I've been in a few an assistant coven mistress, a coven mistress myself, held some staff posts in another coven, and now am holding some in Further Down The Spiral (Coven).



I've done pages, designed pages, created images, done research, earned my keep in favor.



I've always wanted to travel through covens spend time here time there, see what other friends I can make, and give a helping hand to those that would welcome it.



I'm currently looking at societies once again, not planning to leave the one I'm in right now as I have things to finish, and I do enjoy spending my time here. But I am looking into joining a new society within the year, so if you'd be interested in having me please let me know. :)

I've done something new, a first for me which is sending out a holiday stamp.



I privately messaged this to a few people.



But in case I forgot anyone...

I cleaned out my friends list, removed anyone I don't recognize, talk to, anyone that hasn't signed on in a while, and anyone I'm not required to have added.



I will no longer be adding just anyone that adds me.



If you feel I've made a mistake in removing you please let me know.



I also cleaned out, stalking, and journal lists.

What You Need to Know



What Is Cystic Fibrosis?



Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide). A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that:



clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections; and

obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.

In the 1950s, few children with cystic fibrosis lived to attend elementary school. Today, advances in research and medical treatments have further enhanced and extended life for children and adults with CF. Many people with the disease can now expect to live into their 30s, 40s and beyond.



Symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis



People with CF can have a variety of symptoms, including:



very salty-tasting skin;

persistent coughing, at times with phlegm;

frequent lung infections;

wheezing or shortness of breath;

poor growth/weight gain in spite of a good appetite; and

frequent greasy, bulky stools or difficulty in bowel movements.

Statistics



About 1,000 new cases of cystic fibrosis are diagnosed each year.

More than 70% of patients are diagnosed by age two.

More than 45% of the CF patient population is age 18 or older.

The predicted median age of survival for a person with CF is in the late 30s.

Whitney Houston RIP

Los Angeles (CNN) -- Legendary pop singer Whitney Houston was found dead Saturday at a Beverly Hills, California, hotel, officials said. She was 48.



The entertainer, whose incredible talent was discovered at an early age, was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. (6:55 p.m. ET) at the Beverly Hilton despite resuscitation efforts, a police spokesman said.



Beverly Hills Police Lt. Mark Rosen said there were "no obvious signs of criminal intent" and that the cause of her death is being investigated.



Houston's bodyguard found her body, said Courtney Barnes, publicist for hip-hop artist Ray J, who was dating the pop diva.



According to her official website, Houston sold more than 170 million albums, singles and videos. But she also struggled with addiction problems over the years.



Houston died on the eve of the 54th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. Music producer Jimmy Jam, after conversations with those heading up to Sunday's night show, told CNN that he believes the event will change significantly -- including a tribute to the singer.



Houston was set to appear in this year's "Sparkle," a remake of the 1976 hit, which was loosely based on the story of The Supremes. It was her first movie role since 1996's "The Preacher's Wife."



News of her death elicited a flood of reaction on social media, from fans and fellow celebrities alike.

Whitney Houston seemed 'in good spirits'



Music producer Russell Simmons wrote he was "deeply saddened by the death of Whitney Houston."



Dolly Parton, who wrote "I Will Always Love You, said, "mine is only one of the millions of hearts broken over the death of Whitney Houston. I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance she did on my song and I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, 'Whitney, I will always love you. You will be missed.'"



Another entertainment legend, Quincy Jones, said he was "absolutely heartbroken" by the news. "She was a true original and a talent beyond compare," he said.



Houston's body of work includes seven straight Billboard No. 1 hits in the 1980s, including "Saving All My Love for You," "How Will I Know," "Greatest Love of All," "Where Do Broken Hearts Go," and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me.)"



Billboard put her soundtrack to the 1992 movie "The Bodyguard" as one of the top 10 biggest-selling albums of all time. She also starred in the film with Kevin Costner. The soundtrack included the hit,"I Will Always Love You."



The daughter of singer Cissy Houston, Whitney was born on August 9, 1963, in Newark, New Jersey. Famed music producer Clive Davis reportedly spotted Houston 20 years later in a New York nightclub, signing her on the spot, according to her website. Davis steered Houston's career for more than 25 years, also serving as a mentor.



The singer's rendition of the national anthem at the 1991 Super Bowl, days into the first Persian Gulf War, earned raves and cemented her place in the American musical landscape.



After "The Bodyguard," Houston went on to appear in several more films in the 1990s, including "Waiting to Exhale."



In 2000, Houston earned her sixth Grammy for best female R&B performance and, a month later, she was named female artist of the decade at the "Soul Train" Music Awards.



Her career stalled, however, in subsequent years as she entered rehab for addiction problems.



In May 2011, Houston got help for her much-publicized struggle with drugs and alcohol, her representative said at the time.



In a 2009 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Houston recalled how her mother arrived one day at her doorstep at her daughter's house with sheriff's officers and a court order in a drug intervention. She talked about doing cocaine and smoking marijuana.



"(My mother) says, 'I have a court (injunction) here," Houston said. "Either you do it my way, or we're just not going to do this at all. We are both going to go on TV, and you're going to retire.'"



Houston had a high-profile and tumultuous marriage to Bobby Brown, a former "New Edition" star who has had multiple brushes with the law. The couple appeared together in the mid-2000s on the reality show "Being Bobby Brown." They had one child together, Bobbi Kristina.



Houston was the cousin of Dionne Warwick, another acclaimed performer.
