Urgent Call to Mothers and Grandmothers

Continue ReadingI met Anne Baring about a year ago when Sheila Cash and I co-hosted our Creatrix Convergence on-line summit. Anne was one of an amazing line-up of women. As we were preparing for her interview, Anne and I had a number of conversations around topics about which we both felt passionately.
This past March, I picked up Anne’s book, The Dream of the Cosmos, and began reading where I had left off – chapter 13 (note that 13 is the number of the Goddess) – titled “War as a Rape of the Soul”.
If you’ve read any of Anne’s books, you know how compelling they are – and I was drawn in by her description of the addiction to war on the planet, the military industrial complex, and the urgent need to address the insanity.
Reading these chapters reminded me of a conversation Anne and I had. She shared that it is her belief that if the mothers of the world would just say “no more” to war – we could end it once and for all. I was so moved by the thought of this actually happening that I reached out to her to inquire as to whether she was aware of any such attempts being made.
Anne responded right away. She told me she thinks about this night and day because she believes it is the only way to break the compulsion to endlessly repeat the pattern of war. But to do so women and men would have to challenge their unconscious obedience to the call of war. She also told me about her mother’s channeled messages that she was in the process of publishing which warn of the dangers of war, and she noted the synchronistic timing of my inquiry.
We agreed that it is time to embark on an initiative to try to awaken the hearts of women to put an end to this “barbarous sacrificial ritual” as she calls it. And it must be shared with as many women as possible. So together, with Dr. Scilla Elworthy, we drafted the “Urgent Call to Mothers and Grandmothers”, which I’ll share in an upcoming email.
It was only later that I realized I had reached out to Anne on March 19th – Mother’s Day in the UK – where she resides. This was the first in a series of synchronicities that have assured us we are being guided to initiate this movement at this time.
As I think about my experience of war and that of most of my peers – we know very little of the horrors. Other than what we see on our news threads – the realities seem very far away. Yet it occurs to me that in truth the war isn’t just happening in Ukraine, or Sudan, or the Middle East.
We’ve all been indoctrinated into a culture of violence that seeps in through our phones, computers, and TV’s. Our children ingest it to the point of becoming de-sensitized through endless hours spent staring at a screen or playing video games. It is in our schools, our workplaces, and our communities. And because the ramifications are so devastating – we either ignore them – or numb ourselves by overeating, drinking alcohol, shopping, or watching Netflix.
The war I’m referring to is the war for the hearts and minds of our children and grandchildren. The war for our very souls.
It’s a war that is intensifying through increased violence in our cities, censorship in media, unchecked development of technology; in the breakdown of the foundational systems that used to provide us security including education, healthcare, government, and religion; and in the degradation of the ground we walk on, the air we breathe, the food and water we consume – not to mention all non-human forms of life – and our precious Mother Gaia.
I was recently on a Zoom call with a dear Soul Sister whose son is graduating from high school. She was telling me about the montage she was creating including photos of his upbringing. She was saddened as she noticed that the joyful smiles of his youth were replaced by a more somber countenance as he moved into his teen years. She said she felt like she had given him away to the world. Can you relate to this?
I do! Having raised two boys, who are now in their twenties, I lived the challenges of attempting to raise decent human beings in a world that seems determined to ensure it doesn’t happen. And both she and I had the time and resources to dedicate to parenting. Imagine how many parents around the globe struggle just to survive, much less provide the support and guidance their children need to thrive.
As proof that we are not imagining the consequences, the U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek H. Murthy, released an advisory this past week warning of the impacts of social media on young people saying…”Nearly every teenager in America uses social media, and yet, we do not have enough evidence to conclude that it is sufficiently safe for them, especially at such a vulnerable stage of brain, emotional, and social development. Much of the evidence we do have indicates that there is enough reason to be deeply concerned about the risk of harm social media poses.” Murthy added that “children have become unknowing participants in a decades-long experiment.”
Unknown participants in a decades-long experiment! Our children are guinea pigs!!
