Are you making space for POSSIBILITY?
“I am making a home inside myself where grace blooms
in grand and glorious abundance,
a shelter of kindness that grows all the truest things.”

Greetings to all my precious people!!
Eclipse season has arrived and there is a sense of chaotic anticipation sprinkled with a bit of consternation and worry. Have you noticed anything out of sync in your world this week?

Let There Be Room for “Not Knowing”
“Letting there be room for not knowing is the most important thing of all. When there’s a big disappointment, we don’t know if that’s the end of the story.

Release & Let Go
To let go does not mean to get rid of.
To let go means to let be.
When we let be with compassion,
things come and go on their own.
– Jack Kornfield
Greetings to all my precious people!
The summer of Great Yang is officially over and we are on the edge of Autumn, a changing or liminal point in the natural cycle of the Earth. The word liminal comes from the word “limin”, which means “threshold” in Latin. Indeed, the transition of each season finds us on the threshold of change and shift, as we, along with the natural world, move from one space to another. continue reading
