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.)  

As I pack to move to The Balch Hotel its a mixed blessing. The realization of a long-held vision. And its a big shift after living in Southern Oregon 20 years. An enormous reaching and releasing. Joy mixed with bursts of panic and streams of tears. A dream I didn't dare speak (Do you have any of those??) I want to share this precarious moment with you. This vision we've had--to own a historic, charming hotel we could have retreats at, in a natural setting but near urban population--could be anyone's dream. I've heard it from many. I know if

In recent months I've alluded to some changes coming in what I'm doing. They are here. And they are BIG. While I'll still be sharing The Magdalene Path book--to rejuvenate your weary overworked overwhelmed self by activating the beauty, wisdom and sensual aliveness of your Feminine Soul--my venue for doing it is changing BIG TIME. We are just finalizing details, but here's the latest: March 1 my husband and I will move north to the Columbia Gorge in Oregon, to own and operate the historic Balch Hotel. (You can see more about it here.) Its a momentous change since I've

Dear One ~ What messages did your mother give you about being a Woman? ~ What messages are you offering your daughter, or son, about being a Woman? ~ What legacy would you like to pass-on Today's Girls?

I've been on a Guadalupe kick ever since I used this photo in a newsletter earlier in the month. (Its from a photo I took at a grave outside of Tupac, Arizona. I'm so taken with all the flowers and frivolity of it. Clearly devotional.) The image stayed with me. And my home is filled with Her. And I hear this from others--mostly non-Christians. I got curious. What's the story here?   Then a book jumped in my arms at the library, so I started researching. (I can take a hint!) And She drew me deeper. Her Story (Official Version) I