So why have we allowed this to happen? Why have we given over our parenting responsibilities to individuals who seem hell bent on doing everything they can to subvert our role and indoctrinate our children into a culture that has little to no understanding of the Sacredness of life? Why is the culture of violence and war still so prevalent?
“If there ever comes a time when the women of the world come together purely and simply for the benefit of mankind, it will be a force such as the world has never known.” – Matthew Arnold

Women’s voices are needed now more than ever. Your voice!
Be bold. Be Daring. Be AWE-dacious!
Healthy, Whole & Holy
Whenever we’re on a journey there are revelations to be had. And this healing journey I’m on is... Continue ReadingWhenever we’re on a journey there are revelations to be had. And this healing journey I’m on is no exception. In fact, I’ve had a big “Aha” moment.
Now I am quite certain that when I share this – many amongst you will say, “Duh!” – particularly those of you who are trained in the healing arts.
But I hope that what I’m about to reveal is new to some and provides an eye-opening perspective that guides you on your own journeys. Here it is….drumroll please…
The Journey to Health and Wholeness is the same as the Journey to Higher Consciousness
Yep! That’s what I’ve finally discovered. The steps I needed to take to return to health and wholeness would also lead to higher consciousness and vice versa.
Let’s dive into this. The path to health and wholeness invites us to focus on four pillars: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. The path to higher consciousness or mastery focuses on the same four pillars.
Physical:
To be healthy we are encouraged to eat right, take supplements, get plenty of rest and restorative sleep, and exercise.
On the spiritual path we are invited to view our Body as Temple and, therefore, treat it with respect and love.
To support these two paths, we might find a practitioner trained in Nutritional Response Testing to ensure that we’re eating foods and taking supplements that are good for our specific body type. We might adopt an Ayurvedic lifestyle or learn more about Chinese medicine. Perhaps we spend more time in nature, get a massage, or begin practicing Yoga or Qigong. All are acts of self-love that enhance our physical health.
Emotional:
We now know that one of the primary causes of dis-ease is trapped emotions. Early in life as we’re attempting to acclimate to life on the planet, we receive messages from just about everyone as to what is acceptable behavior. Which emotions are okay to share openly, and which ones need to be suppressed. And so, wanting to fit in and be loved and accepted, we learn to bury the less accepted emotions of anger, rage, guilt, shame, fear, grief, and more. And it’s the suppression of these emotions that can eventually lead to illness. So to get and stay healthy, we must find a way to identify, process, and release all trapped emotions.
On the path to higher consciousness, this awareness of emotions focuses on the energy around the emotions. It is in our best interest to process and release the lower frequency emotions so that we may enjoy the higher frequency emotions of love, compassion, joy, kindness, peace, abundance, and so forth. Staying in these higher frequencies more often gives us access to the higher realms which supports our ascension process allowing us to transmute fear to love, scarcity to abundance, dis-ease to health and wholeness.
Since many of these suppressed emotions reside in our subconscious, it can be beneficial to seek support from a practitioner who can help us access these trapped emotions. Modalities I have found to be effective are the Emotion Code, Neuro Emotional Technique (NET), and Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping).
Mental:
So, we’re doing the physical work and processing emotions, but something keeps holding us back from healing. Something keeps holding us back from achieving our goals. And that something is quite possibly the story we tell ourselves. A story that has been written over a lifetime by other people. What we can and can’t do. What we’re capable of or limited by. What’s acceptable to our family or will get us booted out of the tribe. And we can be so unaware of these stories – these thoughts – these beliefs – that they are powerful enough to sabotage us over and over again. Our monkey mind never lets up.
In the case of our health, we might believe that we can’t possibly heal ourselves. We have to seek out a doctor or other healthcare professional, and even then we might not believe we can heal. That we just have to live with this chronic illness, or pain, or disease passed along to us through our genes that we have no control over.
“The human brain is a powerful pharmacy that responds to the prescriptions written by our thoughts.” – Mark Mincolla, Ph. D.
On the spiritual path, we may think it’s sacrilege to believe we are human and Divine. We could never be that magnificent. Never be that powerful. What would people think? It’s so much safer to live in our old story, our predictable patterns, our limiting beliefs.
