The Divine Feminine in Friendships

Women, women, women!

That’s been a theme in my life for about two years now. Everywhere I turn I’ve been meeting strong, attractive, deep, interesting, creative women.

They have come into my life through the doors of my tax practice, online through the study of plant medicine, metaphysics & astrology and most recently through my book.

She found me through my audiobook and a google search. “And I fell in love with your voice,” the attractive Ukrainian woman standing in front of me in need of my tax services said. She was also a self-published author. I know this is going to sound cliche, but I felt like I had met her before. I also knew that she and I would become friends because we just “clicked” in the special way that I’ve been clicking with other special women.

Elena is one of many women I have met just like this over the last few months. I’ve walked into homes of clients and stayed for dinner, volunteered at the Steinbeck Center as a mentor to two young writers and met a soul sister from another life. Heck, it’s even happened to me with my editor who lives in South Africa. It sometimes feels like we are living in the same house because she and I connect via our daily routines as mothers, sisters, and colleagues and intuitively feel one another’s moods. It’s just incredible.

When my daughter, Caroline was getting ready to go off to college, I found myself sinking into a pit of separation anxiety and it affected me physically. I wrote about this in my book, Many Gifts in detail because I wanted to share this with as many women as possible. The Divine Feminine energy that links us all was in its natural state of flow, presenting with changes to both our menstrual cycles and it scared me! It scared me because no one really talked about it. Once I began to open up and let the light into this area of our world, I think that’s when I was able to hop back on the train that is always riding to its destination: HARMONY. The perfect state where all things divine and feminine blossom.

My old wounds around women all started coming to the surface for air:

  • Sister wounds (I’m a twin) 
  • Friendship wounds (oh, I’ve got lots!)
  • Mother wounds 
  • Ancestral wounds 
My twin sister & I. I’m the one on the right:-)

I kept on diving into my plant medicine, meditation, my work, journaling and making love to keep my vibration as high as possible while I allowed the changes in my life and my body to happen. They were going to happen anyway! 

I think that’s when this tribe of women soldiers started coming into my field. My channel was set to the right dial for them.

The other thing that happened – and I only just realized this while writing this blog – is that the women who were not set to the right channel fell out of my world. There was simply no vibrational match for us anymore. Now if THIS is not the Law of Attraction that all the great books talk about, then I do not know what is.

Women rock. This post is to salute them and to salute me because I could not be at this point if I did not have the common sense to recognize that this LOVE that I have for them is really all about the LOVE that I finally have for ME!

Whitney said it best: I’m every woman. It’s all in me.

TEMPLE KEEPING – Creating a Sacred Space

Hello Lovelies!

For as long as I can remember, I have loved to create order and beauty. Sorting and organizing soothes me and keeping my house spick and span has become a vital part of my spiritual well being.

When life throws me a curve ball, and it’s thrown me PLENTY (which you can read about in my book very soon) nothing grounds me quite like cleaning my house does. When crisis ensues, my first reaction is to schedule a couple of days to get intimate with my house and escape the world.

For me, housework is a spiritual experience and involves a number of rituals. First I choose my soundtrack, whatever I need to inspire me to action. Sometimes it’s Stevie Wonder and sometimes its Tibetan sound bowls. WHATEVER KEEPS ME MOVING.

Windows are opened to release stale energy and dirty linens are piled into the washing machine for a sanitizing and refreshing. Every surface is polished and all of my keepsakes are given a bath in hot soapy water.

I am always filled with gratitude as I explore every corner of my home searching for dirt. I am reminded of all that I already have and this really uplifts my mood.

My final cleansing ritual is to smudge the entire house with my favorite herb to clear the energy. I like to use native herbs that grow in my garden. Rosemary is my favorite.

I also look forward to filling the house with bouquets of fresh flowers after I have made it sparkle. Flowers make the house feel happy and serene and treating myself to them every week is also part of my self-care routine – whether the house is clean or not!

Happy Temple Keeping,

Happy MAYAN Birthday CALIFORNIA – July 14, 2021 –11 KEJ

Hello Lovelies!

Today I am celebrating my home state of CALIFORNIA. I like to say that California reminds me of a beautiful woman. She’s a little high maintenance and really expensive. But…simply being in her presence is more than worth the trouble.

California carries the energy of 11 KEJ according to the Mayan sacred calendar. Today is also an 11 Kej day so it is California’s Mayan Birthday, in a way.

The totem animal for the Nawal Kej is the deer. It is the Nawal of NATURE, STRENGTH and SPIRITUAL LEADERS. Eleven has a restless tone to it and can bring spiritual tests when combined with the Nawal Kej.

Taking a hike through the forest is an excellent way to balance the directionless energy this day may bring.

California is known for its rugged landscapes and spiritual liberalism. It’s also the worlds’ fifth largest economy so it is very strong and very powerful. It embodies the qualities of its Nawal 11 Kej. My home state is also well known for its CANNABIS.

The Compassionate Use Act was passed nearly 25 years ago making California the first state to legalize the use of cannabis for medical purposes. There are now 37 states that have legalized medical marijuana.

Something else to CELEBRATE!

I invite you to embrace the wild and spiritual energy of today. Let your inner wanderer free. Take a journey into the forest and, perhaps enjoy your favorite plant medicine. THAT’S MY PLAN.

How about you?

xoxo

Thriving During MERCURY RETROGRADE (May 29, 2021-June 22, 2021

Hey Friends

Even if you don’t read your daily horoscope, you have probably heard someone complaining about “Mercury Retrograde”.

Mercury Retrograde has gotten a bad reputation, and it’s not surprising. Computers revolt and refuse to perform. Cars break down and all forms of communication are unclear, at best.

But Mercury Retrograde isn’t all bad. In fact, it is one of my favorite Astrological Seasons. 

It’s a great time to find lost objects. Items that have been lost for months and even years seem to materialize out of thin air. It’s also the perfect time to connect with anyone from your past.

Cancelled appointments and rescheduled plans are often the rule and not the exception while Mercury naps. This creates space and opportunity for spontaneous experiences.

I have learned to surrender to the slower pace Mercury Retrograde brings and just go with the flow. 

I am never disappointed! I actually look forward to it.

Wanna join me?
