This is an important post for me, and since I haven’t written in a while I hope you’ll bear with me for a longer share today that is very dear to my heart.

August slipped away on a Full Blue Moon and we find ourselves deep in Summer’s end with rapid whispers of Autumn rolling in on the transformational breeze.

Days here have been a revealing mix of inner and outer reflections, always mirrored in the natural world around me and Nature’s children that are closest to my heart.

Afternoons returned to flashbacks of June’s every day thunderstorms and rain clouds, as we received our watered down version of Storm Hilary merged with Summer’s end. Late August days have always brought us moisture and clouds, but we saw it come earlier this year and in higher levels.

It’s all been in line with much more moisture-rich seasons, which we’re grateful for here, as well as mirroring the emotional realms vastly flowing these days.

We’re also grateful for the spectacular skies, sunsets and frequent rainbow appearances that these mountain storms have been painting across the canvas from our forest portal.

And the week following the storm, after the clouds over our mountains chimed in with a release of bitter sweet goodbyes, Summer’s last hurrah of perfect temps and long, sunshiny days returned to the stage, before the season’s curtain goes down.

In any event, days feel like being lost in a meadow – and quite literally I am.

Perhaps I’m living a version of my dream – to lay in a field full of rabbits on a planet far, far away.

You may not see the rabbits, but I feel them all around me – always and forever.

Surrounded by lingering and late blooms, newly emerging wild mushrooms, and tall, harvest-like grasses tinted with the glow of a new season making an early appearance, I feel cradled in a nurturing womb where I can imagine-into-life my dream.

I also feel swaddled in Earth’s love and understanding, as the sacred mother that she is always cares for me.

The giant elder trees have been constant companions these days for us, sharing their love and wisdom along the long and winding road.

And the goldenrods have blazoned the land with fields of golden dreams.

They mirror the essence of promises made from the richest of treasures to my heart.

It’s been a season of unusual experiences and sightings, including an abundance of hummingbird moths we’ve never seen until this year, frogs galore (including miniature frogs, less than an inch), very communicative forest friends, two sightings of the same ptarmigan family of four on a hike we frequent, and more.

This has also been the year of the most abundant pollinators we’ve seen – sometimes we’re surrounded by swarms of every variety filling the valleys and fields.

The moisture has brought in renewing energy indeed.

That “Once in a Blue Moon” kind of feeling pervades, as I find myself embracing new processes that break my own patterning, taking HUGE leaps of faith, facing hurdles with greater empowerment, and overall experiencing these incredulous alignments more often, which only happen at rare moments – to include riding the lunar waves of a story I wrote with my paintbrush years ago.

Once in a Blue Moon has become much more than the title of a painting I once created in 2012. It’s been the doorway to profound changes with greatest impact, concluding 11 years later.

But endings are always beginnings.

I still recall when I first hung the painting in my Costa Mesa office, how I woke in the middle of the night to its portal opening and my seeing the Elementals jumping out of it and running across the floor. Where I slept had a clear view of the painting hanging on the wall to my office across the way. I knew then, its magick.

And the painting has since been hanging over Astrid’s main castle, overseeing Wonderland. She’s often climbed on top to reach the Moon and her friends on the other side.

As I mentioned in my last post about ancient energies, this Blue Pisces Moon of the 30th we just experienced, “has a special connection for me.” I had a whisper of foretelling that’s been vibrating in the background like the wings of a hummingbird moth for a little while, especially with some other timings that have been approaching. And like most of us, I held that in its own little side pocket for a while, waiting to see how it would unfold, because the human ego part of me hadn’t yet integrated the reality of it yet. The two still had to merge.

Today’s share is one that brings bitter sweet to the forefront, just as watching Summer pass also carries its own contrast of emotions it stirs up. But in comparison to past experiences that I’ve shared in greater detail, this one will in large part remain an experience for myself alone.

The reason I am sharing some highlights however, is because of how it ties into collective experiences and shifts in motion, and also because you all have been such a huge part of our lives and story – Astrid and mine, that is. I also share to help others who are going through grief at this time, as I know there are many.

