I've been grappling with some ideas that I feel compelled to share and will tell you right now that they may push us against the edges of your comfort zones. But, it's for a higher purpose... Unity Consciousness. Because isn't this where we want to go? Isn't the new world we envision based on LOVE for our fellow humans and the natural world? Does that dream even seem possible these days? Ever the optimist, I say a resounding YES! But, we're not going to get there without some personal adjustments first. So, hang in there with me and, as always, feel free to drop any idea that does not serve you.

Last week I was blessed to be in northern California for a beautiful family wedding in the redwoods, which was food for the soul on many levels. (What could be better than celebrating love amongst the giants??) Whenever I'm in the vicinity, I always extend my trip to include a visit to Calistoga for a bit of fangotherapy (otherwise known as a mud bath), which I discovered in my early 20's and have been running back for ever since - that's how good they are. If you've never been, it involves lowering your body into a tub filled with a mixture of locally harvested volcanic ash, mineral-rich, 104 degree geothermal water, and peat moss. Ahhh.... Can you feel the progression? To be open to awe leads to being inspired to fulfill what makes the heart sing! (But that's only the beginning...) Interestingly, this sequence times out perfectly with all the planets emerging out of retrograde and moving forward, giving us that extra momentum to place a stake in the ground for doing/being what we love. Now might be the time to get out those watercolors out of the drawer or sign up for dance classes or adopt a pet, or book a trip to a wild place you've always wanted to visit or...? Or even do something that scares you, just a little bit.