Until one day we wake up and decide we just won’t live there anymore. We discover that practicing mindfulness, reciting daily affirmations, catching ourselves in a limiting thought and flipping the switch to one that is more empowering – opens us up to a whole new way of be-ing. One that leads to not only a healthier life but to a richer one as we connect with the field of infinite possibilities and newfound freedom. We become masters of our minds.
Spiritual:
Lo and behold, on our path to health and wholeness we have uncovered some truths about ourselves. We have learned that we are not just our body, not just our emotions, not just our thoughts. We are all this and more.
We are energetic beings – Spirit in human form. So, how does our connection to Source or our relationship with our Soul contribute to health or dis-ease?
Many healers believe that separation from Spirit is at the root of all dis-ease. So, our spiritual practices are integral to our healing journey. Time spent in nature, prayer, meditation, journaling, and more, all lead us home to the Source of our Be-ing. Our True Essence – our AWE-thentic Self!
Not only are we meant to be vibrantly healthy – we are meant to be wholly and joyfully who we are. We are meant to express the fullness of our being and share our gifts with the world.
We are meant to be to be Radically Alive and Fully Engaged!
Abundance of Life Force Energy = Vitality
So here’s the thing – I’m not saying this journey is easy. It takes tremendous discipline, devotion, and courage to attain Mastery. But the rewards are countless.
We are the embodiment of our Life Force Energy and when we embrace this Truth we restore Harmony and Balance to our Body, Heart, Mind, and Soul.
Healthy, Whole, and Holy is who you are and why you’re here. It’s your birthright. Claim it!
Be bold. Be Daring. Be AWE-dacious!
Freedom Beyond Fear

Continue ReadingLast year, following our incredible online summit – Creatrix Convergence 2022, my co-creatrix and I had planned to launch a new program. But my gut and everything in me was telling me to “STOP”. It wasn’t clear why, but I heeded the guidance. In fact, I even went so far as to make the decision to close my business completely as I’ve shared here previously.
It wasn’t until year-end that I had an opportunity to sit back and reflect on 2022. And the revelation that came to me was – overall it was a really “crappy” year. I hate to say that. In fact, I don’t believe I’ve ever said that. I’m a glass half full type of person who always finds the good in any situation. But I just couldn’t deny the truth. And glossing over the reality was causing me harm.
Beginning in June, it felt like a relentless attack was occurring on myself and my family. One crisis or challenging event after another. So, I did like I always do. I went into survival mode and managed through it to the best of my ability not concerning myself with the impact it was having on my body and psyche.
In December, I was at an appointment where they took my blood pressure. It was uncharacteristically high. Not only had I never had high blood pressure, mine was always in a very healthy range. I didn’t become overly concerned and assumed it was simply a result of all the stress of the year confident it would return to normal once life calmed down.
In January, I had it taken again with the same result – higher than it should be. Additionally, I had been experiencing light headedness for about a month at that time.
Playing it safe, I made an appointment with my integrative physician who suggested we do some blood work just to see if there’s anything out of the ordinary. The bloodwork came back fine so he suggested I take my blood pressure each morning to track it.
That’s when things got interesting. I found that any time I went to take it I would become highly anxious. So much so that I couldn’t get an accurate reading. It was like being caught in a loop. The device I needed to check to be sure I was okay actually made me not okay. So now what?
This is a road I’ve been down many times. I’ve lived with anxiety around illness for as long as I can remember, having acquired it from my mom and exacerbated by the fact that my dad died of cancer at just 56 years old.
I’ve even done significant healing work to address this in the past – so why is it coming up again? Why now? And why this?
Easy answer…I got really stressed last year as a result of all the mayhem. I felt off kilter (lightheadedness) and high tension (elevated blood pressure). I get very anxious around issues of health. So, take some blood pressure medication and be done with it.
Hard answer…I got really stressed last year as a result of the mayhem. I felt off kilter (lightheadedness) and high tension (elevated blood pressure). I get very anxious around issues of health. So, address the underlying cause of the health anxiety at a deeper level than ever before so you can rid yourself of this once and for all and restore health, wholeness, and vitality to your life.
