Are You Measuring Your Work With The Wrong Yardstick?

2022-11-08T19:10:20+00:00

“This is a ministry not a business.” I heard these words clearly from Mary Magdalene one morning, as I was coming out of meditation and prayer. Let me share the context for this inspiration. As an author, art therapist and spiritual coach I’ve finally begun seeing a sustainable way to supporting women in empowered living through embodiment of the Sacred Feminine through my book, The Magdalene Path. It’s taken 8 years and a lot of investment and wrong turns to find an aligned path. But dismantling internalized patriarchal programming takes a while (even for me) and I had a recent

The Struggle In So Many Hearts Right Now

2022-10-03T20:58:10+00:00

During my retreat, I discovered that many of us are feeling off, adrift, & discontented in the world. (It wasn’t just me!?) We’re in a real moment. Many are struggling to find what or who we want to be now, after the disruption and chaos of the pandemic, in the midst of various global political and climate crisis. It’s a period of disruption as we see so many systems start to deconstruct. It’s no surprise yet its easy to forget, too. It’s human nature to want to cling to or try to duct tape those structures back together. Even though

What I Discovered on Retreat Surprised Me

2022-09-29T19:55:18+00:00

When I conjured the idea of time away, I thought of pilgrimage. Time to rest and replenish. I had things in my heart and soul that needed sorting, for a long time. Europe was not my destination. What far flung mystical locales were within driving distance? A list was started. Then abandoned. I did what was easy. Not exotic. Just soul satisfying--I hoped. I cried leaving, yet I knew I needed to do it. I was nervous about traveling alone. (Most good/real adventures require courage. Writing and publishing The Magdalene Path sure did!) I made a loose plan: beautiful places,

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

How I Re-Discovered My Soul Inspired Life

2022-09-15T20:58:21+00:00

I just finished a month long sojourn: a sacred pause, retreat, or odyssey. “What?” you might ask, “How can you leave for so long?” Well, it’s been necessary. Like many in this post-pandemic world, I’ve had life situations that I needed to get clarity and new perspective on. Vague discontent, malaise, exhaustion. Maybe you can relate. It’s a huge gift to take this time away. Here’s the secret of all pilgrimages and sabbaticals: it’s not all glamour. It’s been glorious…and, hard. Sure, you might visit glorious sites, with awesome Insta-worthy experiences, but these journeys of soul are initiations, with portals to

Finding a New Way

2022-07-15T21:09:53+00:00

It's been a struggle lately. Moments of beauty, joy and gratitude flanked by bad news, roiling emotions, & worrisome thoughts. How do we bear it? There are no platitudes, no spiritual bypass to endure this stretch, this ache in the heart of humanity. So much feels so old, decaying,  with expired use-by dates. As this old paradigm is dying, out dated parts of our lives are coming back for review and reclamation. Hard stuff. Even though we want the better version our lives, change is challenging. And the Dalai Lama famously quoted, "The world will be saved by western women."

Slow the F Down, Sister

2022-04-18T21:37:37+00:00

If you’re like me, you move through the world pretty quickly. You get a lot done, you have ideas and goals that you achieve, and you’re managing many tasks and ideas at one time. (At least ideally.) That’s not a bad thing, and in fact our culture has rewarded us for this way of being. But sometimes it doesn’t work so great huh? It can lead to chronic fatigue. Waves of exhaustion, injury, unhappiness, and burnout. I recently went through a time that felt like racing through my life. To what end? It just felt imperative to keep up this

Hopes Spring Eternal?

2022-07-15T21:54:16+00:00

Everywhere we signs of new life: tulips, kittens, wild winds and big white puffy clouds. Threats of rain... and snow! It must be Spring! And I reach for it, as the old guard clings with death grips to whatever last remnants of "normal"--a group psychosis called "reality." I know as a white middle class woman, I've benefited from it, but still it needs to end. "It" being racism, environmental suicide, capitalistic destruction, housing & mental health crises, misogyny, sexism. As women we are charged to find a new way:  great positive change for the good of all. We feel this in

Recapture Your Alignment with Source

2022-04-18T21:47:18+00:00

Breathing in, at the end of my meditation and prayer practice, I ground and connect. Returning to my center and spiritual practices, to recapture my own divine alignment. The craziness of the world “out there” only mirrors the confusion and chaos in the collective, that’s being felt, and has been for a long time. But we don’t have to step into that. We can recapture our Divine Alignment and live harmony. Once again, this is a shift from the toxicity of the masculine gone awry, entering a deeply feminine state of grace. How do we do this?

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
