How Can Winter Inspire Your Inner Genius?
The darkness of the winter season brings an opportunity to reflect on your life’s journey by taking a closer look at who you are – underneath the layers of life. It’s a great time to turn within and write about your innermost thoughts, feelings, and desires. By looking for the “light” – and knowing that it’s there, somewhere, waiting to be discovered – you can reach a place where your personal reflection begins to shed its own light. It’s a time to ponder where you’ve been, how you got to where you are now – and where to go from here. It’s an opportunity to explore new ways of thinking and to prepare for a new path of travel.

Giving Courage to Your Inner Voice
Imagine picking up the cosmic phone and scheduling an appointment with your Inner Goddess to discuss the next steps in bringing a dream to fruition. During a full moon phase, the lines are clear – so feel free to ask for what it is you need and desire. The Full Moon gives us the courage to bring our true voice to the forefront.

Taking a Stand for Your Own Unique Voice
Something that I see everywhere in our world is judgment. It’s heavy for a lot of people, and it’s heavy for a lot of our kids – whether they’re the ones being judged or the ones doing the judging. Judgment stems from a place of fear – a place of feeling rejected or not approved by others. Judgment also comes from a place of “not wanting to understand.” It’s easier to pass judgment than it is to understand another’s pain or another’s lifestyle choices. This is where a gift of compassion becomes necessary. I often wonder where judgment starts. There’s so much that shapes who we are and what we become – that we’re often robbed of our own authenticity. We’re robbed of our own…

We’re entering a very powerful new moon phase tomorrow in the astrological sign of Scorpio.
