How Can Winter Inspire Your Creative Genius?
The winter season is a wonderful time to immerse yourself in the creative process! It brings a rich opportunity to awaken the “creative genius within” by exploring the gifts that are found in nature’s darkness. It allows us to reflect on our personal and creative journeys, taking a closer look at who we are – underneath the layers of life. By looking for the “light” – and knowing that it’s there, somewhere, waiting to be discovered – we can reach a place where our personal reflection begins to shed its own light. It’s a time to ponder where we’ve been on our creative journey, how we got to where we are now – and where to go from here. It’s an opportunity to explore new ways of…

Being Under the Influence of a Full Flower Moon
For the past few days, we’ve been under the influence of a full flower moon. You may be sensing an “inner blooming” – like petals of a flower unfolding, with the various effects transcending into every part of your life – personally, professionally and creatively. Maybe you’re experiencing gentle nudges out of your comfort zone? Perhaps you’re being guided toward creating big shifts in your life? It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes by well-known journal writer and novelist, Anais Nin. What intentions are being unearthed in you – bringing you to the Flower Moon’s bloom? What is ready to be seen in full moon light? These are lovely questions to bring into next month’s Moonlight Journaling Retreat – where we’ll be dabbling with…

Finding Your Story in the Holy Wild
Can you imagine stepping into the wildness of who you are, claiming your deepest essence and honoring your life story while spiritually connecting to nature’s elements? As a certified creativity and self-empowerment coach, I create safe and sacred space for highly-creative and spiritually-minded women who are ready to discover, empower, and activate their authentic voice and bring it into light – which is why I’ve invited author Danielle Dulsky to join me on my blog today. Her provocative new book, Holy Wild invites you to create your own spiritual path based on often-suppressed ancient principles and contemporary practices. Using the elements (earth, water, fire, air, ether) rather than traditional patriarchal hierarchies, this “holy book” is designed to connect each individual to their universal — but…

Finding Light in the Darkness
Like the moon, we all go through phases in our lives. We have ups and downs, we go forward and backward – and sometimes we seem to circle back around. We may hide behind the clouds or peek from beneath the clouds. But in the midst of what can feel like a blackout, when we are open to making a connection with our authentic self, we can get to a point where we’re able to beam with full light. During a new moon phase, the sky is completely black, with the exception of little sparkles of light in the form of stars. It’s the point in every month when the moon takes a retreat and begins to grow again, redoubling her light and reflecting new…

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. It also marks an ideal time for…