I chose the latter because, apparently, I love a challenge.
Here’s the thing – I tend to have very healthy habits. I eat well, take supplements, maintain a healthy weight, exercise, sleep fairly well. So many of the things suggested to lower blood pressure were already part of my routine.
I decided to double down on my meditation practice and began incorporating Yoga and Qi Gong more regularly into my schedule – also trying to be very intentional about slowing down and relaxing.
Additionally, a friend had recommended a book called “The Emotion Code: How to Release Your Trapped Emotions for Abundant Health, Love, and Happiness” by Dr. Bradley Nelson. I was fascinated by it. Yes, I knew that trapped emotions could lead to illness and dis-ease, but I had never heard of such an easy way to release them. Knowing the likelihood that I had boat loads of trapped emotions, I found an Emotion Code practitioner and began working with her remotely.
Here’s what’s really cool…the released emotions don’t just come from this lifetime so it makes sense that we wouldn’t be aware of them. They can be pre-natal (while in the womb), pre-conception (hard to even imagine), and from past lives. And the clearing happens not just for me but for my ancestors and future generations. Power-full!!
Although my health has not yet been completely restored, shifts are happening and the symptoms are lessening. Of course, I want to be healthy as quickly as possible. But I also know that if I rush the process I may miss out on a tremendous opportunity for growth and transformation.
I’m not alone in having deep seated emotions coming up from the subconscious for healing. In my case, I’ve named it fear and anxiety. Another soul sister is working on guilt and shame, while another is addressing loneliness and isolation.
Why? Why is all of this coming up now?
Because it’s time, dear SiStars. Time to heal at the deepest levels of our being. To break through all of the unconscious patterns, behaviors, beliefs, and programs that have kept us in suffering, separation, lack, and limitation.
It can be deceptive. Trapped emotions may show up as subconscious habits or ways of being. An approach to life we’ve always taken without realizing the detrimental effect it’s having on our health, happiness, and flourishing.
We can’t move forward and co-create the New Future if we’re held back by trapped emotions, lower frequency vibrations, and unhealed wounds. These energies are keeping us in bondage – preventing us from fully stepping into our True Essence and Magnificence.
Trust me, I know it can be scary to go there – to do the shadow work. I know it can feel like we’re just digging up wounds and scars that are better left undisturbed. But the reality is even if we’re not conscious of them – they’re there – wreaking havoc in many cases.
And when we have the courage to “do the work”, we discover there’s freedom on the other side. A freedom we may have never experienced and that we’re destined to remember.
It can sometimes feel lonely to be walking our individual healing journey that no one can completely understand because it’s our unique path. But along the way, in addition to the incredible support of my Soul Sisters, I have felt the love and nurturing of my guides and teachers.
On February 1st, a day known as Imbolc in the Gaelic tradition, marking the mid-point between the winter solstice and spring equinox, I had a wonderful encounter with Brigid, the Goddess of pre-Christian Ireland. I awoke early in the morning and while lying in bed received clarity that my symptoms were being caused by my fear and anxiety. By naming it as emotions I knew I could heal, I felt a tremendous amount of relief and actually felt my heart and head relax.
Later that morning, as I was shuffling my Divine Feminine oracle deck (created by Meggan Watterson) a card popped out. I turned it over and saw to my delight it was Brigid! She was there to assure me I was not alone on this healing journey. The card said…
“There’s that moment when you’re making your way through the dark and suddenly (after what feels like days, or months, or even years) a ray of light comes through to you. A lightening happens. Each step isn’t quite as hard to make as the one before. And you feel a great shift begin, as if now you’re headed toward something new. Something even brighter. Brigid is the essence of that first flame, that first ray of light. Brigid reminds us that the darkness never lasts.”
Imagine how your life will change as you expand your body temple to be able to hold more of the higher frequencies and operate from a higher consciousness here on Earth!
Be bold. Be Daring. Be AWE-dacious!
