Femifesting? Feminine Manifesting in the New Paradigm Manifesting from our Feminine power is messy, intuitive and organic. It flies in the face of what we’ve been taught about how to plan and execute a project from start to finish. In masculine mode, it’s very linear and organized, and it works. But not always. The old ways and mindset are not working like before. So many crave a new worldview, one that embraces living from Feminine Soul and divine guidance. But it’s not always an easy shift. In the 10 months since “The Great Oregon Hotel Tour” (when we originally started looking

A New Temple to The Feminine? Last issue, Josiah Dean wrote a guest article about how finding his purpose eluded him for so long. It was right in front of him, but it seemed so big and impossible he couldn’t admit it to himself. Once he did, it started to manifest right before his eyes. What dream might be “hiding in plain sight” right in front of you? He shared 3 Steps To Realize his Dream…and you can do it too: (read it here) This quest for deeper meaning is triggered at various times. For many it happens at midlife.

From Heart Ache and Struggle to Living A Dream For years my darling husband, Josiah, struggled to find meaning and purpose in his life. It was frustrating for him, (and me!) because he knew that I guided so many women through exactly this challenge! (But you can't coach your own spouse. Just don't.) Then he had a breakthrough that was so obvious it startled him. Since many of you don't know Josiah, I've invited him as a guest writer, during our crowdfunding campaign, so you can learn about the man and vision behind The Balch Hotel, from his blog at Abundance Hospitality, Let's

Big Hairy Vulnerable Ask Last week was kind of a crazy confluence of big births. Are you noticing that, too? After many long months we accepted an offer on our house. The next day we launched a crowd-funding campaign for The Balch Hotel which we're going to turn into a sustainable boutique hotel and retreat center. See more here. Like many big moments it was so unfathomable that it didn't seem real. I mean, who gets to buy a hotel, anyway? It really begs the question: Can we make our dreams come true? Turns out you can. But its not

Have you ever done something so big it seems too ridiculous to even be scary? Last week my husband I did 2 things like that. And both relate to a dream we’ve been working on for a long time. We sold our house (after many, many months) and then launched a crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo We’re raising operating capital for The Balch Hotel, which we are purchasing to turn into a sustainable boutique hotel and retreat center (See pics and read more here) We’re close to closing the deal and now we have less than a month to raise awareness

A few days ago I had one of those moments.  You know: time slows down, light glows and a new awareness drops in. I'd spent a lovely afternoon with a lively group of intelligent, sensitive women--all in various stages of transition--at the Paint Your Goddess ArtSpa retreat in my home. We activated Divine guidance through meditating, writing and creating art. Connection was deep and bright. It was a really good day, by all accounts. This was the 3rd event I’d led in my local community in 3 weeks. I hadn’t planned it that way. Originally I wanted to offer “one

You might recall I wrote that we'd be moving March 1 to own and operate The Balch Hotel. But there's been a bit of change so I wanted to update you. We've been immersed in packing and preparing to go. But big changes have lots of moving parts--not all of them under my control! Things are still in process--which means we are moving forward, just not exactly yet. With this comes great opportunities for trust, surrender, aligning with Divine Timing and purpose--getting our inner  and outer house in order. Easy to say, not always simple to do. How do you

I wanted to share a few big things. It's been an exciting week for me: my video on Red Tent Summit aired on Tuesday. Did you see it? If so: Thanks for watching! I've gotten great feedback (phew!) about how nourisihing and unique what I offered is. If not, here's the link for access through the rest of the month. It's super short--5 minutes--and all the videos I've seen are good.) Then I had what I thought was going to be my last local evening retreat before moving out of the area. As the best plans go, it turns out

You’ve probably been reading about the changes happening as we pack to move north to The Balch Hotel--its a big shift after living in Southern Oregon 20 years. The realization of a deeply felt vision.   I've heard similar versions from many. Some that are close and yet, so far.   As we’ve stepped into making this vision a reality so many things could have gone wrong—and some did.   Yet it’s unfolding in a perfection and timing that we can’t even see right now. (Translation: this isn’t all neat and tidy yet. Big parts are still moving around.)
