'
I love the theme for this New Year, Roaring into the '20s. It speaks for itself as we began the New Year here on the Lower Mainland, B.C., with our first snowfall. I was impressed by how quickly the city sent snow plows out to clear the streets. I began this year mostly alone, sorting out a lot of those sticky emotions that are just there and get ignored as I go through my day. I realize how comfortable it is just to let the feeling pass, as I get busy doing something or nothing in particular, especially as I age.
But I then I had an epiphany, and realized that aging means that I no longer should be dealing with any emotions of insecurity, regret, disappointment, or guilt; none of those negating feelings were acceptable anymore. I have decades of experience to tap into, and that should be enough to absolve myself of any wrong feelings that I may have learned to hold on to. No matter what occurred in my life, I must stand up and be who I am today. My past taught me to be more than I was back then, and that is who I must be in the world today, the me that survived all of my past.
I recently watched this great show on ageism, Frankie and Grace, starring Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda, and it brought so many issues up in my face. I realized how easy it is to use age as a cop-out for so many things. Aging is not about giving up; it's about standing up. Being blessed with age, and with your full capacities, makes you a blessing to be shared with everyone in your environment. Some of the younger generations may tend to become condescending in their ways of thinking they know more than we do because we are old. Some of us may get pushed aside because we allow the attitude of the young to break us down and put us in our place. Being old does not mean climbing into a box and hiding. Many indigenous cultures honor the Elders blessed with the wisdom that comes with age. They hold a special place in their society, and their knowledge is highly valued.
I am fortunate to be able to volunteer at Kennedy Seniors Recreation Centre in Delta B.C... I have come to realize just how much I appreciate aging as I witness seniors in different stages of aging being out in the community, maintaining their health and lifestyle with such vigor and joy. There is a dinner and dance celebration at least once a month, and the turnout is incredible. I realize that places like this are worth their weight in gold with all the knowledge accumulated here. The elderly may be pushed aside in society, but some of us are uniting to live a better quality of life in this stage of our lives.
Being active as we age allows our minds to stay sharp. Now is not the time to give up on our dreams because we now have the wisdom and patience to move ahead in our lives if we so choose. We will always have a place in society as long as we do not give it up. We are still able to change the world if only with one person at a time. We all have at least one superpower to share, one gold coin that means something special to us and that someone needs us to share. We are valuable with decades of wisdom.
Knowledge is power, and we are powerhouses no matter what anyone else says or thinks of us. If we have made it this far in life, then we are heroes. If we have made it this far and have a legacy of children and grandchildren, then we are superheroes. The world will appreciate us as much as we honor, respect, and enjoy ourselves. I always see myself as a bottle of fine wine, slowly aging in time to become more vibrant and fuller. I am akin to the image of the pregnant Goddess in history, which relates to Womyn in her fullness, filled with knowledge and wisdom: pregnant with life experiences.
Take this journey with me to the depths of the soul. Discover the truth and free your mind. Shed the vision of who you believe you are and and beocme the you that is unimaginable.

The Ace in Your Life
It’s funny how one day you actually get that life can really be played like a game. I was sitting at the computer playing a game of “Free Cell” and I had to laugh at myself as I figured it out once again that the only way to win was to have a plan. Step one was to look at the whole board and find my starting point which was the Aces. Then I had to be able to create empty spaces where I could place runs (4, 3, 2, 1, etc) to move the cards around to reveal the Aces, two’s, three’s, etc. So I created this formula or plan around the game which allows me to win most of the time. But sometimes I get to the point where a message comes up and tells me there are no more available moves left and if I wish I can undo all my moves and start over or quit and play another game.
Now this is when the plan comes in handy, because if I have just haphazardly began making moves I never remember which move led me to a dead end. Now I have the choice to undo the whole game and play again or if I had a plan I simply go back to the move that brought me to the message and play with more awareness so I do not make the same wrong move. By more awareness, I mean keeping an eye on the board and making sure that every move I make leads to another move or an open space that acts like a door to new choices. Sometimes I walk away and focus my attention on other things before continuing and this gives me a fresher perspective. My other option is that I can choose to quit altogether and start a new game and a new plan.
This is what we do in life if we wish to be successful in reaching our dreams and desires, we create a plan. The trick is having a plan that works because sometimes we may eagerly start off but maybe we have not put the right intention into our plan. It could be that we have to unwind a little of our past in order to find the Ace, or the first step so everything falls into place. Unwinding our lives is not always easy as clicking a mouse or icon on the computer but it will give us the same opportunity to start over again and follow the plan which we may have to amend a bit to make it work. Unwinding is also a great way to open up new doors in our lives.
Sometimes we know deep inside what we need to do but have no idea how to make the first move. This is when we must open ourselves up to reaching out to someone who can give us the guidance we need to move forward. You never know what will happen once you open up, either you seek out help or Majikally someone or something appears with the answer to your request. Remember there are no coincidences so use these moments to jump into opportunities. Did I mention that I have a ninety-five percent winning average on playing just over five hundred games? (It’s my old computer from 2002) Now the challenge is to apply it to my life.

