Happy holidays. Holidays are always a time of reflection for me. Wanted to share with you my reflection and my determination for next year.

I don’t set new year’s resolutions, but I have decided that 2024 will be my best year yet. In order to understand what I mean by my best year; I need to share a story with you. When my sons were growing up, they played sports. Not just one or two but lots of sports. We hardly had a down time from one sport ending and another beginning and many times they overlapped with each other. There were many successes but just as many disappointments with these teams. My husband and I determined that we would never let our sons blame others for their losses. We did not let them blame a referee or a teammate or whatever circumstance may have led to the defeat. Sometimes they were hard on themselves even when they won. We always asked one question when dealing with these big emotions, “Did you do the best you could today?”. We would go on to discuss that they may have not played to what they, a coach or a team deemed the best, but did they give it their best at that given time. If so, then they were successful on that day on that field, court or mat.

Society likes to set the value of what is the best and we tend to just go along with it. So for this year, I am going to determine the value of what is my best. My goal is to continually ask myself did I do the best I could in any situation or on any given day. I am going to determine the value of what is my best. I very seldom judge myself against others. My monster is my perfectionism that strives to tell me I could always be better. My husband and I worked hard to give our sons the tools to set their own boundaries of success, and what is best. I find that I am really good at teaching but not always doing it for myself. So, this year I claim it as my best year. Will it be best by society standards? I frankly don’t know and even more so don’t care. When I buy into that, I set myself up for failure and I am done looking at failure.

So in order to be my best year I am giving myself the gifts of grace and forgiveness. I am going to be willing to recognize that some days my best looks way different than other days but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been a best day. I am going to give grace to myself instead of loathing and forgiveness instead of guilt. I am also going to let go of what I think my best year will look like and live in the moment more. I don’t want to miss any more of my best because as the old saying goes, “the best is yet to come” and I am determined what to live it. So, as we enter 2024, come along with me and let it be your best year yet.

I recently attended a women’s retreat in Mt. Shasta, CA. What a beautiful sacred place that is known to be the Earth’s root chakra. I came together with women some of whom I had met over zoom calls and some for the first time. There is a power when women come together to take care of their own souls and I don’t do this often enough. The power was palpable as we celebrated a solar eclipse and a new moon. In this glorious place, we laughed, we cried, we healed, we danced, we laid under the stars while crystal bowls serenaded us, we poured peace and love into the world, and we recognized our own sacredness. Why is it that we don’t always find value in being a sacred being? In sacredness there is a magical power. Connecting with our sacredness can take as little as five minutes or as long as a whole weekend or longer. Do you mediate, do you go out in nature, or do you connect with others who work to recognize your value and help you see it. Take some time today to realize what you do to find value in you as a sacred being or what you can do to find this value. If you have these rituals, please share with us. If you are thinking, I have no idea how to feed my soul, reach out to me and let’s talk. We all deserve to realize our potential as sacred beings.

I thought I posted this yesterday but apparently there was user error.

Today is the new moon for August. Time to set new intentions, look for new opportunities, let go of old things that don’t serve you. I drew a card for today and it is exactly perfect for a new moon day. It is the 8 of Swords. This card reminds us that we make our own reality. We are the ones that are responsible for our own happiness. It’s a time to open our eyes and unveil truths. You can let go of those old stories and write the ones you want. Look around and create infinite opportunities. We cannot control what happens around us, but we do control how we react. Don’t give your power away. Don’t hold onto old stories that lower your vibration. Let that s**t go. Know that today you are free to create your own healing and light and manifest a positive path forward.

I want to share a little bit about the first Crone in my life. I didn’t realize that she played this role until I began to step into my own crone journey. Katie came into my life in a very casual way. In my 30’s, I would meet a friend at McDonalds a couple of days a week for coffee in the afternoon. There was a group of three to four older ladies that would also meet at this time. We very soon merged into one group. Katie was kind of the unofficial leader of the group because she was so outgoing and fun. She planted the first seeds in my soul on my journey into cronehood. She was funny and bold and had a take no s**t attitude, and I remember thinking that was how I wanted to be when grew up. She laughed out loud, told outrageous stories and had no qualms about talking about s*x in your old age. Yet she would listen to me with an intenseness of caring and give such sage advice making me feel heard and validated. Today I still carry many of these lessons I learned from her. She was only in my life for about a year as I had to give up the afternoon coffee club because of schedule changes. I will always be grateful to her.
If you are walking through the younger seasons of your life, I encourage you to look around and find those crones that can help plant those seeds of life lessons and growth. Some of these crones may come into your life for a short time and some may stay forever. They are such important women in your life and a gift from the universe. The universe provides us with guides on our journey and these crones hold deep wisdom and knowledge to help you on your path.
If you are a crone, gather other crones around you. It is a time in your life to nourish those roots planted deep into the earth with stories of love, abundance, joy, heartache, loss and survival. These stories speak to our power within. The universe calls you and the younger one need you to speak wisdom into the world. Be a Katie and laugh long and loud, share stories, and listen intently to those on younger paths that need your wisdom.

Today we step into a new month and a full super moon. We are invited to let go of those things that don’t serve us and forge a new path. Themes for this month are to clear up miscommunications, release drama or step out of power struggles and stop compromising yourself.

Our card for today is The Sirens. These were mythical creatures that were half woman and half bird sea creatures. They were free and empowered creatures, who shared their voice and natural gifts to attract what they wanted.

What do you need to let go of to be empowered. This card invites you to move into the most expanded version of yourself. Find opportunities to become more of who you are, stepping into your most expansive self. Listen to the music of your heart that plays within your soul and share your song with the world. Dance to the music of the universe speaking your voice and living your best life.

What do you need to let go of to step into your power and find your authentic voice and gifts?

It's new moon time my friends. Time to plant your roots deep. Feel mother earth wrap you in her essence. Raise your hands and sway to the music of the universe. Hear the call of the heavens inviting you to dance and sing and set your sprit free. Let your joy be your sunrise and your contentment be your sunset every day. What are your intentions for this new moon?

Hello and welcome to my page. For as long as I can remember, I have been healing with different modalities. Three years ago I was called to become a reiki master healer. Why journey with the crone? Because I have walked through this life for many years and gathered the wisdom of age and the universe and want to share this experience with you through reiki and coaching to facilitate healing and growth. I am passionate about mentoring women in their walk to grow into the spiritual being they are called to be.
