For the past couple of days I have been helping Cancer out. I knew that all the pictures had been lost on VR and I offered to help in anyway that he needed me. He asked me to become a temporary Procurator, to go in and help out in the Database.

This is what we did. We would go in, verify the link, find a picture of the item, resize them if necessary, then upload the picture. I can’t tell you how many people were working on it, but it is a long process. The whole database, has been checked to make sure all links work and pictures uploaded to them. Thank you to all that helped get VR up and running again. You did a great job!!!! We all worked well together and got it done. *High Fives*

In the middle of doing this, I started chatting with Sevenn about something. She surprised and honored me by asking me to help HER out. She has several Covens who’s Masters were MIA. She asked me to help her out with getting some type of graphics up. She asked me to make simple graphics to signify the Coven Crest, representation and marks for the covens, following the coven guidelines. For the crests, I found them on profiles and just resized them. Then I created the marks and representations. It didn’t take me more than 30 minutes. I went back to doing the Database.

After we got the database done and checked and rechecked the links, I sent Cancer a thank you for trusting me with the temporary position and that I actually enjoyed helping out the site.

This was his response.

FROM: Cancer

I've switched your position to Sentoran.

I started giggling and immediately ran to give Sevenn a hug and telling her my news.

FROM:Sevenn

Yay! congratulations and welcome to the team! He is a such good guy, I'm very thankful he recognizes truly good people. =) Made my night.

To be honored with the Prince’s mark, for the VR Profile help page. Then to be honored with a promotion. Add in to be appreciated and accepted for who I am, by a woman that I truly look up to for how she handles things on here with professionalism and dignity.

I’m honored by the promotion. But I am more honored by Sevenn’s words. Thank you Cancer and Sevenn for your belief in me.

Thoughts on my coven...
19:15 Mar 17 2008

It seems that people think that I just sit here and collect kids on VR and do nothing with them. I told people, when they would listen, that my purpose to opening my doors specifically so the kids have some place to go, was so these kids would at least have someone to talk to. What did I get? I got flack for it. I was told that, it is their parent’s business to watch out for them online. I’m told that I shouldn’t try to replace their parents, that I would undermine their parents and their trust in their parents. *sighs*

Apparently you don’t remember what it was like growing up, being a teenager. There are some things you didn’t want to talk to your parents about, or were worried that your parents would punish you for just thinking about things. The one thing I remember as a teenager, was that I felt powerless at things that went on in my life. So, that is my goal. One of the things I try to instill in the kids in my coven, is empowerment to make decisions for themselves, I just teach them how to make informed decisions. To teach these kids to think of different aspects of a problem and then come up with a solution that fits their morals and personality.

Several of my members have been approached by people that made them uncomfortable. They came to me, to ask my opinion of what to do and sometimes, because they are too scared to do anything and need someone to protect them. You know what I do?? I ask them what they want done. I tell them that if the person is making them uncomfortable, they can tell them and then block them. I tell them that if the person is making advances, sexual ones, that they aren’t happy about, that they need to stand up for themselves and tell the person off and block them. The key thing is……THEY DECIDE WHAT IS DONE.

I don’t dictate to these kids or hell, even to my friends. I give recommendations and observations. It is up to them to follow them or not. Free will. Sometimes the only have people learn is to make decision for themselves, even if they are bad ones. That is how they learn, that is what life is all about, learning life’s lessons. If you don’t learn, you don’t grow, you don’t mature.

I feel I am doing something worthwhile with this coven. I feel that I have the correct people in it, to make me succeed in it.

We have a fun loving, wise old Dragon, to make the kids laugh, teach them to use their imagination and also gives real life recommendations to their problems. Thank you Contessa for being that kind of person.

We have a shy, quiet intelligent, articulate wizard in the form of Lord Vlkodlak. For those that have broken through his shyness, they are gifted with a loving, caring fun friendship, with a vicious sense of protection. Read his journal and profile to learn what I have about him. That it is possible for a fairy tale to come true and that Prince Charming does exist.

We have a big burly scary Vampire/Lycan mix as our defender to our masses. He tells it like it is, but still shows his caring side, as not to alienate our coven. He is gruff and surly at times, but he also cares deeply for things that he believes in and those that he trusts. I would step carefully when he is angry, it is powerful and potent.

I believe that the mixture of all of us, gives the kids of the coven, a wealth of true life experiences to learn from. I will continue to run my coven as I have, because I believe its working quite well for all of us.

The ones saying you're doing wrong are the ones that gave up on their ideals. You're doing a good job with those kids, sugar and I support you fully.

you know what, screw popular opinion on here because frankly, it's run by only the few that seem to be up in the mix way too earnestly anyways. i say this from experience of course!

you're doing a damned fine job mentoring them and keeping them safe.

I think what you're doing is admirable. As you say, some things just can't be discussed with parents, and kids need an impartial opinion as much as anyone else. Keep up the good work, and never mind what anyone else says!

