It’s been a few weeks since I popped in here and a lot continues to unfold rapidly both for the collective and in my individual neck of the woods.

Although I am not doing regular, longer share blog posts at this time, as I was tuning in with the energies I felt prompted to offer a little more for today due to the energies abound.

Since I already shared most of this on my Instagram, it’s more of a simple copy-and-paste reshare (for those of you on that platform) with a few additions.

Some brief collective things:

We just recently celebrated Valentine’s Day – the reminder that Love Days should be every day – after a Friday the 13th. Here in the States we have President’s Day of the 16th to reflect upon, and now we’re walking through the doorway of the Aquarius New Moon Solar Eclipse.

This Eclipse of the 17th ushers in the Fire Horse Lunar New Year (with the Chinese and Tibetan New Years merging close together on consecutive days), Mardi Gras, and start of Ramadan.

2026 is a collective #1 year, highlighting the birthing of a completely new cycle. This means that anchoring here and now and looking and creating forward are key.

As Pam Gregory shares in the video I’m linking to below…focus is our power, while pouring energy into looking back dismantles that power.

The key being to focus on what you want to create, rather than on what is collapsing.

I shared this message on an Instagram post last week that synchronously chimed in with Pam’s share even though I listened to her video only just yesterday:

Open the door to your heart.

The journey is one of many twists and turns, but love can always course correct us.

I don’t know about you, but I feel that we are being invited to welcome in the new energy and experiences…..that we need to look for, encourage, nurture, and create the things we want to see…..the hope…..the beauty…..the peace…..the kindness…..and not wait for it to materialize.

I know these are challenging times.

I know some tough things keep flying around us.

It’s up to each of us to choose to see and build something different.

To anchor something more.

Even if that is simply, but potently within your heart and your personal experience behind closed doors.

Walking the talk….. Being the love and compassion day in and day out.

When you feel helpless and ineffective, it’s time for a redirect. We’re conditioned to believe there’s only one way to create change. And that if you’re not doing it that way or can’t, then you have nothing to offer or you’re wrong for being different. This simply isn’t true.

We all have a power within…..The strength of the heart.

We underestimate this.

What we can strengthen and enhance from the inside, will emanate outwardly.

When we align our inner parts, the magnitude is amplified.

It may not show up right away in the way you think it needs to, but when each of us do this, we are building the new with grounded strength that has longevity because it’s whole from the start.

When each of us feel and embody this fully, we are making the new possible.

There are many roads to change and everyone has their unique path and role to facilitate this.

But the one thing we all have ability to do through that individual journey is to merge, amplify, and consciously direct our energy from the inside out of our hearts and clarity of embodiment. This strengthens the path you walk in greater and lasting ways than force and hatred.

Don’t wait for someone to hand you the keys.

The alchemy of your heart is the key that will open the door and let the magick in.

Here is Pam’s share about this powerful “choicepoint” as she calls it:

She also offers what I feel are some helpful tips on how to work with the energies, which mirror my own practices. You’ll need to click through to watch the video if you’re receiving this by email.

May we each harness the way that aligns best with our individuality and unique purpose, and that empowers our strengths we can offer the world.

A few of my personal thoughts on Pam’s message:

I, personally, find Pam’s message extremely resonant for the state of things and how we can harness an empowered and embodied role regardless of who we are and what we think we have to offer – as if she was speaking from my own heart.

Everything, down to how she’s being called to shift things for herself by pulling back from and reducing things she’s been doing for years because it’s not right for where she’s going…and how she’s embarking on a new identity that is deeply heart aligned and personally transformative to her state of being and enriching for her work she will be able to then share with others.

From Snake to Horse.

I feel her message is so beautifully and eloquently expressed.

I hope you take a listen and see where it lands for you.

Some short personal reflections:

We just returned from a two week ski trip in Utah that offered a nice immersion beyond that and felt like a little reset that got me highly focused. I was able to refine projects and upcoming year plans, while adding more personally aligned centering and wellness practices to my new daily rituals to keep me on point.

Right after we left, on 1/31 (which coincides with my mom’s birthday) I received notification of my 15 year blog anniversary on here, which is wild to me how long I’ve been sharing on this platform. So, having a little longer blog today felt aligned with celebrating that as well, although is not an ongoing regular thing right now.

While away we saw pronghorn, wild horses, mule deer, coyotes, and these two California Condors soaring together in the sky.

This is a very rare sighting, as they are not usually seen in the northern Park City, Utah area. And to have two of them in unison together was particularly meaningful to me.

We’re now at the start of the first of two big storms that are looking to be the biggest yet of our low snow season and going through end of February into March – all kicking off with the energies of the Lunar New Year New Moon Eclipse.

That will likely mean a white birthday upcoming for me. This year is a very cool, once-in-a-lifetime numerical birthday 02-26-2026.

I have a different birthday celebration planned that will ignite a very heart resonant, dream fulfilling, and liberating new cycle in motion already.

We can each hold intention as we walk through this emboldened portal and look at what we can release, refine, and refocus.

I continue not to know how it’s all going to look, but I’m trusting and embracing what’s here and now that messages me strongly and not letting things get in the way of where I’m feeling called to lean into. Centering within, as Pam shares, is where strength lies to be profoundly effective in terms of our energy without.

I’ll be watching as the storms move in and out. It mirrors so much of the collective energies that ebb and flow – increasing in intensity, coming to a calm before each storm, offering inner reflection, and making way for the new to sprout. Nature adapts to it all, finding no reason to fear or judge the cycles and reflections that are organically unfolding right on evolutionary time.

So, too, are we resilient and innovatively resourceful.

A couple of offerings:

And last, I wanted to share these as today’s offerings for the New Moon Eclipse and Lunar New Year.

An opportunity:

The first is a potential travel opportunity for Fall of this year.

I am headed back to Egypt in March. Synchronously, I’ll be arriving on the last evening of Ramadan and look forward to experiencing the energy of this sacred time there.

Without going into specifics, this is both a work and personal, spiritually focused solo journey. Part of the trip I’ll be with Mody to explore some details.

Originally, we had a private retreat itinerary scheduled for end of September into October 2026 that was requested by a friend of ours. They reached out to Mody about a trip and asked for me to be a part of things, so I helped customize a trip for them. This retreat has now been postponed to later dates.

Since the time slot and groundwork was already laid, we mutually agreed we could open up the possibility to another private group in case anyone else was interested.

We can accommodate up to 5 people only, or you can secure it for yourself. More info available upon inquiry about itinerary, dates, pricing and how you can secure this time slot.

We’re only keeping the opportunity window open for a short time, as things need to be secured when I’m there in March. So, something to think about over the next month, as the Lunar New Year ignites.

I’m going to be in Egypt in the Fall again, anyway, for my own personal trip, so it’s easy for me to just tag on extra time if needed. I’m scheduled to be in Egypt again next year as well.

But again, for the ability to secure special parts of the trip that require advance booking, knowing in March of your intentions is needed.

While I’m there, Mody and I will be hosting a Live Sale from Egypt on March 20th with new carvings and announcing the winner of the March Giveaway that will be hosted at start of the month. Anyone on Instagram will be able to see lives we share and any peaks into my time there.

Crystal offerings:

All beautiful crystal beings have been homed, but I’ll likely be adding a few new friends to the link below. Currently, I’m in process of giving someone who requested a personal showing, their first look. Once they decide on which they would like to home, I’ll then post listings for any that might have a heart connection elsewhere.

These will be posted as soon as that happens, if there’s any remaining, so check in when you feel called.

Crystals and Crystal Skulls

With a lot of travels booked for this year, I’ll have limited time to share and ship pieces, but I’ll update you with those windows when and if I’m inspired to post offerings.

Happy Lunar New Year and Aquarius New Moon Solar Eclipse!

May you embody your unique wings to fly more freely into 2026 and beyond!

We’ve moved into a new era of Neptune in Aries, as shared in the link by faery sis, Laura.

I also love what my sweet friend Linda of Litebeing Chronicles wrote about this embarkation yesterday:

“Today is the day that Neptune sticks the landing of its journey through Aries. 0 degrees Aries is Genesis, the Spark of Creation, unleashed energy. This signifies unbridled exuberance.”

A time to build the dreams…add fire to the visions…and make them a reality.

Bold action without full plan…power in each step forward.

Become.

Many energetic milestones taking place and constant polarities being exaggerated and pendulum swung – just like the overly mild Winter of the West we’re having here currently in comparison to the frigid Winter Wild of the East taking place.

