It's that time of year when we often find ourselves interacting with those who may put us outside of our comfort zone. And it can create some beautiful opportunities for growth and learning, as we see relatives and old friends we may not see very frequently. It can be helpful to remember that we do [...]
Lately, as I approach the new year, I've been selecting a theme I'd like to invoke for the coming year. At last night's solstice ritual we each selected a word, going round in circle sharing it and lighting a small candle that each woman took home with her to represent the birth of the light [...]
Held my last women's circle in San Diego tonight before my move. We celebrated the coming solstice as well as the full moon in Cancer on Christmas Day. We honored endings and rebirth, which was so perfect for this new journey I'm preparing to embark on. I kept waiting to feel more sadness in coming [...]
The sun child stirs in the depths of a snowy womb as he hears Winter Solstice's call. Encircled deep within the moon's belly, he invites us to ask, “what is immersed in the longest night?” As a seed in the chilled earth, through this time of wide darkness, we find our shadow and bring it forth. [...]
Sometimes I look in my fridge and groan, wondering why I actually have to deal with the whole "food thing." Lol. But other times I'm pleasantly surprised when inspiration strikes as I realize I have veggies that need using and an idea of how to use them! I threw together this really simple soup, which [...]
Mmmmmm chaga tea! So so yummy, with such amazing health benefits, and a great alternative to coffee. Often called a mushroom, it's technically mycelium embedded in semi-digested wood. Chaga's healing properties include boosting the immune system due to its abundance of Beta-D-Glucans, normalizing blood pressure and cholesterol, as well as soothing the intestinal tract combating [...]
When I teach my spirit guides workshop, I talk about all the ways our guides can be in communication with us...feathers are very common, as are coins. And over the last year in particular I've been finding quarters nestled in the strangest of places...under throw pillows, my bathroom sink, as I'm walking out and about. [...]
This was the view from our beautiful 15th floor room in downtown Baltimore for the Intro to Energetic Self Healing Workshop, an introduction to Reiki. I was so super honored and excited to share this workshop this past Saturday. Every workshop is special and unique, and this one had the very beautiful theme of sisters! [...]
I'm having such a wonderful time cooking with my sister on my trip to Philly! We made a vegan chili for dinner tonight, chalk full of lots of delicious veggies, and a perfectly warm food for the cold East Coast evenings. VEGAN CHILI (serves 4-6) Ingredients 6 cloves garlic, minced 3 carrots (1 cup chopped) 1 [...]
Enjoying the seasons feels like such a blessing... walked for several miles in the lightly falling rain with my sis and her boyfriend this afternoon. There's so much quiet here, not what a lot of people (myself included) imagine about Philly I think. Taking some time for quiet reflection is such a natural and important [...]
