I admit, 2018 was awful. Although I committed to several significant events as part of my intention to further personal transformation, it didn't work. I committed to BIG events and paid big bucks for the opportunities. I traveled to New York four times last year. I'm still paying. I was convinced at this time last year that 2018 was going to be a great year complete with a career change, travel, and inspiration. Wrong. It got to the point that I lost all inspiration and was resigned to the fact that my dreams of a creative life were done. Events on the world stage seemed to mirror this depression.
2019 has arrived with a bang; tremendous change for the positive. I learned, during my master's degree program in Women's Spirituality, about the power of Women's Wisdom - let things unfold in their own time. For a self-professed control freak this was a big lesson for me. I'm still learning to trust at the cosmic level. And, I still have my very full time career in public education which can be quite challenging and sometimes very rewarding too. To my surprise, I'm getting ready for a local art show where my work is featured with two other local women in a show called Illuminated. Gaia Camp 2019 is almost at capacity and the women attending this year are epic! I'm attending the Glastonbury Goddess Conference in August with the Mt. Shasta Goddess Temple. I'm participating in a year-long priestess shaman program - last year I had no such interest. I'm making progress on my dissertation about Goddess consciousness, creativity, and community. And, studio space has been offered allowing me to offer mystic creativity playshops as well as a dedicated space for my inquiry process with art, creativity, and community. I'm quite delighted overall and quite taken with the fact that this all feels so.... right.
I'm noticing that something huge is happening in the universe - tremendously big changes are happening right now. I'm not an astrologer but I bet cold, hard cash that their is massive planetary movement right now. Feel free to chime in - what is going on?
Imbolc is this Saturday - really, my favorite Holy Day. Every year, I put my prayer shawl on the grandmother apple tree in the yard knowing that Brigid will be around on the eve of Imbolc to bless the shawl with Her healing energy. I will use the shawl all year long for healing myself and others. This is such a beautiful gift and an act of the sacred. Brigid is a Goddess of Creativity making Her one of my favorite Goddesses of all time and places. For the first time in a long time I care. I really can't tell you how much better this makes me feel.
I'm sending sparkly stardust and magical moonbeams your way. Brightest blessings to you!
Sincerely,
Jess