The August skies seem to have been preparing the way, as all of those rainbows indeed support the bridge between worlds and mirror the heart of one so dear.

It is with great sadness and immense love that I share with you, my dear friends, that Astrid has returned to the stars and is with our soul family (once in rabbit and tortoise bodies) traveling the Cosmos once again. I know this will hit as a surprise and so I do want to help bridge an understanding and offer some of our story.

But this is not meant to be an announcement bearing only the wave of emotions that may strike a chord of tears, but also a celebration of life and eternal light and love that seeming endings spark into boundless beginnings. Astrid wanted it as such, and so it will be.

Just like ancient parts of me have lit up and are integrating since my 50th year ignited, so too Astrid’s ancientness is a part of that and me – now and always.

Synchronously, the 5th (there’s my 5 again that I’ll be mentioning) theme in Lee’s new September 2023 Energy Update at the 12:33 mark of the video I’m including below is: Ancient Sensory Wisdom returning – experienced through the psychic senses and the body (Oh yes!)

I also resonate with theme 6, as it underscores my experience in personal, especially, and collective interactions of receiving clearer and cleaner vibrations that clarify the truth behind and between words spoken. It is revealing where things don’t match up that others say and do that ultimately invite courageous conversations for change.

But back to the Ancient Openings I was referring to, you may recall our May 2022 Playa del Carmen and March 2023 Hawaii trip had been instrumental, ancient-awakening bookends to my 50th birthday along with all the rest in between that I integrated in Oregon and through our historical Winter, and then the recent 8/8 opening I mentioned in my last post. A LOT has gone into the creating of the now, including years of preparation by the very wise Astrid.

This includes the wildest most potent crystal adventures and friends that came to join us just as we would need them. They’ve been here assisting Astrid, me, and arrived in just enough time for us to begin the preparations for what’s to come while she could ignite that work physically and then continue it from the other side. Amongst them was a very rare crystal that arrived on 8/23 – a date you’ll see works in prominently with the unfoldings. This one is a Blue Tara Lemurian with a huge, prominent lightning strike on its main face, rainbows and much more. It was the only one like it within a pocket found. My timing in seeing it the second it was released is no coincidence. Her energy merges beautifully with everything experienced. Synchronously some other major things arrived that I’ll share about another time, on that day, and even two velvety-soft-like-a-bunny, Lamb’s Ear plants – my favorite – that I planted together. They became my official Astrid and me plants – everything is official Astrid – and she even signed it as so with one bite to a leaf.

I haven’t spoken about things that much, or at all, about our current animal companions’ physical journeys, as I have felt these are mine and ours to process at this time. Therefore, I created a protective bubble with Astrid and removed all distractions or influences. I have very much received guidance to honor and handle the sacred space with Astrid, and to trust myself fully – knowing my own capability to move through it AND that it is in fact part of my path to do this alone. In the past I have been in different places and needing more leaning because of doubting my own emotional state that can understandably create confusion.

I do not have that now.

Since 2008, Dave and I have jointly and separately (but connected) gone through six animal companion transitions that have been the most powerful, life-changing experiences for us both. And we will have a seventh upcoming, as our nearly 17 year old cat Boojum is on his own trajectory – although slower than Astrid’s at this time. I know this space very well and have become versed in the ways of sacred experience that calls upon the deepest trust and faith. It’s not an easy space to navigate, but it IS navigable.

And while I am aware of the timing in terms of my own life shifts, progressions of personal and collective unfolding, astrological evolution, and planetary alignments, I understand the process even without that. These simply underscore what the heart and soul know and can be in tune with when we listen.

