Women without children are also the best mothers.

*

“Women without children are also the best of mothers, often, with the patience, interest, and saving grace that the constant relationship with children cannot always sustain. I come to crave our talk and our daughters gain precious aunts. Women who are not mothering their own children have the clarity and focus to see deeply into the character of children webbed by family. A child is fortunate who feels witnessed as a person, outside relationships with parents by another adult.”

Love has got to stop whispering…

*

Hate has talked so loudly for so long.
Greed has talked so loudly for so long.
Liars have talked so loudly for so long.
Love has got to stop whispering ..

#Omens&Symbols . . . The Hawthorn Trees

*

“The Hawthorn is a tree of magical enchantment and is strongly associated with Beltane, the ancient festival celebrating spring. In Celtic mythology it is one of the most sacred trees and symbolises love and protection. It is also known as the Fairy Tree, as fairies live under the Hawthorn as its guardians, and so was treated with great respect and care. However, politely collecting Hawthorn sprigs and flowers was allowed, especially by brides, who wore Hawthorn blossom in their hair or bouquet to symbolise their union of love.

The Hawthorn is a small tree with an abundance of foliage, growing on its thorny branches, which is wonderful for garden birds to safely make ther nests. It is known for its longevity and can live over 400 years. In March the Hawthorn tree’s leaf-buds open and pale green leaves appear. These leaves are joined by masses of delicate white flower buds, which open in May to reveal blossoms with five white petals surrounding stamens with bright pink heads. Each flower produces a fruit, called a ‘Haw’ which appear in July and ripen in October resembling small bright red apples which are loved by our birds.”

A true soulmate is a mirror…

*

“A true soulmate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soulmate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake.”

~Elizabeth Gilbert

The world needs you as you are.

*

the next time
you refuse to sing
because you’ll never
fill a stadium
or decline the joy of dance
for fear of looking
ridiculous
or you resist risking
the new adventure
because you’re
not entirely ready or
you dim your shine
because you’re not
completely healed and whole

the next time
you hold yourself suspect
because you’re not
entirely qualified

just remember

a bird doesn’t sing
because it’s talented
a bird sings because
it has a song

the moon doesn’t only shine
when it’s whole
it can show up with
a single sliver of itself
and still light an entire
night sky

show up. sing. shine.
the world needs you
as you are.

New Moon musings…

*

New moon sets on Wednesday, May 8th.
She’s a carrier of very positive vibes. A cycle ends.
This looks like a juncture time for many of us promising renewal and growth.
Whatever that is sown in this moon season will yield a fruitful harvest.
You can also expect a regrowth of energy and motivation, new inspirations and projects and free yourself with force and determination from the people and situations that have oppressed you for too long.
The period of emptiness and doubt will gradually dissolve for all those who will have faith in themselves and in Life.
The portal of change is wide open.
It’s really an opportune time when everything can turn around and usher in new beginnings. Visualise your desires.
You can enjoy the energies of this new moon, once evening has come, comfortably settled in a quiet place, take time, after closing your eyes, relax your shoulders and take a deep breath to express your intentions:

“I’m letting go,
all that no longer corresponds to me,
all heartache, disappointment and any form of guilt.
Anyone not vibrating on the same frequency as me anymore.
I give up hope that it will be better “tomorrow” and accept that what I’m looking for is already in the “NOW”
I let go of any broken and suffering parts of me.
I am letting go of my shadow areas and letting healing light into their place.
I let go of all the hopes I had built and all projects that never marketed to open me up to new proposals more suited to who I have become.
I’m letting it go :
sadness to replace it with happiness,
desperation to feed me hope,
I choose to radiate the Light rather than feed the darkness.
I choose inner peace because I desperately need it.
I choose the true connections.
I choose love. ”
So be it !. ♥

Love and Light,

Thief and Giver

Thief and Giver

Time’s a thief; he steals away
Many blossoms of to-day.
Joys he steals and also tears,
Pilfers hopes and filches fears.
May the rascal steal from you
Only what you want him to!

Time’s a giver and he brings
Sometimes weights and sometimes wings;
Now his gifts are lasting fair,
Now they vanish in the air.
May the rascal give to you
Only what you want him to!

By Amos Russell Wells

You have a unique message to deliver…

You have a unique message to deliver, a unique song to sing, a unique act of love to bestow.
This message, this song, and this act of love have been entrusted exclusively to the one and only you..
