Paper Boats On Rivers of Hate

“Anger is like flowing water; there's nothing wrong with it as long as you let it flow.

Stagnant water becomes dirty, stinky, disease-ridden, poisonous, deadly; that is your hate. On flowing water travels little paper boats; paper boats of forgiveness. Allow yourself to feel anger, allow your...

Winter Animal Magic

I think that a lot can be learned from animals. Some of us have animals as totems or Spirit Guides, and allow animals to teach us wisdom. We can be inspired by how animals live, and learn wise lessons from their behavior. I thought I would highlight an animal that has Winter Wisdom to teach us.Bear is a very powerful animal and is believed to be one of the first animals to be revered by humans. There are so many myths surrounding the bear. The Greek...

Shake Your Booty!

One of my favorite self care activities is listening to music. Now this one can be tricky. We all have songs that remind us of an ex or a difficult time in our lives.I can't tell you how many times I've opened up my music player and listened to one sad song and before you know it, I am stuck in that lovely "vortex of suck" where I am back in the past.I love listening to music that gets me up and music, that allows me to dance and sing loudly and...

Goddess of Love

This is my favorite painting of Venus, who is the counterpart to my favorite Goddess, Aphrodite. The painting is The Birth of Venus (French: Naissance de Venus) by the French artist Alexandre Cabanel. To me this painting represents the beauty of the Goddess of Love. This painting is full of sensuality, the way she is just lounging amongst the waves as if she's just woken up from a nap.Aphrodite is the Greek Goddess of Love, Beauty, and Sexuality. According...