For those of you who like to connect those dots, for instance, the 8/23 Mercury Retrograde in Virgo was directly connected to one of the defining events with Astrid – a Virgo herself, I have placements in my 6th house (ruled by Virgo) that connect major healing, evolution and learning through life with animals for me…her 9th (9 is an ending before beginning a new cycle) birthday upcoming (her rescue papers listed 9/11 as her birthday although, at her request, we celebrated it the 15th), her passing just a couple of days after my Virgo dad’s birthday…and yes, this Super Pisces Blue Moon that directly struck my natal Pisces Sun. Not to mention my turning 50 this year within my Chiron Return window, her being my 5th bunny, and all the 55 and 5:55 messaging that came through during what was unfolding, as this mega change, adventure, and freedom 5 is my favorite number and the way Nestor started messaging me when she departed in 2008, which has continued as a messaging system from all of my soul family in the stars now. Phew!

In this year’s potent month of August we also received our last new cedar tree. You may recall we had four new ones put in, but we realized another was needed to complete our privacy screen.

It took a while, but it went in on August 14th – just two days before the New Moon. I found it interesting that the fifth went in just a couple of weeks before my fifth rabbit companion moved on. Each tree now feels representative of each bunny.

These are some of the brief underscores to the vibrational frequencies telling their story from within our hearts.

Just as the outer world has been revealing the vibrational glow of new ways to experience life with more of the truth unleashed.

The short story on a physical level is, through a series of events we discovered out of the blue, Astrid experienced a rapid onset of advanced lymphoma that had spread throughout her body – especially evident in her spleen and bone marrow which created severe anemia (red blood cells were at 22% and platelets had dropped from 300,000 a year ago, to just 22,000) – all literally happening in what seemed like a rare, overnight unfolding that took her from bouncy youth to elder rabbit in the beat of a thumper. Of course, things like this don’t “just” happen. At least not in my book.

Only one odd thing showed up about a month and a half ago, when she stopped coming upstairs but continued all other normal behaviors. Then, more of the dots in the story started to unfold and Astrid began her messaging a couple of weeks ago, which all came to a head on 8/23 and 24.

We learned quite a bit, including something I’ve sensed, but the local rabbit vet never saw – it took going to the best specialists at UC Davis for a full day to unwrap Astrid’s story. I’d always heard about this place, and unfortunately got to experience firsthand how amazing it actually is. I’ve always been disheartened by the lack of veterinarians specializing in rabbits and other small animals, or any animals for that matter other than cats and dogs. So much so, it’s one of the only things I would turn the clock back on and follow through with my childhood desire to be a veterinarian and do just that. UC Davis quality of care and expertise was unparalleled. I couldn’t have been more grateful Astrid received the very best in the end and it gave me hope for the future.

Anyway, there’s a lot to the pages of that book, but it’s always supported and in divine alignment, including (and I just had to mention this, as it speaks to that)…even Astrid’s UC Davis bill was written and supported long ago in the stars, as the next morning after we brought her home we received a check in the exact amount of the bill plus $1 that was from something a few years back Dave had done to support animals.

And the long nearly three hour drive home from UC Davis gifted us this beautiful sky with Moon highlighted by pink, peach and violet clouds – Astrid is loved indeed.

We also got home to unpredicted rain that night. A hawk had greeted us on the way there and my mom said a large hawk was sitting in the marsh next to their house when we were driving home. And three days after her departure we had a large hawk swoop above our heads across the trail we hiked in the rain. Even Dave stopped to say that was a deliberate message.

Hawks, ironically, have always supported and assisted my rabbit friends between challenges and between worlds. Horus has been a prominent figure in my lives and special things came through from him that were incredulous as well, right at the same time of all of this.

Our last days together were filled with precious moments, as I never left her side except to eat and shower. I hunkered down on the floor and slept with her all night or just winks, waking to check on her, clean up if she couldn’t make it to the litter box, clear her nose, feed and give her water if needed, comfort and support her – especially in the first couple of days as she adjusted back from being heavily sedated. The UC Davis doctor had given us steroids that would help make her comfortable during her last days, while suppressing inflammation and advancing of symptoms. These are not meant to be long term, but did help her to regain strength enough to come upstairs one last time on her own and make her rounds to every room and favorite corner to infuse energy everywhere and to say her goodbyes to her beloved home. It also gave her the energy to hold on until the day she chose to leave.