And amidst it all, we can each do our parts the best we can, while offering up a helping hand across bridges of separation, distortion, and disheartenment.

There are exciting and expansive offerings upcoming, as a result of my own emboldened embrace to be a heart bridge in these times, but for now….

Today’s intuited offering is twofold – just 2 openings for intuitive guidance sessions for transformation and 4 crystalline beings – Starseeds – for support.

The first offering is one I received message could be of assistance for anyone struggling at this time or finally at the tipping point.

Again, I don’t offer these regularly anymore. I only offer things now when, and if, I get an intuitive hit that it’s in alignment and they will always be tempered with what’s in balance for me.

I currently only have 1 regular client I meet with who had a large package we’re finishing out and with the way I’ve been managing my time, I can offer the same to just 2 more people.

If you’re interested in what this would look like – customized for you – you can CONTACT ME to discuss your needs. I will be offering discounted support to assist.

Timing can be everything, as it took until this last year for my current client to be ready, although I’ve known him for years. Since, he’s literally made a 180 moving him out of being victim to narcissistic relationship patterns, living in constant anxiety that was affecting his health, and grasping or fighting for things (many of the shared collective patterns these days)…He’s living his most peaceful, joyous, and magickally abundant life he’s experienced yet. Being a strong Taurus, with other fixed energies, took strategizing ways to work with and bypass resistances, but we did it. I found the keys and the timing was now.

The magick happens when we are fully willing to commit to consistency, vulnerability, and being open.

I find that regularly showing up and doing the work is what makes a difference.

The second offering is a group of 4 Starseeds that stepped forward to assist current shifts being navigated.

UPDATE: SOLD OUT

They make great pocket, travel, dreamtime, meditation, project helpers, and altar companions.

I offered 3 in the past here, and others after that only on Instagram. I listen to where they want to be shown first and oscillate back and forth to provide balance to the releases. My Instagram community is more familiar with these beings, but I wanted to give friends that are only connected through this medium the opportunity to explore these since you likely wouldn’t find them otherwise. The release will start here before I share them through my Instagram platform.

Plus, I know that not everyone is drawn to crystal skulls. So, these Starseeds can be a resonant way for souls to still have a crystal companion that may speak to you more. They tend to have a sweet and welcoming first impression for people, as opposed to meeting with conditioned feelings one might have about a skull.

The energies of the particular stones and each Starseed’s particular frequencies are also very resonant for what is needed now.

They are a gentle bridge of connection and activation.

Two are offered at exact exchange and two shared to offer them at discounted exchange.

I’ll be heading out this Friday 1/30, so just a heads up that if you feel drawn to one to receive now I’ll be able to get out any orders that come in by Thursday morning 1/29 before I leave.

Otherwise, I will resume shipping again after 2/16.

So, as long as they are actively connecting with their partners here and on Instagram (if they stick around until I share them there), you’ll be able to sit with them to see if any call to your heart and you can claim one while I’m gone. I just won’t get them out for a few weeks, unless your knowing is confirmed ahead of my travels.

Starseed Offering

Since I’m not currently sharing my usual experiential stories anymore, I hope you enjoy some of the photos from recent days here while I navigate my own new horizons with deepened becoming.

Wishing you a heart liberating Leo Full Moon into a fuller version of who you want to be, upcoming on the first of February!

Happy magickal Capricorn New Moon!

As mentioned, there will only be shares for now on offerings and this New Moon inspired alignment for that.

First off, I got the message to open up just a few spots for online Reiki Certification Training, which I shared on my Instagram Friday. This is a rare opportunity since I don’t teach regularly anymore. Three of the only five spots I opened are filled, but there are two spots remaining if anyone else feels to start on this path, or continue your journey. I’m keeping this open just until end of Monday the 19th, filled or not.

I received inquiries and very clear messaging again that these kinds of up-leveling vibrational shifts are needed to help support change across the globe. Yet, I opened only what feels balanced for me at this time.

This Capricorn New Moon brings grounded energy for long-term goal setting, persistent effort and building lasting foundations of sustainable routines, rather than quick fixes. It’s all about steady growth and inviting Reiki practices into your breath of sharing with self and others can be a beautiful and organic way to anchor in embodied living.

The full 3 levels are being offered for a very special exchange of just $555 when registered for together. Regularly $777 for online and $1150 in person.

If you prefer just 1 level at a time, Reiki 1 and 2 are now $111 each instead of $150 and Reiki 3 Master Teacher is $444 instead of $550. Savings of $111 when registering for all 3 together.

CONTACT ME if you have questions and/or would like to register.

And the last update is on crystal offerings.

All five of the newest crystal beings have all been lovingly homed, including the giant master skulls – thank you SO much!

I’ve just added two more magickal, otherworldly crystal beings that have stepped up for the New Moon energies. I have a feeling they will find homes quickly. They are so ethereal and their energy has been incredibly powerful to Astrid’s amazing Earth/Cosmic grid. They, along with the giant master skulls were anchored together for quite some time. The portals have opened and the work done here. Who is ready for their energy now?

You can check out these two interdimensional/fae beings at this link:

Crystals & Crystal Skulls – BOTH HAVE BEEN HOMED – THANK YOU! WILL SHARE MORE CRYSTAL RELEASES SOON

In this post, I’ve laced photos of my special friend, Foxglove, who appeared in her brave and curious fashion, letting me into her space the day after my last post. She’s recognizable by the notch in her left ear. Hope you can feel the energy she conveys through her eyes and presence. Coyotes haven’t ceased to wake me since then – literally calling to me directly across from the bedroom in the forest, and so the magick and messaging continues.

May this New Moon bring insight to your inner voice callings.

As January 18th’s Capricorn New Moon moves closer, today felt like a good time to share a change that has settled in more for me in the wake of that energy. It affects how things will be here on this blog with indefinite timelines and it’s connected to how my path is shifting.

One of the things that stayed with me while cruising in between the holidays is how change is a liminal space of instinctual surrender. A womb where endings and beginnings are seamlessly woven so that every moment is merely another breath. 

I dropped into that space while drifting with the ocean’s wisdom and the sun and moon cycles for hours each day on my balcony, and received more than I would have trying to do things my mind manufactured. Inevitably, I did what was in the natural rhythm of each moment that are being experienced as leaps in the outer world now. It put me in ultra awareness of the fluctuations of energy and an organic flow that has greater momentum than if I had planned it.

Since then, a lot of things have been moving around in the background, calling my attention to make maneuvers guided by those liminal spaces of knowing.

On the 6th, a very large rabbit glided through the snow of our deck, reminding me of Astrid (who always spoke to me of snowshoe hare essence). This was the first sighting of one of my rabbit friends in a long while and being so large he was likely Frith, although I didn’t see his face so who knows. The sighting was rather quick, but deliberate by this guardian of the thresholds who knows the stillness well and is lightning quick to the leap.

I read some beautiful words about hare just recently by artist Beth Wildwood that stuck with me:

“Hare teaches how to walk with change rather than resist it. She appears when something old is loosening, when the soul senses a shift before the mind can name it. She is gentle, alert, and fierce in her knowing — a guide through liminal spaces, dreams, and quiet transformations.”

Three days after the large rabbit in the snow crossed the deck toward the threshold of the picture windows and sliding glass door, I experienced three consecutive coyote medicine days.

First, a large pack of coyotes yipped wildly in the forest behind our house as I was taking a massage chair break in the dark. They went on for most of my sit in what otherwise would have been silence. Like owl, who was insistent upon hooting that night before the New Year, the coyotes seemed persistent in their messaging too. Their calls were wild stirrings of the heart and soul dancing in the air with the reflections I was immersed in.

The day after, on the 10th, we were walking one of our go-to trails along the college and forest when a single coyote, this time, was sighted.

This coyote had an unusual marking on her coat that showed up in a photo I captured of her running. She was extremely focused and intent on something that had her bolting through the snow quickly and darting into a fenced area, timed impeccably just before the automatic gate went down behind her.

You can see her taking off in the few photos I captured with one of the photos of her running, showing a strange lined marking at center of her body like a snake or soft lightning bolt.

Early morning of 1/11/1 I was woken up by the pack yipping wildly again out back just after 3 am.

In between all of this I’ve had a series of interesting soul-calling dreams including one with a black cat that signified to me inner magick, subconscious guidance through inner exploration, and protection through trusting and embracing unseen spiritual gifts and messaging.

What many would call normal sightings and experiences, I of course pay attention to the synchronicity of timing and awareness in the moment of merging.

