Happy Earth Day!🌎

Reminded of my grandmother today who instilled a love of flowers in me. I have vivid memories of the pansies and roses that lined the walkway to my grandparents’ front door. My grandfather was an avid gardener who grew a variety of fruits and vegetables. My first fig was eaten in their backyard! My first cat, was given to me by my father when I was just 4 years old. That’s my first memory of falling absolutely and irrevocably in love with cats and eventually, all animals! And because of this love, my mother would buy me books and take me on library excursions to satisfy my curiosity and desire to learn all I could about the magnificent creatures inhabiting this earth!

Our earth, our home, our mother, let us honor, cherish and take care of her everyday!💚

Pink Full Moon in Libra.
The moon will not appear pink. It was given this name because of the pink spring flowers, moss phlox, blooming this time of year.🌸

Feelings of nostalgia and sentimentality may bring you to the past. A good time for introspection and self reflection but be careful not to linger on thoughts of what was or could have or should have been. Keep your mind and heart on growth and renewal, looking forward to what you are now creating.🌱

Note that the Apex will fall within two date’s, April 5th or 6th, depending on your time zone.

I believe this sums it up so perfectly!

However you choose to celebrate or not celebrate this day, the feeling of love, in all it’s many beautiful iterations, is the most powerful feeling, energy on earth ~ and beyond!❤️

If there isn’t a seat at the table, bring a folding chair!🪑

If you don’t see people who look like you in a space, then create the space for yourself - be the first one, the only one. Too often we hold back in life because we care about how we will be judged. Whether that is due to age, color, ability, gender . . . etc. Especially so in social/career/work choices.

So many messages swirling around us, blatantly and quietly telling us how we should, think, feel, act, react. How we should look, dress, what “milestones” we should achieve according to an arbitrary timeline, what material possessions we should have, where we should live, what we should eat, drink, and the list goes on.

Each of us is perfectly unique. If you are alive, there is a reason, and a space that is meant especially for you. If you feel called to a place, space, vocation - go! You do not need permission to be yourself or to create a life that feels amazing!💙

(Of course, while respecting others right to their preferences.😊)

Playing with Snapchat. Did they know?
Butterfly symbolism is metamorphosis, transformation, joy, lightness of being.
A caterpillar completely dissolves in it’s chrysalis to become the butterfly. The lesson of the butterfly is to let go of old behaviors to allow for a new transformed existence.

May we remember the joys, acknowledge and learn from our harmful behaviors and transform into a more loving, humane society.🐛🦋

Hey everyone! How are you all feeling . . . Truly?

For me, much has gone on in my life within the past month, and in the world around us - for quite some time. I find myself in daily practice of maintaining balance or regaining balance. As a Reiki practitioner along with prayer, meditation and my spiritual ‘toolkit’ I find my way through, but I will say some days are more difficult than others.
Also, as an empath I feel energies around me which can be a lot!😅 They are particularly heightened at this time. I will not name them all but rather I would like to assist and offer you the gift of loving energy sent your way. The primary method I use is Reiki which means, Universal Energy. A practitioner channels the energy through their body and out through their palms. Practitioners who have attained the level of Master may also be able to channel this energy outward through the entire body and mentally. This can be done in person or through distance healing.
What I’d like to offer (this is free) is a group distance healing. For seven days, I will send 10 minutes of Reiki to everyone who requests it. You can comment here or if you’d like more privacy, DM me.
Optionally, add a word to describe an emotion or challenge that is weighing heavily on your heart or mind. You can also name someone else you would like Reiki sent to.

Seven days begins Monday, 6/27. I will accept requests through Wednesday, 6/29 at 9pm PT.

No fees, no strings attached, just part of living my purpose on this earth🙏🏻💜🌱✨

Full Moon in Virgo ♍️ this Friday, March 18th at 12:17am PDT

🌕 Final full moon of winter! Two days prior to the Spring Equinox, Sunday, March 20th.

🌕 Also known as Full Worm Moon, Goose Moon, Sugar Moon, Lenten Moon, among others.

🌕 Begin to set your intentions now as the moon is waxing. A Virgo full moon is especially potent for intentions of excellence and focus.

Note: Excellence is not perfectionism! Excellence is doing your best each day, even exceeding your expectations. The bar may change from day to day. Give yourself grace and mercy when putting these intentions into action.💜

Full Cold Moon
Tonight at 8:36pm PT
Final full moon of 2021!

🌕 Use this time to reflect.
Acknowledge past hurts and how they may still affect you in the present.
With intention, release, cleanse and purify your energy. Ask for guidance and support in this process from your higher self, guides, ancestors and God/Goddess/Divine Intelligence.

🌕 Give yourself an extra dose of love and grace for those areas you may feel you have fallen short of your expectations.

🌕 Celebrate your achievements!
You have made it through another challenging year. Give yourself the gift of time to recognize and appreciate your growth, perseverance and strength.

🌕 Picture your future. If plans are in place, review and adjust your vision as needed. Set clear intentions.
If you are still deciding, we are being called to step out of our comfort zone, listen to the quiet (or not so quiet) voice that has been nudging us to take that leap. Decide. Do not allow the appearance of “reality” to get in your way!

🌕 A new phase begins on December 21st, the Winter Solstice, which is longest night and marks the return of the Light!🌟

Love and Bright Blessings to all
✨💜✨
