My Spring yard clean-up has been delayed due to another weather swing in temperatures and late storms. The last of the two storms this past weekend saw us waking up on Easter morning to a fresh, full foot of powder covering everything around our Forest Portal home, with much more at the mountain tops.

The white winter wonderland made for a fun contrast that day, as the outer world landscape was definitely quite different than the inner world one that greeted us at my family’s home.

Mom made us vegan hams roasted with pineapples on top, mashed potatoes, peas, focaccia bread, and carrot and raisin salad. In addition she added a platter of appetizer yums that included crostini topped with vegan smoked gouda cheese with salsa or spicy jelly on top!

Dad surprised us with one of my favs from childhood he used to make – lemon pie a la vegan!

Another beautiful holiday warmly spent, celebrating renewal and the promise of all things that come to an end truly do mark a new beginning.

The journey home continued to reflect the variances of experience that shift moment-to-moment, as we traveled through rain, hail, and snow flurries with the day’s light reflecting duality as one and the presence of hope and closure all at once.

As always, how we choose to perceive things can make all the difference. And while these flips back-and-forth of weather could be confusing, to me they truly illuminate the gift of embracing each moment and what it has to offer.

The extended ski adventure time has been fun and of course we’re grateful for the moisture to add to snow packs that aid fire season.

The slopes after the Easter storm were incredibly magickal with blue bird days that revealed themselves after the parting of mystical cloud openings.

It is truly heavenly.

There’s no wonder why this ski resort we live just five minutes from IS actually called Heavenly.

I love seeing my favorite flocked trees along the landscape, framed by boundless blue skies.

You feel like you’re in another world.

After that big snow dump the weather did a huge overnight shift from 30’s temps in the days to hitting near 60 for two days in a row.

This melted the flocked beauties back to springtime green dresses framing beautiful Lake Tahoe.

And then things swing-shifted back to the 30’s again with a small weather front bringing a few more inches of snow over the last two days.

Oscillating, extreme experiences are prevalent collectively, as we explore a path toward a new equilibrium on a journey through the undercurrents of contrasting energies. Everything is a process of releasing and retrieving the outmoded and best parts, to merge and create a new alchemy way of living.

I know that many are feeling the energies of this upcoming Eclipse on the 8th and that a lot of info may be pouring onto your radar from what people are saying about it. As always, make things your own experience, even though we do share in a collective one. Only you can make of it the way you choose to make it, as not everyone experiences the same things.

Especially not if you tend to your own garden of life and harness the energies as your own version of a perspective-matching expression of it.

Eclipses bring up the things we may not want to look at that are integral to our healing and evolution and with this one we will be moving through the healing of pains and seeing the truth of situations, while teaching us to have more courage and find our unique way through the changes.

This Aries New Moon Total Solar Eclipse is also a SuperMoon and a new doorway is offered with it, but will assist bringing up seeing the limitations that are holding you back. A lot of focus on what is over and old wounds that you may not have let go of fully, to assist with the last pieces of detachment in order to move forward – endings and closure to draw in fresh starts and opportunities are abound. This may be something you’re personally moving through for yourself, or that you’re helping someone or others with.

Forgiveness may also be called up. Remember that forgiving doesn’t mean condoning. It’s a way to release detachment and free yourself so that you can move forward.

On the first day we hit 59 degrees, I was driving home from the post office and saw an unusual sight in the sky for up here in the alpine terrain.

I stopped the car to watch this flock of large white birds with black tipped wings circling above.

They moved in and out, creating different formations and I was taken in by how large they were and the white and black coloring, together.

I felt immediately that they were pelicans (although would be unusual), as I’ve seen some down in the valley on the lake there a few times over the years. Yet, here they were up at this lake getting my attention. I did research it when I got home and indeed I was right. They were American White Pelicans that do in fact have black wing tips.

I read that they will sometimes travel far from their colonies to feed and that they can sometimes be seen here and in outlying areas of the Sierra lakes and reservoirs.

