Every day I wake up living into a creative and hopeful future that is mentally impossible to conceive but which my heart knows no other way.
The judgement, criticism and relentless hours necessary to stand in my truth are a small price to pay for finding a soulful path that makes my life worth living.
1. Homeschooling my son feels selfish. He's one of the greatest blessings in my life. One day he will need to rock this world with his own mission and I won't see him much. I am going to be by his side for as long as I can, even if it doesn't look like a picture-perfect homeschool video.
2. Partnering with Mark to source the College of Visionaries and Wizards is growing love and partnership through raw human interaction. It's the real deal every day. While my path of learning mature relating is often found through growing myself beyond immature relating, the traditional teachings of how to discover wholeness through uniting polarities in shared vision is my school of daily life.
3. I am not a martyr. Once in a while my ancestral Grandmothers give me a homeopathic dose of matyrdom to remind me how empowerment really works when I'm less caught in projection. Thank you Grandmothers! I see the self-expression you sacrificed to keep families whole, feed babies and be a sacred vessel of both sides of Venus: Warrior and Lover. Honoring your capacity and skill blows up my modern delusion that what I want is impossible. Thank you! I promise, I will not sacrifice my self-expression or vision in service of another's unconsciously. And, I am committed to being a Mother, Lover, Warrior, Partner, Community Contributor and Priestess. I am going ALL. THE. WAY.
I am a wild woman dressed in domestic clothing.
Don't be fooled by my pretty face. I have reached the bottom of the Underworld. I am ready to face my unconscious parts and welcome them into the heart of the universe that is mine to purify and make whole.
(In honor of the sacred cycle of the Planet Venus. She has entered the Underworld and will be invisible until February 18 when she returns as the Evening Star. As Morning Star March 2017 - until now, she was representing her Warrior side. As Evening Star she represents her Lover side.)
