BLEEP BLOOPS IN BLACK, COUPONS/GIVES IN RED, UPDATES/NEW IN BLUE

Days since anything written by AI: All of them. All of the days.

Happy Full Moon and Happy Full Life!! (@BingoSmoke adopted this “Happy Full Life” phrase from his grandkids and I’ve been using it since I heard it)

“I’ll eat my words when it’s 85 degrees next month but for now, WEEEE!!!!” -MW, late October

One of these years, I’ll stop getting duped with this “false Fall” thing in Austin. Until then, I chomp my words as the ATX weatherlords laugh at me. Still absolutely beautiful though and I’ll take any double digit temperature around here! Can’t complain. Also remember to check out this AMAZING supermoon tonight! I’ve been basking in its glory the past couple evenings and it’s been incredible! Perfect time for a ceremony of some sort if you ask me.

Last week, I had mucho emphasis on gratitude toward any and all things in life that I appreciate. By focusing on something beautiful, amazing or really anything that I appreciated, it seemed that would start to compound and amplify these events, filling my soul with immense joy and awe and that’s friggin’ awesome!! Through the ups and downs of life, this practice has allowed me to open up when I feel somewhat closed off and see the beauty that is everywhere. HIGHLY recommend!

As I’ve honed into this practice, I’ve also been trying to just appreciate these events and happenings just as they are. Not trying to preserve them or capture them to share or do literally anything with them…just breathe it in, be thankful, and go about my day carried on with that new glow. And let me tell ya! This practice also seemed to compound and amplify, synchronicities and abundance abound!

I’m not super well versed on the topic, but there has been mega solar activity lately, full moon stuffs and a metric crap-load of cosmic energy buzzing around. I’ve noticed these energetic blasts have affected me in the past, and I’m working on anticipating these fluctuations and preparing for balance to be a bit more difficult as has been in past similar cycles. I picture it like I’m walking on a sturdy bridge during normal times…safe, secure, not too wobbly. But when these storms come, that bridge turns into a tightrope. While on the tightrope, things are balanced and centered, but the slightest of things can pull me off track and things get shaky. Someone or some thing could toss me a frickin’ boulder while on that tightrope and really complicate things. Heck, sometimes I’ll catch a grape and that alone will sway my path. I could focus on the weight that is causing me to fall out of balance and begin a slow decent into the valley below. One thing after another will come my way, I’ll reach out and try to catch it or keep grabbing these heavy objects that makes it harder and harder to stay on the rope. But in times like these, I’ll *try* to swat away the objects, or simply ignore them. The practice of appreciating life as it is, breathing deeply, smiling, thanking, and moving on without attachment brings some helium balloons my way. At first, I grab the balloon and am amazed it found me. I grab my phone to snap a pic and the balloon floats away. Back to the beginning. The next balloon floats over my way, I grab it, say “thank you” for the help in balance and continue navigating the rope. Before you know it, I’ve collected so many balloons, I’ve run out of places to tie the strings and I’m not even touching the rope at all, just floating through life up up and away. I’ve been finding a lot of balloons lately, and the less attached I get, the bigger and more frequently they come.

Could I be searching for and assigning meaning to my hypothesis? Absolutely. Is this also just how life has been working lately? Absolutely. So…take that how you will. But the times when I am most intentional about being in the moment, making an internal pact to just appreciate and let it be without trying to act on anything or preserve it, the magic flows more freely and frequently. Even the simple decision to leave my phone at home while going on a walk or to the grocery store has led to some amazing situations and absolute picture perfect moments that were only preserved in my noggin. The times where I’ve tried to capture such beauty have seemingly made them dull or disappear entirely. This is probably just a personal life hack I’ve tapped into during my own development cycle, but every time I’ve tested the waters recently, it has played out in unbelievable ways.

On an unrelated note, I also wanted to share a realization I had the other day regarding procrastination. As I’m sure with many of you, I don’t procrastinate things I’m excited about. Agar day? LETS GOOO!! Grain day? Bust out that grain dance! Let’s see those grainbows! Fixing that broken shelf, cleaning the windows and organizing the garage? Get lost. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe next week. Preferably never.

I usually save the odds and ends type of chores for Sundays and try to sprinkle them in between moments of ultimate chill…things I’m usually not too excited to do. Somehow, over the past month or so, I got out of that habit and moved toward “All day Sunday, all ultimate chill”. I’m not being hard on myself…I think we all need days to just be, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But I was noticing that every time I looked at the broken shelf or the dirty windows through the week, it would take up some form of negative outlook, even if only in the slightest. In that single fleeting moment, it’s not that bad. Not bad enough to get motivated to change it anyway. Easily ignored. But like the moments of gratitude that compound, so do the undesirables. If I looked at the shelf, say 40 times over the past month, all with that subtle fleeting “UGGH” attitude, well, they add up.

I realized it’s not even the task of fixing/cleaning/whatever it is that gets me down, it’s literally just the THOUGHT of putting off the task that’s damaging. The moment I stop whatever I’m doing and just start working to complete it, it’s not bad at all! Suddenly I’m in the moment, cleaning windows or whatever, and it’s actually quite nice. I’m getting something accomplished that I had been putting off, I no longer have that dreaded “UGGH” feeling whenever I look at it, and instead can look at a perfectly balanced shelf or clean garage and feel amazing about the result. The things I despised was the thought that surrounded the chore not being done. And by putting it off, I was making sure that negativity had nowhere to go but run laps in my head. I don’t need to be productive every moment of every day, but when the time spent on dread surpasses the time spent doing the damn thing….just do the damn thing. That is all.

More unrelated notes!

Times are weird out there. The support some people count on to feed their families is diminished or delayed. If you or anyone you know is going through a tough time, stressed about where the next meal will come from, please let me know. The MW food pantry is wide open! I’d be happy to make a care pack of good food to help carry through until things settle down, no questions asked and the only string is attached to a big helium balloon helping you walk that tightrope a little easier. You are loved, you are worthy and you matter my friend. I’m here for you. Hang in there <3

UPDATES:

I’ve been working on some pretty friggin’ cool things over here lately! Not trying to rush any new releases, but focusing on quality, so no ETA quite yet, but will have some awesome new stuffs to share in the coming weeks! The “Black Box” will return as a holiday item for the month of December along with some amazing holiday themed genetics that will blow your stockings off!

Patience my friends! Orders for supplies, like grains, substrate and agar, have been on the rise lately. That’s awesome and thank you!!! These are also the most time consuming processes. Supply orders typically ship out on Tuesdays and Fridays so you get the freshest batch possible, but if I end up with a short backlog of supply orders, I’ll email you to let you know when your order will ship. Unless things get really crazy, it should only be a 1 day delay, if any.

Also good news: Life is good, you are loved and I appreciate you! Keep on being your fine self and keep rockin’ on!

I used to have a few goofy trivia questions that were coupon codes good for $$ off your order, but my shop just couldn’t handle all the awesomeness, so it faded away. But I miss that!

ALL orders on this fine hump day (11/5) get a free Ochraceocentrata “Super Strain” swab pack, not available in the shop! My swab/agar journey began as a youngin in the myco world when a vendor gave me a free swab like this. I had no idea what to do with it at the time, but I learned, experimented and dove in head first with agar. Absolute game changer and not nearly as complicated or overwhelming as I imagined! I hope the same will go for you if you’ve never worked with swabs before, but as always, if that’s not something you’re ready for or you wouldn’t use it, add a note at checkout and I’ll swap it out with a syringe of a cubensis variety 🙂