We kicked off this year with a potent 1/1/1 day in numerology in a #1 year (that won’t happen again until 2035 – every 9 years) and yesterday was 1/11/1. So we’ve had an influx of reset energy opportunities on high with gateways for heightened intentional creation, manifestation, and universal support.

And all that means nothing unless we choose to focus our awareness in this vein. Everything always presents a potential and how we work with things is up to us.

That leads me to the crux of this post and how I’m embracing the potential.

I’d been feeling significant movement is needed to catapult new energies and paying attention to any resistance I might have to that. This is layered in different areas of my life, one of which being this blog.

For some time I’ve oscillated with feelings I had around sharing here and as my life shifted with more travel and personal creating space needed, I’ve lessened up on writing posts that were much more frequent in the past.

However, I’ve noticed the energy of this not matching where things are headed and even how messaging for myself and many bloggers and/or social sharers feels a lack of luster. Perhaps this is because the new is yet in the wombing stages and the world is at a hinge point.

Much is unknown and still in process of crafting. While in many ways, divinely timed repetition currently feels needed to reach the deepest layers of our resistance, patterns, and suppression, it just doesn’t feel to be resonant for me, personally, to continue diverting my energy fully toward, as I can sense how it is pulling away from my ability to innovate and anchor the next level.

It reminds me of when I broke my pinky toe years ago on the threshold of the doorway I was walking through quickly…a reminder to not forget even the smallest of integral parts behind and that in fact a little piece was still staying small in the old.

Just recently, my dear friend and fellow blogger, Brad of Writing to Freedom, shared a similar and so resonant message that came in at the precise moment I was feeling to take the next step of change. I love how we can be those clicks for each other and this is one of the reasons I am grateful for blogging and other sharing platforms, as it provides us access to these a-ha’s and keys when we are preparing to walk through a door.

I agreed with Brad’s feelings about blogging and felt a warm hug when reading his words. I’m paraphrasing, but basically his message was about his having a hard time sharing that his motivation to blog has decreased. After enjoying a break and stepping away from it, he realized a lack of passion and motivation for blogging and noticed the stale, repetitive nature of his and others’ shares.

I especially loved the last line of what he wrote, “What is most calling me is to go live a life worthy of talking about,” which spoke to that messaging I mentioned in a recent post about the value of emboldened embodiment.

Like Brad, I’ve also been blogging for 14+ years and while it’s been a beautiful space to connect with friends across the globe and share co-supportively, a reset is calling.

Like hare’s wisdom I shared above…”something old is loosening, when the soul senses a shift before the mind can name it.“

I don’t know exactly yet how things will evolve or look and I feel that’s not necessary, but I do know that a major shift is needed and I’m inclined to surrender to the “loosening” and innovate, as things evolve.

What that means is that this space will be in evolution and I will be stepping away from blogging as that transformation takes place, in order to give space to the “unnamed.”

This year is already anchoring even more travel for me, an invitation for upleveling personal energy, and a need for sole focus on projects and the incubation of new offerings. Blogging isn’t feeling to be the channel to funnel things through at this time, so this is my last regular blog post.

I won’t be disappearing altogether, but anything that you’ll see here, for now, will only be minimal posts of offerings that may be assistive to your own evolutionary journey, to include things like crystals or immersive experiences, and I’ll leave any short inspirations to only my Instagram page. In the meantime, I’ll be updating this blog site as things evolve as well.

And if you want to stay in touch and/or have questions, you can always Contact Me.

I don’t feel that I need to know how things are going to look…just needing to take the steps along that process and see how they come together in divine timing. The time is now for me with this shift that’s been tugging at me for a while. I’m ready for what’s next.

We’re definitely at a pivotal threshold collectively that I feel is inviting going deeper, wider, braver, bolder… Innovation is calling… Living more fully embodied has been knocking…

The messages I, and others, have been guided to convey over time feel anchored.

The time for talking, while is a step, for me is being outshined with a time for living and integrating the energy into actualization and creation. Connecting on deeper levels and, when pivotal to do so, also in person. So that’s where you’ll find me….living, creating, and walking alongside others ready for the next levels of experience.

While I love blogging and connecting, I’m feeling called away to explore differently. I’m not saying I’ll quit blogging forever, but you’re definitely going to see less of me and in a different vein here because I’m going to be out there living things and inviting others into that same space, both literally and energetically. The types of emboldened experiences I have to share are better expressed in person. Therefore, you may even discover your heart called soon on a spiritual journey in the making.

The invitation to connect with yourself, others, and me in a different, and perhaps you’ll even find it to be richer, way is available. 

Nothing is permanent and everything is constantly reinventing itself. We’ll see where the energy takes us.

No matter what I’m doing and where I am, the threads between us all are woven together and my heart is always the guidance in between the collective noise.

I truly believe the revealing answers lie there for how to move forward through the evolution of the world and when we come to make peace with all of our parts, we will better understand how to create with them more responsibly and for the highest good for all to experience.

Much love always to you all.

~ End of today’s important share on changes. Below is just for anyone feeling the call to work with a crystal being for their own evolutionary journey right now ~

Last share for today will be a guided gift to the previous crystal offering I shared.

In the last couple of days I meditated on things and received the message to release the beings that are still in fluctuation of connecting with their keepers/cocreators, and any others that may step forward in the days ahead, at a very large discount to support the energies I’m talking about – no matter how that reflects in exchange for originally acquiring them.

The time is now. They need to do their mission. Their people need all the support if that’s what is calling. And so I release them with love. May they meet with their missions and heart homes in divine timing, however that unfolds. And in the interim, they remain loved space holders in the unfoldings ahead.

The 1/11/1 gateway anchored in some incredible insights around all of this and I’m supporting it whole heartedly. On top of that, an unusual, but not surprising amount of energetic shuffling has taken place with the 2 giant master crystal skulls especially over the course of this past week.

This always happens when energies are in fluctuation, missions get stepped up, and particular souls’ energetic signature lights up with greater magnetism to the harmonics at work.

Twice, the large rose quartz skull was reserved and released, until she finally landed with the perfect cocreator whose energy had been anchoring her since the start. She has been homed and I couldn’t be happier to know where she’s going and how the energies of these two Soul Star Elder Master beings will stay connected.

The same has taken place with the giant amethyst master skull, being reserved and released, but she is still awaiting that perfect connection to anchor. I have a strong feeling her person knows, just like with the rose quartz skull, but has been waiting for the right moment or sign. Hopefully the hefty discount at the below link might help with that.

And for the first time, even the smaller pieces also were on hold and released. So they are also at the link with a big discount to support their homing.

Some of these people shared with me their personal journey with this and how a huge healing took place through their temporary time of tuning in with them, so they felt they could let them move forward. And I’ve received a lot of inquiries with people still checking in and reflecting. Their energies are very specific and potent – more than I’ve shared even in the general info listings. In some ways, ahead of their time, as often I’ve felt the visions and feelings I receive are, which take time for the collective, and even myself, to catch up with.

So, their exchange is being cut, regardless of any perceived loss on my side. The gain, for me, is how they support people when that’s needed most. If they can help in even half the way they have for me, then that is more than perfect. And I’m SO happy that so many people received from them so far, as well. If they end up only needing to be seen and not moving to a new home, that will also serve the highest good and make my heart happy. I’m sure I don’t even hear of all of the ways this takes place, as many people I know just privately tune in to the videos and shares to do work with the crystal beings from afar – another gift of sharing in these ways, as the reach is unlimited.

In any event, the page below reflects the discounted offerings. The top of the page shares all the forms of exchange that can be received. I can do PayPal again, but unfortunately am unable to place direct button links on my website, as they made things incredibly challenging to do so. Sometimes not all updates are efficient! Lol! So, please just reach out if I can be of assistance.

Crystals & Crystal Skulls

How have you been experiencing the start of 2026 so far?

Any subtle energetic shifts you notice or do you sense a different undercurrent in the air?

We are still in the influence of the Full Wolf Supermoon in Cancer, so it wouldn’t be strange to feel a jolt of emotional intensity or resurgence of old wounds.

There is always the power of choice in our hands to move us through the other side of the feelings that arise. Energy innately moves. To get stuck is an invitation to open and soften even more.

Self nurturing and emotional caretaking may be calling to your heart extra right now. And perhaps you might even be pondering your own personal needs more than usual, and how that plays out in terms of external pressures or pleasing others you’ve been more used to doing in your relationships.

I think many people feel like they need to rush out and get going on accomplishing things when the start of a new year begins, but perhaps Winter’s wisdom is more telling than an accepted idea we think we need to follow through on.

