Flowers are budding and blooming, bees are buzzing, worms and creepy crawlies are munching their way through the softening soil.

Some women share simple rituals, meditations, stories, or exercises, sometimes we’ll hold hands [...read more...]

It takes over 150,000 years for light particles to move from our sun’s core to it’s shining corona. Once the photons radiate out, they reach us just 8 minutes later! How much energy is churning within each of us, building up over the years, just waiting to shine out and be seen, felt, and appreciated? What I’m feeling is that the hardest work is that of creating from within – it can take many years of passionate creative force to develop our dreams. Once we begin to shine, to let light emanate from us into [...read more...]