Pelicans are connected to water, air, and land making them a symbol of balance between these elements. Their energy supports the capability of deep-diving into the watery realms of emotions and self-reflection, envisioning and cultivating new ideas, and then grounding and manifesting the result of that introspective journey. There is a harmonious relationship between emotions and thoughts, so that mind and heart merge in partnership rather than trying to prevail over one another, and trust is cultivated toward intuition. They bring hope, strength, and new possibilities while also demonstrating resiliency and grace when navigating life’s challenges.

Seeing this beautiful sight of their graceful dance in the air, together, felt mirroring of the space both individually and collectively that is possible right now and through this New Moon Eclipse portal.

I’ve reflected recently on the shifts over time with navigating things and seeing the truth of how the things I go through in life, stretch me into greater resiliency and fluidity of experience. Especially so, when I make an effort to be conscious and curious of each moment and rich part. AND, when I engage all of my parts to work together in balance so that I don’t get locked into the denser of human experiences alone.

Darker times do get lighter and more grace filled and that can include the grieving process of parts of our lives and souls within our lives. Grieving has its own beauty, as an expression of our depth of connection. It’s an individual process for each of us, still, yet it can and does have ability to shift over time.

For me, I find that the more I embrace the sacredness and alignment, as well as the inherent wisdom of each experience, the more I am able to be in the celebration of cycles and not sink into the heaviness like the quick sand it can become without these anchors. I enable myself to then see renewal’s promise that comes through the softening of my clutch.

I find that pain turns into nostalgia.

Grief reveals itself as love and love’s wisdom is eternity.

The white pelicans coming together on that warm, sunny Spring day between two storms felt like a promising omen of things to come.

Are there little signs around you of movement and support that you might be overlooking?

Sometimes when things get tough, it’s hard to see the sparkles of hope lighting up in your path, or even just how much you already have moved through and manifested so brilliantly.

Be curious and present – look up – look down – and all around you.

Little golden threads are being thrown out for us to catch all the time.

In these extreme times of change, we need more moments of pause because it’s easy to react and be triggered, and it’s also easy to make hasty decisions before our body and spirit feel aligned with something.

It’s okay not to act immediately.

It’s okay to breathe and reflect.

It’s okay to take a moment before jumping in and deciding to land on the next path.

The pelicans circling and creating new formations above me felt reflective of this – their exploration of the next feeding ground (far from their nesting area) and reflecting upon the energy currents while in the space of thought and intuition merging, before making a decision of where to land next.

So, so many people are in the processing of navigating huge transitions in life – not just the loss of people or animals, but the shift from one way of life or part of life to another. And there is so much uncertainty of where things will land and what the conditions will be in this new space, while everyone reconfigures their positioning in it all.

Take the time you need to feel into the frequencies, each small step along the way – taking in the wider view of things, but know that you won’t fully understand the scope of the new, or why you left things behind, until you do actually land.

It continues to sound repetitive, but gentleness toward self and other, as well as self care and knowing yourself continue to deepen in value.

Even our dear Sweet Pea knows how important this is.

She’s actually doing quite well after the loss of her brother Boojum and despite her condition, living with bladder cancer. You can see her snug like a bug in her bed atop one of Astrid’s castle tunnels mom put by the window for her – her favorite spot.

I told Dave that although she navigates her own journey with it all, I get from her that she’s also really leaning into and enjoying this rich time she is experiencing by being our only child. She was the first, and truly has always been a more independent kitty who likes her space and the softness of quiet and the gentle things in life. She’s become equally a momma’s girl even though she’s more connected to Dave, while still also seeking us both out to share time with.

Mornings are her playtime with mom and she acts like a kitten as we do our fun ritual on the bed of snuggles, purrs, licks, and chasing after my quick hands. She had pulled back from Dave a bit while Boojum was in decline, but is now enjoying naps and meditation time with him again. We actually were both woken two nights ago by her licking both of our faces.

She’s been relishing in all the extra attention and spoiling she’s receiving and in many ways has actually shown a spike in her engagement and energy. She’s especially loving all the yummy treats to herself and where she never used to ask for them, is seeking them out. Unlike her brother, who lost his appetite in the end, she has a robust and healthy one. She still has her tumor, but she’s trucking along and making the most of each day as the princess of the entire house. We are grateful.