Astrid passed on 8/30 – the Blue Pisces Full Moon.

My simple, but potent painting, Once in a Blue Moon, features a giant Blue Full Moon, the essence of my rabbits Nestor and Joy rebirthing from the waves of fertile creation within the In Between of Earth and Cosmos, and a Cosmic Butterfly soaring through the stars. I’ve always had intent of adding Cosmo, Gaia, and my first rabbit, Twinkie, to the painting where the open space is, and now Astrid will also join. I’ll be doing this between now and end of 2023. I’m curious as to what that will ignite.

Although the connection between me and my dear ones is very personal, they have always had collective connection and reflection. Not only showing up in many people’s dreams over the years, meditations, healing sessions, and hearts, but also helping people I know with miraculous and spontaneous healings, assisting my own healing work with others, and doing collective work round-the-clock. In part, this is why they have had to leave, as their more fragile rabbit bodies were no longer supportive vehicles for their tremendous power, energy, and the next stages of work they were on path to do. Many souls these days depart as they feel they can help with the shifts in greater ways, from a more expansive place. And recently, Astrid had done a LOT of work for others. It was time.

And since I am a Pisces (and Pisces has extra clear access to the collective unconscious) and this is a Pisces Full Moon we’ve experienced, the choosing by Astrid of this potent portal indeed is twofold personal and collective, as One. Not to mention, seems painted as the coded story, the rabbits channeled to me in 2012.

This painting is much more than a visual fantasy indeed. And this “death” is a reset transformation from one side of a door to another.

In my own evolution, I’m so grateful that I’ve been able to hold a collective bridge space of anchored strength for those around me during challenges and soul transformations. In this case, maintaining equilibrium for Astrid, Dave, and the cats during the toughest leg of the journey. I was supporting her needs without ego emotional attachment – only true unconditional Cosmic love. In this way, it assisted Astrid, me, and Dave to have beautiful last days together, receive direct, clear messages and confirmations both through telepathy and her picking Tarot cards as my bunny friends do best, to see her do her magick as she made her last rounds since that’s what magick rabbits do, and supported her not having to do any extra work on my part.

She could lean on me during this important evolution for her, and I could be her bridge to the stars. We had the chance to say and do everything we wanted with her in these last days. It was important to make beautiful memories as celebrations of life.

Of course I’ve been having my healthy human release that comes in waves, once I knew she was free and then could lean on Dave. I find grieving to be so rich and healing. In letting myself go into the depths of emotions I’m able to crack open new layers of possibilities. I found myself mirroring Astrid’s breath and heart of her last minutes in movement of my grief.

The love tears are never something that go away altogether…they are constant droplets of alchemy that stir the molten gold of our hearts to rise in every moment. I also had a release when the doctor first told us of her condition before going in to see Astrid. But then moved into my higher self for the sacred process to come. I am grateful for all that I’ve already gone through and the personal truths I’ve processed over the years through grief, as it’s really helped. Grieving is natural, but without the rest of my personal beliefs and experiences, I can understand how people can’t get through it. One needs an anchor after they deep dive, to help one not to drift endlessly. However you find your center, that process becomes invaluable during challenges.

I am so grateful for the way things unfolded – pure divine grace like a chorus of angels…each of the experiences with our fur babies and best friends have each been so different, but this one concludes with the cumulation of all that I’ve learned and all I could have hoped for. Her departure couldn’t have been more beautiful and perfect. We were able to do and say everything we wanted to and to prepare the most sacred space and process for her. She was completely conscious every step of the way, masterfully orchestrating and navigating, and we were her cocreators for the way in which she wanted.

She knew that having this come fast and out of the blue was best for me. No long suffering and no months or years of watching her decline and have to go through rigorous treatments. She was such a strong rabbit that she’d been able to even keep one of her conditions hidden fully for two years and then only depleted from lymphoma in her last weeks – yet still like a warrior until the end.