P.S. I truly hope you are well. But if you, too, are feeling the pull to address emotions, thoughts, or symptoms you’ve been avoiding, I encourage you to not put it off any longer. Freedom is on the other side of fear and you’re not alone – we’re in this together!
And if you’re on a healing journey I’d love to hear from you so I can provide support and encouragement. Just reply to this email. Sending so much love!! xoxo
New Year – New You – New Future
I love the start of a fresh, new year. Particularly when the last one – or last three!... Continue ReadingI love the start of a fresh, new year. Particularly when the last one – or last three! – have been challenging.
If you’re like me, when you reflect on the past few years you’re uplifted by the many joyful moments when you felt yourself rise above the chaos. But you’ve also been invited, or perhaps required, to engage in self-healing, overcome hurdles, and step outside your comfort zone.
It can be exhausting and wreak havoc on your body, mind, and spirit. Trust me, I know.
As a result, many of us have taken the opportunity presented by the lock-downs, slow-downs, and smack-downs to go within and do some deep excavation. Ask the hard questions. Re-evaluate EVERYTHING!
And if we’ve gotten still enough to hear the inner whispers of our Soul, we might be contemplating – or even implementing – significant changes in our life.
That’s where I am.
For the past two years, I’ve been hearing the call to take some life-altering, soul-transforming steps leading me on a new path forward.
To add fuel to the fire, the timing coincides with life changes for my entire family. My youngest son is graduating from college this year. My oldest son is moving from the Midwest to the left coast. My husband is retiring. We are selling our home of 17 years in the suburbs of Chicago and moving to the mountains of the Carolinas.
And because that’s not enough upheaval for one woman, I’ve decided it’s time to close my on-line business of eight years, AWE Partners, to explore a Higher Calling and Sacred Mission that has been nudging me for quite some time. I just kept putting it off.
If you’ve been reading my emails over the past six months – which, by the way, an unusually high number of you do so thank-you! – you can probably see the direction I’m headed.
AWE Partners was founded on the desire to teach women how to give, shop, and invest effectively to support causes that are near and dear to their heart. And in the past eight years I’ve provided impact coaching, hosted webinars, created an on-line course, wrote a book, participated in numerous online events, and co-hosted an AWE-mazing summit this past year, Creatrix Convergence 2022.
Yet, despite sharing all of this heart-inspired content it has come to my awareness that there’s something more profound asking to be birthed. It’s not coming from my head or my heart. It’s coming from my Soul.
And I’m not alone in sensing this stirring. You feel it too, don’t you?
There’s something BIG happening on the planet and we’re being invited to step up and into it NOW!
While doing research around my passion – supporting women and girls – I’ve discovered that we can continue to address our most pressing issues in the same way we have but it’s not going to move the needle…
• Health & Wellness
• Education
• Economic Empowerment
• Equality & Leadership
• Freedom from Violence
It all matters. But it’s not enough.
What I now know is that I have to immerse myself in Pillars #1 and #7 of my 7 Pillars of Re-Powerment:
• Re-Connecting to Mother Earth
• Re-Storing the Sacred
I don’t yet know exactly what this will look like or where it will lead. What I do know is I have to step back from running a business so I can dive deeper into the research and writing that will bring clarity of vision for my path forward.
Here’s what I know for sure. You’ll hear from me less often – perhaps once a month. And the topics will include the themes I’m most passionate about at this time:
• Rise of the Divine Feminine
• Sophia Christ Consciousness
• Energy & Frequency
• 7 Pillars of Re-Powerment for Women & Girls
• Co-Creating a New Earth and New Future for All
If this resonates and you’d like to continue to join me on this journey, I welcome your company. Please always feel free to reply to my emails, share your thoughts, and let me know how I might be able to serve you in the future.
If this does not resonate, I ask you to please unsubscribe.
What? Why would I say that??
Because it is SO important that we each become laser focused on our Sacred Mission and stop being inundated by information that no longer serves – even if the information is good and from a trusted source. I have unsubscribed from numerous email lists and backed off on social media significantly in the past few months.
