Reflections on my journey with Mama Earth and Grandmother Moon
As we approach the Equinox on September 22nd, the theme for our monthly journey with Grandmother Moon is Balance and Harmony. Someone recently suggested to me that this was an impossible task.

But sometimes decluttering our space can… Continue reading Four tips for decluttering: deal, donate, dump, de-own
I continue to be inspired by the words and practices of the people in this "tribe"... folks who are on a spiritual path, a journey of self-discovery, living in alignment with their values. This week, I have shared tips on cleansing and balancing one's space, one's energy. And one of the best tips comes from… Continue reading Make some space for NEW magic and miracles to come your way
Now that you have calibrated your pendulum, it's important to keep it energized and cleansed from negative energies which can easily accumulate with regular use. As with all elements, we look for a good balance of Yin (feminine) and Yang (masculine) energy in our crystals. This is especially important when working with your pendulum, to… Continue reading Four ways to cleanse and energize your crystal pendulum
