It’s interesting that even though we’ve turned back the clocks, the dark hours descend upon us rapidly each day, and things for a long time have felt like a speeding up of things, I’ve actually noted that my days have felt longer and stretched out the last several weeks. I felt this kick in when we started our trip, which isn’t the usual experience of our travels. I am used to the days seeming to go so fast – or even too fast – and like the vacation went by in a blink of an eye.

Yet, it seems like what ever portal we entered during the two week span from eclipse to eclipse with that journey, somehow put into motion an extending of time and an enhancing of how things are feeling.

Might it be an even richer presence being experienced that stretches the moment wide open?

Or, more integration taking root so that perception is shifting into a greater unified expression without designations of time or other definable points of reference?

What ever the case may be, I’m enjoying this shift and finding myself able to do a lot more in a day than I used to. This space of productivity feels really good and reflects a green light “go” messaging that is anchoring. I also feel like I have even more reserves of energy, motivation, and inspiration.

Perhaps some of you might be in that cauldron of experience as well, or are starting to feel like you’re moving into that?

If not yet, I do feel like things are opening up step-by-step and as each of us make moves, we’ll find how our threads weave through the tapestry and bring together more connections of shared and similar manifestations.

And while this stretched out experience has been unfolding, we’ve also been seeing Winter merge quickly onto the scene here. I mentioned a dusting of snow and freezing nights while we were away, and then snow gusts again when we returned with consistent freezing temperatures every night since.

Right now there’s a straddling of seasons taking place, blurring the definable points in the landscape as well. We had rain and snow Tuesday afternoon and night – just a touch at our elevation as you can see.

But up higher on the mountain, the snow was more abundant.

In fact, we did a hike the next day after that snow fall and found ourselves immersed in an enchanted white wonderland and at the higher elevation we were hiking, our feet enjoyed soft, fresh powder of 4-6 inches.

It was just so beautiful and invigorating!

My faery heart was in wonderly bliss, as I stayed back behind Dave and our friend so that I could explore all that sparkled through my eyes.

Again, this created a feeling of time-outside-of-time still for me and the addition of our not seeing a single other soul on the trail we chose that day, added to this feeling of a bubble enriched space that extends far and wide.

I don’t think I remember hearing anyone talk about this feeling of time being stretched, recently, but I imagine others are experiencing it nonetheless.

Right now, forecasts are showing a lot more moisture and snow on the way come the 14th or 15th, so it’s looking like ski season and cozying up is upon us once again.

This feels perfect for the way my inner space is revved up, as I’m bursting with creative energies to pour forth into all of my projects.

I sense the rest of the year and Winter season to be quite a productive window.

And despite the world scene right now, and even other unknown factors, I have an increased sense of peace moving through me. I find that the more I just do the things that challenge me on some level, the more things feel enlivened and actually kick in manifestations. Embracing spaces of discomfort and unknowns feels to move me/us into our essence more, as this is where the truth of who we are resides – in the places we locked away perhaps out of fear of our true power.

I was messaging with a friend about things we’ve been experiencing and we both felt that there’s a bigger unveiling taking place, but it’s starting from within. That things are pointing to more fully revealing and embracing all of who we each are and letting that be seen in a way that we haven’t done before.

Kind of like how the collective is also having much peeled back and surfacing from the core while a reorganization and recreating takes place to move everything into a whole new potential.

Things can be both scary and exciting at once, as you stand on the precipice of transformation. It’s those times I feel twinges of discomfort, insecurity, or fear, that I do find myself also simultaneously filled with immense enthusiasm and exhilaration. This is when I know I’m onto something big in terms of an inner to outer shift – and so, too, do I believe the same goes for the collective experience unfolding before us.

These are the times to ground into our hearts, find our peace centers, connect with those things or people that feel most resonant and aligned, and encourage the inner child within that her or his creative heart is worthy of being heard and expressed for who they are.

And one of those things that really helps me to feel that sense of peace and enlivened empowerment are rabbits, of course. Crystals (as you know from my shares and new video series), Nature, the Cosmos, being with my love doing what I love, moving my creative energy, and listening to my heart are some of the other things that support this too.

I mentioned having connected with the founder of Reno Rabbit Rescue after Astrid transitioned. My bunny soul mates always seem to lead me to rescues, as this is the third I’ve made connection with because of them. Since the rescue I got Astrid and Joy from is too far away, and the one that Cosmo came through is even further, it’s nice to have this more local one available at only an hour away.

Being away was helpful as a reset, after Astrid moving on, and coming home to an opportunity to be around and support rabbits was another way to keep that energy alive that means so much to my heart.