Deep resting, softness, slowing down, and tending to the callings within are highlighted now, even though our egos might think we should be doing a lot more.

The start of the year offers stillness for us to move more into the spaciousness of breath and feeling. It’s easy to get caught up in heady things, alone, and forget the body’s natural wisdom, the feelings’ natural rhythm, and the spirit’s deeper knowing. While we’re all different and have unique strengths, we do still all share a human experience and living in ideas alone can be limiting to the breadth of possibility that spirit in flesh gifts us.

That’s not to say you might begin something that’s been calling to your heart or feel more inspired with forward momentum on a halted project at this time. It’s just a whisper that the energy of the season is steady and deliberate, with progress percolating in the background and attraction taking place as frequencies clarify in the surrender.

Being gentle with ourselves will actually support longevity of intentions, as well as align us with opportunity and flow.

Over the years, this approach has proven supportive for me and effective with intentions. And right now long sleep and lingering-in-bed mornings, taking things slowly, and exploring new depths of my heart feel good to my body and soul.

In the meantime, Christmas brought a wonderful storm that made it enticing enough for us to venture onto the slopes for the first time this season, despite it being a holiday weekend.

So, after our time away at my parent’s house, we got on the mountain and got in three consecutive days of really great skiing. The snow was my kind perfection to make it enjoyable with sunshiny days.

I realized that I finally have that muscle memory with skiing, which is a huge shift for me given my late bloomer learning with this activity. That feels like a milestone and breakthrough. I also noted that I instinctively was applying a new step of training to my skiing. Each year I seem to organically add on elements that I’ve seen or learned from Dave, when I’ve been ready for them. The good snow added to my confidence to intuitively put it in action.

After that last storm system the weather shifted to a mix of sunny and some cloudy and rainy days, but we’re now getting hit with another storm.

And as you can see, the landscape is back to that Winter Wonderland I love so much.

It brought over a foot at our altitude…much more up top. Days of good skiing call, with ongoing white blankets continuing to spread across the mountains, as the snow faeries enjoy their season.

Our Christmas gift to ourselves was an upgrade of redecorating our living space with colorful chairs, replacing an inner theme that used to match the winter landscape. Eight years of use and animals was a motivating factor that fueled an underlying shift in energy to reflect the changes and expansion our lives have moved into. So the new living and dining room chairs are full of color and unique style, complementing our orange couches and vibrant creative spark we each individually and together are experiencing.

A refresh can support the changes in your life that you are making. Decorating, moving around furniture, doing a wardrobe update, trying different color combos or new styles, getting a haircut, organizing, and cleaning out are all powerful ways to move energy.

Since our recent trips, Dave and I had an igniting of truest heart callings emerge in our own ways.

We are both experiencing the outflow of inner passions and creativity that want to be expressed (for me also an added layer of soul calling), which has our days filled with a new combo of our individual joys mixed with an uptick of self care and exercise (including some shared dance classes), while we look toward the year ahead and where we feel called to journey.

There’s an extra deepening and softening taking place that feels to be guided by the needs of seeds that have been awaiting the right fertilizer and alignment to emerge. This is similar to the cicada who can take 13 to 17 years to start a life cycle anew.

Is anyone else experiencing the readiness for new layers of yourself to emerge and a surge of joy and love on a new level you didn’t know was waiting beneath it all?

It reminds me of Astrid and how she waited at the rescue for those years to be seen and adopted. She had been there one of the longest, passed up because only certain parts of herself were revealed and others she protected until the right alignment took place. The alchemy of our hearts merging and my supporting who she really was to go bigger then ignited her own cicada birthing.

And now I’m feeling nostalgic, but grateful for this moment reflecting on that connection with her.

Meanwhile, in the stillness, I’ve been exploring what the next couple of years of my life might look like and establishing what is both most important to me and integral to my soul in human body at this time on Earth. Voicing these to ourselves and our loved ones is important too. I can see clearly which patterns are now at a tipping point and recognize which pieces are key to finally step into in order to fully activate the rest. Some things are a segue for others to light up, and when done in sequence are like keycodes to unlock them.

What I keep seeing is the main blueprints of my/our spirit/s in flesh finally making sense at this time. And when I/we remain open, nonjudgmental, and trusting, I’ll/we’ll recognize the path on the map with greater understanding and readiness for what it takes to get to the treasure.

I am personally finding this much easier now than before because obstructions have been either removed or recognized and courage of the heart is an old friend rather than a stranger. So even if something seems scary and results are unseen or not fully understood right now, there is a far greater knowing pulsing in every fiber of my being that says, “yes.”

Are any of you feeling similarly with something that is showing up in your life now?

Or are there awakening parts that you might have just accepted as who you thought you were without them, but now know is who you really are with them?

I’m finding that the true reflection of our essence can find an easier way to us now and it will happen organically without having to go after it or logic out how to make it happen.

It’s magnetic.

I’ll share more about how things have been evolving in this vein for me, soon.

We don’t need to have confirmations, yet they are there for support if you are open to receiving them.

I’ve had my share of them as we moved from one year to the next while I’ve been contemplating things.

I haven’t done a tarot reading for a long time, but felt called to do one on Christmas night for myself and it was extremely potent – a five card spread that was so on point and clear to all I have been flowing with and feeling that it literally blew me away and underscored my trust in the messages I’ve been following.

Then on the night of the 30th, while sitting in the jacuzzi by moonlight, an owl started hooting incessantly from a nearby tree. This took place literally right after a major conversation that I could feel hinging within between a very key soul path choice. Trust and courage were highlighted and owl was not going to stop messaging me to listen to my inner voice about the transition at hand – protection is all around. It’s very rare we hear owls, so this one’s timing was uncanny and deliberate, not to mention a voice of cosmic alignment.

Then on New Year’s eve night, after closing out the year with some cleaning out and endings, I did a big energy ritual combined with a reiki healing attunement for everything I feel called to for the year ahead. It felt really empowering and clear.

The next day, on 1/1/1 (2026: 2+2+6 = 10 or 1), an energy breakthrough directly linked to my intentions took place in a surprising way. I also solidly anchored in a decision with full trust, first step action.

Things can change fast. They can also still seem scary and uncomfortable, but with vulnerability an innovative door opens where it might otherwise have seemed impossibly closed. There’s no need to rush into things, however. This is still a time to let things ruminate and explore all possibilities before deciding which feels most aligned.

There’s never a need to jump at the first opportunity. More will come and each time you may discover how much more fulfilling some are than others when you wait with empowered trust.

Also, the way things look now, or look when you first make a decision, won’t necessarily stay that way. Things evolve once energy starts moving.

I am leaning into where the energy feels most fluid and offers most expansive growth potential. Then, trusting in my ability to make new decisions every step of the way, even if that leads elsewhere. This has been my proven process before, but I’m now putting into motion with a new level of choices that have potential to be more impactful. We are always spiraling into new invitations of expansion.

There’s no wrong in changing your mind or your course. Your sail needs to adjust to and follow the wind in order to catch it just right…and when it does, it propels with grace, ease, and swiftness.

While it might be a new year by the accepted Gregorian/Solar calendar, new beginnings and cycles may be anchored in different ways for each of us like the Lunar calendar, Solar Cycle, Spring Equinox, Galactic, and Cosmic rhythms, to name a few.

Or perhaps, even, simply your own inner heart compass.

It’s no surprise that the above sunrise sky photos emanate with love between the flocked trees and quiet of the Winter landscape, shifting between pink and peach shades of tenderness.

The shift of year is a threshold, but the underlying energy is still one of soft reflection to prepare the way and get yourself unified – as within, so without. Perhaps that’s why resolutions have a harder time anchoring because they aren’t based on internal alignment.

So for me, I’m balancing things between making decisions only on a step-by-step, timely basis, feeling into the energies, not rushing, and keeping on top of the inner truths that keep emerging for me to transmute along the way.

I’m grateful for the inner relationship I’m continuing to cultivate and the support and tools I have available.

How do you navigate choices?

2026 is universally a number one year that starts a brand new nine year cycle for the collective and supports a personal destiny creation focus. But this is also about planting seeds for the years to come and not just about having a go get ’em approach.

What steps can you take now that will create effective momentum?

What personal visions are you interested in manifesting?

There are many roads we can take and many ways to experience them.

For me, one of the important things I ask myself is if something is authentic to who I really am, or if it resembles the idea of what others have painted for who they would rather I be that feeds their insecurities?

I continue deepening trust in myself with being able to control my own energy at its highest amplification I’m capable of in each moment, training in how to be responsible with that and in alignment with universal laws and principles, and not willing to stay small because others aren’t ready for what that means.