She’s unbelievable.

I will always be in awe of her and everything we shared over the years and her last week is eternally etched in my memory and heart, just like the rest of every single moment and day of these past six years and two and a half months.

Every single moment cherished and written together with Astrid, and me honoring her journey, as my own.

We are One.

We’ve always been One, and now more than ever so, as she dispersed her vastness not only into the Cosmos, but into my own body and soul as she left.

A powerful merging takes form as she rises from the ashes into the expanse of my heart.

I already knew that I would be walking in a newly integrated form, but this was the wings on the rabbit’s back. That will make more sense in an upcoming share.

A few days before learning about Astrid, we’d done a hike up the mountain above our house and I came upon an area in the forest filled with these beautiful feathers feeling like painted angel wings of white, black and every shade of gray in between, and found a transitioned butterfly right before and right after them.

I could only surmise, even without seeing a body, that an avian friend had passed. This was a precursor to the days ahead. And I continued to find pairs of butterflies that now looking back mirrored a transformative merging of two souls.

And the day after Astrid returned to the stars, I found this dead mouse on our hike down to the beach.

It was on this hike that we found a gnome hanging in a tree, continued evidence of Autumn’s glow beginning to emerge, and giant mushrooms popping up everywhere.

This included my very first ever finding in Tahoe of this magick mushroom – Amanita Muscaria.

The enchanting mushroom I often paint and have scattered about our Wonderland room here.

I have always wanted to find one here, and in general, but didn’t know if they were even around. Other than finding a yellow one in Australia’s Crystal Castle, this was the only other encounter ever for me. It was no surprise, as Astrid promised to show up in magickal, clear ways.

To find this enchanted large mushroom on a path I was guided to take us down on the day after her passing was no coincidence.

She made the impossible possible, let me know the magick would continue, and to believe in my hopes and dreams.

Wishes DO come true.

That included also finding our very first pocket of surprise thimbleberries and currants in abundance, three days after her departure that we’ve never seen before along a hike we frequent near our home.

We enjoyed munching on the sweetness of these wild delicacies fit for a bunny.

All of the moisture has created such unique growth and lush landscapes, so faery wonders can emerge with the help of a faery rabbit.

Astrid is adjusting in her expansive space and preparing many things behind the scenes. So, she is a little quiet while slowly sending messages and magick each day – just enough to let me know our journey continues and only gets better from here.

After her passing, we decided that day to just be with the energy of her and continue the peace and beauty, so we headed to our favorite giant elder juniper by a park lake and enjoyed a picnic.

I took a solo walk and found a Steller’s Jay feather then had an unusual encounter with one. They are normally chatty and assertive. This one was so inquisitive, soft and deep. She looked at me with bravely cocked head that kept shifting back and forth to go deeper with me and stayed holding my gaze for a few minutes, very much engaging me in silence. I felt Astrid in her presence.

When I returned for our picnic I snapped a few shots of our tree friend and saw these orbs in the tree.

And the Steller’s Jay and Dove feather finds have continued – these two seem to be the prominent ones connected with Astrid’s passing, which makes sense. Each of them holds her energy. The crest of Steller’s Jay holding a wise consciousness and clear vision connecting to the Cosmos, a bold and beautiful assertiveness with no fear to voice boundaries and personal expression, courage to fulfill your calling, and resiliency. And dove’s softness, grace, peace, faith, free spirit, and love. The beautiful sides of Astrid’s vulnerable strength.

Her day of passing and the day after were perfect late summer days with warm breezes, and then the first of September brought a downpour of rain with a colder front for a few days before returning again to sunshine. This all feels reflective of my waves of emotions. Flows that will continue to do their thing as I go through my own unique and healthy grieving process.

Her moving on is much more than someone I love departing…she is me and I am her. She leaves, as I drop an old me away, and we merge as we both take on new, more expansive forms. So this is a lightning bolt of rapid transformation manifesting…nothing slow about it has taken place. It feels literally overnight, although we know everything is always in process in the background.

