Be powered by pleasure, the wise woman way
Practicing loving and accepting the “soft animal body” of me, as she is, with her rounder belly, silvering hair, and age-spotty skin. It’s not a young body anymore and sometimes that feels sad, frustrating, and disorienting. And that’s ok.
The mysterious message I received
Deepak Chopra says that one of the symptoms of enlightenment is that “you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous.”
When balance gets eclipsed
When you are connected to your own Shakti, you make the frequencies of love, pleasure and union not only more available to yourself but everyone else as well, particularly those that may not have the resources right now to navigate change like you do.
🌸 Why your Shakti matters right now 🌸
This is our apple tree right now, raindrop-dappled blossoms floating to the ground with the spring breeze. And on the other side of the world, terror rains down on the people of Ukraine.I’m grappling with this impossible paradox.

I’ve opened the same drawer in the kitchen three times today forgetting that the contents have already been packed for our move. Each time I see the emptiness staring back at me, it makes me roll my eyes at my own programming. It’s an ingrained, automatic pathway to...
