucked her in bed and said to Aphrodite with a smile "I think it was ok that she was only a 23 hour witch today, what do you think Aphrodite?"  "Yes it is mama Isis, yes it is!  Sweet dreams my little sister, I love you dearly!"