Straighten Up - Fly Right - Unwinding Abuse
It is a weak man who stands up in a Womyn's face when she is confronted by another Womyn. If a Womyn does not have the strength to deal with what she puts out then she really should not make herself appear weaker by having her man getting involved in the situation. This tells me that she may be the victim of this type of treatment herself so she does not see the wrongness of it. Womyn especially those who are close and/or family need to lean to resolve there differences with each other as this usually brings them closer eventually, either to each other or with themselves. It may be inner issues related to Self that is healed in order to resolve disputes between them.
I know that the Womyn in my family and extended family often disagree with each other but we keep that between us “girls”. We do not need the men in our lives to speak for us and put them self in jeopardy by jumping into the middle of a situation. I have to say the men in our lives quickly learn that when the Womyn fight and if you chose to get in the middle you might be the one getting hurt. I personally would have no qualms in calling the police if I saw any of the men physically hurting another Womyn. Men are usually built to have more physical strength than we do so if they wish to engage physically they either need to find another man or go to the gym and knock themselves out, or just walk away because they know they are wrong every-time.
If there is a man in your life who pushes you around, physically or emotionally or manipulates you with emotional issues then I tell you straight up, he is wrong every-time. There is no place in anyone's life where this is right or even acceptable. None of us deserve this type of treatment from anyone in any way, shape or form. So at this point if this creates a reaction in you then maybe the proceeding statements will also (not applicable to every situation) ring some truth.
You may be attracting this energy into your life. The only way this is happening is because at some time you gave permission to this individual to communicate in this manner. It may be that you did not have the communication skills necessary to “nip it in the bud”, from the beginning and you thus became a victim of the circumstances. If you feel like a victim then I suggest you deal with that immediately. Do whatever you need to stop having these emotions. Go see a professional or demand that your “stalker” either stop go see someone to help with their issues. Tell someone about it right in front of your offender. Use your voice. If you do not feel safe to do this then you are in a situation that you may need to remove yourself from immediately.
Relationships are a lot about communicate and healthy communication is essential. Healthy emotions are required in order to have healthy communication. It is impossible to have a fruitful conversation when all you are doing is throwing unhealthy emotions back and forth and expecting the other person to be responsible for them. You are the Priestess in your Temple and it is your responsibility to care and nurture your emotions to a vibration that will attract like energy. Relationships that are “glued” together because of not wanting to upset the other by saying or doing the wrong thing are straight up wrong in so many ways.
My point is that if you are going to do a long term relationship than we should honour ourselves by at least doing it right. That actually is the trick to it. Honour thyself at all times. No one is going to show us the respect that we feel we deserve if at some level we actually feel that we do not deserve it. Holding on to emotions of fear and feeling like a victim will be the energy that we are putting out no matter what level we are feeling it. Hiding or denying how we feel will not change that energy. It is all you and it is what the Universe is receiving from you and returning to you because it is the frequency that you are broadcasting. Let go of the inner victim. Do the work necessary to accomplish this and you will change your life. When you feel like a victim you usually also feel as though you do not have full control of your life and this can spill over into other areas of your life, such as your finances, or your children. Your truly are what you believe so please work on believing that you are truly amazing and able to accomplish all of your intentions with the will of the Creator. You are too beautiful to be abused or misused in any way and you deserve the respect and love of all those around you. Even your disagreements should result in bringing more love into your life. When we choose to learn to love ourselves unconditionally then we are ready to create the best life possible.

