I’m up in the middle of the night, again (it’s been happening lately, sigh) and after all the Tapping, Rosary-praying, meditation, etc., I start to realize: I’m awake for a reason. Inwardly I turn to Mary Magdalene — my spiritual guide since writing The Magdalene Path — and feel her presence with these words forming, “Yes darling, it is I. I’ve been waking you in these wee hours because it’s so quiet energetically. I’m sorry to wake you, but we need to talk.” Uh oh. Ok, I wonder, what’s up? Mary Magdalene begins, “Nothing to be alarmed about, it’s a

Holy, Wholy, Winter Wonderland, Goddess...

It’s been snowing steadily since. I thought I’d get sick of it, cabin-fever and all. But actually I’ve relished it. Bright days cross country skiing in the back field helps and the view, OMG.

But for many of us it’s just too early, we’re not ready yet, still in the fallow time in the dark of winter. Now that shifts, and we start to see like the

It's a time of great change and transition, from what all I see & hear. One of the things I love about women's temple time, is we get to unpack and explore what's happening in our lives, inside and out. Out loud, into a safe space that supports our wholeness. What's Alive For You Right Now? Many women "speak ourselves into being." We don't know what we're thinking/feeling until we say it asked (ideally in spacious non-judgement & support.)
