I’ve been meditating on the peacefulness of this tree welcoming fall. Nature has a lot to teach us. The morning news has gotten a little overwhelming. The states of the southeast in America are experiencing unspeakable devastation. The states of the Middle East are increasingly threatening and explosive.

There is something magical and comforting when the seasons begin to change. Mother Nature has an intelligence far beyond our understanding and it still fascinates me.

Riding the wave of the fresh new year, we are suddenly three weeks into January, and there appears to be a headwind of rapid change. The sun is already in Aquarius, and even Pluto has entered Aquarius after many years, stirring up already volatile global situations. The past year of the Water Rabbit, in Chinese
As Solstice dawns and we look towards the heavens, the star of divinity shines bright. Nights may be dark but we are reminded of the flame within our hearts guiding us onward. Doing a take off on Rumi, I say the Star we are seeking is also seeking us. The Christic light which is symbolized

This Christmas season I am using my little cottage home as a vision for messages to the universe. I have mulltiple nativity scenes, angels of all shapes and sizes, assorted antique ornaments sitting on the shelf. A big Santa Claus carrying toys and a little Santa sitting in meditation. Some lovely gifted LED candles that