Dysable the Enabler
Unfortunately today addictions of many kind are common in society. There must be many of us who are exposed to loved ones and friends dealing with addictions and maybe at one time we may have had our own story to tell. For some reason society has managed to create a need for drugs that is being filled and creating so many problems. We have fear now over drugs that kill as well as the "usual" fears around drug abuse. Being there as a support for others trying to conquer addiction is a place we may find our self in at some point in our lives. Unfortunately not everyone believes in rehabilitation centres so there have to be alternate paths to healing. We may make ourselves available to help someone but if we are not a drug counsellor or if we have not had the life experience our self we may have to be careful about how much help we can actually offer. When we try to help a family member, we could run into all types of unexpected problems because we may be just too close to the situation to see what is going on and what is truly needed. We may find ourselves trying to help someone with their drug issues and maybe we come to realize that we are not really helping at all. There is such a thin line between helping and enabling so it is a sticky, tricky path to walk. If you have someone who actually is being successful in overcoming drugs that you are helping, there is that chance that they may begin to see you as their Savior and that is a shaky path to walk upon.
When we choose to idolize another, we dig a hole for our self which is really hard to climb out of while we see another as our reason for being happy. I am not saying that you don't need someone who can help but when you become so attached to that other that you begin to idolize them, then there may by trouble ahead. If something happens where this person is no longer in your life, what will you do, how will you cope. Will life be worth living? The problem will continue to exist until you learn to recognize the Creator within you. You must learn to see the good within you that creates and manifests all that is in your life. Giving everything you are to another will eventually make you feel less, and brings about insecurities and doubts that you can actually be and do you on your own. Not only for you but for the one you choose to give your power away to. No one can live up to being put on a pedestal unless they truly are egotistical. It feels so good when someone recognizes the good within us and compliments us and thanks us but to constantly have to live up to the image of being "the great one" who fixes everything and everyone can bite deeply into ones self esteem as we try hard to live up to the image and think we have to continue to fix everything. It is so much easier at least for me when I give it back to the person by acknowledging that they are the ones that chose to heal and move forward in their life and they are the one doing the work to better their lives.
One way to bypass this dilemma of becoming an enabler is when your worshipper is giving you thanks for once again fixing them, to somehow mention the Creator, or God or the Goddess, whatever Higher Power that you and/or they believe in. Pass the thanks in that direction and encourage the other to give thanks to their Source. Connecting with our Source, our Higher Power is a healthy way of letting go of any addictive problem whether it be mental, physical, or spiritual. Give them back their power in some way and let them know that it is with the guidance of the Creator that their healing was made possible. Encourage them to have faith and to believe in not only themselves but the power of the Universe to provide them with what they need at any given time.
Embracing the Divine within is being able to see and feel the light within us, that place where creativity and goodness exists, that place of healing. When we connect with and hold on to that feeling we experience the true love that we have for our self and are able to share this with those around us. This is where self hatred and fear melts away, where we can find that familiar place within that we call home. So just try to make it a daily practise to give thanks to the Creator for your life and your dreams, passions and that which make up your daily routine and each day you will feel more satisfied, more fulfilled with this gratitude.

I was just thinking of how much programming we are exposed to if we have a t.v.I hear messages of not being safe in the home because of falling or break-ins, or using the wrong products or not using the right products. Not being safe in the street unless using a certain product, My car isn't safe unless I purchase certain products, My children, and my neighborhood are not safe. The air I breathe and the food I consume may not be safe. A constant flow of negative programming streaming in from the media to support the financial needs of those that keep the media thriving. In my work, I have come across so many people who are afraid to break the "rules" of society that they choose to believe and although the only outcome may be their neighbors or community may not approve they are fearful. They are in dread that someone may find out their children have done something that the community may scorn them for.
This fear-based society that we live in presents a huge problem for us as individuals. When we don't monitor the programs our children are watching they may become a victim of this fear-based programming. We ourselves are victims because if we watch t.v. for even an hour a day we are exposed to it. How often have you gone out looking for a certain product because you saw it on t.v. or heard it could help you in some way have a better life. How often have you spent money on something that proved worthless in the end? Maybe you decide to have a healthier lifestyle and invest in a high-end juicer, and supplements or some other electrical gadget to make life easier that sits in a cupboard somewhere in your home. Hmmm sounds familiar to me.
I believe that the biggest problem is that so many of us do not realize that we have bitten into the whims of the media, that we have become pawns to the needs of this fear-based life we are living. When we internalize fear it manifests itself as dysease within the body. I believe that many of the chronic illness we are experiencing in society is a by-product of fear based thinking. I also think that the "attitude" of our children is being influenced by the violent online games they become addicted to and the imaging of the glamorous people in the media. Even reality tv is damaging as it depicts a small percentage of lifestyles of a small group. We still bite into it and although it is mostly staged how many of us believe it to be real.
So what is real? Well, that's easy, your life is reality and tv and what the media offers is an escape from your reality. You make your reality what it is based on what you choose to believe and thereby attract into your space. Your self-talk (all those crazy thoughts you might ignore) is the mechanics that create the energy you attract into your life. Yes, all that background underlying stuff does affect your life and what happens in it. If you really want to change your mind then listen carefully to those thoughts and turn them around. Don't let your made up fears rule your world and what you believe your reality to be.
Imagine a world made up of your deepest desires and passions without the fear attached to it. The fear of success or failure, the fear of being noticed, the fear of being different, the fear of being broke or not having enough. We each have our own sack of stuff that we make excuses around that are our own fears. What if for one hour a day we picked one fear and turned it around, wrapped it in positive thoughts and saw them for what they really are. We change our mind about who we are in relation to what we are fearing. We take charge of our fears and move through them one at a time and as often as we need. Just one hour away from the tv or phone or computer unless we need to write or use some creative method of dealing with the fears. My outlet is writing. What could yours be?

