Greetings to all my precious people!!
It is the first day of March in a leap year!! And still, the remnants of Winter remain. During this transitional phase, warm sunny days are mixed with cold rainy moments as the Earth moves in her cyclical shifting pattern. Mother Nature continues to be our best teacher as she adapts and moves forward, mirroring our own Life pivots and shifts. We acknowledge the quiet phase of Winter for surely it is a reminder of the trust and faith we have that Spring will appear. These seasonal patterns reflect life lessons in persistence, patience, and promise. The message of this ‘in-between’ time continues to be: slow down, get quiet, and prioritize deep rest to support your own Spring renewal. continue reading
12 Ways to Sharpen Your Intuitive Skills
Intuition is a powerful decisive tool. It’s that gut feeling that instinctively alerts you to if something is “right” or “wrong”. It ensures we respond in the moment. While not infallible, intuition is invaluable.
Intuition provides us with that internal gut response, or inner voice, beyond logic or learned responses, revealing both who we are and the knowledge we have gained.
If we listen, we can benefit from the inspiration it offers and the feeling of confidence that it provides. Let intuition help guide you. continue reading
Listening to our own Voice
We cannot live in a world that is not our own,
in a world that is interpreted for us by others.
Part of the terror is to take back our own listening,
to use our own voice,
to see our own light.
~Hildegard de Bingen
Greetings to all my precious people!!!
I inadvertently took a week off from sending out my weekly tidbits. I suppose an interruption here and there is a good test for my recovering Type A – hypervigilant – overly conscientious Self! But I am committed to the sharing and it is back on track now, so hopefully some part of this offering will be helpful to you, or someone you know.
We are in the midst of the seasonal shift, moving past the incubation of Winter into the gathering energetic Qi of Spring. This is a liminal space – the “in-between” space – before the snow has finally melted, before the crocuses are flourishing in their vibrant colored petals. It is a time that is perfectly suited to become more acquainted with our Heart, our inner Being, our divine Spark, our essential Voice and our unique Self. continue reading
Welcome the Year of The Wood Dragon
The Chinese Zodiac calendar for 2024 ushers in the Year of the Wood Dragon on Saturday February 10. This is a time that holds great significance in Chinese culture and astrology. The Dragon, revered for centuries, is a symbol of wisdom, nobility, and luck. The Year of the Dragon is more than just a mark on the calendar; it’s a period rich in historical significance and cultural symbolism. As we embrace the qualities of the dragon—strength, wisdom, and fortune—we also celebrate the rich tapestry of Chinese tradition and its global impact. Full of Your Self
Be yourself; everyone else is taken.
~~ Oscar Wilde
Greetings to all my precious people!
It is the beginning of February and the Spring season is not far behind! In the Celtic traditions, the first day of February is known as “Imbolc” (im-bulk) and is celebrated from February 1 to sundown February 2. Imbolc marks the halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and is just one of several holidays highlighting some aspect of winter and sunlight, and heralding the change of seasons. continue reading
