I’m posting from my iPhone right now. I do have a desktop computer but most of my stuff is done on my laptop. The screen is busted up bad – hubby accidentally stood on the lid, and now the screen is a mass of cracks and big black spots.

This is going to cost me *a lot* to get replaced, so bare with me.

I couldn’t be more pissed off right now. At a time where I need to be saving money, more and more expenses arise.

Yup, it’s me. I’m alive, well and kicking. I just wanted to give you all an update, seeing as I think you all deserve it.

I’ve been meaning to get another episode out recently, but after working 38 hours a week, all I want to do on the weekends is sleep and laze about (not to mention the housework and such that comes with mundane life). The next episode is in the works, and whilst I can’t guarantee a time or date for it to appear, I can guarantee it will be out. Thank you for your responses to the question in Episode #13 – it’s been an interesting thing to see peoples’ answers, and I’ll be sharing some (if not all) of those responses.

I wanted to pass on my extreme gratitude and acknowledge all of those people who have sent me email, ‘friended’ me on Facebook or started following me on Twitter – when I first started this project, I (like many others) never expected to get the response that I have, and I do very much appreciate it. Whilst I hoped I would gain an audience, I never expected to have over 32,000 downloads in just under 18 months. That number is INSANE to me, and I am so grateful for every single download.

I’ll also take this opportunity to say that it’s not possible for me to now answer every single email or Facebook message I get. If you’re just passing on a ‘Hey, love the show!’ or something like that, please understand that I will read it and appreciate it, but I can’t give everyone a response – I feel I’d be sitting here for the next 12 months, just to give my full attention to each email! If you ask a question, please don’t expect an answer straight away – it might even be a month or two before I can get back to you. Each question I get needs time for me to sit down, work out my answer and articulate it in a way that helps you. If it’s something to be resolved urgently, it’s probably best to seek out help elsewhere, as much as I’d love to help.

I love you all so much – you’re a blessing to this little Geek Witch’s life and you are the reason I keep doing this!

Much love and blessings,
Tahlea Moonwater

1) If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook you’d know that my fiance and I found our own place, so there was moving involved. I’ve also seem to forgotten how much effort running a household, even that of two people and a cat, is, so a lot of my time is going towards that.

2) I’ve jumped into an additional role with the Tas Pagan Alliance, and that is their graphic designer for their quarterly newsletter. The previous designer resigned after about 10 years of being in the role, so she’s earned a well deserved break, but unfortunately she didn’t leave me with a template, nor had she completed the more recent edition for Autumn (and the end of this month brings on Winter!), so I had to pump that out as quickly as possible, and now we’ll be working on the Winter edition!

3) Work – I’m trying to do as much as I can to bring money into the house, and unfortunately podcasting isn’t paying the bills (yet?!), so work is having to take priority. I’ve kind of come to a standstill with it, as I’m waiting on info from my clients, but once that comes through it will be all systems go again.

4) School. A pain in my backside, but something I’m committing myself to doing. Enough said.

So I hope you can all understand – the GW Podcast will need to be put on the backburner for a while until I can come up with a couple of hours free time. In the meantime, feel free to suggest topics for #13 and future episodes!

Blessings,
Tahlea xx

Secondly, if anyone would like to send me any books, products, films, etc. to review, I’ll happily do so

Thirdly, I have set up memorial pages in light of Aidan Odinson’s proposal for Tempest Smith Day, for any prominent Pagan people who’ve left this life – if you have someone to suggest for a page there, please let me know.

That’s it for now!

You can find me at http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/profile.php?id=1430534729. Hope to see you there!

In other news, I don’t think I’ll be able to get the podcast out this month – I’m so sorry to all of you who have been waiting. Life has just got in the way a bit, and I will get it out as soon as I possibly can. Again, my apologies to all of you who’ve waited so long.
