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,

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

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

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."

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? Slow the F*

Surrendering to Now

2022-04-18T21:12:54+00:00

Lately it’s obvious (though I’ve been thinking this for a while:) What if we stopped fighting “what is,” the near-constant struggle to fix and change life in 2021, our covid-tainted intensity, uncertainty, and strife? What if we are missing the point of all it? (Remember the Great Reset? Did we get it?) What if there are (even more) blessings, as-yet unacknowledged and unreceived in our absent attention? What if there’s a better way to live that’s trying to peek through? Instead of fighting, can you let that in? Lately I’m knowing that pushing and driving mostly no longer works. Consistent

Receive Your Life

2022-04-18T21:22:59+00:00

I love this quiet reflective season. During these waning days of the year, I love to do a really thorough annual review. I’ve found over time that it’s SO helpful to see the year with a fuller perspective, so the lens is not my memory of the last few months. (I’m always shocked by the goodness that happened, in July or last March for example.) What I’m noticing this year is that despite our best intentions and efforts, things have not gone “back to normal” and seem to be highly chaotic still. We are not over this process that Gaia/Earth

Deepen Your Spiritual Practice: Rosary Beads

2021-12-07T23:15:13+00:00

If you've been around for even a little bit, you know how profoundly the Rosary practice entered my life and work this year...I've been passionate about sharing it with you. As I've deepened into the Magdalene Rosary, I've longed to have tools to bring this spiritual practice seamlessly into our lives. I've been finding the natural depth and rhythm of the prayer is enhanced by fingering the beads. The tactile embodied experience is luscious and stilling. I love gemstones, crystals, and sacred oils. (What's not to love?) and I love bracelets. So I've created 2 styles of Wrist Rosaries

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
