Yep, that was a pure whoosh of life experience passing me by for the 86,400th time today. How is it possible that one day can equal so many? From the moment I placed my head to rest on my pillow last night, I have felt completely alive. Let’s back it up…
Read MoreAs the summer sun kisses the skin and encourages water-drenched days, the alchemy of water and light infuse the inner garden of mitochondria within my cells. Could it be true that each one of us has a set amount of energy for the span of our life and when we run out, we die? Some believe this and that the extent to which we can live in full vitality is to the extent in which we preserve and collaborate with our personal source of energy.
Read MoreAnyone else out there feeling like you are growing and churning from the inside out? And although painful, there is some sweetness knowing that it is for the benefit of your future and all of your relations? Me too. Something around these current moon cycles has left a lasting impression upon my psyche in a way I haven’t experienced in many years if ever, truly.
Today’s full moon in Aquarius continues to fortify the unpredictability of the current cosmic mirror. Both Venus and Mars are in opposition to this fullness providing deep inner tugs onto our moods, temper and relationships. Pluto is in the mix, quincunx to the Sun/Venus and the light reflected by this potent moon, asking us to reconcile what is lurking under our friendships and intimate relationships.. This dynamic brings forth the complexities that have been brewing below the surface seeking karmic resolution. Ultimately the challenge is to look within ourselves, assess our own projections onto others, and notice what we notice at a time when the energy is so expansive and outwardly dominate.

Access to an inner strength that fights on in endurance fortifying circumstances and the insatiable cultivation of courage has been invaluable in moments of life. However, the rugged force needed at times to persevere in harsh psychological, emotional, physical or spiritual tests has its limits, even within those same encounters.

I raise my hand excitedly as if I can’t withstand shouting the answer out loud. YES! I believe in the magic that is exposed through the miracles of life. Some days are more radiant than others and yet, each day offers a healthy dose if only I am open to it. It is mostly the animals, predator birds and the fecund nature where I live that reminds me on a daily basis.
Read MoreNot in any traditional sense, no. When people ask me if I want to have children, I’ve always had the same answer… “God Willing”. I am not compelled to have kids. I don’t feel the need to be a mother to fulfill any sort of destiny and I don’t have the deep-rooted longing that I witness in many of my sisters. Throughout different chapters of my life I have experienced the role of Mother. I’ve led communities and sat in the seat of a matriarch. I have spent endless hours upon hours taking care of students, their families, and friends as if they were my very own. Maternal instincts come naturally to me and I have more love to give than I even know.
Read MoreFirst response, yes, 100%. Second thought, what is the it? One thing I am currently learning is that if I am to set my heart on fire and then walk through it, I might as well bring all of me to enjoy the heat. There is no half-ness about life if I truly want to live it fully. Thus, I am brought before my own paradox and it looks like this…