We all have a unique journey and way to express our multidimensional selves. May you come to know how all possibilities are open to you.

And speaking of multidimensional possibilities, I did share that a group of crystal cocreators would be offered once we stepped into the new year. I’m sharing them here first with my blog friends, before I share them on my social media platform.

At the link below, you’ll find five (my favorite and magickal number) amazing beings that are ready to assist with much of what I’ve been sharing about, today and recently.

This is a group of incredible ones that I’ve been honored to have along on my journey to assist with the energetic shifts that have been hugely integral in all that has been awakened and is manifesting in my life currently. They have been invaluable to opening up new paths and so their leaving is bitter sweet, yet I know with all of my heart they have a continued mission to be of help to others in similar ways because some have specific callings just like us. So, when I received the nudge at the end of the year that they were preparing to connect with someone else, I listened.

There are two giant Elder Masters, two smaller Celestial Starbeings, and one Multidimensional. Although they all share some crossover qualities, these are their main signature energies. They’ve been with me during recent shifts to anchor in the particular frequencies needed and I can’t thank them enough. May they be powerful activators for the hearts who connect with them.

CRYSTALS & CRYSTAL SKULLS

As we come to the end of yet another year, the season of Winter wraps us in a quiet embrace that encourages us to look within.

Here we will discover the subtle prompts that inspire our next steps and whisper to us of the dreams perhaps long forgotten.

Winter also kicked off Capricorn season, which deepens our Earth connection while we relish in the power of stillness.

A more mindful approach to life is accentuated as the wheel turns from year to year.

If you’ve been oscillating or holding back, committing to something is what Capricorn energy will assist you with during the Winter of your reflection.

What you discover in your heart, desires your willingness to show up for it and deem it of value – perhaps even integral to the essence of who you are that you can no longer keep at bay.

This might be a time for deepening and grounding into a sacred bond of devotion with yourself to stay the course with something important to you.

Slow and steady helps you to build something that withstands time.

Winter is patient.

Be like Winter and show up for the whispers of your heart.

We are also soon to be leaving the Year of the Wood Snake to gallop into the Year of the Fire Horse come February 17th.

I found it quite symbolic that on Christmas day I found a baby snake on our walk after the festive meal with my family.

The snake had been sadly flattened, likely by a bike or something. I immediately thought of how we are ending the Year of the Snake and the ways in which it related personally for me.

It’s also interesting that it resembled the snake wrapped around my wrist and hand.

It’s a great time to reflect on the things you might still want and need to shed.

The more we can face our fears, the more energized and freely we’ll embark on bold new adventures.

I’m personally excited for the energy of this next year, as it speaks to me deeply.

I love the numbers of 2026 reflecting my birthday too. Something about this next year feels particularly pivotal – an invitation to a new adventure of heart and spirit in body.

The Fire Horse feels extremely liberating and resonant for unleashing dreams and passions at the core for me that I’ve recently uncovered in these last few months of 2025.

It’s a reclaiming of authentic parts lighting up and going bigger – not a personality shift. My progressed Moon in Sagittarius (returning to its natal placement) is also stoking the fire for this year’s energies.

And although like any year that can have its challenges, most of that depends on how we ride with the energy or try to rein it in.

How much we’ve done the previous work will support greater ease or highlight disruption.

The Fire Horse brings bold and significant transformational opportunities. This can be a year for breakthroughs and really dynamic energy, innovation, and passion. Horse wisdom shows us how momentum works through alignment instead of force and how this comes through deep tuning in to the knowing in your heart and body, as well as in the elements all around you. The element of Fire intensifies all of that already freedom-loving nature of Horse.

This is a year for courage and taking action, but doing so in rhythm with your heart’s truth. Things will move faster with opportunities unexpectedly popping up that could lead to a bolder, brighter and truer you.

This is emboldened embodiment.

To me, embodiment is fundamental and the most powerful form of effective change.

Those of you who have been with me long likely have seen the shift with this space, as I’ve leaned away from focusing on sharing advice and moved more into sharing from personal experience and inspiration. I feel that anchoring in the vibrational frequencies by way of living it is more energetically powerful than anything I might try to communicate or teach verbally.

This blog has become more of a form of expressing embodiment and doing my best to live in alignment with what I believe. It’s important to me that when someone meets me in person that they come face-to-face with the same person who has expressed themselves here, as this has been my lifelong commitment to daily improving how I walk the talk. It takes practice and effort to align ourselves energetically from the inside out, as there are many layers of complexity to integrate and transmute. It may be a life-long venture, but one I personally deem invaluable.

Living by example is words in action.

I think this makes the difference also when we listen to someone speaking. Sometimes things feel off and you don’t quite know why. It’s about vibrational resonance.

Things can look or sound a particular way, but are they authentically aligned and in motion of being?

No matter how eloquently or intellectually we can communicate something, the question boils down to, are we living it?

Who we are and are being in every moment is, in my opinion, the most powerful gift we bring to this experience of life and to each other alongside sharing love. I find that nothing else that we portray or say will have as profound an effect on the frequency of everything and everyone around us than the essence of our embodiment.

Like a picture, embodiment paints a thousand words.

What are your most passionate dreams about?

What feels discordant with what you express or believe and how your actual experience is looking and feeling like?

If you see things you don’t like out there, how are you aligning in here about it?

Making peace with the undercurrents and conflicting energies within, starts to reweave a new tapestry of coherence without.

That all said, my personal intention ongoing through the New Year and beyond is to continue to do my best to embody and hold my personal vibration as an anchor in the world.

We each have our own vibrational frequency to embody and share.

May we all walk with greatest integrity of heart into this new year and beyond.

Wishing everyone a bold and bright 2026.

I’ll be sharing some very special crystal friends once we kick off the year and will have more new things to share as the days unfold.

Until then, may these Winter days bring you into greater alignment with the natural rhythms of you.

Returning home I already feel like a hibernating bear. I’ve been relishing in long restful nights, retreating into myself, and enjoying the storms that just kicked in two days after we settled back.

They began the 19th, coinciding with the new moon and celebrating a prelude to Solstice. They are bringing nonstop rain that’s supposed to turn to snow soon. So there’s a good chance we’ll have a white Christmas.

A very different reality than what we just returned from, as I’ll share in a moment.

But alongside catching up and prepping for the holiday and year’s end, I’ve noted wild energies in the background as 2025 comes to closure. There’s a continued theme of splitting realities very clearly taking place and everyone choosing completely different experiences. Dramatic and intense on one end and flow and ease on the other, with all variations in between. But even within the more flowing realities, I also see and experience multidimensionality unfolding.

There is no longer awareness of just a singular path and operating in more than one world at once is not only possible, but probable.

When things become intense, we have a tendency to tighten, fight, or withdraw (maybe even fully check out) – hardening ourselves in ways that shuts out our true voice and light, inevitably adding layers of stress to the mix.

I find that softening helps me to stay present to higher self guidance, reigning in ego that might otherwise want to go on the attack or shrivel away from a false sense of feeling defeated.

Softening helps you reclaim your true emotional power, deepens connection, calms the nervous system, and enhances intuition. A gratitude soak in tender presence does wonders for the alchemy of your heart and helps you stay in alignment.

That’s one of the gifts I loved about our recent time away, was the extra space for presence I had amidst these crazy energies swirling collectively. It’s invaluable to me to focus on the reality I want to create and embody that as much as possible. And yes, that could be more than one reality too. We are limitlessly creative beings.

It’s been quite active this year here, so a different kind of getaway that would allow spaciousness for ourselves felt in order.

These days, this kind of intentional crafting of how time is spent feels extra important and integral to how everything else in life unfolds. Too much focus is on giving our creative power and energy away to so many external things.

Mindfulness is a moment-to-moment practice that if disregarded, the world drags you along instead of you creating your own experience of the world.

We decided on a cruise, but also wanted convenience with travel and found one that enabled us to drive to the port, sail, and drive back home after.

It was also a cruise that had many days of just sailing on the open ocean without anywhere to be, leaving it up to us to design each day, while having everything else taken care of.

Personally, I was excited about this as both a writing sabbatical to get a good flow going again, and as a way to just tune in and surrender to what has been coming through to prepare for the new year ahead.

It felt like the perfect mid-holiday reset to stay extra balanced while heightened activity is usually rampant during year’s end.

Slow, sacred work is accentuated by this time of year, as opposed to the way we’ve been accustomed to go about things.

