A wink from a Rainbow: Honoring Kristen’s Spirit

When people die, they leave this earthly plane. I believe some of their energy remains. We can connect with their energy. We receive signs and signals from them all the time if we’re open to it.

So often, we try to intellectualize why something appeared or happened.

What if we let go of needing to know? What if we trusted that when we see a butterfly and think of our grandmother, it’s a sign or a wink from her spirit? Or when you’re thinking of your deceased mother and you see a cardinal (which she told you she’d come back as), you allow yourself to feel that wink, that hug, that love, that connection?

Unlocking the Magic of Music Meditation: A Healing Practice to Move Energy and Emotions

Music meditation is a practice of pausing, breathing, and allowing music to wash over you, creating space for messages, medicine, and magic to emerge. It’s an invitation to immerse yourself in sound and let it guide you inward, helping you connect with yourself on a deeper level.

What makes music meditation special is its flexibility—you can listen while lying down, sitting, walking in nature, driving in the car or even doing the dishes. The key is the intention you set: to allow the music to move through you and receive what it’s offering.

The Magic of Fridays: Reclaiming the Day of the Goddess

Something inside me stirred like an ancient knowing being reawakened. Of course, it was! This was early on in my spiritual journey, long before I dove headfirst into the sacred pool of Goddess archetypes and their healing medicine.

I’d never quite connected with the idea of God in the traditional, patriarchal way it was taught to me by my Jewish mom, Catholic dad, Sunday school, movies, and society. But when I began exploring Goddess energy in my 30s, it hit me deeply. I felt it wake up within me—this primal connection to the divine feminine as if my bones were buzzing with recognition.

And now, to top it off, my favorite day of the week—FRIDAY—was infused with Goddess energy. I couldn’t have loved it more!

The Day the Hornet Died...

Each twitching wing movement felt like an acknowledgment of the natural cycle—of dying, weaving itself into the alchemy of autumn. A sacred honoring of my loved ones, and all those who have gone through this process, across time and space.

The hornet lay on the outdoor rug, and I sensed it needed energy. I tuned in, and it became clear: the branch from the tree in the fairy garden, full of support and love, was meant to help the hornet’s transition. I placed it gently above the little creature. The energy shifted, and I felt its gratitude as tears quietly fell down my cheeks.

13 ways to celebrate divine feminine energy on Friday the 13th

Long before patriarchal times, Friday the 13th was the day of the Goddess—a time to honor cycles of creation, death, and rebirth. Friday was named for the Norse Goddesses Frigga/Freya, making Friday the day of the Goddess. When it falls on the 13th, it’s vibrant with Divine Feminine energy. The number 13 is sacred, representing the 13 moon cycles and the 13 times the average woman bleeds in one year. It’s linked to creation, fertility, and transformation.

So, instead of seeing today as unlucky, I invite you to tap into its potent energy to dream, manifest, and nourish your soul, beautiful Goddess.

Back to School Madness & Sacred Intentions

With all the rushing to get your kids ready, maybe you're still holding anxiety from last year. Maybe you’re trying to balance everything and your temper is short. Maybe you're wondering how you’ll get everyone where they need to be on time or worrying about the struggles your kiddo might face this year. Maybe you’re feeling pressure to “keep up” with the moms who make it all look so easy.

Wherever you are, I invite you to pause, slow down, and breathe…

FEEL it, MOVE it, RELEASE it, heal it...

It’s amazing how much we can learn from our children AND how beautifully we can re-parent ourselves when we leave shame and judgement behind. Awareness is the key!

ALL parents feel their kids emotions to some degree, if you’re a highly sensitive empathic parent like me you feel it on an extremely deep level. It can be really hard not to soak in and FEEL EVERYTHING your kid is feeling. That can be overwhelming and intense. So naturally when anger and other heavy emotions rise you want to shift the energy quickly. Instead PAUSE, BREATHE and remember that emotions are energy in motion and the only way to heal is to feel and move that energy through the body! You got this!

Release, Release, Release...

Ever since childhood my emotions were shut down. I was told I was too dramatic, over emotional and just too much. I was always told not to cry, to just be happy and that it could always be worse. I spent a lifetime trying to fit into a non-emotional box.

It took years of anxiety, depression, illness, loss, grief and cancer to show me the importance of sitting with and feeling my emotions. And just how essential it was to let them rise and RELEASE them.

Signs, messages and a ritual for momma...

My momma loved roses. She loved all flowers, really. I remember when I was younger it was daisies she favored. I’d buy them for her on Mother’s Day. They were the flowers I chose to lay on her casket before she was buried. They made her happy.

She worked at a garden nursery when I was young. Years later her back yard was an outdoor oasis. The pool surrounded by gorgeous blooms, bushes and garden chachkis. There were birdhouses, fairy statues, bird baths and a relaxing little waterfall under a tree. When you stepped into that back yard you were transported from a suburban/urban town to a magic garden filled with love and roses.

Don't be afraid to FEEL JOY....

I believe we get signs from spirit, goddess, great mother or whatever words you prefer. They send us messages…TONS of messages in SO many different ways: birds, butterflies, bunnies, billboards, numbers, songs, movies, oracle/tarot cards, conversations, tea bags…the possibilities are endless. Sometimes they bang us over the dang head with the same message in different ways because we’re not paying attention.

Spring Ritual...

Before my spiritual awakening was in full swing, before I truly began to dance with the goddess, I’d hear the word “ritual” and think…religion/bad/scary wacko thing witches and pagans do. Thank you patriarchy and Hollywood.

In studying the scared feminine healing arts, I understand the witch, paganism and earth-based spirituality in an entirely new, luminous light. I see the witch archetype as a wise and powerful woman and earth-based spirituality my remembered temple. The Great Mother, my beloved mentor and ritual, has become something I crave.

As the world spins madly on...

Yesterday on the dark moon, I sat in sacred space. I took some time to quiet the chaos, breathe and just BE. Recently I’ve discovered one of my gifts is to ask a question, put pencil to paper and allow the words to flow. A form of channeling I suppose. Are these messages from my own inner wisdom or an outer divine energy?

It’s a practice…

The world...life, it's all so heavy these days. I’d venture to guess everyone is feeling this intense energy. As a highly sensitive empath, I know some of us are feeling it even deeper. This strange and uncertain energy has put me into a bit of a frozen state these days. Freeze mode.

Mother Nature is my teacher...

As a highly sensitive empath, I’ve learned over the past few years that Mother Nature is an incredible teacher. We’re deep processors, we get overstimulated and overwhelmed easily. Studying the seasons, the elements, the lunar and solar cycles can really help you get to know, understand, and honor yourself on a much deeper level.

If you’re new to understanding your high sensitivity, I highly recommend spending more time in nature and creating space for quiet alone time. Combining the two is pretty magical.

New Beginnings...

Last week, mid-May, the very first peony began to open. They really are my most favorite flowers. Just when you think they can’t open anymore, they magically do. All of this is to say that just because our hopes and dreams might be put on hold for now, it’s all in the timing. Maybe mother nature needed us to all slow down and remember what it’s like to be a human BEING. We’re so busy, hustling to some imaginary finish line that doesn’t even exist.

A remembering on Mother's Day...

My wish for all the women that embody the mother energy…

the mommas, aunties, grandmas, teachers, guardians and special friends. Those that hold the energy of the mother—the sacred feminine energy that holds, loves, supports, nurtures and nourishes those around them—this is for you.
