There is a deepening That calls From deep Within A There is a deepening
That calls
From deep
Within
A holy invitation
To meet ourselves
In our truth
Without the pretenses
And the masks
The doings
And the goings.

A sacred call
To come home
To be at peace with ourselves
To ask for forgiveness
And to receive it

To be in ownership of 
Our bodies
To be compassionate stewards of our form
To be the tender
And the care giver
Of our souls

To be the best parent possible
To our inner child

To hold sorrow and to hold joy

And to keep showing up
And leaning in
With great curiosity
For this incredible gift we've been given
To live
In such a time as this

Oh how dark the earth As she cools I remember My Oh how dark the earth
As she cools
I remember 
My heart
Wrenching 
And breaking apart
My chest so heavy
Earth pulling me in
I walked the Valley
Of Shadows
And lost myself in her 
Woods
With no tools
For fire
For food or
For shelter
I stood 
frozen in fright
Suffering in madness
Swallowed by night
I met myself there
Hanging on her hook
Wishing for death
To bring end to my pain
But there in the underground
She called me by name
And asked me for truth

My truth 

Then, 
From somewhere
Came a flicker
then a gentle beam of  light
Shone down upon me
And warmed my frozen core

And then the sound of song birds 
Broke through the earthen cave 

And the smell of  blooming lilacs
Intoxicated me

And once more
Again
I could breathe.

I have been breathing ever since.

My 53rd Birthday I love feeling this age! My 53rd Birthday

I love feeling this age!
Going together Means healing together Not always a Going together
Means healing together
Not always at the same time or intensity
But always deepening
the commitment to honest reflection
And to personal responsibility.
To see
To speak
And to live our truth
With kindness,
Compassion
That what may be true to me
May not be true to you
Therefore
we commit to honoring our differences 
And focusng on our commonalities
And all that we have to celebrate and 
All that we are grateful for 

Together, we shall go far!

In the fullness of moonlight Our sweet friend took In the fullness of moonlight
Our sweet friend took leave for her next adventure.

In the fullness of love
Friends and family
She departed 

It is not a loss 
But a completion

With hearts full
We released her.

With tender care
We held the container

As she took her final breath
Upon this earth 
And completed her earth journey, with fullness.
We were there to encourage her
Onwards.

Well done, my friend!

Well done.

Its been a ten year journey With this book, first Its been a ten year journey 
With this book, first published in 2017

It has called me deeply to live by its guidance 
To "practice what I preach"

It guided me through grief. The first edition was dedicated to our young friend Alistair, who died just before the book hit the press in 2017.

The second edition came 2 years later, as the autumn season showed me a deep
Rooted fear of being seen... i journeyed with that old wound and brought in healing, and then that spring, I had my first ever photoshoot with @billiewoodsphotography 
And allowed myself to be seen, choosing one of her photos for the cover! 

Now, in 2025, the 3rd edition... we've come a long way! 

It's me and my daughters! Another great photo by Billie Woods!

With new art from Zoe Holyoak!!

My journey, following the healing guidance of the Earth, has transformed not only myself but also us as a family. 

Earth Journey is a road map for integrating healing, finding your grounding, and living your best life.

I am living testimony!

What I know for sure Is that the time of beliefs What I know for sure 

Is that the time of beliefs is over.
It's now time to be solid in what we know.

Welcome to the Age of Aquarius 

What am I certain of?

First and foremost, I know that I am a Woman.
I have birthed 2 children
I am a mother.

I know that the Moon has a physical and psychological impact on me.

I know that my body is continually changing 
And it will never be the same as it once was.

I know that Spring follows Winter.
Guaranteed 
Without doubt
Consistently 
Reliably 

I know that we all are born from a womb.

I know that time moves faster than we wish.

That children become adults.

That wrinkles, spots, and softening skin are signs of experience.

I know that I will die one day, and the state of the world will be as irrelevant to my joy then as it is now.
Virgo in my 10th House This past year, I devoted Virgo in my 10th House

This past year, I devoted myself to observation.

I took a seat deep within and watched
As my inner Vasilissa gave way
To my inner Baba Yaga.

I saw how much residency my 30-year-old self
Still demanded,

When I asked, show me where my limits are
She came full force: comparing, judging, critical,
Self doubting, wounded.

I watched as Baba allowed her her tantrums, her fist punching, her screams gor attention....

