The mothering of art…
I felt so fortunate this morning to glance at my calendar and see that today I had booked a Spotlight Session with my beautifully wise friend Tanya Geisler.* During our time together we found ourselves following the red threads of art, artistry, free and full self-expression, and unapologetic creativity, as Tanya patiently, lovingly, brilliantly, helped me to shine a light onto all the places where I’ve been hiding in the wings rather than stepping into my starring role. Deeply revealing. Deeply delicious. One of these threads led us to the role and responsibility of the parent who nurtures and fosters a child from infancy through to adulthood, and the role…

Knitted with magic…
I knit a lot. I find it calms me, brings me back to my body, and reminds me that life is best lived as a tactile, tangible, felt experience. For me, it is a meditation of the hands. Consequently, I’m not the kind of knitter whose pleasure arrives in the completion, but more in the process. Sure, I like to make beautiful garments… fine soft red lace that drapes elegantly over shoulders, snuggly soft swathes that envelop in warmth and in love, close-fitting rib in cashmere, merino and silk that lay close to the lines and the curves of the body beneath. But what I love most is the feel of…

Loving the questions…
It’s later in the day than I had intended to write this post. And I guess that’s how it will be sometimes. When you make a commitment to show up for your work in this kind of way, you sometimes have to accept that it won’t necessarily fall into the schedule you had planned. The important thing is that you continue to choose to show up. And so here I am, having made that choice, showing up… The reason for the slippery nature of my schedule is that today is the day that the regular Goddess Guidance readings are sent out for the month. Usually they go out…

Time for something new…
It feels like a long time since I wrote here. For some reason, my feeling was that I had created a room of my own, and then somehow lost the key. So that instead of this being a place to write, it became an inaccessible realm where potential was locked in, and emptiness and silence ruled together – side by side. I have staged various quests to break through and begin (although I must admit, they were with only half a heart), but this time, it doesn’t feel like a quest. It feels like a very quiet homecoming. Like I’ve simply found the key after rummaging around the bottom of…

Want to know the truth about your goddess connection?
What would you say if I told you that the truth about your goddess connection is that it’s constant? That you didn’t need to do anything to be connected? That just by being alive in this moment, you are experiencing what it means to be connected? When I start a Goddess Guidance session, one of the most common openers from my client is an apology for not having better connected with their goddess for the month or year. They’ve been really busy. They’ve had their hands full. Their plate is overflowing with all the demands of their family, their work, their home, their health. And truly, I have nothing…
