Oh! It's 2013 and I haven't kept you up to date about what's going on in my life.....yes, I've been out listening to my female ancestors.

Happy Solstice 2012! 

May you step through the door to the new world, naked!

What a great surprise!  When I got home last night from reindeer goddess training (that's a whole 'nother solstice story!) Alan had a gift for me!  He made me a log reindeer!  I love it! ... and him!

As we approach the winter solstice 2012 on December 21st we must be prepared for change.  It is the ending of one paradigm or period of time and the beginning of a new one!  What's coming?  We don't know.  Perhaps our greatest task is to give up control and learn to be comfortable in vulnerability and uncertainty.  What do you need to reconcile?  What needs to be left behind, what don't you want to drag with you? 

I call you to spend the next days until solstice in deep contemplation. 

Living your dreams requires self reflection....we have to make space in our lives for this essential soul work.

Dia de los muertos ... where does the time go?  We celebrated the great wisdom of all that is good, true, and beautiful in our ancestral lineage. 

As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters ~ Seneca

Contemplation of the sacred ~ connection to the ancestral spirits is foundational to grounding.  Sunday afternoon we visited the Indian Burial Mounds on the river bluff in St Paul.
