Thank you to all of the women that have refused to remain silent in our history.
They’ve helped us gain rights that we hold dear. Rights that we will protect like we protect our babies ! ALL BABIES.

🌹 thank you Maya Angelou I hold your legacy close to my heart. ❤️

💐 Today, we open Women’s History Month by honoring the power, resilience, and brilliance of women, past, present, and future.

This month-long observance originated in grassroots advocacy and became a national designation in 1987, created to uplift women whose contributions have too often gone unseen. It is both a celebration and a call to continue the work toward equity, dignity, and justice.

We begin with “Phenomenal Woman," Dr. Maya Angelou’s timeless declaration of self-worth, confidence, and unapologetic womanhood. The poem reminds us that society’s narrow standards do not define power, but by the quiet strength, grace, and knowing we carry within ourselves.

As Dr. Angelou wrote,
“I’m a woman / Phenomenally. / Phenomenal woman, / That’s me.”

This Women’s History Month, we celebrate women who lead boldly, love fiercely, and stand firmly in who they are—phenomenal, just as they are.

✨ Happy Women’s History Month ✨

Yay signs of Spring 🙏☀️♓️🙌

UPDATES for Cedar Bog

As a young visitor informed us yesterday, there are over 400 maroon and lime green skunk cabbage spathes emerging around the boardwalk! She counted them! I would bet there are even more today! The spathes are opening and we are seeing bees feed on the flowers within the spathe! AND, the chorus frogs were heard singing today! Glorious signs of SPRING!

DATA CENTER update: we want to thank you all for responding to our call for action. The response from the citizens of our nearest city, Urbana, has been overwhelming- they grew up next to the Bog and cherish it. People from all over Ohio and beyond have shared our post, emailed city administrators, state officials, and offered their support. Many, Many thanks!
The next Urbana City Council meeting will be Tuesday, March 3rd, at 6:00 pm and will be held in the community room at 1512 S. Highway 68, Urbana, Ohio. If you want to speak you will need to sign up before 6:00. We have 2 expert folks speaking that night. Our goal for this meeting is to ask city council to bring back the moratorium so that we can demand environmental impact studies and gain more information. As you know, we MUST be pro-active. We appreciate your presence at these meetings! The link to the petition is in a prior post. There will be a paper petition at the meeting. There are over 4,000 signatures at this point. You do NOT have to be a resident of Champaign County to sign or to speak at the council meeting! The citizens group from Urbana has created a website to keep people informed at www.urbanadatacenter.info.
Thank you!

Do you know I am certified in Quantum Healing Hypnosis technique? This is an amazing aspect of my work with people that are actively raising their consciousness.

What is QHHT, anyway?

QHHT stands for Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique. It was developed in the 1960s by the late Dolores Cannon, a pioneering hypnotherapist who spent decades guiding people into deep states of awareness. Through thousands of sessions, she uncovered profound spiritual insights and went on to write over 17 books based on what emerged, including The Convoluted Universe series in multiple volumes, Jesus and the Essenes, They Walked Among Him and so many more best sellers.

QHHT is a gentle guided journey inward where you relax deeply and allow your conscious mind to soften. In this peaceful state, you connect with the wiser part of you that already knows who you are, why you are here, and what your soul is ready to heal.

This is not about being put to sleep or losing control. You remain aware, safe, and present. I simply guide you with my voice, much like a meditation, as you drift into a sacred inner space where memories, insights, and wisdom can rise naturally. We can hear more easily from this quiet state of mind.

Many people experience past life imagery, symbolic stories, or meaningful scenes that offer clarity. Then we invite your Higher Self to step forward. This is the loving, expansive part of you that sees the whole picture. From this space, questions are answered and healing can begin in a way that feels deeply personal and profoundly supportive.

QHHT is a conversation with your own soul.

It is for the curious heart.
The seeker.
The one who feels there is more.
The one ready to remember their light.

PM me or schedule a curiosity call today ! Link in comments to book a call.

With love,
Mandy

Today is the 222 Portal.

The Seven Sisters Pleiades and the Moon together. Along with so much going on in our solar system🌙☀️🕊️♈️

The Divine Feminine has been strengthening in quiet and powerful ways. Women choosing to rest. To create. To trust their intuition. To nourish their bodies. To build community. To say yes to themselves.