Although we all can benefit from guides and a supportive sisterhood, here’s the truth… You are the Guru! You are the Goddess! You don’t need to look outside for the answers. You know! It’s already within you. You just need to be still and listen deeply for what you’ve always known but forgot.
It’s time to Re-member, SiStar!
It is an honor and privilege to share this journey with you. I look forward to our continued growth and transformation in community – and to the New Future we will co-create in Unity and Peace.
Be bold. Be Daring. Be AWE-DACIOUS!

P.S. Favorite Quotes from Creatrix Convergence 2022!
“Women are the most negatively impacted by the climate crisis and environmental degradation because of gender inequality all over the world. But one of the untold stories is that women are leading solutions and you can’t actually get to sustainability without them. It’s this that brought forth the vision of WECAN – a fierce and loving call to action by and for women leaders and their networks to accelerate a global women’s movement for the protection and defense of our Mother Earth.” – Osprey Orielle-Lake

And despite attempts to direct funding to organizations that serve women and girls, support is surprisingly deficient when compared with philanthropic giving as a whole.
With the knowledge that making investments in women and girls promotes a ripple effect of change throughout families, communities, and even entire countries – why aren’t more of us supporting causes that lift up women and girls? And what can we do to change that?
We can start by coming together to identify and support real Soul-utions. And that’s why we’ve created a powerful new global conference bringing together a diverse and visionary collective of women leaders who are radically transforming the lives of women and children and compassionately healing humanity and our planet!
You are invited to attend:
Creatrix Convergence 2022
Re-Power Yourself, Your Sisters, Your World!
Live Global Conference from July 11-15, 2022
There is terrific work being done on the ground to address the issues that keep women and children disempowered. But is it enough? Are we moving women from a life of suppression and oppression quickly enough and at scale? What might we be missing?
Can we really make an impact on the re-powerment of women and girls if we’re living under the old constructs and beliefs of a patriarchal, hierarchical society? Constructs and beliefs around culture, religion, politics, business, education, and healthcare that we have accepted as truth. Until now.
All of the upheaval on the planet is shifting the way we look at women and men, the roles we play, the privileges we have, where the power is held, and ultimately the imbalance that is prevalent in all sectors.
Women’s voices are needed now more than ever! Your voice!
The feminine naturally leads not from a place of competition, scarcity, and power over – but rather from a place of cooperation, abundance, and power within. From a place of love and compassion. But for thousands of years our voices have been suppressed and silenced. No more!
It’s time to shout a collective “No More”
- No more to destroying our planet
- No more to healthcare that doesn’t respect our knowing of what we need to thrive
- No more to education systems that don’t permit girls to go to school
- No more to economic systems that put greed above the common good
- No more to cultural systems that permit violence against women and children
- No more to political systems that believe leaders must be men
- No more to religious systems that fail to recognize our inherent sovereignty
We’re all connected and the social issues that challenge us are inter-connected as well. When we come together in community to learn, grow, and serve, we strengthen our commitment and increase our impact ensuring that we effect the change we want to see in the world.
Regardless of our race, religion, age, or culture – we are all women. We are sisters. We are strong, courageous, and determined. And together we will co-create a better world!
You can attend Creatrix Convergence 2022 completely FREE.
I can’t wait to see you there!

Your wait is over! Welcome to:
✨ Creatrix Convergence 2022 ✨
Re-Power Yourself, Your Sisters, Your World!
Live Global Conference from July 11-15, 2022
In this 5-day online global event we are spotlighting 30+ female environmentalists, healers, educators, business owners, activists, humanitarians, social entrepreneurs, indigenous elders, spiritual leaders, and evolutionaries.
Each will be sharing a Soul-ution or philosophy they are exploring or bringing forth to radically transform the lives of women and children and compassionately heal humanity and our planet!
The pandemic and associated shutdowns have had a disproportionate effect on women. And the war in Ukraine has likewise impacted women and children profoundly. As a result of these tragedies, along with many other global challenges, we are being called to step up and into our leadership potential to lift up women and girls around the globe.
For although we are half the world’s population, we are still undervalued and overlooked. But not for long!
“When sleeping women wake, mountains move.”