Should I or Shouldn’t I
Intention – plan of action; purpose either immediate or ultimate – Webster’s Dictionary
I believe that most of us pass our days by with well meaning intentions but I wonder how often we really get what we actually started out to manifest from the jump?
Seriously, I spend too much of my time in self discovery and I come up with this crazy mind bending stuff and decide to document it and share it. I really have to laugh at myself (lol). Still I realize that I need to refocus my intentions now and this is just a way for me to formulate a plan of action. Since I changed my diet, lost weight and improved my health over the past few months or at least since my blog post on May 7, 2016 http://www.womynsspirituality.com/stories.php from my website Womyns Spirituality, I am actually finally understanding how much I needed to struggle in my life. I chose a tough path to walk when I came onto this plane but there certainly is no need to begrudge myself of an easy flowing life now. Not gonna beat myself up though because I also see how who I was; made me who I am and that is not a bad thing for me.
So after observing the physical, emotional, energetic, and psychic energy and effort that I used to support my journey when I made the commitment to improve my health; provides what is needed for me to refocus in the right direction now. Since I am successful in shifting my health issues around (read the aforementioned article please) I can now move forward with other intentions using the same formula, methods, techniques, whatever they are, to move another aspect of my life into the “flow”. Really, self discovery is a true gem, and has the scent of newly opened roses on a bush in the warm summer breeze. Hmmm. I think it is also soft like the petals of a rose and bright and shiny like a multifaceted diamond and warm as hot sunny day. If you can see the roses and shiny diamonds and smell the delicious scent of the rose and see and feel the beauty of the sun slowly melting beyond the horizon, then you have a very important part of the formula of manifesting ones desires into reality.
It’s the passion and discipline that I put into staying on track with my diet and releasing about eighty percent of my uncontrolled thoughts that resulted in a successful mission. Well, it’s probably the same type of regime that I used to overcome Graves Dysease and Congestive Heart Failure a few years back. Dedication to the cause, to the outcome is essential. An attitude of gratitude and compassion for myself and my environment is also key. It is so true that one’s environment is but a reflection of one’s inner world. Therefore, the truth must be that if you decide that you are and deserve to embrace inner peace and gratification you also start to attract that in you outer environment. Believe me I have made many boo boos by putting out intention and then adding fear, doubt, frustration or some other adverse emotion into the formula and wonder why I attract more of what I have (and am trying to get rid of usually lol)
Gee the healthier I get, the more empowered I become and the more humbled I feel. I think that the more my ego shrinks the closer I become to the little girl in me and I feel like I just need to chill; about everything. So I can boldly say that I got more than I bargained for and I still want more peace and contentment that comes along with feeling better about me and pampering me towards better health and a better life. Again I have to laugh at myself as I unwind my mind like a ball of yarn that is a bit tangled (lol}. Now I have to go into my peaceful place and rest my brain and play some music for a while until those thoughts begin to spin and I once again release..
Cheers!..

