Secret Sauce for Living Your Divine Feminine This New Year

2023-01-08T02:17:57+00:00

I’m in the desert outside of Las Vegas Nevada, across from one of many military training zones. An unlikely place for a Goddess Temple? Then again, maybe not. She’s needed here. We’re in the beginning of a month long road trip, letting spirit lead the way. Since we own a historic boutique inn, it’s a rare slow moment for replenishment after a busy summer, autumn, and holiday season. (And it’s a perfect time for a getaway from Oregon where an atmospheric river of weather has descended. Think: wet and snowy.) Part retreat, part vacation, all about rejuvenation and connecting with

This Question Brought Me Back to Wholeness

2022-09-15T21:14:23+00:00

During my month long sojourn my primary intention was to replenish and re-calibrate myself. To re-find my own flow, rhythm, timing. To realign parts that were off and see what really was calling me. To do this, I was guided to “wonder & wander.” (No plan. Yikes!) The impact was phenomenal. Each day asking, "What do I feel like doing now?"  When that was complete, asking again. And so on. That simple yet complicated question has brought me back to wholeness. With subtle shifts, healing, and big insights, too. (In ways I probably have not fully reaped.) It’s returned me

Something Potent Happening This Month

2022-07-15T20:57:07+00:00

#MagdaleneMemo: I got a big download with an exciting/scary idea. (Most of the good ones are, aren't they?)   Each year, on the 22nd of July, Mary Magdalene’s life is celebrated. The Catholic Church refers to this as her Feast Day, but that may not have meaning for you or I. Think of it as a holy day.   What is important is that 6 years ago Mary Magdalene's honor was officially restored by the same political/religious institution that claimed her a fallen prostitute for over 1,400 years.   In 2016 Pope Francis corrected this grotesque mistake and instead crowned

Ancient Goddess Tale Revealed & Rising

2021-12-07T23:11:55+00:00

This time of year I'm always drawn to Guadalupe--the Goddess of the Americas, in disguise (barely!)--Her holy day in the Catholic church is soon. But it's taken me a while to figure out why. Do you know Her story? It's a good one! (And most of the best parts get left out!) Here's the super short version: Juan Diego, a native man, was on his way to town when a woman appeared bathed in light. It was a hard time, his culture was under siege. The Spanish had come and were wreaking havoc everywhere. He was not looking to see

What Mainstream Culture Isn’t Saying About This Time

2021-04-22T22:02:31+00:00

We seem to be in a time where the old ways don't work, as they have in the past. Planning, plotting, time and scheduling seems particularly amiss. While the old methods won't work, the new way is not fully on-line yet. But like all transitions, it's not always smooth or easy-peasy. There are gaps and glitches. Frustrations that what we're used to doing, no longer does. (Sometimes its not available--completely absent--other times, the old tools are visible, but not functional as they once were.) Either way, massive challenges and heart ache result. These are rough, untended initiations. Looking outside, we

Where is Your Attention?

2020-10-15T01:00:35+00:00

Sweetheart, we're living in a difficult moment. (You've noticed?) {eyeroll} In times like these, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, off-kilter and distracted. Right now, we're doing all we can some days just to stay afloat emotionally. (Right?) In the face of all this, our personal passions, dreams and goals can seem trivial--and hard to access. Those creative projects, dreams and sparks of inspiration that we thought we’d have loads of time for (maybe at lovely writing retreat getaways)...are getting sidelined. Do you have a book or other creative project that you can't seem to find the time/space to get

Find Sanctuary To Replenish & Restore Yourself

2020-06-30T21:19:11+00:00

Right now, we're all coping with so much, sweetheart. I know. We're all experiencing the same world events, but it hits each of us so differently. Plus we all have our own private challenges, that aren't part of the collective experience. And while the changes that are happening are good in the long run, they're not easy to navigate. All levels of our beings are impacted. Even though it's good that we're not "going back to normal" (which clearly didn't work in a lot of ways) it's a lot to wade through and adjust to. Shifting from unconscious privilege

A Remedy for Your Creative Block

2020-02-06T22:55:17+00:00

A wise person once reflected to me, “Writers write.” And it's true, I write all the time. Most of it never gets edited or published, but it’s how I process and make sense of my life. But that doesn't mean its easy-peasy. Even though nothing is more effective for sorting out thoughts and feelings--let alone direct access to your Divine Guidance! (which is how I wrote The Magdalene Path.) Same for other artists and musicians. Creatives in general really want to create, but often struggle to get the words written, the image created. Rearranging your sock drawer or organizing the

{Temple Replay} Solstice Deepening

2020-01-23T21:03:32+00:00

We're heading into the luscious dark quiet of the year. I wanted to drop in before we go deep into the blur of Christmas and New Year holidays to send love and a gift. Solstice is here and always so luscious for me. Always a deep time of review and reflection, completing this year and receiving the next. A pause. But for some it's full frenzy. I hope that's not you, but if it is...Take this time for you. You're worth it. To start the deepening process, we gathered for a virtual retreat on Facebook, Tuesday--a virtual Rose Temple

Guadalupe as Goddess: Hiding in Plain Sight

2020-01-23T20:42:34+00:00

One thing I know, is that history is written by the winners.*  And as I’ve studied religion (which is highly political), especially. And yet we each have the capacity to touch the deeper Truths, through our heart and soul. It’s imperative, to find our own way, apart from the maddening crowd. The practices I use guided me to write The Magdalene Path—and to make daily decisions about my work and life. (I honestly don’t know how people function without this guidance, it brings such clarity and solace. ) I’ve long had a deep affection for Our Lady Guadalupe, “the
