My intuition is an amazing gift from Goddess.  
It undoubtedly rocks.  hard.  

I didn't alway think it did and learning to trust my intuition has 
been a rewarding and challenging experience. As I grew to honor 
and trust the wisdom I was being given as a gift picked especially for me,  
I unleashed the full power.  My gratitude grew, I opened to receiving it 
and Goddess amplified more of this wisdom back to me. 

My intuitive voice has become a trusted ally in my practice of 
alignment with my high priestess self. 

I became an Intuitive Jedi.  

And while I haven't mastered moving stuff with the 
power of my mind (YET!) I can tell you from personal experience
trusting your intuition is an awesome journey of self discovery.  

Your intuition is awesome and for 6 weeks this Summer I 'm going to show you 
how to rock it for yourself.

I'm super proud of this e course because it is going to rock your knitted and store bought socks off! Intuition Boot Camp is designed to get you in touch with your intuitive voice so you can use wisdom you find within to live your best life.  

As we journey together through video and audio lessons, meditation and writing
assignments, as well as little surprises along the way, you will learn to take
actionable steps that will help you find out what your intuitive style is, 
develop a working relationship with your intuition and work with tools to deepen
your connection.  

As you work through each of these steps, you will grow more
confident in the truth that you really do have intuitive abilities and can use those
abilities as a bridge to connect to divine energy flowing within you. 
 
It serves as a powerful reminder that YOU are Goddess.

Summer Session begin June 20th

Registration is now open for 20 participants.

Today on Wishcastimg Jamie asks

"what do you wish to walk away from?" 

I have to admit it took a little time for me to get 
really clear with this wish because all the things

I was coming up with at first are rooted in what I truly wish this Wednesday.

I wish to walk away from those limiting voices and habits.  

They keep me from fully experiencing the Goddess given abundance 
I know in my heart is within me and for me.

As my word of the year EMERGE works it's magic on me, 
I'm discovering so many old tapes running through my head 
that contain limiting beliefs and as I root out those I've discovered 
they are tied to habits which no longer serve me my highest good. 
Fortunately I have some gray tools for clearing and reprogramming 
them but it is not an overnight process. 

And as I root out these self imposed limitations, I wish to walk with love and 
reverence toward those voice and habits that reinforce the spaciousness of abundance.

I want you to know that I still hear your voice sometimes 
when I answer the phone. It startles me when I realize it
was my own voice I was hearing.

I still feel your hands guiding me as I cook a meal to feed
family and friends. I still see you in both my children. 
And when the youngest says something super cute that 
I know you'd enjoy, I hold it all in my heart in the place 
reserved just for you.


There is so much love and grace in my life now
I wish to share with you. 

So I'll whisper it all to a dandelion and as I blow
I know where ever you are now, my love will find you.

Some how it will all find you.

Happy Mother's Day Mom

The Ocean breaths in
The ocean breaths out
My breath comes ragged and short as I run to Mama Mer

The ocean breaths out
The ocean breaths in
My breath lengthens matching her pace

Tears salty and strong flow down my checks as I release 
the tension of months being land locked. I dig deeper emptying
my cells of hurt and sadness until only gratitude and joy remain.

I breath out my brokenness as offering
Mama Mer offers whole ness back

I started to run out of steam for keeping up with Week In The Life here on the blog  
But I did stay with the project and completed taking pictures and journaling last night.  
This was a large undertaking and the burning question for me today is 
Was it worth the effort and would I do it again?

Absolutely!


Wrapping up today, I am swimming in a pool of deep gratitude 
for Ali Edwards sharing this project on her blog in such a way that 
made it feel do able for me.

When I looked back at all the pictures I feel like I got the essence 
of what my days are filled with right now; a mixture of every day 
habits, reasons to celebrate, along with family and good friends 
to share it all with.   

Since we did have some of those special days (my birthday
and my neighbor's 21st wedding anniversary celebration) mixed in 
with our regular days, it was interesting to just observe the different 
feel between what was routine and what was 'special'.  

I noticed the difference in the energy around how I felt about the day as 
compared to the regular days.  I found it very comforting to know where 
those anchors during my week were Monday homemaking, Tuesday and 
Wednesday karate, Thursday knit night, etc. 

As I continued to record my days, my perception really did shift.
What was routine became special because I was looking 
at it all with new eyes.

Taking more pictures than I thought I would need, I ended up with a total of 375 photos 
and 4 videos (1-2 minutes each) of moments through out my week.  
The pictures I've shared publicly have become mosaics (thanks Liz Lamoreux
for the great idea!) and the others I plan to put together 
on DVD I'll keep in my kids' family boxes along with my journaling sheets.

I'll probably share the DVD with relatives so they can feel a part of our lives as well. 

And now back to Project Past Life...

Wednesday I decided to capture more pictures than words.
I gave myself a photo challenge with a list of 100 different
things to capture through out my regular day.  

Here are a few of the pictures from today:

I ended up with just over 50 pictures.  I really liked doing WITL this way 
as it gave me an opportunity to see things a little differently.

I'll be printing them out on an 8x10 photo paper, number them
and include the list of what each photo represents in a sleeve.

Tuesday I didn't take as many pictures but I still did a lot of journaling. 
I found I wanted to really capture what was happening in the hours
in more words than pictures. 

Tuesday is also the day I spend a lot of time driving
like 4-5 hours during the course of the day so it's
difficult catching much day.  Here's some of my pictures:

My plan for Wednesday and into the rest of this week
is a photo challenge.  I have a list of 100 things to capture
from my daily life. 

And for my Thursday, I've decided to take one picture
(maybe a self portrait of some sort) an hour from the time I wake
up until bedtime to capture the essence of my birthday.

As I looked through the creative resources for Project Life,
I stumbled across Ali Edwards and her project called A Week in the Life.
I thought it would be fun to look back and see what a week of my life looked
like on the days leading up to and just after my birthday which falls on
Thursday this week.

Since this is my first time, I decided to focus more on the journal with
the sheets I downloaded from Ali's website than pictures for today.
Though I have taken nearly 70 pictures today alone,
I expect I may end up with loads more as I go along.

I'm using my phone and my Canon Power Shot A590IS.
I've also got my daughter in on it so she can help me get
some pictures of 'me' when my focus is else where.

This morning I pulled up the blinds because I was trying to find out which window had slid down during the night. We're experiencing some icy weather today...such a disappointment after such a mild almost nonexistent winter.

Below is a shot of my desktop with today's date, the forecast and my calendar...did you notice I love Maleficent?

 

I went to make up my bed and found my poochie baby still under the covers. Warming the bed is pretty much her job so I don't mind. She is quite a spoiled rotten old thing though!  I had to snap the picture pretty quickly because she hates getting pictures taken.

Here are some of my favorite bits of what I captured today.

I'm sure everyone thinks of their ordinary days as nothing special
and truth be told it's easy to document the special days because
they are special.  But the special days are few and far between. 
What really makes up our lives are those ordinary mundane days.

My intention for doing this project is to shift my perception about
my days as a reminder that hey, these ordinary life days? 
They are just as special and sacred as any of those special days.

The mundane days are truly sacred and worthy of honor.
