Where did it go?

Are you Ready to Bring Your Sexy Back? Before we all head out for the weekend I wanted to send you a quick note. I'm really excited because it's to share something I've been working on for a LOOOONG time. And it's the reason behind our acquiring the Balch Hotel. Many spiritual, aware women are afraid of admitting the struggle we're having. Life looks good on the outside, but inside...? Not so much. Seems we don’t want to admit where we’re struggling or have gaps. We don’t want to bring negative energy to situations. And there’s wisdom there. Complaining isn’t creating change, it

A New Feminine Approach to Creating Your Year

2016-01-21T10:47:18+00:00

Clarity, Simplicity, Lusciousness and Ease We’re past halfway in this first month of this shiny New Year. How were your holidays? Have you recovered or is it a blur already? If you're like me, its a slow emergence into 2016 and I have been really feeling my way into what this New Year wants to be. I'm creating from Feminine Centered intuitive lusciousness from the get-go. No more man-styled drive projection and goals. (Nothing wrong with that if it's working for you, I'm trying another way.) My usual New Year clarity and intention is forming slowly through the mists of my soul’s

A Perfect Portal to Inner Wisdom

2015-12-22T13:05:23+00:00

Oops. I have a confession to make and an apology. I need to cancel the Solstice Call scheduled for tomorrow--I hope it's not a terrible disappointment. Last week I neglected to listen to my inner wisdom (where MY soul has been going)  and I offered a Solstice gathering call for you. The inspired action and intention were good, but my timing is not. I was ignoring my intuition calling for quiet and space. Perhaps you responded, wanting to attend. I'm so very sorry--I hate to disappoint you--but I know the importance in coming from a place of clarity and alignment

Go Where your Soul is Already Calling

2015-12-20T08:42:41+00:00

A Perfect Portal to Inner Wisdom this Solstice This season more than ever a deeper pull has been moving in me. I've avoided the holiday commercialism. Maybe it's the huge transition and uplevel to owning the Balch Hotel, (plus getting the spa up and running and coordinating with new teachers and chefs for special events and retreats.) The holidays can be external expressions of busyness and business, but inside it's getting quiet. I love that at this time of year we are drawn to cozy up with chai tea and journal in big sweaters. Decking the halls with boughs and twinkling light galore. We had 8" of snow yesterday

End the Divine Divorce

2015-11-23T18:09:21+00:00

excerpt from The Magdalene Path One morning, in that liminal space between sleeping and waking, I heard in my mind, “It’s time to end the Divine Divorce.” As I contemplated this, I imagined it meant that by awakening the Divine Feminine we bring back the Goddess to God, the Holy Bride to the Bridegroom, and reunify the divine couple. I got a glimmering sense of how that could impact humanity, but it was also unclear. So I brewed a strong cup of chai, my favorite wintertime tea, and cozied into a chair in my bedroom alcove. The morning light was

Balancing the Masculine and Feminine: The Key Task of Our Time

2015-11-22T18:12:19+00:00

As a conscious co-creator, a soul-centered awakening woman, your contribution is essential to build a better world that works for everyone. I’m with you on that one. And to me, Feminine empowerment, balancing with the Masculine mode, is key factor for rebuildng a sane and just world, personally and collectively. I know, it’s overwhelming at times—the changes needed are of such magnitude that our individual efforts seem small in contrast. And we've all felt the pain when—even with the best of intentions—what we yearn for doesn’t come into being. It’s filling that gap between who you are now and who

It’s Here…SisterSoul Salon Virtual Retreat

2015-10-14T08:04:55+00:00

Virtual SisterSoul Salon…Is Here! It's finally time. It's crazy to realize it's almost 2 years since I published The Magdalene Path. I've gotten such amazing feedback from so many of you. And I consistently hear that it brings up a lot of thoughts, feelings, memories and ideas, so I figured its  time to gather and explore.  A virtual space for women to connect who want to go deeper into The Magdalene Path. Last spring, before we moved to The Balch Hotel, I was offering these Sister Soul Salon evenings  in my home, for just this purpose. Many of you wanted to

Embodying the New Eve + Insider Invite

2015-10-08T08:00:59+00:00

What if We Got Her Story All Wrong?   With autumn upon us, thoughts turn to changing leaves and Fall Harvest….apples, pumpkins, etc.  How timely that Bella Mia magazine has just released our latest issue, The Truth About Eve, featuring that iconic apple-wielder herself. (With a gorgeous photo of Southern Oregon's Renee Jeffus on the cover—yum!) So I wanted to send you my article, Embodying the New Eve, (which I’ve excerpted for you below). It's by far the most edgy confrontation of traditional beliefs that I’ve written for mainstream press. It excites and terrifies meto share it with you. This whole issue really bumps up against cultural

This was so cool…and brought tears of relief

A Process for Flourishing in Your Soul-Centered Life and Work Do you ever get signs from nature? I’m guessing you do. Is the answer clear or do you wonder what it means? I have to share a cool story—something that just happened the other day that brought tears of relief. And it points to a solution to your own guidance clarity process. I was sitting outside on a late summer morning, watching a great video training about feminine wisdom as the new paradigm in business today. (Yes! Finally!) This shaman/coach related how the feminine way of connecting to nature is a powerful

Is it Self Indulgent or a Radical Act?

2015-09-23T20:30:39+00:00

Why Self Love and Self Care Are Radical Ah Autumn Equinox. Poised in the balance of light and dark, a perfect time to reflect on balance in our lives and work. Fall used to mean rest after the busy harvest, a slower pace, time to shift gears and start the turn inward. Are the cooler shorter days signalling you to slow down? All around me women I'm talking to are mentioning needing more self-care and self-love. When was the last time you stopped and took some time for you? Why is this a such a radical challenge for so many? Historically,
