Ask A Witch: Jules in Detroit, MI
Dear Alexandra,
I met a witch this past weekend, while I was on vacation. We hit it off very well, and I was impressed by the fact that she is a single mother. After she left our gathering with her beautiful son, I was commenting about how much I commend single mothers. I was then told that it has been rumored that she sometimes goes out at night and leaves the eighteen month old boy home alone.
As a mother myself, I was struck by this news. I don't know when I will see her again, nor do I know how to get in touch with her. I asked if anyone had talked to her about this, or offered to babysit. Unfortunately, in this world, sometimes people find it very easy to talk about people without offering any help. I would like to ask for blessings for them.

Dear Jules,
Please be aware the rumors can be vicious. There is every chance that this is merely a story told by well-meaning old wives. If and when you come in contact with this mother again, don't name names. If you are worried, bring it up to her that you heard she may be in need of some babysitting and that you'd love to care for her beautiful son in exchange for a home-cooked meal or some other equally neighborly gesture! I pray that blessings, opportunities and wisdom will pour like rain from the Gods to them if they want them, and that you can be of whatever help you would like to be.
Light!
Alexandra