Just as I have watched teen age daughters become young women...

Baba was calm, quiet, still.... waiting for Vasa to run out of steam, to realize her time has passed, for her to reach exhaustion, for her to stop fighting, grasping, and demanding.

Baba didn't comfort or coddle. She didn't affirm or reassure her. She just waited.

Waited for the fight to be over.

Going to #earthdaughtersfestival this year was a deep journey to meet these 2 within myself.

The 30 year old meeting the 50 year old and realizing that they are not enemies. They are relay runners on the same course, and its time to pass the torch.

I observe my inner Baba, she is gently taking the reigns now.

And I feel the difference. I see the difference.

The struggle is over, and the storm has subsided.

I step into 53 wisened, embodied, calm, and grounded with grace and ease.

Limitlessness.

A Lanternnin the Dark
A week away From a complete turn of the Wheel I a A week away 
From a complete turn of the Wheel
I am reflecting

This journey towards Crone
From Queen to Empress
Is a true reckoning 

I am sorting the seeds
And finding comfort in the process as
with grace and ease, I am aging.

And i am settling into this transition 
As heat flushes through my body
A shedding of the skin

I am cocooning 

And it's going to take time
Perhaps many turns of the Wheel
Before I am ready

To be fully free.

31° feels like 34 The evening sun is melting liq 31° feels like 34

The evening sun is melting liquid
Hot honey
Swallowing everything in its fire heat
The woods are a glow
And I am washed in 
Blood red hues
The grass is turned from luscious green
To yellowed straw
Smoke and wild fire
Is in the air

There were harvested peaches on the counter waitin There were harvested peaches on the counter
waiting for me this morning 
Top of the list, right after coffee
Quickly ripening
Without apology

I bring the pot to a boil
And drop six in at a time
For blanching

30 seconds
And then into cold water

My fingers slip the skins off easily
My thumbs scooping out
The soft spots
Fuzzy slippriness
Juice running through my fingers
I think of Aphrodite
The Vagina Peach comparison
And I chuckle
As I lick my fingers
And resolve...
It's a beautiful comparison

Cutting out the pits
I remember the buddhist reverence for
Washing the bowl
 the joy of presence
In everything to be found,
Felt, expressed

And...
While transferring peach slices 
To a cookie sheet for
Flash freezing
dreaming  of the hot peach pie
I will share with the ones I love.
The laughter 
The joy

I can feel my heart stretching.
I love us! Committing to each other Even though t I love us!

Committing to each other
Even though there are days when
We don't feel like it...
Love over rides

And we show up.

We show up because that's what love does.

It is an offering of self
It's true and genuine care for each other
It's about not letting 
Any of us feel alone, ever.

Choosing each other first

Prioritizing what's important 

Ever remembering the African Proverb 

"If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together."

I am on the other side Of the pause Dropping into I am on the other side 
Of the pause
Dropping into a different kind 
Of flow
No longer pulled by the moon
I have aligned with her
Inhaling and exhaling 
As she wanes and waxes
Fills and empties
Darkens
And 
Illuminates

On my 52 birthday last year, I embarked on an initiation journey.
To acknowledge this threshold 
Between youth and age
And to step forward
Embodied, my mind in sync with  my body.
Empowerment, feeling ready 
Sovereign, Authentic,
Accountable. Master of my crafts.

I've been on the journey, holy moly!
And it's been powerful
I am learning so much about myself 
It's still so fresh and kinda hard to talk about
But im getting clearer 
Calmer
And the best part 
I am getting to know this 
Expression of myself
And Im liking her more and more!

Im sitting deep in the process

With little capacity 
For much else
I am taking this in between space
And time
To really meet myself here
At the bone gate
Holding joy in one hand
Sorrow equally in the other
I come gently 
To this crossroads
With grace and with esse 
I shall pass 

And meet my truest self
Awaiting me
On the other side of youth.
My basket For ceremony Tools for Temenos For lov My basket
For ceremony 

Tools for Temenos
For love to be woven

Feathered wing and citrine Wand

In leather bound 
A scroll of words to be spoken and heard

Amber upon coal in a iron pot
To purge and to amplify
With smoke and with fire

A chalice and blade
To share cakes and ales,
May you never hunger!
May you never thirst!

And 
A Brass Bell 
to be rung
When the deed is done.
