Living from Source: Trusting the Pattern that holds Everything

“When we try to pick out anything by itself,
we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.”
~~ John Muir
Greetings to all my precious people!!
We’ve reached the end of February. The Fire Horse year is eleven days old and already you can feel it—the acceleration, the intensity, the demand for truth.
This month, we’ve been preparing for this moment:
Week 1: INTUITION — You learned to trust your body’s knowing. Head, heart, gut—three centers of intelligence. Your body knows before your mind can prove it.
Week 2: OBSERVATION — You learned to see clearly. To discern YOUR truth from the conditioning you inherited. To recognize when you’re seeing through someone else’s eyes vs. your own.
Week 3: WOMEN’S BODIES AS TEACHERS — You reclaimed your cycles as wisdom. Menstruation as winter, ovulation as summer, the full spectrum of feminine energy. Wild Woman rising. The Crone claiming her power.
This week—the final week—we complete the arc:
LIVING FROM SOURCE.
Cinnamon-Stewed Apples Over Oats with Black Sesame Drizzle Recipe
Stewed apples gently tonify the Spleen and Stomach, making this breakfast easy to digest and deeply comforting. Cinnamon warms the interior and supports Yang, while black sesame seeds nourish Kidney Yin, Jing, and Blood—especially supportive in winter, postpartum, perimenopause, and times of depletion. Served warm, this dish anchors energy and sets the tone for a grounded day.

rethinking and re-feeling our conception of nature.”

Greetings to all my precious people!!
The Fire Horse year is here. It arrived four days ago on February 17th and you can feel it—the quickening, the intensity, the demand for authentic expression.
For the past two weeks, we’ve been preparing:
Week 1: INTUITION – You learned to trust your body’s knowing before your mind can prove it. You practiced listening to your three centers: head, heart, gut.
Week 2: OBSERVATION – You learned to see clearly, to discern YOUR truth from the conditioning you inherited. To recognize when you’re seeing through someone else’s eyes.
This week, we go deeper into the body itself.
Not the body as culture sees it (something to control, judge, fix, optimize).
Not the body as you were taught to see it (object, problem, liability, betrayal).
But the body as TEACHER. As wisdom keeper. As sacred text.