Facing each day with new eyes takes a little adjustment, since my routine with her for over six years is no longer. I helped that out by removing her things immediately from our Wonderland room and redecorating, at her request, so that we could move into the next phase of our work together. Wonderland has become a powerful portal for moving creative and Cosmic energy through the purity and innocence of the wise child heart. The extremely intentional space is enhanced with Astrid’s spirit that passed in the center of this very room. Will share more in the days to come.

Through this transition I connected with Reno Rabbit Rescue where I’ll be donating time in support of the rabbits there, as well as donating Astrid’s supplies, but her castles I am keeping for now because she loved them so much and they carry an enchanted energy. We moved them into different places so that the cats could enjoy them.

So far they been a hit with both Prince Boojum and Princess Sweet Pea who are loving to sleep on top of their new castle tower creations and exploring the castle tunnel mazes compliments of their sister, Queen Astrid.

I’ve lived with rabbits for the past twenty years (plus one when I was 12), so it’s a big shift to not physically have one by my side. And yet, they are still so strongly in every part of my life and days. You just can’t see them with your physical eyes.

This next part of the journey is simply taking a new form where realities and other worlds merge more than ever and no longer have need for any separation…the doors are wide open to experience…we are more actively engaging spirit and flesh simultaneously and having conscious and seamless experiences that no longer need to be defined as one thing or another…they are all One and only different, or not experienced, based on our way of choosing, believing, and being…the bridge being the heart vortex for joining the dance.

Astrid wants me to celebrate her life, all of life, and to trust in this space that merges and knows no loss or difference.

Light is eternal and something innovative is about to be illuminated.

She told me that a time of suffering is over and she didn’t just mean about anything she physically experienced, but for all of us. Suffering is an illusion and we can walk through it and around it, briefly experiencing or observing it, but don’t need to be chained to it. There are always greater ways available to choose.

September will be a month of celebrating since it’s Astrid’s birthday month, and indeed she has been reborn. Since this post is already so long, we’ll be sharing more highlights and photos in the upcoming days as a way to honor the celebration of life and ultimately to Celebrate What’s Right with the World, as Dewitt Jones shares in this 2018 post.

So stay tuned for some special moments and memories with Astrid, a sweet little rabbit offering collaboration of ours that you’ll be able to pre-order, and a special sale on remaining crystal cocreators coming on 9/6 – all at her request and in celebration of the potential life offers us.

Small pebbles have large ripples.

I’m curious to see what unfolds now that Astrid has returned to the stars and that stardust is flowing through my veins.

To get to the new, sometimes it takes breaking open deeper. Things that crack open my heart wider have always held the richest alchemy of my existence.

We are in process of major breakthroughs collectively, and each of us will experience this relative to us – what appears one way when viewed by ego, is quite another when seen with the heart and soul of All That Is. We are being asked to stretch further than ever before through the breaks we are experiencing in any or all areas of life – it’s the alchemy of creation in motion that we can fight or surrender to trusting that it has a divine recipe being cooked up in the Cosmic kitchen.

A new way to experience and create life without playing it small is in order.

Vulnerable surrender, innocent curiosity, innovation in place of expectation…love filling in every nook and cranny as the thread that connects everything.

In many ways changes take place in our lives to water the seeds of truth we forgot within our origins of being.

I can’t tell you how many people I know who have ended jobs, began their passions, are focusing on their health and joy that their job diminished, are renewing an active partnership with personal well being, are starting long-desired relationships, losing long and defining ones too, and going through many transitions and illnesses, but also amazing expansion and opportunities.

For me, these kinds of things usually come through my animal companions, although in the past was also through significant relationships, and so I join the major shifts in sharing the passing of my heart, love, best friend, cocreator, and most precious treasure – Astrid.

I know there will be many more transitions and heart-cracking experiences upcoming, and my heart goes out to everyone trying to navigate these difficult times, but I do also know the resiliency of the heart to keep expanding through the temporary contractions it needs to exercise growth.