Thank you to everyone who’s reached out and shared your love and condolences. It’s a beautiful thing to experience the connection that is made possible even if we’ve never met in person. It’s simply about opening our hearts and keeping them open, regardless of what is happening around us, but also BECAUSE of what is happening. Love, kindness, and compassion is ever-more needed.

We’ve experienced so much separation within and without, increasingly so since 2020, that finding ways to connect with the heart of yourself and community are lifelines to cultivating a new level of thriving we can share together.

And that leads me to some of the other ways I am able to share support with those of you who feel called, alongside sharing reflections here that I hope in some way might provide a tiny piece of hope or a glimpse of possibility.

Below you’ll find my biggest session discount, new and heavily discounted crystal skulls, and the latest episode of Talks With Crystal Skulls.

Eclipse season may add layers of complexity or challenge to your experience and the already more intense energies of these times, or perhaps is highlighting the areas you simply can no longer not face.

I received strong guidance to offer my largest discount on Intuitive Guidance Sessions that I ever do – I might have offered this once before several years back.

I have both sensed and heard things that make me understand the pivotal space people, and humans as a collective are at, which speaks to doing all that we can within the scope of our abilities and strengthened wells to help that shift anchor.

You can read about the sessions, which are offered to support a wide scope of areas in your life at the link below, where you’ll also find the discount already reflected in single and package options.

I am able to support 5 new clients again, for sure. I will reassess if I can take on more after the 5 spaces are filled, based on the scope of intentions and needs that are involved with each individual.

Some people have asked if these can be used as a space for mentoring. Wholeheartedly, yes!

We can create a process to support any area of life that you desire to cultivate and take more prominence as your soul path, or even as an integrated piece to your life to create more balance because it truly lights you up.

Other assistance is in areas of any transitions taking place from one thing to another in your life, or any area of personal and spiritual growth that you’d like to take to the next level.

Any of these can also be combined, and undoubtedly will naturally be combined, as they are all connected. It’s about you and crafting the perfect weaving of personal reflection.

I know a few of you have been on the fence or even shared some fear about doing this work, so I’m hoping whether it’s here or elsewhere, that these powerful doorways like the Eclipse, will help you to find the avenue and support that can assist your momentum.

The discount is now effective, as of 4/4:

Intuitive Guidance Sessions

For those of you looking for other ways to work through your personal processes and activate new doorways of experience, or those of you who have been curious, I DO have a new group of wonderful crystal skulls that have been added to the offerings.

At the link below you’ll find 5 fresh faces – and I’ll just let their videos, photos and info speak for themselves, but I have a feeling they’ll connect quickly with those of you who’ve been waiting. I’ve been releasing, as they tell me to and to be honest I’d be happy to keep them all! LOL! If you watch the latest episode of Talks With Crystal Skulls, you’ll notice one of the skulls being offered shares the same material of my skull featured as energetic support in that episode. The energy of all of these beings are specially intuited as frequency matches to assist the shifts and to focus on areas those of you ready to go to the next level in your life may find especially dialed in where is most needed.

Alongside the 5 newbies, you’ll also find the 4 remaining beauties I’m truly surprised are still hanging out, given their energy and especially since many have had a lot of inquiries. Well, you’ll discover that these 4 have now received a special (and incredible) homing discount of 22% – 44% off to support anyone on the fence, compliments of them messaging through me that they are eager to get working! There is also a special homing discount on a pair, if they go home together, which is a purchase 1 and get 1 free offer.

So if you’ve been waiting for a special friend or looking to get a gift for a special someone, then you may find what calls to your heart in these 9 crystal skulls:

Crystals & Crystal Skulls

And that leads me to the last piece of support and streams of possibility…a new episode of Talks With Crystal Skulls.

This one is a short share and here’s the description:

In this new episode we add another layer to understanding our crystal skull family. What if the skulls are in fact the manifestation of our galactic family in a form made more efficient for these times we are in? We explore crystal skulls as the emanation embodiment of multi-dimensional beings to assist receiving wisdom and teachings in a conscious state that we need for Earth’s and humanity’s evolution. Included is a new collective message from The Speakers – the collective of 22 beings that speak through my crystal skulls.