Dave had only ever been on one cruise in the past. I’ve been on a few – a couple growing up and one when I was in my early thirties. So, we used this as an experiment to see if it might be an addition to travels ongoing.

The resulting answer was a resounding yes. Of course, curating the type of cruise is still something that is key for anyone to know the kind you want and things you’re looking for on the ship itself. And, also how you want to curate your days while on the cruise. We seemed to have found a great balance and overall, found it exceeded our wishes.

The cruise was sixteen days to the Hawaiian Islands and Ensenada with eleven full sailing days just out in the Pacific Ocean, five port stops, and then the return morning of the seventeenth day. The sailing days allowed us to design a unique experience and this is where the cruise became a blend of solo and shared ones. Our room had a private balcony offering us an oceanfront sanctuary.

I spent most of my days on the balcony, writing, reading, relaxing, sunning, and receiving the energy of the ocean and full moon, which happened to kick off things with this trip.

I felt more than content…I was in my personal heaven.

I did check out three classes, once each – Tai Chi, Salsa, and Line Dancing, but ultimately discovered I loved my private time more, which balanced out the rest of the day amidst people where I would go to the gym in the morning, have meals in the dining areas and buffets (including a five course gourmet menu at each restaurant plus dessert), pick up a special coffee, walk laps around the deck by sun or moonlight, and listen to evening entertainment or catch a show.

Dave especially enjoyed his daily ukulele classes and sitting in on some talks about wildlife and the islands. He actually got to perform in one of the last evening’s shows with his ukulele class, accompanied by hula dance guests who had also been practicing the entire cruise to get ready for this.

I loved getting to know the employees and seeing them each day and evening. You become regulars at your favorite spots and look forward to the live music and conversations. I actually miss them now.

There were many fun mocktails for me to enjoy, so bar hopping was a treat.

It was fun following around our favorite musicians at their performance times and taking in each spot that were just a couple of minutes apart.

There’s really no where else I can think of that you can do this so easily. My favorite was Oliver’s piano bar lounge act who always had me laughing and smiling the whole way through his show.

We also took in a few shows, but the music scene was our favorite relaxing venues to unwind and enjoy the talent.

I also loved the festive energy, with Christmas trees everywhere and holiday celebrations lighting up the energy of the ship.

It was so much fun to have an excuse each evening to get dressed up and finish off the night with a Christmas tree or other fun find photo.

Living in the mountains, we mostly spend our time outdoors, with the occasional event, and always eat at home unless meeting up with friends for a lunch.

So, my creative heart enjoyed opportunities to drape myself in the current mood.

Our first evening had a Christmas tree lighting show and our last night included a Christmas caroling event in the main Piazza.

And of course there was the ocean….my favorite part.

I literally shift into a different aspect of myself, depending on where I am – as we are all multidimensional beings…but the ocean reflects the depth of my heart.

As a Pisces, I LOVE being on the ocean and the more movement I can feel, the better.

The water is pure bliss for me.

I slept so good rocked by the water. It’s my personal sweet lullaby for sure.

Waking in the night to see the full moon over the water, getting up to see the sunrise, and watching sunset were definite highlights.

Each one was so magickal!

Being on the water so long was like a birthing womb for me and I recognized right away that this is where I was meant to be for current energies streaming in. Kind of like showing up at a grid point of precise cosmic alignment for clearest channeling opportunity.

We left on December 1st and the full moon was on the 4th.

I got to watch the moon shapeshift and illuminate the mystical skies.

I noted that after settling in a few days on the water my crown chakra started to experience the recalibrating pulses I am used to only when new energy is coming in strong. I could feel my crown pulse and throb as it was activated and this resulted in my body needing to just be for a couple of hours each day when it did.

It would subside after that and start up the next day like it was coming in waves and each time was different. This took place right before, during, and couple of days after the full moon until we landed at our first stop – the Big Island of Hawaii. It felt to be an initiation.

It was perfect because I was sitting on the balcony when these incidents would kick in strongest and it was like a beautiful nurturing invitation from the ocean to lay there and surrender while she swaddled me in the frequencies to assist the process.

This, I find to be the most supportive – the surrender and allowing. So I relaxed into the integration taking place and released any need to do things.

We often disregard this kind of presence, labeling it as lazy or not accomplishing anything when in fact it is an intentional and sacred act where the internal world is extremely busy – you just don’t see it. It’s also essential for supporting, integrating, and aligning your external actions – one does not work without the other because that’s the nature of unity consciousness.

My own birth moon energies relish in the need for quiet and spiritually retreating to be with my feelings and experiences alone.

This cruise was so perfect for that and I truly valued being able to just be with the ocean of my essence.

I have a very deep, private emotional landscape that requires specific types of nurturing and has particular kinds of needs.

I deepened into embrace of it all with this last potent moon of 2025.

And found illuminating clarity in both the shadow and light that the new energy was upleveling.

Over the course of the first five days on the ocean, I saw the most consecutive rainbows ever.

They would show up at every side of the ship when I looked out across the expansive horizon and also as punctuation points.

I even saw a full arc rainbow in the water itself, which I’ve never seen before.

And the rainbows continued at the port stops like a welcoming, including a double rainbow.

The first touchdown after five days on the ocean was the Big Island – my second time back to this home of four active volcanoes. I feel them as the blood of the Earth pulsing with creative force and reflective of the blood pulsing through our human veins. Hence, the island is continually growing, as lava releases and turns to rock – creating more Earth. The Root Chakra awakens as the island is full of life force and vitality. Mauna Loa is the largest, active volcano on Earth so being here is a way to literally dive into these most primal depths.

It just so happened that episode 38 of Kilauea Volcano started just after our ship had ported and literally right at the exact time of disembarking on a private e-bike tour to Volcanoes National Park.

The force and activation of this eruption was incredible and awe-inspiring. It sustained for 12.1 hours with rare triple fountains – up to 1100 feet – and one spouting like an arch for the first time (our guide said) that actually took out one of the webcams because of the unusual direction it flowed.

It was a very rare, awesome gift to be in presence of and is unlikely to happen more than once in a lifetime if you don’t actually live there.

You could hear the force and feel the heat even a mile away.

To be there at the exact timing spoke of energetic alignment and deep connection for me given we landed there for just hours of one day.

After the full supermoon potency of crown chakra activation – again telling me to surrender and receive the energies, relax and allow – more layers of this experience became clear.

It was a timed rewiring and initiation that arriving to the islands helped root and integrate. The manifestation of rainbows after rainbows were confirming.

Being greeted by the eruption spoke powerfully to me, was anchoring and also a welcoming back.

As you might recall, for my 50th birthday trip there I connected a lot with Pele and felt a sacred dance shared in the alchemy of her energy.

I experienced a reclaiming of core Root energy then, as she cradled me in her creative womb.

I was claiming the empowerment of my own life force and rewriting lineages of patterning.

Her eruption, this time, was pure magick and extremely nurturing. There was this synergy between our energetic bodies where I didn’t know where she and I started and ended. The cosmic precision of crown chakra recalibration had then moved into primal root chakra release, and harmonizing was in order.

And literally right after experiencing the eruption for a couple of hours, biking all around the crater to see and connect with it from different angles, my crown chakra completely did just that. Upon driving to the volcano things had increased and my body was in a liminal space. Then poof, gone! Eruption transmutation and a new calm, filled deep passionate joy anchored.

So from ocean and moon heightening, I experienced earth and volcanic deepening – releasing the pressure, alchemizing it, and bringing the energies into balance for new creative emergence.

Fire and water were harmonizing in partnership on this trip and I became aware of how to move these energies within in ways that they can dance together and be a combined force, rather than separate.

There is fire behind my water indeed.

And water flowing through my fire.

After the volcano journey with the molten lava force, the guide took us to a black lava sand beach we’d been to the first time as well.

This gifted sighting of eight beautiful green sea turtles basking in the sunshine atop the lava rock.

The sea turtles truly embody the wisdom of both that fluidity and grace in the water and the sacred grounded presence.

And the appearance of this rainbow energy coming toward me in opposite direction to the sunlight from above my crown showed up.

Notice the tree has an upside down heart in it as well.

Both my inner dragon and ancient turtle energy were all swirling within me in this void of creation at my core. It was both peaceful and potent. Fire and water…a beautiful alchemy weaving a new reality.

There are more intimate layers to this experience that left me speechless.

Never more than now do I feel the splitting of worlds, but when the depth of your parts are integrated and transmuted, there is wholeness where your new door leads.

It was a blessing to see and be a midwife of this birthing both within and without.

