When I say ‘happy new year’,
I'm not for a moment,
expecting this to occur,
for that is not possible…
a year must be all things.
Happiness must come and go,
like the tides and the winds,
just as sadness,
and all the emotions in between.

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the d
CLOSING CYCLES: 2022
One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through.
Closing cycles, shutting doors, endi
Love and Emotion
Love is more profound than emotion. The fundamental difference between the two is that love never causes pain, whereas emotion creates all the problems in the world. Emotion is the mind’s concept of love, which is conditioned by the
Let there be PEACE on EARTH
And Let it Begin with ME.
“The basis for peace is respecting all creatures.”

Extreme emotional authenticity, individual creative autonomy

The fine line between artistic flare & damn kooky weirdness..
We are coming to the end of another unique year.
You have a couple of weeks left,
to let it all go.
Let go of worry, what will be will be.
Let go of regret, what’s done is done.
Let go of anger, it’s prolonging your pain.
Let it all go and make way.

The level of culture
On the spiritual and cultural level, traditional matriarchal societies do not have religions based on a God who is invisible, untouchable, and incomprehensible -- but omnipotent -- and in contrast to whom the world is devalued a
Patience visited me
And it reminded me
That good things take time to come to fruition
And grow slowly with stability
Peace visited me
And it reminded me
That I may remain calm through the storms of life
Regardless of the chaos surrounding me

Surrender Is relief.
Surrender is strength.
Surrender means it’s over.
I have learned to love this space.
Walking away from confrontation, argumentative attitudes and bloated egos brings peace - it just feels better. And when that little voice in our he
I owe myself an apology
For all the times
I tore myself apart.
When I neglected my own needs
Lowered my standards
Berated myself
And put myself down.
For the self-sabotage
I continually inflicted upon myself
And the times when I apologized

Pause.
Curl this blessing
beneath your head
for a pillow.
Wrap it about yourself
for a blanket.
Lay it across your eyes
and for this moment
cease thinking about
what comes next,
what you will do
when you rise.
Let this blessing
gather itself to you

THE LOSS OF A MOTHER
Is an inevitable part of our life.
We know it will come around
and we know the day will hurt
but we are not prepared,
never prepared
for the tearing.
The tearing of a part of our soul
from its very seams
stitches pulled asunde
Big Lesson
Today it feels so simple:
we are here to take care of each other.
How could we ever forget?
As if soil could forget
it is here to feed the trees.
As if trees could forget
they are here to feed the soil.
How could anything

One Consciousness
God’s consciousness fills the universe.
Everything contains and expresses it.
The world is alive, awake, aware,
loving, and breathtakingly intelligent.
We each share this consciousness
though we wrap it in personal iden
WHEN WE’RE OLDER
When we’re older,
let’s meet every Sunday at 4,
in that cute little cafe we love.
Let’s laugh at our foibles,
our mishaps and then,
release our mistakes to above.
We can share our new wrinkles,
each hair that’s turned grey,

DON’T MISS YOUR OWN PARTY
You know that feeling, when you have daily cleaned, cooked and prepared for a big family get-together or party?
You bustle around doing everything and making sure everyone has a wonderful time and when you finally do get the

MAYBE PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO STOP GRIEVING…
Maybe they are terrified,
that the grief they feel is the last thing they have left of that person.
That if they move on from the grief,
they will lose the final connection.

Make no mistake, it was women like you, like me, who burned on those pyres for their ‘witchcraft’.
Women who listened to their instincts, who connected with other souls on unseen levels.
Women who healed, who loved fiercely and who saw what some e
