My Heart Bursts Open

Published by on January 30, 2012 | 2 Responses

Back in the fall, I had a great session with a good friend who is also an astrologer. In fact, it was my birthday present from him. He gave me a personal forecast for the coming year, and in the process he listed several dates when the energies of each transit or conjunction would “peak.” […]

My Word of the Year: Connect

Published by on January 3, 2012 | Leave a response

After an inspiration followed by some contemplation, my Word of the Year has announced itself to me. So I thought I’d announce it to you: blog readers, meet CONNECT. I love how it resonates on a lot of levels. I think that the core of my spiritual practice is connection with my divine source. Everything […]