Each port stop held something beautiful to unwrap – beach and swimming time, connecting with an ancient banyan tree, enjoying vegan food delights, tropical hikes immersing in the land and majestic peaks, and snorkeling adventures.

We visited Hawaii, Oahu, Kauai, and Maui.

Maui magick concluded the light codes that awaited me in the Hawaiian Islands, as our last port stop there. It continued in the vein of pure heart connection and embodied harmony, reflecting a celebration of love, joy, beauty and cosmic channeling.

Journeying on a five-hour catamaran eco-tour thru the wonder of Maui’s pristine waters became another welcoming party bursting my heart open wider like the flying fish all around us soared.

We stopped first at Turtle Arches where underwater lava formations can be found and this is where a sea turtle came to say hello, gracefully gliding thru the liquid starlight. She came straight at us and I couldn’t help but feel the presence of my dear tortoise Gaia, who left my side years ago, in those cosmic eyes. A cosmic dance went on a couple of minutes before she disappeared into the watery abyss.

Then on the way to the crescent-shaped Molokini Crater, humpback whales during the very beginning of their mating season gave quite a display of welcoming and joy too.

Their songs had actually been heard in the water long before seeing them. It was such awe to be in their presence.

This was only supposed to be a snorkeling adventure, not a whale or dolphin watching tour, so all of this was icing on the cake that no one had expected. The captain said he’s also never had the crater area private before for snorkeling. The colorful and exotic fish and coral were extraordinary and a juvenile whitetip reef shark was a beautiful gift to experience during the second round of snorkeling – each being sharing amazing energy.

On the way back, more humpback whales made sure to say goodbye.

Then, after that the ship quieted, people returned to their seats or went back inside. I remained at the front by myself (my favorite place to be) for quite some time, connecting more deeply with the ocean, the creatures here, and the love in my heart I was outflowing. I was engaged in a very beautiful and intimate experience within that overwhelmed me to sacred depths.

And just when one thought it might all be over, that’s when suddenly a pod of spinner dolphins appeared, mirroring the love and joy I felt and was sharing.

A lot of sound healing elements were being transmitted, which will be key for the next doorway.

They leapt with joy and glided like love rockets through the water.

It couldn’t have been a more extraordinary day – none of which is guaranteed to see. I’ve visited the islands before, but these shorter day stops I’ve come to see were grid points for me to both help activate and receive activation from – hence very deliberate touchdowns, timing and experiences that were nothing short of divine alignments.

I hope you can also feel and connect with the energy – perhaps being the perfect alignment as you conclude your own end-of-year process.

We then had five more ocean days, concluding with an Ensenada port stop, followed by a last voyage day at sea.

In Ensenada we opted to just do a brief walk through town and take advantage of relaxing while people were out and about. None of the excursions really spoke to us.

A touch-in felt enough and sea lions seemed to agree, as they bid me a farewell from my balcony sanctuary.

There were many blessings and abundant gifts on this journey. Again, being on the ocean for so long was supportive for my surrendering deeper into that personal frequency flow, swaddled in the cosmic ocean womb. I was in a suspended sacred vessel of transmutation at very core levels and this felt most important right now for upcoming preparations.

Letting go, embracing the invitations, and trusting are powerful ways for new doorways to open.

I did a lot of that and even when things came through that didn’t seem to make sense or felt scary, I stretched into trusting even more.

Yet, even though I was able to find my flow with things, as I mentioned at the start, the energies abound are intense and will affect us all differently. That was reflected in some unusual events while on board including not one, but two emergency medical evacuations by helicopter (very rare) out in the middle of the ocean that took place on our ship. I sent prayers and Reiki to these people, as well as the other four people on board that announcements were made for medical help to be sent to their rooms.

The water realms hold seeds of emotional and subconscious wisdom, hidden riches, the power of the shadow, deep inner worlds of dreams and spiritual potentials. These are the areas that drive the outer experience, can be most challenging to navigate, and are essentially at the core of what we see evolving in the world. This takes profound vulnerability to embrace, which isn’t always easy with the layers upon layers to explore that don’t come with a guidebook for the journey.

I experienced some profound realizations on this journey that will shape the next year and forward quite differently.

Some extraordinary things unfolded indeed, some too personal to share, but Mother Earth’s expressions, the Divine grace that streamed through, and some sacred connections brought soulful tears of recognition and also immense joy from the depths of my soul to discover.

It’s incredible how much more can crack open within the vortex of our hearts, especially when we are willing to face ourselves.

Returning home is always a bitter sweet experience, but in all honesty, true home is in my heart and that can be accentuated through a place, person, or experience of aligned frequency.

When we are most fully embodying essence, then these reflections express in profound ways. The synergy is amplified and that creates what feels and looks like magick.

It also doesn’t hurt if you walk through life with open hand and open heart.

I’ll repeat again….

Your inner world creates your experience. Not the other way around.

It’s only in the moments when I relinquish this truth that I find myself off-course or stressed. When left to my own devices, this is never the case and that’s actually a choice. Coming back to that awareness in each moment something triggers or swings you away from your home zone will help course correct the energy.

So, that’s where I choose to stay…open hearted.

This is one of my favorite photos from the cruise, below.

I discovered this magickal chair in the back of a bar that was later removed and never appeared again after this photo.

It brings to mind this quote, as I was feeling very Alice in Wonderland.

“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” ~ from Alice in Wonderland

Faith is believing in the divine as a daily practice even when it defies logic and what you think as reality.

Blessings can appear where and when you least expect them if you never give up hope.

Stay curious. Feed your imagination. Cultivate an open mind. And trust with all of your heart.

New doors will always open once others have closed.

The extraordinary is just a belief away.

Wishing you all a magickal Winter Solstice. I hope the new moon energies are igniting a unique sense of possibility within you for the upcoming year.

Merry sweetness to all from my heart to yours, and many blessings for however you celebrate this holiday time.

I wish you much peace, harmony, grace, and flow.

I’ll probably share one more post before year’s end, but have been told there won’t be any more crystal releases until maybe the start of 2026.

The cactus blossom makes things look so easy the way she beautifully rises and unfurls her delicate petals between the harsh cactus spines.

She speaks of resiliency and adaptability in the way she thrives in tough conditions.

Her vulnerability reflects true strength, as she embodies the essence of grace as her reality, rather than anxiety over what could appear as a threatening environment. 

“What if it were easy?” she whispers.

I shared this message before, but it spoke to me again as some guidance for navigating the energies many are going through these days.

Too often we spend time worrying and conjuring up every angle in our heads of the worst case scenario and how hard something will be.

But what if instead we asked, “What would this look and feel like if it were easy?”

And then, imagined a variety of potential scenarios of exactly how wonderfully fluid and magickal that would be, rather than every awful way we normally do.

What if we then moved forward with that embodied emotion and belief?

The reason we stress is because we’re operating on old habits, conditioning, and patterns that are in cruise control rather than taking control of the steering wheel and guiding our lives along the path intentionally with conscious presence to our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and even how our bodies are reacting to those things in each moment.

We often are forcing things, operating on “shoulds”, stretching ourselves thin, doing more than we actually need to be because we “think” we have to, over-complicate situations by worrying, and miss the simple paths because we believe, “Life just COULDN’T be THAT easy!”

As the end of the year comes soon to closure and I know many of you might start thinking on New Year’s resolutions or simply wanting to rewrite your life for the upcoming new year, perhaps you might reflect upon how to rewrite your approach to life and begin a new chapter with you as the author, and the path as one of ease and grace.

This is also the path of alignment where flow transmutes resistance and life force can move freely as is its innate nature to do.

We were wandering through an invigorating, ancient volcanic region a few days ago where this message was inspired by the cactus fields, and the beautiful blossoms spoke their golden alchemy.

The past two weeks while we’ve been away, I’ve noted that root chakra energy has been on high again and the lower chakras partnering in with that dance.

These are areas especially overlooked, as people have desired to climb higher and ascend, leaving behind the “root” of things.

This results as difficulties with manifesting in the fresh realities because a reclaiming and integration of the nature of our physicality has been denied, devalued, or simply forgotten.

These energy themes have been reflected in the landscapes we’ve had opportunity to wander through on hiking breaks in between care taking and very rain days.

Since the first day we left on our road trip and took a day in the Mammoth area to break up the drive, deep Earth energies were speaking to me to work with, within and without.

Some vistas even mirrored the Pyramids of Giza, echoing my journey of reclaiming in Egypt recently.

We’ve wandered through a lot of ancient terrain, including the Mammoth Earthquake Fault and a lot of volcanic regions.

