Great Mother Dwells Within You

Most women agree that there are several phases to a woman's life. In the beginning there was Maiden, Mother, and Crone. Times have changed, we're no longer married off in our teens to spend all of our days barefoot and pregnant.As our lives extend and we embrace our power, more phases have been added. Maiden, Warrior, Mother, Queen, Crone.Maiden is our phase of innocence. Warrior is the phase where we fight for what we want in life. Mother is where...

How I Talk To Goddess

One of the tools that has been so important to me getting my life together has been writing. It has helped me to manage my depression, it has allowed me to dig deep spiritually, and it's always been my way of working through the big stuff.My Journal is a book of conversations. Conversations with my demons, conversations with my inner wise woman, and conversations to and from my Goddess.I allow Her to speak through me. When I need advice I just...

I've got diamonds at the meeting of my thighs

If you took my survey you might have seen the part where I ask you what you want me to write about. A lot of you wanted me to explore the Sacred Feminine, and you know what? I think that's a great idea.What is the Sacred Feminine?The Sacred Feminine is about seeing women as sacred and divine and exploring that connection. I realize that I spend a lot of time encouraging you to see yourself as sacred and beautiful but I want to delve into the...

Pray For Faith

One of the things that keeps coming up for me, and a lot of people that I know is what do you do when you lose faith. Or when you're not as devoted as you want to be.Pray for faith.It sounds silly, but it works. There's a musician, Jai Uttal, that I absolutely love and he talks about faith and devotion and the paths that we take.Paths are rarely smooth or constant. Just like everything in life they follow spirals and cycles and circles. When you...

Treat. Yo. Self.

One of my favorite comedies (and believe me I have a lot) is Parks and Recreation, it's a great show and really funny.I love the episode where Tom and Donna have a "Treat Yo Self" Day.Once a year they get together and go shopping to buy themselves extravagant things, or indulgent things that they might not otherwise buy. It's a day of saying yes to everything that you want.Sounds pretty awesome right?They bring along one of their co-workers...

I hate my name.

I have never been very fond of my name for a variety of reasons. It's always felt like this baggage that I have to carry with me and can't let go of.It's reminiscent of the baggage that I carried with me when I hated my body. It's very similar. We sometimes define ourselves by how we look and we also define ourselves by what we are called.I hate my name because I feel like it has always been something that separates me from everyone else.It...

How To: Self Love

This morning, a lovely lady named Anne commented on the Blessing Manifesting Facebook page."I want some positive advice on how to learn self love."I then realized that out of the over 300 blog posts here at Blessing Manifesting I don't think any of them accurately cover what that question asks.After a little bit of thought I came up with what I believe is the best way to start the journey and to begin loving yourself.You can also read about...

The Goddess Artemis

One of my wishes for the New Year is to reconnect with my spirituality. It's really been put on the back burner lately as I put my focus on self-care and business. I know that it's something that I need and want to focus on.My relationship with the Divine has been constant, if sometimes quiet. I embrace both the masculine and feminine aspects of God.I tend to connect with the Greek/Roman pantheon. The most influential Goddesses in my life have...

Are you detoxing?

One of the things that comes up a lot of the time with my peoples is why does it hurt to change? When you start changes, good changes and positive changes, why do things start sucking even more?Because you are detoxing.When you give up the bad-for-you-things, whether they are physical or emotional, your body and your mind rebels.If you are an avid coffee drinker give up coffee and see how you feel, or stop smoking, or eating sugar, or start exercising...

My Word of the Year

Last year I chose a Word-of-the-Year instead of making a goal or a resolution and I loved it. I'm not sure that I did 'Surrender' proud last year, but I do know that I let go of a lot of things and that it did help me to keep that theme in mind.Choosing a Word-of-the-Year is like picking the title for the next chapter of your life. It's good stuff. It's also a nourishing process, it helps you to get your head in the right place and gives you a focal...