– Chinese Proverb
Despite the personal and collective challenges of the past two years, it’s heartening and empowering to see so many coming together with a common focus on co-creating a new way forward. One way of life may be over, but a new way of being and doing will be birthed from the turbulence. And it’s up to us to make that happen!!
We see this as an incredible opportunity to bring together women from around the globe who share the common mission of lifting up women, girls, and our Mother Earth at this pivotal time on the planet. The feminine voice as well as her compassion, conviction, and power are needed now more than ever. We hope you will join us!
Here is a just a sampling of the speaker topics we’ll explore during Creatrix Convergence 2022:

Transforming a Culture of Violence

Continue ReadingLast week, I had the privilege of interviewing Jean Houston and Anneloes Smitsman, co-authors of the Future Humans Trilogy, as featured speakers in our upcoming summit entitled, Creatrix Convergence 2022: Re-Power Yourself, Your Sisters, Your World. In the conversation, we addressed the culture of violence we have been living in for eons – a pattern of domination and oppression that has plagued the world for far too long.
It was not until later that evening that I realized we were holding this conversation at exactly the time of the horrific school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. An incident that has become far too common in recent years and for which we seem unable to come to a consensus on how to ensure it NEVER happens again.
As violence erupts in our schools, our cities, our world, we feel powerless to effect change – victims of a world gone mad. But we are not powerless! We are not victims!
We’ve been duped into a case of mistaken identity. Participants in the grandest scheme of “imposter syndrome”!
Deceptions are now being revealed as more and more of us are waking up to the truth of who we are. We are not just our ego – our false self – conditioned to play small. Trapped in a world of needless anxiety, unnecessary suffering, and cultural separation, competition and violence.
No, we are so much more!
Our True Self is a manifestation of Source.
Powerful beyond measure if we choose to believe it. Emissaries of peace, compassion, and justice. Messengers of unity and love. Called to lead the way forth to a New Future.
Since January, a group of Soul Sisters have been gathering once a month to prepare ourselves to step up and into our magnificence and onto the path of leadership. We have journeyed through a progression of themes to nurture, support, and strengthen our resolve in Awakening the Sovereign Feminine to…
- Realize our Individual & Collective Sovereignty
- Release what no longer serves
- Remember our Connection to Soul-Source-Sister
- Renew our Being
- Reimagine Sacred Impact
We will meet for our final session this month for the Coronation of the Sovereign Feminine. A chance to embrace all we have learned, shared, and claimed as our own. A chance to celebrate ourselves and each other.
For we are no longer meant to go it alone.
The Divine Feminine path forward is one of partnership and collaboration. Of empathy and forgiveness. Of compassion and love.
All are welcome!
And stay tuned for more information about Creatrix Convergence 2022, airing July 11-15. We have an extraordinary line-up of women who have heard the call and answered it. If you’re tired of hearing all the bad news, we have an abundance of good news, wisdom, and inspiration to share.
I know sometimes it feels like we just want to curl up in a ball, hide under the covers, and wait until the chaos ends. But, alas, there is no superhero coming to save us. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
It takes courage, it takes stamina, it takes heart. But we’ve got this!
Be bold. Be Daring. Be AWE-dacious!
Re-Imagine Sacred Impact
As we move forward to address the myriad issues presenting themselves at this time, what if as the... Continue ReadingJust when you thought we couldn’t handle anymore intensity, this past week saw the battle around Roe v. Wade take center stage in the U.S. As a result, half of our country has erupted into a state of anger, grief, and disbelief. While the other half is rejoicing.
As in the past, the two sides have gone to their respective corners to plot how to respond to what is seen as injustice on both sides. The wound is re-opened. The blaming ensues. The divide widens.
Those who would wish for women to carry on under the illusion of separation have achieved their goal. For if we remain divided, then we shall not rise. And this is a victory for some.
We live in a world of division. Where our greatest challenges are viewed as black or white – not gray. You’re either with us or against us – can’t be both. You’re on the left or on the right – not the middle.
The dualistic consciousness that pervades our society can only see the “either/or” approach. It refuses to believe in the possibility of “both/and”.
