Where I enjoy sharing my reflections, insights, musings, and dreamings as another creative expression that hopefully inspires others to see the world through the eyes of wonder.
Some of you know me well enough to know that I am an Enneagram 2 - The Helper. My mother used to call me her little peacemaker because I was forever helping people to feel better, always wanting to do things for other people to make them happy or to make their lives easier. I just love making others feel good. That was, and still is, my jam.
However, being a 2 has its shadow side (there’s always a shadow, isn’t there?).
Read MoreAs part of an online spiritual circle that I belong to, our theme this year is exploring the self through the lens of Astrology, the snapshot of the stars at the moment of birth that creates our own unique cosmic fingerprint. This month we are exploring the second house, the house of worth and wealth.
Read MoreIt’s the day after our April Sisters of the Moon circle, and this month was a special gathering. While our theme was the archetype of the Slavic goddess Lada, we were honoring another special goddess - our sister & friend, Jenny Jeck. She left us suddenly and unexpectedly in March (on the full Blood Moon and lunar eclipse, of course - if she was going to leave, she was going to do it with flair) and she left a gaping hole in our little community.

Read MoreIn our February Nature’s Coven, we journeyed with the goddess Estsantalehi, the Dine/Navajo sky goddess of change and time. She is always changing - she is young in the summer and old in the winter. It is said that as she ages, she walks into the direction of the rising sun, where she is met with her younger self and is renewed. She is the Turquoise Woman who took the sun as her husband.
Read MoreMy friend and I were having lunch recently and we started talking about the Pagan wheel of the year and its celebrations, and how wonderful it is that there are more and more women’s circles cropping up that celebrate these ancient folk traditions. She mentioned that she has a little trouble exploring these practices because they are often associated with the word WITCH.
Read MoreChristmas Day.
It was actually a tough day for me as I spent it alone. Certainly, this was not my first holiday spent alone, and I actually enjoy my own company, but this year felt...harder.
Recently, we dove deep into journeying with the goddess Cailleach in the gorgeous online circles facilitated by my dear friend Sarah-Alexandra @lifeisjustastorywritten. She is the Queen of Winter and invites us to embody deep rest and reflection.

Okay, maybe that seems like a really morbid thought, but hear me out. Just this past weekend we celebrated Samhain/Halloween, All Souls’ Day, and Dia de los Muertos, AND a new moon in Scorpio. Add to this festive weekend the fact that we are entering the Fall season in the Northern hemisphere, and you can see that death appears to be the theme of the season. There is a lot of juiciness to unpack here, and the season beckons us to slow down and explore this season with intention and reverence.
Read MoreIt’s beginning to get almost comical the number of times that the Universe has given me the message to “slow down” this year. As an air sign, first born, and fire constitution - I have no idea what “slow” means. My brain is forever moving at the speed of light and for some strange reason I must feel compelled to get my body to keep up. But here’s the thing - the Universe will get you to heed it’s messages one way or another.
Read MoreThey say you can never really go home again. I suppose that’s true. In the sense that things will always have changed.
Read MoreThey say that grief is like a wave
at times you are at its peak
and can see the light far out on the horizon…
and then
Read MoreA little poem from my body (a practice gently supervised by my beloved Storm).
Read MorePatience has never been my strong suit. Is it any wonder that the Universe keeps telling me to engage with it?
Read MoreI felt that traveling on vacation was the only way to get away from my life of dis-ease and find relaxation. Now, as I get older, I’ve come to the realization that it doesn’t have to be this way. Click the link and listen to the video for more insight into the new “vacation” I’ve discovered that’s really worth taking.
Read MoreTake a moment to join me for a gentle new moon meditation and oracle card reading to help us tune into the fiery courage of Aries to get things done!
Read MoreYou know that old saying, “March comes in like a Lion and out like a Lamb”? Well, here in good old Colorado, the Lion roared and we got dumped on with 2 feet of snow. How can you possibly shake off the Winter doldrums when its still snowing? Check out my blog post for some seasonal strategies for welcoming Spring.
Read MoreNew Year’s Goals aren’t all they are cracked up to be. Not to me, anyway, and this year I had a surprising amount of resistance to setting them. Let me share some insights as to why and what my primary goal turned out to be.
Read MoreI started this little series called “Mindful Mondays” as a means of introducing mindfulness to a client’s employees. Additionally, I know that most folks really dread Mondays - but what if we started our week centered and at peace? Could that create the foundation for a work week that feels more at ease? Well, give this a try and find out!
Read MoreI’ve talked with so many people already this week who have complained about being “so tired”, so I wanted to offer some encouragement (perhaps I needed some as well...).
Please try to remember that Mother Nature is showing us what is of primary importance now:
Rest.
