Devotional blog dedicated to the Goddess Sigyn offering support to those who are "holding the bowl" within difficult relationships.
This one is a keeper. It’s called Sigyn’s Tears. The pic doesn’t really do it justice, but there are crystal bits here and there that glisten when the light hits it right.
Would have liked to have a better “bowl” pendent (that really isn’t one), but seriously (with a few rare exceptions – either cheapy junk, or crazy expensive) the only bowls are entirely pet related – like in the whole of the internets (and anywhere nearby IRL). But it works well enough, so I’m ok with it.
Caregivers of those with Alzheimer’s and other dementias can experience high levels of stress. Learn 10 symptoms of caregiver stress and get tips on avoiding burnout. Find caregiver support, online and from your local chapter.
Definitely have to take some time to take care of ourselves. If we burn out, it will make it that much harder to care for those we love.
Sometimes when we are spending a lot of time caring for others, simple things like cleaning the house can fall to the wayside. If you are at a point where the accumulated mess is starting to seem an insurmountable task, I highly suggest checking out Unfuck Your Habitat (on tumblr as well).
Lots of hints and tips on how to break it all down into manageable bits. Makes it a lot less daunting, especially if you’ve only got a few extra minutes to spare each day.

Not a king, neither a warrior you shall be.
Saviour of the damned.
Hope of the non-believers.
Light of revolution.
A victor, you shall be.
Survivor and creator of life.
You shall be the invisible strength.
The force to make them to carry on.
Sigyn, Goddess of Constancy you shall be.
Sigyn’s Hymn
Without constancy, there’s no evolution. Without evolution, there’s no change. Without change, there’s no life.

Wanted to share this helpful tool with anyone who needs it. A lot of people have a hard time putting their feelings into words and identifying what emotions they are feeling. This is called a feeling wheel. It can help you get to the core emotion you are experiencing and help you name each feeling when you’re overwhelmed with many emotions