Living in the Now and Letting Go of the Then
Having balance is very important in staying healthy in general for all of us. We balance our diet, work and play, relationships, healthy living, finances, emotions and more. We are constantly walking that thin line “between love and hate” on a daily basis.
When I decided to overcome my chronic ails, I also had to make the choice to no longer allow my insecurities and doubts to devour me and thereby rule my existence. It came to light that I had so successfully pushed my cannibalistic thoughts deep down into my mind and that they were affecting me in my every day world. The chronic pain and illness, and constant thinking was taking away from me energetically and weakening me, slowing my forward movement.
My objective was to change my environment so that it embraced the atmosphere of the sacredness that I experienced when I lived on the Sunshine Coast. It was there living in a cabin under the trees by the beach surrounded by nature that I embraced the Wyse Womyn healer within. At the moment that I had the thought that I felt this was lost to me was when I realized that It was my inner environment that needed changing. It was that “light that goes on” when you hit truth. The Wyse Womyn still existed, but it was all the clutter that I was hoarding that was interfering with my relationship with her.
Living in the city was quite a culture shock and I had become more involved in my outer world than I was used to while living on the Coast. There were so many distractions to pull me away from my place of peace and sacredness. I had accustomed myself to being more focused on the material world and the struggle of white collar society.
I must admit that living in the big city (Vancouver Lower Mainland et.al.) and dealing with the trials and tribulations and becoming wrapped up in everyday struggle with everyone else has strengthened me in ways that were necessary. I have overcome a lot of family issues just by being here and making myself available and that has shifted me in a big way. I now have the “Lady Balls” to speak up and deal with things that I used to let just move past me. I also have a clearer insight to things that used to elude me.
The big bonus is that I have cleared so much mental interference and this has allowed my energy to transcend so I am now a vessel for channeling some pretty powerful energy sources. All in all I truly have become a better person by dealing with the material world on a bigger scale. I am so prepared for whatever is to come my way. The Universe only puts before you what you can handle and I am confident that I can handle quite a load at this time.
My challenge right now is balancing my thoughts. I am successfully eliminating the negatives, the “I can’t” and “what ifs” thoughts and replacing them with the energy of love and acceptance. I know that I have to be persistent and teach myself to no longer accept the debilitating string of mental interference that holds me back. The more I release the easier it becomes to stay in the flow and release my attachment to the “then” and live fully in the “now”.

The more I release the easier it becomes to stay in the flow and release my attachment to the “then” and live fully in the “now”.

What's on Your Mind?
You are what you think
As a healer I am constantly on the job with me. Energetically I work on a high level and therefore in order to stay an asset to others I have to stay ahead of the game so to speak. When I lived on the Sunshine Coast of B.C. holding my energy clear and high was a piece of cake. I spent a lot of time outdoors, on the beach in nature. Traffic was at a minimum. I now live in Surrey and it is quite the opposite. It seems there is always some noise and people and cars.
I have recently made some decisions about my healing journey that is challenging me to move past who I am now and forward on my journey. Once I committed to the challenge I realized that my biggest problem was my piece of mind. I had become lazy about monitoring the deeper parts of my mind and this is causing me some stress, depression, physical dyscomfort and dysease in my being. I allowed the noise around me to become the norm within me.
I am so not used to so much noise and confusion and disharmony in my environment. Sirens and accidents, the energy of people shooting each other, being mugged, drug addicts. As an empath I began stuffing all of this just to get it out of the way, ignoring it. I still managed to complain about my environment whenever I got the chance and realize that I have been traumatized by so much unrest around me. Obviously I have been walking down the wrong road.
So now what do I do? Where do I go from here? Well this is the easy part. I return to the peace of mind that I brought with me from the Sunshine Coast because this is something that is mine and no one or nothing can take that away from me. It was my choice at some point to give up that piece of mind and allow the energy of my environment to be influenced by outside forces. I see pictures in my mind of people and situations that I have experienced in the past three years that disturbed this peace and I acknowledge them and allow them to be a part of the peace that is me.
Some of you may not understand how this is going to help me. What I have done in this moment is to take back my power, my energy. I created the disharmony when I allowed other people and situations to influence who I am in my life. I became a product of my environment when I allowed my focus to become what was occurring around me. My peace of mind has always been mine but at some point I decided that the noise around me was more important and the complaining and helplessness that I embraced only enforced it. My mind became busier as it aligned with my environment and I felt more helpless, more unrest and dysease. As I take back my power I realize that I am now the solution and no longer the problem.