Everything that seems one way now, will appear another later. Hidden gifts for only the heart to know when we are ready to see it.

In the days leading up to Astrid’s departure and ongoing, I continue filling my cup with the things my heart desires most.

My soul feels most nourished these days with extra peaceful immersions and as much silence and solitude I can add to my experience.

We’ve been enjoying a lot of quiet, lazy Summer days after a full first part of the Summer. It’s been extra sweet and supportive.

And as always Nature is the perfect partner for anything I want to create more of in my life and for receiving all the perfect wisdom and reflections I may be curious about.

This has been an interesting year with each season behaving very uniquely and unpredictably than we’ve experienced. We’re just completing another three day rainy period before returning back to late Summer temps. It dropped so much in temperature swings that the first day of September saw dustings of snow at the tops of the mountains. I imagine Autumn will be no different and have much beauty to unwrap. The suspense is always exciting.

I don’t know what’s up, but curiously the President seems to follow us during heightened periods. You may recall that on our way out to Hawaii we were held in our plane because Air Force One had just arrived before us at the LAX airport. And this last crossing of paths hit closer to home, when he arrived on 8/18 to stay a week just a few miles from our house with his family. He used Lake Tahoe as his base from which he headed to Maui for a day from, during their time of need from the fires. So yeah, collective ties run through everything.

And alongside the curvy ride, yet calm of adventures Dave and I take together, I also add in my own version of solo ones alongside these while he enjoys something he loves too. Often that can be in the same place, but we take time for our own thing and then join back up again. It’s a beautiful synergy.

For instance, I took a solo walk on the light thunderstorm and New Moon afternoon while he was in a meditation group on the beach, and it was just what my soul needed, as this was a precursor period of going through initial things with Astrid that would lead down the rabbit hole of discovery.

It took me along the secluded beach, into the forest, meandering paths I’ve not taken, and nestling into the nurturing welcome of ancient stones you see in these windows captured, which included finding a pyramidal throne in the center where I felt more ancient activations and moved energy with intention.

In fact, on this day I was sensing the elder me rooting like the giant trees we’ve been communing with, and feeling the weight of things looming in the air. I snapped a few shots for later reflection.

And upon my return to meet up with Dave and the others, the sky parted and rays of sunshine illuminated a wondrous landscape of promise upcoming.

And around the first Full Moon of August, I also did a longer solo hike while Dave biked with a friend and it took me through fields of Summer flowers that, once again, had me lost in a meadow of my blooming heart’s dream.

I continue finding myself relishing in peaceful “me” time, especially with all of the changes taking shape and new energies pouring in. I imagine I’m not alone in feeling that.

I’m very protective of my energy these days to keep it pure and my well full. These are constant themes I reiterate to myself and share, as they feel important while we walk these new potentials and create innovation each moment consciousness pulses.

Balance is always my focus since my past has been a see-saw ride. I experience extra magickal things when I walk in my own footsteps.

Everything feels so clear, calm, seamless, aligned, and filled with grace.

As things keep evolving, the quiet spaces are where I feel most clarity, trust of the unknown, and understanding of the twists and turns that the swish of All That Is creates with brushstrokes across my heart.

And these quiet spaces are also where I surrender to losing myself, so that I may find myself.

There are indeed times I feel like a blank slate and The Nothing pervades.

This can be scary and exciting for sure, but I do not fight it.

Even now with a part of me that has passed, I am engaging each moment of the Great Mystery with awe.

The more I can gently lean back into the mother of all black holes, the more I reveal how nurturing this free-fall can be with all of the floats, spins, twists, drops, and accelerated lifts that swaddle in their mysterious embrace.

The vortex of release becomes the birthing of a new world through me, you, and everyone.

I oscillate between knowing nothing and feeling everything.

And this is where creative magick begins.

As Summer nears end so, too, does a season of life come to end and a new chapter awaits.

Many don’t know me without a magick rabbit, and even if you don’t see them by my side, I assure you they are there – always and in all ways.