I was gifted several treasures to work with including 30 million year old lava rock, obsidian, agate, and light blue chalcedony to name a few – all being of volcanic origins and rich with the current energies streaming through for awareness and integration.

And we encountered a variety of beautiful creatures, too, that each carried their own potent medicine.

There were a bunch of magickal things around each wild corner to breathe in.

This included stumbling upon a spiral labyrinth that just “happened” to be by a hiking trail, offering us opportunity to anchor in some intentions with my favorite kind of mindfulness practice – a walking meditation.

As I share this post we are traveling back home now.

It was a productive and important couple of weeks helping Dave’s dad and stepmom with many life things.

It also gave us opportunity to spend time with their special “emotional” needs rescue coonhound, Grace, taking her on walks and giving her extra love and play time.

She has a hard time trusting people, as she has deep emotional trauma, so these weeks were taken slowly and with great care.

The connection meant more to me because of this.

This is one of my strengths, so I don’t find it hard to be with the patience and presence it requires.

She and I share a love for stopping to smell all of the roses, clover, and explore any little discoveries along the way too.

She was especially fond of jogging and running with me, instead of walking, since she doesn’t get the chance for that.

I also had time to reveal and connect to some deeply heart based realizations and activations during these weeks, so “elevating the heart” was the medicine for our time away, along with rooting into sacred origins of the primal nature of being.

I can definitely feel in the last month and a half, that return in the most personal of ways – not just as a collective process – but a reclaiming of my original codes.

The dreams that were actually key seeds, are now sprouting.

There is grace within our sacred origins.

The photos laced throughout this post are some of the landscapes we journeyed through on our breaks and in betweens.

And now we’re returning to the alpine realms where sunshiny end-of-Autumn days await us after snow danced there again while we were away.

We return just in time to share a festive Thanksgiving ~ “Gratitude” ~ Day with my family, touch in with some of our friends briefly, do some quick garden Winter prep, unpack and repack, then head out once again.

It will be a quick, few day turnaround indeed before heading out again on a different kind of vacation starting this Sunday the 30th through December 17th.

Then busy holiday times begin. I can’t believe it will be nearly Christmas when I return, and the end to 2025 so near.

I haven’t time for much else in my few days home, so this is why I’m getting this post out now, since I won’t be back until mid December.

Until then, if you missed out on any of the newest crystal friends, I do have a surprise that the pink amethyst star being is back at special offering for this unique one at such a large size. This beauty was released by their claimer for personal reasons and so is now available again. Sometimes this happens and it’s part of highest alignment being honored. I can’t believe she’s still around, though, especially with themes of origins swirling around. The color and sparkle is far more beautiful in person. Perhaps she’ll end up having a new mission here. Time will tell.

For now, you can find her below and if you’ve been challenged with purchasing options, I do have a way to provide Paypal if you prefer or need that. Just send me a message and I can assist. And just a heads up that if she calls and you purchase after 11/27, she won’t ship out until I’m back in mid December. If you purchase on or before 11/27, I can get her out this Friday the 28th.

Pink Amethyst Star Being

Wishing you all a beautiful Gratitude Day, however you are called to spend it.

Let it remind you how this practice of being grateful can be a daily game changer.

Our perspective shapes everything.

Autumn’s colors continue to change with the winds and the temperature has been moody. It’s been a see-saw back and forth between a taste of chill and a kiss of warmth.

Life these days seems always unpredictable and so the best thing we can do is be ready for anything and get better at swinging with the shifts so that we can come to know our resiliency more.

We’ve had a particularly beautiful season painted in abundant splashes of all the vibrant shades that Fall has to offer.

And mixed with sunshine and frost, it all makes for quite the enchanted display.

I often feel like the landscapes we hike through are surreal.

Life has more often than less, also felt that way to me.

Probably more so these days.

In the midst of wild cosmic rides and earth rooted perplexities, there’s these whispers of clarity that linger on the impermanent in between and provide just enough voice to the truth of your heart.

This is the space where nothing else matters and that eventually will help shape your reality if you practice leaning into it more.

Keep nurturing the courage to support this inner stillness and the voice of your true power that emerges when you do.

As I shared once, we are brilliant self-sabotagers, but we are also reluctant magicians fearing our own power.

Whether it’s answers you seek about where to go next, or answers about any question that arises in the moment, much can be discovered through an honest reflection, curiosity, and a willingness to take action in any small way that supports a feeling or nudge.

The rest will unfold from there and reveal itself as you move along.

Not surprisingly, I feel a transformational rewiring happening for myself. The past week it’s been very obvious to me how the energy upgrades from our Egypt trip are now really starting to recalibrate things internally. This, coupled with the increase in cosmic energies streaming in our atmosphere, have found me with little appetite, but loads of energy and even exhilaration, then a need for shut down and absolute surrender and rest. It is a deep metamorphosis.

And that seemed to get a cheer of agreement from this little tree frog who jumped into my hand when I was uncovering a crystal in the soil the other day.

This little one was literally hiding in the ground, likely in a semi-hibernation preparation, but shared some sweet moments of renewal with me in the sunshine.

This was a particularly amazing day for smoky quartz finds.

This being one of the amazing gifts that actually showed up right after Mr. Frog appeared – talk about good luck.

I’ve now been on this hike three times this year and each time gifted me quite a collection of crystals, along with animal messengers.

The first time it was a rubber boa I saved, the next it was three does that let me share space with them as they grazed, and now a tiny tree frog who was getting ready for the shifting seasons.

Apparently, we both aren’t quite ready to go full on into hibernation mode yet. There’s a lot percolating as we reclaim parts we never were actually ready to give up.

That’s a place I find myself landing in right now and seems to be a theme – reclaiming.

As I mentioned in my return post, I’m always ready to embrace the depths of the journey and being in Egypt has definitely rekindled and awakened new layers to explore.

Egypt has been a womb of clarity and strength for me to access more of my wholeness – the multidimensional consciousness that is more than just who stands before you in this reality.

And this multidimensional focus is an experience that is increasingly lighting up for many these days and as it does, it is helping people to transform their lives in ways that don’t necessarily call for a cut from everything they know, but instead supports a shift into broadening the total experience by trickling out from embodiment and shifting everything in vibrational resonance to that.

As Lee Harris shared in his most recent Energy Update, “You can become an emitter of multidimensional possibilities.”

I continue to stretch into that breath of existence even though it defies logic in the here and now and more often than less, means I may be walking paths of starlight in the abyss of only my own heart.

And yet, I know I am never alone when in my essence. 

I’ve always been someone who will not be swayed by the stories of a limited reality than what I know as my own experience of expansive potential.

When I journey back to Egypt I feel every molecule in my physical body light up in mirror to what I know as my truth.

And with each journey there, I continue to be in awe of how easily the veils drop when you have the courage to journey into the inner Temple of Mystery.

Each doorway initiates your training in principles of alchemy that can liberate you.

I’m continuing to unwrap this trip’s offerings and especially one in particular that has revealed things about myself that beautifully challenge me to new levels of honing my gifts and how that expresses outwardly.

What we each choose and embody, acts as an anchor and bridge for others.

Each journey back to Egypt keeps increasing and deepening the breadth of experiences and still there’s so much more to unwrap – mostly equating to how the inner journey that is activated, translates into the outer one.

I’m looking forward to how things continue to evolve while the energies settle and organically land. I can already say that things are weaving together quite quickly.

I feel my own return more solid – the reclaiming is strongly rooting – and that is being fueled by an actual return that will resume once again.

I hope everyone had a magickal Samhain/Halloween. I always remember and honor my sweet boy, Cosmo, who slipped through the thin veils on that portal and because of this, is ever-present in our daily lives as if he’s never left.

Life is full between now and end of the year so posts will be when windows of inspiration present themselves.

We just celebrated Dave’s birthday and now we’re about to host Dave’s mom this week. Then a few days after her departure we’ll be heading out to spend 1-2 weeks helping out with Dave’s dad post a non-evasive outpatient back surgery. Then, I can’t believe it will be Thanksgiving, we’ll be heading out for a vacation, and before we know it, Christmas. Goodness gracious!

The holiday season is upon us and another year is coming to closure once again!

That said, if you’ve been coveting one of the crystal skulls that were recently offered, two remain and I’ve been guided to do a Samhain Sale through end of tomorrow 11/2 only on them. That gives me time to get them shipped out this week as well, if they are called home. This sale puts one of them at almost 25% off and the other at 20+% off. Quite the special offering for these here: Crystal Skulls

May all possibilities be open to you!
