purple hippo bike horn

DateWednesday, September 1, 2010 at 3:56PM

Reminder // September 2010Once upon a time there was a small blonde girl child who had recently received a new (old) bicycle. Her father and brother had “refurbished” an older bike for her, lovingly spray painting it with her favorite colors of teal green and pink (it was the early ’90s). The small girl felt that her bicycle would only be complete with one final touch. Something so unique that it seemed divine providence would have to be involved in its acquirement. And so, doing the one thing she knew how to do well, she asked one night for a purple hippopotamus bike horn. She did not ask her father, she did not ask her mother… She asked the one force that she knew without a doubt could fulfill her desire. She asked the deity that she had believed in for longer than she could remember. That night she prayed her solemn prayer. 
The next day her family went to visit another family, a family that lived in their prior house. This family had a child, a girl, who had A LOT of toys. This girl, at one point in the day, came up to the small blonde girl with a toy, she said, “Do you want this? I don’t want it anymore.” Yes, she did want it, for it was a purple hippopotamus bike horn.
To this day this girl, who is no longer small, nor blonde, still has an affinity for hippos. Though that purple hippo bike horn is long gone, and she can’t even recall where it went, she still remembers vividly the trust, the child’s faith of asking for exactly what she wanted and understanding that she was so loved, so cherished that it would be taken care of.
That small blonde girl, of course, was me. And as of late I have been revisiting all of those times when I have been able, in full trust and faith, to step into the power of divinity within and manifest great and wonderful things. This is but one example of countless moments when the merging of human and divine in my life has been extraordinary. It is these moments that I seek to saturate myself in, to understand the greatness that lies within. It is my utmost desire to step more fully into that power, and in return, to show others a way to do the same. All the world is ours!

 

P.s. This girl wonders, have you any stories to share of this nature? For her heart would so love to hear them and hold them in such wonderment and light!

when women circle

DateMonday, August 30, 2010 at 4:16PM

The Holyland // July 2009 

When women circle there is a spirit created that holds, caresses, sings to, inspires, sets afire every soul present. When women circle the intentions spoken are carried on wings of prayer and affirmed so powerfully that a velocity is created which heightens the speed of their manifestation in what we call reality. When women circle the world changes, vibrations resound, echoing the pulse of sacred hearts of love joined in unity.

I have been blessed to have been a part of two different types of women’s circles in the past three years. The first type directly influenced the manifestation of the second. The first women’s circle I was a part of was Goddess Leonie’s Creative Goddess E-Course. It was a virtual women’s circle and it allowed me to gently explore this new world of circling women. It was through this course and the sharing of Goddess Leonie that I came to an understanding of what a sacred women’s circle was, I soon found my heart aching for such support.

One Thursday afternoon months after participating in Goddess Leonie’s course I found myself sitting in my midwife’s office. Womb full of new life and my heart spilling over with my desire to be among like-hearted women. That visit, as the Universe would have it, my attending physician stepped quietly in to share in my sharing. She heard my heart-speak about what I desired, a circle of women sitting around a fire sharing stories and soulful words… She told me she may know of what I was looking for and we set up a way for me to contact her about it if I felt led. Later I found out that it was because I described in such detail what I was looking for that she knew she could not keep quiet about the circle she was a part of, even though, for certain reasons, she had not invited someone to circle for awhile. That Summer Soltice of 2009 I went to the Holyland and was part of my first circling of women around a fire and in a teepee. It was a life-altering, power-full time for me. I was re-initiated into my new global tribe. I was seen, held, caressed, sung to, inspired, and set-afire. I came to know first hand the true power that comes when women join together, and it is my assertion that in this spirit anything is possible. 

I have since been a part of many more circles of women, some formally arranged as with the Solstice retreat, and some happening spontaneously and organically as women gather for camaraderie and fun. Now, once again, I am about to join in another virtual women’s circle, which will last a year and is designed to support my personal growth and evolution in a holistic way. 

Goddess Leonie, a maker of “e-courses and meditation kits and workbooks and ridunkulously adorable babies named Ostara,” has just designed and launched the Goddess Circle, a culmination of all of her creative goodies which she has released thus far on her spirited Goddess Guidebook. These include:

  • use a 21 day movement, meditation and nutrition plan to help you feel radiant and cleansed in body, mind and spirit
  • awaken your intuition and listen to the wise goddess voice inside you

  • get to sleep easier & have divine dreams
  • let go of fears & find your inner power
  • heal pains, cleanse your chakras & feel cleansed & revitalised
  • dream up and plan out your year with a 45 page workbook and planner.

Goddess Leonie expressed that she had the desire to make her soulful offerings affordable to all, so in the Goddess Circle membership you get all of the above mentioned items for only $99, plus you are a member of a supportive Goddess Circle for a year starting September 1st that includes:

  • a soulful forum

  • any new kits and workbooks I create, including the 2011 Goddess workbook (priced at omg who knows?)
  • as many re-enrolments as you like in all course circles (usually priced at $55 per enrolment)
  • a year’s continuous access to the Goddess Circle, a private online forum for you to share your journey with other goddesses (weeeeeeoooo!).

    •  

    Let me just say, after revisiting all the different product pages while writing out this blog, I am literally vibrating with excitement and anticipation for all of this wonderful support. To have, at my fingertips, such ideal wisdom for exactly the journey I am on is amazing! I feel so blessed to be a part of this circle, to be supported and to offer encouragement for all who are walking this divine path. Furthermore, it is with the utmost gratitude that I say Thank You to my dear friend Carli for gifting me with this opportunity. 

    If you feel pulled to this course and have any questions you may find your answers here, under the heading of FAQ. If you have any questions regarding my experience, please don’t hesitate to ask! So much love and light to you!
