When we think about the concept of consumerism and living in a consumerist culture we often default to the idea of accumulating stuff. Interestingly enough, when I was writing my recent post about buying my way to my future fantasy self, it wasn’t stuff I was consuming – it was information. It was “investing”…
Read moreRemembering the Bones of My Work
Opening to unseen possibilities. Healing in unexpected ways. I’ve been deep in the cauldron these past few days. Sitting in the wisdom of the New Moon in Cancer, the flesh and blood of my anger and grief shedding from my womb, I’m deep in the crucible. A few days prior to the beginning…

My womb is shedding. I am writing this under a New Moon in Cancer, June 28th (well now, technically June 29th), 2022. Yesterday I experienced wildly painful period cramps, nausea, the works. I put my hands on my body and I asked it “How do you want to be held right now?” Laying face down,…

I didn’t pull a tarot card today. I’m feeling the pull to write from the Great Mystery and see what emerges. As I moved through the last few days of personal retreat, I sat with something the main teacher/mentor had said many times. She said (abridged) that a lot of people struggle with…

I am at the beginning of day 2 of a 4 day personal retreat.
