For the past few weeks I have been immersed in the process of building a new understanding of my Self in this world. There have been so many changes and negative events pervading our media and psyche that I felt it necessary to delve deeper into my own Mind to find a peaceful space to rest.
Synchronistically, I was invited to join a Black Consciousness group and was reintroduced to the spiritual material that had served, in part, to facilitate my own awakening. I was not prepared for the emergence of old wounds as I re-engaged this learning and sharing with the community.
I think what I am realizing, through new eyes, is that we are all...

I realized something today and thought I would share it. I am always curious about the experience of Energy Vampires or Narcissists as they are also called. They can be so cunning that the cues are barely detectable if you are not attuned to who you are and how you feel from moment to moment. They are seeking to feed from your light. It gives them a temporary high and sense of "power" over their powerlessness.
I was talking with one earlier today. The conversation was easy and mutual and as always I give people grace and words of wisdom if I am moved intuitively to do so. I also allow known Energy Vampires to just talk, because they are always...

SONG OF THE MOMENT: "Lay Back" by Kwabs
Its been a while since I've written one of these, February 2012 to be exact! Ironically its of the same nature, but a different perspective. I needed to "come out" of my head and get it onto paper... albeit digital.
I’d like to tell a story about pain, choices and learning. Today I was asked to meet with an in-world support group for individuals with a specific disability. They asked that I focus on “depression” and the impact of “wearing a mask” to hide the affects. Its always synchronistic that when I need guidance the most, it comes through service which is why I continue to serve even when I find it very difficult.
Before this meeting, I received a note from a “friend” in-world asking that we end our friendship. I’ll be transparent and admit...

April has been an intense month! I feel anxious anticipating the upcoming Full Pink Moon and lunar eclipse this week. I know part of this mood comes from being attuned to the energy shifts as the full moon approaches. My body has become accustomed to this and over the past year or more follows the cycle of the moon. I've come to know when it is coming without even looking at the calendar! :)
We've experienced so many energetic and spiritual shifts in the last 2 years and the Full Moon and eclipse on April 15 (3:52AM EDT) will mirror the same event which occurred in the SAME location in the sky last October. Then we also had a full moon lunar...

Greatest Fear of All
by Osho
The greatest fear in the world is of the opinions of others. And the moment you are unafraid of the crowd you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom.
Buddha has actually called it the lion’s roar. When a man reaches an absolutely silent state he roars like a lion. For the first time he knows what freedom is because now there is no fear of anybody’s opinion. What people say does not matter. Whether they call you a saint or a sinner is immaterial; your whole and sole judge is God. And by ‘God’ a person is not meant at all, God simply means the whole universe.
It...

Last week I posted this meme on my FB wall and decided to take it on as a challenge...
"I've been thinking lately of all of the memorable experiences you've given me. I feel like the journey we've had together is transitioning into something new and am excited about what lies ahead for both of us. I see you moving into a place of warm contemplation allowing the fire of your path to consume you fully. I encourage you to embrace that fire and allow the firm foundation of that space to serve as a safe platform to launch into the depths of the dark unknown. I affirm you are deserving of all that awaits you there and will watch, with joy,...

Song of the Moment: Love Will Save The Day feat. Miss Modest by JD73
A stunning portrait crossed my feed yesterday that inspired
me to write tonight. This is an example of the alchemy of the Self, digitally. I logged on, had the most amazing photography cross my feed and as I allowed myself to be absorbed into its artistry... symbols, ideas and inspiration began to emerge.
I contacted Giselle, who is a model in-world and had the portrait done to
reflect overcoming a difficult time in her life. She said to me as I inquired
about it: “I had this photo made because even when my life was turned
upside down I never missed my mark...

Goddesses Isis (Auset) and Selena step forward this Full Moon and occurs in the
astrological sign of Leo.
Goddess Selena is a Greek moon goddess, she assists souls with emotional healing and nurturing ourselves. Isis/Auset is an Egyptian moon goddess who assists with past lives, magic and healing. She says of this moon “Now is the time to seek out who you are; to reconnect with the soul within and to love, nurture and cherish that soul. To willingly release the past pains and let go of your identity attachments to them. This moon supports you as do I and Selena in finding who you are and how comfortable really...

As I begun 2012 I had no idea the level of loss and
heartbreak I would experience. Within the first 6 months I had attended 2
funerals, spent hours navigating the care of a dying relative and suffered an
unexpected and deeply painful loss and betrayal in my virtual life. I had heard
a lot about the Mayan predictions for the “end of the world” but only later did
I fully realize it was not the end of the physical world, but of the world as I
knew it. By the end of the summer I had lost my Father-In-Law and my children’s
bereavement around the loss of their Grandfather was a more difficult than the
experience of my own grief. Alchemy is a power...
