Show Up, This Day is a Gift

Art, by Lorraine This dear woman has often inspired me with her kindness, her writing and her art. She always goes out of her way to find beauty and positivity! I admire this beautiful lady greatly. She and I have been "friends" on social media for a few years now. Lorraine is one of the reasons I still check in daily on social media. She is from British Colombia. I seek out her posts because they always make me smile, or think, or both! She is truly a dear heart and with

"We are All a Limited Edition!"

"We are All a Limited Edition!"

Image by Bansky These are strange and challenging times. Most of us have not lived through times like this before. They are times of great sadness, grief and confusion - sometime fear and anxiety. I have noticed that in my forty days of retreat from the world, on most days I have found more peace. I have savored the solitude but not the cause. My senses seem heightened. I notice things that I probably didn't notice before in my hectic life. I feel more deeply, see more color

As I Began to Love Myself

As I Began to Love Myself

As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth. Today, I know, this is Authenticity. As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody if I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me. Today I call this Respect. As I began to love myself I stopped crav

Artist~Unknown "We are calling the Grandmothers, Mothers, Sisters, Aunts, Daughters The wild women The crones The seers and midwives The mountain and desert women The soul summoners The water carriers The tenders and feelers of Earth The ocean women who are rising the tide The fire women who are ready to roar The girls who already breathe consciously with the trees and the Elders who choose to sing the song that ends the desecration of our world. We are calling yo

The Goddess and the Resurrection

The Goddess and the Resurrection

by Elizabeth Childs Kelly The Goddess Ishtar (image is also sometimes referred to as the Goddess Inanna). Photo by awsloley on Pixabay There’s an old, old story from ancient Rome — perhaps it sounds familiar to you. In it, a prominent young man, whom some call a God, tragically dies in the spring. His mother mourns him bitterly, as do his followers. Yet miraculously, three days later, he rises from the dead, much to his worshippers’ delight, and feasting and great joy follow

Well, Why Not?

Well, Why Not?

From Outside Magazine by Kate Siber She spent thirteen years traveling from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, often shocking those she met because she was traveling solo, riding horseback with nickers, and preferring to sleep outside even when a bed was available. In the mid-1930s, Ynes Mexia, a renowned American botanical collector, set off from her base in Quito, Ecuador, on a mission. She hoped to reach Chiles, a remote volcano on the Colombian border, where it was rumored the h
