The answer is both! As you probably know I have struggled for many years with my dad’s death and the verbal abuse that I grew up in. I suffered fo...

Every week, when I sit down to write this newsletter, I make an assessment of where people are at and what the energy feels like on a social-cultural level.  In addition, I consider how the Moon work and the Solar work can help you feel better, feel happier, feel more vibrant, and feel more alive. I believe in timing and divine synchronicity-- the Sun and Moon can tell us a lot about what time it is.

I have been feeling really activated since the events in Washington D.C. last Wednesday.  It has been very clear to me that the stakes are high.  It is more important than ever to feel empowered, take action, and make sure that our light and our purpose is contributing to the greater good and the collective evolutionary process we are undergoing in humanity at this time.

I believe we are all here for a reason and that it is important that we contribute our unique gifts to the greater whole. 

Over the last few months, I have written a lot about the themes of pain, grief, sadness, limiting stories, and the like.  In that time, I experienced a lot of emotions, old stories, limiting ideas about myself coming up for me and witnessed many of you going through a similar transformative process.  It is my understanding that this energy of flux, transformation, change, and healing is part of this time and part of a larger evolutionary process.

Today, however, I want to tell you what is on the other side of the pain and address the question, “why are we doing this?”

Today we celebrate the Sun!  It is the Winter Solstice, in which the Sun appears to stand still in the Southern sky (for those of use in the Northern Hemisphere).  It is the beginning of Winter and the beginning of a new solar year.

For the last six weeks (starting around Halloween), we have been descending into the Underworld and experiencing the psychic death phase of the year.  However, that is also a time for celebrating the harvest and giving thanks for all that the solar year’s harvest has manifested for us.

Self Love...one of the purposes of this Lunar Alchemy work in aligning with the Moon is to build and develop self-love.  As challenging childhood memories, triggers of our programs, or limiting self beliefs surface, I invite you to greet them with self-love.  

Self-love is a gateway to the soul’s expression through your heart.
