I have been exploring feelings of vulnerability, growth, uncertainty, and the inspiration to move in new areas of experience. By way of contrast (feelings or experiences I consider unpleasant), I am more clear about the experiences I want, long for, welcome. And in the having of “new experiences” sometimes they feel unfamiliar or even awkward and uncomfortable; vulnerable.

vul·ner·a·ble – synonyms: unprotected, unguarded, undefended, unshielded, unarmed.

So considering these synonyms, consider the opposite; “protected, guarded, defended, shielded, armed”.
Is allowing yourself to be vulnerable healthy? 
What does “vulnerable” look like to you?

 I would love to hear your thoughts.

Reconnecting to our own individual divine spark.

Re-membering who we are and where we come from.

Bringing into focus our relatedness to each other
and recognizing the Life around us.

Gathering Women’s Wisdom is happening and you are invited!

Now that the holidays and new year are officially behind us, we are moving forward to the “art” of our making. The time is ripe to set our course for the months ahead. The momentum of all that energy of year end and new year has been subsiding and we are now ready to travel under our own steam.

I invite your thoughts as to the ribs of our basket; in preparation for expanding our circle. There are different designs used in women’s groups, and the intention for this one is to have a small group of committed women who feel good about being the ribs or advisory group that make up the inner most support from which the basket grows. The strength and integrity depends on that beginning circle. Having the circle be open to women on a drop-in basis is the growth of the circle. As I said previously, that is why only a few select people were invited, and hopefully that was communicated clearly if communicated to any beyond our circle.

So with that in mind, please invite thoughts and feelings to surface. Take a few minutes perhaps to sift and sort for yourself, and if you’d like to send me a note or bring your thoughts to share at our round table, I would so appreciate it. We are creative and are only limited by our imagination!

There may be things coming up related to the upcoming holiday on February 14th. If so, great! Contrasts bring clarity. Clarity offers opportunity to call in new creation into being. Perhaps we don’t need to suppress the contrasting feelings (the ones that are uncomfortable and unattractive), and we can see them for the allies they can be.

My thoughts and heart are with you.

When light enters darkness,
It doesn’t matter when or where,
It enters.

The only question is;
Will you see it?

Thank you for the light you carry in the world and your willingness to share that, now. We are living in interesting times, sometimes described as dark times. The environment we live in has complexity and abundance, so much so that sometimes it is challenging to navigate through it on a day to day basis.

We know much about self care thanks in part to the internet, and have little time to put the things we know into practice. If you are like me, there is also a layer of self talk that includes disappointment that I am not doing the things I know are good for me (food choices, rest, water intake, exercise, friends, recreation, responsibilities and other things I “plan” on doing). This sometimes becomes another added pressure or at least static interfering with my open reception to inspiration, guidance and innate wisdom.

My intention for this Gathering of Women’s Wisdom; is to create a space that interrupts the ongoing-ness of life for a reset, a check-in, and a remembering. I have been asking for an opportunity to gather with others of like mind and heart, for the purpose of growth, inspiration and support. This group was inspired by that intention from me.

Each of us carry the wisdom of our ancestors. We carry the wisdom of perhaps lifetime upon lifetime, not to mention this lifetime. I know, that each of us has a piece of the puzzle for a vibrant, healthy and regenerative community. I invite you to notice what drew you to this gathering of women. Notice what it is that you may have been asking for. This group will be the result of all of us sharing together like “stone soup”.
