autumn

This last week has been full of rain and wind. My yard is blanketed in colorful leaves and the grey skies have been amplifying the autumnal hues of trees. 
Here in America we are about to celebrate Thanksgiving. 

What are you grateful for?

Every year as I practice my gratitude birthday countdown I rediscover how many things I am truly grateful for. And I recognize that this in turn shifts the lens through which I am seeing the world. 
I feel softer and more compassionate.
The ever present allies of awe and wonder become more vibrant. 
My heart feels a little more tender (but in that good way).

What are you grateful for?

During a time of year that can be festive and fun, or loaded with family drama and baggage, or lonely and isolating, or….well it can be a lot of things, I find it helpful to dig my roots into the earth and tap into that energy of gratitude. 
Even in my darkest moments I can always find at least one thing I feel grateful for. And that one thing often leads to another and another. 

So I ask one more time, what is it you are grateful for? (it’s ok to start small)

Over the last couple of weeks I have been hosting the Sacred Self Care as Sanctuary class and through this I am reminded again about daily intentional magic and the power this has. Whether it’s a gratitude practice or divination, altar magic or journaling, a daily practice becomes a centering force in our bodies, our psyche and our craft. 

I have been reminded about how important staying connected to my center is. And how this can be the guiding light in the decisions I make, in evaluating my sense of obligation vs. desire and in staying true to myself. 
I invite you to choose one simple intentional practice and let this be a daily touchstone in the hustle and bustle. 
A daily reminder of your magic. 
A calling back to center.

Flooded inboxes

In the coming days your inbox will be flooded with emails, for black Friday and Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday. 

And yes, I will in fact have an email or two in the mix. 
And yes, I will be opening registration and offering discounts on a couple of programs/offerings as well as a discount on some planners, books and journals. 

But also tucked into those emails will be a link to download your annual December magical countdown to the new year calendar. 
This is a free calendar that offers daily suggestions to bring a little magic into everyday of December. 
I will also be posting in the Facebook group daily with reminders of the suggestions and invitations to share about your experience with them. 

I look forward to exploring this practice with you!
