Well I guess Iām my motherās child because I now have a candle I never plan on burning. It feels so defiant. The fairy candle is my friend now. I will age, but she will not

Iām scared to use candles. But I collect them nonetheless.
Itās the same concept of how you want all your stuffed animals on your bed, and cry when one falls off. I dont want to neglect any of them.

This is a rose soy candle that I bought in France. Itās pink and itās small. Every time I burn it, I use those moments to mourn something until the wax has melted evenly.
When my cat died, I lit it for about seven minutes and used that moment to let him pass. But even on New Years Eve a few years back, it felt right to let go of the year that way.
While the flame and the melting wax helps me let go, using the candleās pretty metal and ceramic cup will help me keep everything Iāve mourned alive. Because the candle is so small, each time I burn it itās very special.

Finally lighting the candle youāve held onto because it smelled so good that you wanted to keep it forever but then lost it; reunited a few years later. Just to light it in your new apartment.

The superstition is this: on the first day of the month, one is supposed to say āRabbit, rabbitā to ensure a month of good luck. I adore this superstition, like making a circle of protective salt around you for the entire 28, 30, or 31 days of a month. in theory, itās supposed to be the first words you utter on that 1st day, but I make my life easier by just making sure I say it at some point during the day. I love superstitions, but I like also throwing in a bit of my own luck in there. So say ārabbit, rabbit,ā why donāt ya? Iāll say it several extra times in honor of those who read this a little later on.

Yes I work in a cemetery. My favorite part is saying hello to the graves. Judy Garland, Johnny Ramone, Rudolph Valentino, Pee-wee Herman. Honestly, itās a sweet tribute being around them. I make it a point to visit cemeteries in most cities I visit, but this one holds a special place in my heart. Itās one of my top two.
