I recently went to the ballet Giselle with good friends. What immediately struck me was the level of dedication and sheer will it must take to train for one’s craft at the highest levels. All of the music and dance was impeccable! Not to mention the beautiful sets and costumes. Such artistry and beauty went into this production. Fabulous! #giselle #seattle #pacificnorthwest #pacificnorthwestballet

 In my mid-20s I began a conscious mindful practice of appreciating the opportunities that presented in my life. It really helped me to be grateful for things in my life. This has evolved over time to appreciate everything as an opportunity. In fact, I look at everything in my life as an invitation to appreciate what is, and thus this expands my awareness of the potential of what might be. For example: a pile of dirty laundry. If I’m not looking at this through the eyes of appreciating opportunity, just the sight of it might drain my energy as I grumble about never having enough time. But after training myself to see everything as an opportunity and appreciating that I have the opportunity to have enough clothing to have a pile of dirty laundry and enough other good things in my life to keep me busy enough to have the laundry pile up a bit, I see that this is not just an opportunity for gratitude but for refining systems and how I organize my life. I analyze why/when/how the laundry is piling up and create a better game plan to stay on top of it. I know a pile of dirty laundry might not seem like something to celebrate, but this is a reflection of something in my inner world. Addressing challenges as opportunities has completely transformed my life. It helps me to remain open and allows me to be creative when solving “problems”. #mindfulliving #mindful #mindfullness #opportunity #opportunities #appreciation #appreciate #change #transformation
This week we celebrated the Wiccan Sabat (holy day) of Imbolc! The energies present mark the first day of Spring which is evident here in the Pacific Northwest as the first fresh green shoots of daffodils and tulips peeking up from the cold earth. This is pre-planting season and the time to take stock of which seeds are worthy of being planted. What to keep and what to release. We did an introspective exercise and enjoyed yummy food, good conversation and music. #wicca #sabat #imbolc
 Sometimes its difficult to manifest when we have too many things growing in our garden of life. The abundance of nature and of the Universe is amazing!!! How to choose? #fomo #yolo 😳 It’s a great time to do a practice I like to call “clear the soil”. Which isn’t about uprooting everything in your garden but selectively taking out what you’re the least passionate about. This helps with clarity of mind and action. Some of the best tools to “clear the soil” are taught in the 2-day Empower Thyself class (next date is March 25 & 26. These processes have been used for 1,000s of years to manifest on a large scale! Go big in 2023 by first clearing out what is in the way of greatness. DM me for more info. #empowerthyself #clarity #manifestation #greatnessawaits

#winter #sunshine #refreshing #hike #walk #getoutsideandplay  Breathe… Hold… Release… One of the 7 hermetic principles is rhythm. Each in breath has an out breath, each out breath an in breath. The Magick is in the meeting of opposites. In the silent, middle ground, the void, the stillness between. #magickisreal #breathing #breathwork