But women, in particular, have the innate ability to see another way forward
– a “Third Way”
Richard Rohr describes this as, “…the place of grace out of which genuine newness can come. This is where creativity and new forms of life and healing emerge.”
As we move forward to address the myriad issues presenting themselves at this time, what if as the changemakers, wayshowers, and lightworkers that we are – we consciously and intentionally choose a new path forward. One that stops judging and pointing fingers, and instead chooses to listen from the heart.
What if we were to listen to a sister whose views appear to be radically different than our own? Listen to her story, how she grew up, what challenges she faced, what led her to the decisions she has made and the beliefs she clings to so tightly.
What if we were to put ourselves in another’s heels? Imagine what life might be like if we didn’t have the resources we do, the education we’ve received, the support system of our family and friends.
How might that change us? Might we soften a bit? Might we stop demonizing a sister who thinks differently but cares as deeply as we do?
Might we begin to ask ourselves how to stop fighting each other and truly begin to work together for the good of ALL women and ALL children? To look at the reasons a woman feels so vehemently that the right to an abortion is a human right.
Perhaps it’s because we haven’t adequately addressed the culture of violence we have created. One that still permits – and no one is marching in the streets or protesting to end…
- Rape
- Incest
- Pornography
- Domestic Violence
- Human Trafficking
- Child Marriage
- Female Genital Mutilation
Instead, we focus on one issue – and one issue only. We manipulate it. We politicize it. And when the dust settles, we go back to our separate lives with a warped sense of accomplishment.
Anyone else had enough of this? If so, I invite you to join myself and many other Soul SiStars who are committed to midwifing a new path forward. A “third way” that sees the inherent worth and dignity of each and every woman, and the creative and life-giving power of each and every womb.
Let’s Re-Imagine this “third way” together. Let’s Re-Imagine the world we’re stewarding. Let’s Re-Imagine our Sacred Impact and co-create Soul-utions that are life-affirming for all humanity and our beautiful Mother Earth.
Divine Feminine Rising
Regardless of our race, religion, age, or culture – we are all women. We are sisters. We are... Continue Reading2022 is a powerful year for the Rise of the Divine Feminine on the planet. And you may be feeling the intense energies coming through as old, patriarchal systems break down.
We’re certainly seeing the intensity in the events happening around the globe. So please don’t be too hard on yourself if you’re experiencing bouts of uneasiness, anxiety or stress. There’s just not a whole lot of clarity right now.
Despite the uncertainty, I am hopeful that this time of upheaval and chaos, this collective dark night of the soul, is an opening to vast possibilities we may have only imagined. One way of life may be over, but a new way of being and doing will be birthed from the turbulence. And it’s up to us to make that happen.
Women’s voices are needed now more than ever! Your voice!
The feminine naturally leads not from a place of competition, scarcity, and power over – but rather from a place of cooperation, abundance, and power with. From a place of love and compassion. But for thousands of years our voices have been suppressed and silenced. No more.
The Divine Feminine is Rising and it’s time to speak our truth!
As Barbara Marx Hubbard said, “For the first time in thousands of years, women now have the opportunity to give birth to their authentic feminine “Self”, and to actively participate in the workings of the evolutionary process. The modern and postmodern rise of women into the role of evolutionary agents is an event of the highest significance.”
So how will you answer the call? What will you do? Where will you serve?
We’re all connected and the social issues that challenge us are inter-connected as well. When we come together in community to learn, grow, and serve, we strengthen our commitment and increase our impact ensuring that we effect the change we want to see in the world.
It doesn’t matter which of my 7 Pillars of Re-Powerment you choose to focus on…environmental sustainability, health & well-being, education, economic empowerment, freedom from violence, equality…it all matters! Choose a pillar and join with others to shift the paradigm from patriarchy and privilege to new systems that support the common good.
Regardless of our race, religion, age, or culture – we are all women. We are sisters. We are strong, courageous, and determined. And together, as Fierce Warrior Goddesses of Light, we will change the world!
Be bold. Be Daring. Be AWE-DACIOUS!