The Divine Feminine is not weakness.
She is the deepest current of Divine Love.
She is wisdom that rises from the earth and pours from the heavens at the same time.

Today, let us consciously connect with her.

As this 222 Portal opens, take a moment to connect.

Place your awareness at your crown. Imagine a luminous river of light flowing down through the center of your body. Feel your roots that connect to the earth. Let the light from above and the grounding from the Earth merge in your belly. Your hara. your Sacral Chakra.

Breathe it in.

Affirm with me:

I am the light of the Universe.

I am connected to the Source of Divine Feminine energy.

The flow moves through me with grace and strength.
I am worthy.
I receive.
I embody.

May today bring alignment. May it bring balance. May it awaken the sacred feminine qualities already alive within you.

What quality of the Divine Feminine are you choosing to amplify today?

May you and all beings be Well.
May you and all beings be Happy.
May you and all beings be at Peace.🙏

Finn wanted to share her love today.

She’s recently been kicking her addiction to spider plants. Her mom’s found out that spider plants are like L*D to some cats. Who knew 😅 she was a bit crazy for a while. Now we can see her pupils and she is more loving. The spider plants are all at Betty and happy to not be eaten.

Today we were having a serious talk about my jewelry storage. It maybe a problem. Isn’t she so beautiful?? 💗

Show me your furry babies I love them all so much 🥰

Mary Magdalene has been misunderstood for centuries.
Her story flattened. Her wisdom quieted. The red rose is often associated with her as a symbol of embodied love, sacred devotion, and truth revealed slowly. Petal by petal. Not rushed. Not forced.

Yet many including myself feel, deep in their bones, that she was far more than history allowed her to be.

I have learned about Mary Magdalene as a divine creator and an alchemist of the heart. A woman who understood transformation through love, presence, and embodied wisdom. I believe the energy work she shared with Yeshua was powerful and essential, especially as he prepared to move through the great mystery of death and rebirth.

This belief does not diminish other truths.
It simply makes room for a fuller remembering.

The rose reminds us that the sacred feminine was never meant to be erased.
That love can be both tender and fierce.
That transformation often happens through devotion, not domination.

In honoring Mary Magdalene, we honor the wisdom that lives within us too.
The part that knows healing comes through love, truth, and courage.

May we allow her story, and our own, to bloom again.

Happy Friday !

This oracle card was pulled when I was asking what do I/we need to bring to the current collective situations.

Sandpiper spirit knows the ease and freedom of play.

Play shows up differently for every one of us. Our authentic self knows how we find play. Our inner child may remember how we find play. Or if they were stifled in their play we may struggle with knowing how to add play. That’s okay we can allow them to experience play now !

Bring more play to our everyday stuff. It’s going on my to do list !

Let’s sit with that a minute.

How does that feel ? How do you lighten yourself into a playful mind?

Today is my peaceful day 💛 you too ?

🌅 Good Morning! A Peaceful Day Begins. May everyone who sees this photo from our journey be reminded that we are still walking together—not on highways anymore, but in the sacred space of our daily lives.

Every time you practice mindfulness today—with your breath, your thoughts, your words, your actions—you are walking with us. Every moment of peace you choose, you continue this journey.

The Walk for Peace didn’t end when we returned home. It continues in you, through you, with every mindful step you take today.

Let us walk together through this day with tranquil awareness and loving hearts.

May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. 🙏✨

I see a common thread in many of the people who find their way to me.
Somewhere along the path of giving, surviving, and holding everything together, they stopped saying yes to themselves.

Their authentic self begins to feel distant.
Joy feels muted.
Pain settles into the body.
Not because they are broken, but because life taught them to tend every other flame except their own.

This is where Reiki Level 1 often meets them so gracefully.

Level 1 is not about becoming someone new.
It is about remembering who you already are.

The practice is centered on your Luminous light.
That steady, living presence within you that has never left.
Through breath, awareness, and self Reiki, we begin to gently unpack the layers that formed around it.
Fear. Exhaustion. Old roles. Survival patterns.

As we practice, the lampshades begin to fall away.
Gracefully compassionately, with reverence for you.
And little by little, you begin to feel yourself again.
Your breath softens.
Your body listens.
You begin to know you.

If you feel that quiet stirring inside, that sense that something within you wants attention, that is your light calling you home.

When you are ready to say yes to yourself again, Reiki can be a beautiful place to begin. I am here to walk beside you.
