Three days after the full moon in Capricorn I found myself in a goat yoga class. Are you getting the synchronicity here? Capricorn…sign of the sea goat? Goats were just what I needed. I’d been feeling a bit fragmented and scattered after some big waves of emotion that came up during the eclipse season that preceded the full moon. So this stabilizing Capricorn energy–like a goat with all four feet on the ground–was welcome medicine. That, and actual goats jumping on my back. And, above all, laughter. If you haven’t done goat yoga before, you can probably imagine that it’s […]

I recently returned from a trip to New Orleans and look what I brought back! Well, maybe not the actual bird, but the memory for sure. My mother, my daughter and I took a swamp tour, traveling across the lazy water on a small vessel with a couple from Texas and our guide who had boated this bayou since he was a small boy.

This is the  same patch of ground I have passed thousands of times, yet somehow never noticed the rose quartz stone. But this day, it jumped out at me, so I started digging. As I dug deeper and deeper, I realized that this baby was much bigger than I thought! Then two words came to me: hidden treasure. And that’s my inspiration for the week. This morning, aforementioned doggie and I hiked […]