I had the opportunity to volunteer at my first Bunny Yoga event, as the photographer, videographer, and overall safety observer, which was really fun. This is an event put on by RRR where rabbit parents, potential rabbit adopters, and people just curious to learn about and be around rabbits, can come and share a peace filled hour of yoga graced by these beautiful souls exploring during the practice.

All rabbits need to have been neutered or spayed before coming, as well as received the RHDV2 vaccine to ensure all rabbits’ safety. This is a space that rabbit parents can bring their fur babies to enjoy the peace, meet other rabbits, and others in the rabbit community. There weren’t any current adoptable rabbits at the event I volunteered at, but six sweet buns did show up with their parents and had such a sweet time playing together, exploring the humans, doing their own bunny yoga, and providing so many smiles, giggles, and heart openings to all.

The focus of the event is to bring awareness to rabbits, educate, raise money to support the organization’s efforts, connect rabbit parents with others for potential sitter opportunities (since it’s hard to find this for our bunny babies), allow people to experience rabbits in a safe space, make connections for potential adoptions, and share information on vets and more. No one is allowed to pick up a rabbit without the assistance of a volunteer and all necessary precautions are put into place for the event to be safe for all.

The evening I went, one of the six rabbits there reminded me a bit of Astrid’s personality, which was special to me to see. I could feel Astrid strongly in the room with, happy to see me smile. Anyway, I had a great time and look forward to these once a month events, as long as weather permits me getting down the mountain in Winter. It also looks like I’ll be taking on one more role with this rescue that I’m feeling called to, but I’ll save that for another time. It’s just sweet for my heart to be able to have this little connection with the rabbits physically that feels balanced for my life right now.

I did also manage to get my final garden and yard clean-up done, amidst all the flurry of projects, so all the plant babies are ready for a long Winter’s nap, percolating beneath the blankets while I focus steadily inside on projects that will continue percolating over the season too.

It was sweet to find some lingering last blooms that I brought indoors to enjoy, as I put everything else to bed.

But Autumn has come and gone quickly indeed. Nearly all of the gorgeous colored leaves have fallen to the ground, joining Earth’s call to come rest for a while. And frosty sprinkles are found nestled in all corners, where Jack Frost has been whistling his wonderly tune.

Although white will cover everything soon on a consistent basis, I’m feeling very colorful inside my heart and like this Winter will be very different. A lot of new energies have come into my experience and I’m looking forward to working with them and listening to their guidance.

Which brings me to one of the things that did come through recently while I was away, and mentioned in a recent post…the return of a couple of favorite offerings and a special on a current one that today’s 11/11 portal feels perfect to share on.

With so many people going through big shifts in their life, I’m guided to bring the online Reiki Certification Training modules back for a limited time to support those of you wanting to take things to the next level with upticking your frequency and your ability to support self and others.

You can find those here: Reiki Certification Training

And, those of you have consistently been reaching out about this one – when might I have openings again for Sacred Tattoo Designs? – will be happy to know that I’m going to open up several spots for this at a discounted rate as an 11/11 special surprise. This really spoke loudly to do, as I know the power of sacred tattoos and how anyone drawn to this form of integrative transformation can really shift their frequency and empower new potentials through aligned embodiment. It changed my life and all of my clients have shared much the same.

Five openings will be offered at this time and can be found here to claim one, along with details of what is entailed: Custom Sacred Tattoo Designs

And last, an 11/11 special on Life Transition Support Sessions. I’ll be finishing up with the last beautiful group of souls I’ve been working with near mid December, and so I am able to open spots for either anyone who feels to continue or anyone who wants to begin, as this still feels aligned for me to be able to support and have time for. I will open five spots again.

These are already offered at discount, but for anyone who feels called to continue working with me on new or existing focuses from the first group, I am going to offer an extra 11% discount on your choice of packages. Please reach out to me if you’d like to take advantage of this, as I won’t have the discounted option on the page below.

For anyone new who feels this Winter to be a time of hunkering down and focusing on things that feel key to the next part of your journey, here is the link to register:

Holidays are upon us shortly, and I do still have three ready-to-ship Magick Rabbit Ornaments that somehow haven’t found their homes yet. These could be great for your Yuletide decorations, Christmas gifts/stocking stuffers, and also as year-round adornments to welcome a little magick into your life.

There will be a new episode of Talks With Crystal Skulls upcoming…so stay tuned. I’m just so excited about all the energy around this series and the connections being made from it. I’m also super grateful for all the amazing and sweet feedback and shares from the crystal skull community I’ve received that overwhelmed me in a beautiful way. Thank you so much! I’m beyond happy to know this is speaking to many of you. There just may be surprises in store around this too to come.