We do have a great Coven here on VR! I've never met a group of people who can talk and joke like this and no one gets bent at anyone else. We have a terriffic group of "grown-ups" who offer something to the kids that many parents dont have time for- an ear to simply listen (tho I dont know where I fit in, I do my share of talking lol). As a parent, I hope that when my child gets old enough for something like this, people as honest and caring as those in G.o.D will still be around!

Well V and I decided that we wanted to try to have a child together, so we both went to the doc to find out what we needed to do....

Of course, doc had a problem with my age and my weight. Doesn't matter that I am basically healthy, except for the Multiple Sclerosis and Chronic Fatigue. Just that I have a weight problem and I’m 36. *sighs* I’m still going to try. So, for the next 3 months, I’m going to try to loose a bit of weight, be healthy and try to get my body ready to support a baby.

So....for the past couple of days, I have been making slight changes.

I have taken Khayman's last journal entry about a high protein, low carb diet to heart. Sorry, Khayman.....but I will not give up my milk lol. I will cut down on it...but not cut it out.

So, the last couple of days, I have gone light on the carbs....I have started drinking water. Discovered that I truly didn't drink enough. I might drink the milk with my cereal and not have anything else to drink until dinner. Right now, I am drinking one 16 oz bottle of water a day....which is a start. I hope to eventually get more. I have decided anytime I get hunger pains, I will drink some water, if the pains don’t go away, then I figure I am truly hungry.

As for the exercise....I am stretching out, or trying to everyday. I noticed that doing things around the house can be considered exercise. Since I have Chronic Fatigue and MS…I don’t want to overdo it. Today, I put all the laundry away, rearranged the closet to put the long sleeves in the back of the closet. I reorganized the linen closet, changed the kitty litter, collected all the garbage and then vacuumed all of upstairs. I did sweat a bit, as I was doing my best to stretch anytime I could. I came downstairs and had a bottle of water and an apple.

So far that was my day, then I came on here. I am going to work on a profile, look over some of the fertility dos and don’ts and hope that the Goddess will bless me with a child. Any hints and helps will be appreciated.

Ypu have my prayers and always, ALWAYS, my shoulder to cry on. I'd even offer my own 'incubator,' but beings im all the way across the country that might be a bit of a problem, lol. I love you guys both and I wish and hope for happiness for you guys in the future!!!

Small changes can do wonders, that's what I've learned... If it's to any help, I try to add as much fruit and veggies to my diet as possible, whole wheat pasta, bread and rice, as for the protein preferably white meat, chicken or fish, or a vegetarian alternative like quorn, tofu or soy... and try to avoid unnecessary fat and sugar...

And walking is an excellent exercise... :)

I believe you can do this and I hope you will eventually be blessed with a child because they are truly what makes life worth living...

Yesterday was Vlkodlak's and my first anniversary. We exchanged gifts. I gave him a ceramic figurine, of a wolf pup, laying on its back with its paw over its nose. Since his spirit guide is a playful wolf pup, that we named "Pup" i figured he would love it. I also gave him...

V’s Gift

He gave me, the following. A Sterling Silver Owl.

It was a very nice anniversary, speaking of the past, our present and what we want in the future. Its nice to feel so loved.

One year Anniversary for Vlkodlak and I
19:42 Mar 04 2008
Times Read: 1,261

One year ago today, Vlkodlak stepped off a plane, in Rochester, New York and into my arms for the first time. It was the first time we ever got to meet, face to face.

It was surreal in the fact, I had talked to this man for two years online, but now we turned shy in front of each other. Looking at this man, with his long dirty blonde hair, scruff of a mustache and beard, acting shy. When we finally hugged for the first time, it was so odd but we fit so perfectly together. He changed his coat into a leather duster and with a black beret, he was sexy as hell in my eyes. I couldn't believe he flew across country to see little ole me. I was hoping I wasn't a disappointment and that the following week with each other would be something wonderous.

That was a year ago and that week was wonderous. I found someone that understood me at my core, my reasons for doing things, for acting a certain way and for me just being me. I didn't have to put any pretenses up.

During that week, I didn't want to scare him away with my Chronic Fatigue or Multiple Sclerosis rearing its head, yet it did. We were going to go someplace and after we had gotten dress and were just about to leave, I had to be honest with him and tell him I couldn't that day. He didn't get mad, didn't have a tantrum, didn't do anything but shrug and say its ok. We changed back into comfortable lounging clothes and watched movies all day, while he was introduced to seeing the violent muscle spasms that I usually endured in private, first hand. I remember the look of concern that came over his face, as I tensed and jerked at the power of the spasm. I also remember, the shame I felt. Feeling like, well I was told I was defective once or twice because of this....I couldn't bare to hear it from him. I never did.

This man, this wonderful man, hugged me closer and eventually took me up to bed, gave me a full body rub to relax me, to the point I fell asleep. He went down to put the dogs out for their last time, settle them into bed and then lock up the house. He got into bed, gathered me in his arms and whispered, "I love you Jayme."

I can't help it, how can you not fall in love with a man like that.

I love you too Vlkodlak, my Knight, my love, my everything. Happy 1st Anniversary.
