Sometimes you step out the door with grace. Other times you are gentle pushed. :)

Well if you are here reading this, you know that my Web Site/Facebook/ Instagram pages, as well as an my personal FB page all lovingly pushed? shoved? gently conspired? me out the proverbial door and launched me on August 1, 2024. I can't help but smile at the date. Lammas/Lughnasa is the name some of you may know, it is the half way point between Summer and Fall. The time to harvest, come together, and move. It seems to me that harvesting is really what is happening . I think of the German word that sounds like earned. After hard work, you earn the fruits of your labor. This feels right. After a life time of study and contemplation, years of teaching and exploring, I have been yearning to begin teaching again, sharing again, and learning from all who show up. But it hasn't been an easy time getting out the door. Life was really difficult for a while and this Social Butterfly, World Traveler, returned after living abroad took a deep dive under after some personal tragedy, and wasn't ready to come out for a very long time. This too, brought me knowledge that I never could have gotten in a book or classroom. The things that centered me during this time, besides the listening ear of my partner, were journeying*, art and writing books and plays. These things helped me in ways that nothing else could. They helped me to heal. From there, it took time. By 2020, I thought it was time to go back out in the world, only to be told to go back in, so I did. I took more classes and more and more and more. I delved deeper and deeper and deeper yet still. I made friends around the globe that support and nourish my vision and see the world in many of the ways I do, but each with their own magic and so many amazing and soul led teachers generously sharing their wisdom. As I write this, it sounds much like the support I gained way back when in 96 when I decided to embark on a solo backpacking trip around the world, starting in Argentina and the group I found at the drop zone(sky diving facility), but that is another story. Though it highlights our evolution through life, this continual spiral of life. Here we are now, in 2024 and I have been hearing the call to step out and share. Much like getting into the Atlantic Ocean some days, I get ready, get ready on the first I didn't jump under, but was nudged. Once I discovered what had happened, I wasn't embarrassed but rather elated and dove in head first. So welcome! In my head I hear ,"You are always right on time." and I believe we all are. xxx Be well xx