How Long Does This Go On?
I don’t know how many times over the many years I’ve been in the Healing Arts Industry have I heard someone say “I have done all my healing”, or ask me “how long is this going to take”. I really try not to laugh but inside I am rolling around on the ground. Every day of my life I am challenged with sorting out one thing or another in my effort to stay clear and grounded.
It does become easier as time goes on but as long as I have life I know that there is a possibility that I will react to one thing or another. It is my intention to not hold on to the stuff floating around me and this allows me to stay empowered at every given moment (most of the time anyway). I may react but as long as I do not become emotionally entangled and pulled into the vortex of blame, shame, guilt, anger, frustration and so on, I am safe.
Unfortunately there is only one way out of this existence so it really is important to make the best of every moment we have here. One of the most debilitating things that I have learned not to hold on to is to not blame someone else for my life circumstances. It is also one of my biggest challenges. I came into this life as a victim, being of ethnic origin during times when it was not accepted, and also living in a household where men were violent.
My challenge is to let go of the child within who finds comfort in hiding in that place of not feeling empowered. This morning I went deep into my being and shifted energy in places I was not aware of. I felt this child hiding and the energy around it had a sense of unworthiness. This is a place where those emotions sneak up on me at the worst time and question the decisions that I am making.
I am grateful that I have the tools to move this energy and to be able to step back and observe how it has affected me in my past. Once the energy has been transcended I feel I have more room for peace and joy in my life. I also know that there are more bits and pieces way down there somewhere that need to be enlightened but I am not going to look for them. Everything happens in its own time just the way it is meant to happen. And honestly…I don’t know how long this is going to go on.

Following my Purpose
The very first time I encountered Afrikan Divination was at a psychic Fair in Vancouver. Before I actually stepped firmly into myself as a Psychic Healer I used to be in awe of Psychic Fairs. Rather I was drawn to them and tried to spend as much time as possible at them. I usually had a reading but would also spend the weekend examining all the different techniques and modalities. It was in the mid eighties that I was introduced to Reiki.
My parents loved to garden and since early childhood I would curiously listen as they shared their relationship with the plants and weeds in the back yard. My grandfather (Mom’s dad) declared that it was only natural for me to show an interest in plants because his first wife, my grandmother used plants for healing.
Hands-on-healing was as natural to me as communing with the vegetation around me. I recall watching an old black and white movies about a faith healer with my mother (maybe it was not so old at the time…) She told me that people actually could help others heal with their hands and then suggested that maybe I could do that. That made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and that thought stayed with me throughout the years.
My life naturally flowed into being a Spiritual Healer after receiving my Reiki. I participated in psychic fairs throughout the interior of B.C., in Alberta, Ontario and just across the border in Blaine. I enjoy the work immensely and I know that this is my path, my purpose. I am now just learning to relax and enjoy not only my passion as a healer but my passions in life, for living and enjoying life to the fullest.
I am now preparing to step firmly into the role as a Teacher on a wider scale. I have accumulated so much knowledge over the past sixty five years and I know that there are many out there who will benefit from me as I will benefit from them. There are a wide scope of presentations and events to come, just stayed tuned to this site and/or leave a comment, make a suggestion or call or Facebook me. I would also love to collaborate with you on a project.

The Art of Divination - Receiving a reading
Divination has been used as a means of predicting the outcome of life’s mysteries since tribal life existed. At times important decisions were not made unless first consulting with the tribal Divinator and then the right course of action would be taken. Some instances would be illness, war, hunting, traveling, and family and or tribal decisions. Even now we are aware of “signs” to guide us in our daily lives. The readings I provide are a combination of Zulu Divination, Venda Tablets, Astrology, and various decks of tarot.
Divination readings are an excellent way to look at one’s life and get a feel of what is happening from the inside out. A reading of any kind would allow one to be able to take a peak at the circumstances of their life and help in making decisions on what the next step may be.
The readings I perform will enlighten you in areas of your home, family, career, health, finances and all major areas of your life. A session covers the health and well being of your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual bodies. The focus is on the relationship you are having with yourself and others and how they can evolve. My goal is and always will be is to assist you to better understand your contribution to your life’s circumstances and to improve them.
The reading will not foretell fame fortune, gloom or doom. What it will do is open your mind up to what is really occurring in your life and those close to you and allow you to make decisions on the outcomes you choose. You may explore different outcomes and see what the results will be so it does assist in making right choices.
I am honest, compassionate and accurate and I am here to serve you.

#Bones that Know "Helping you to move forward on your journey"
Many of us have those moments where we wonder how we are going to move forward in our lives. Unsurety of our next move and fear that we are going to make the same mistakes that we made in the past could leave us insecure about an investment in a relationship, business venture, property, career decisions, or.....(fill in the blanks,) Let's face it we are all spiritual beings on a human journey and we are here to learn so much. It is only natural to trip and falter on that journey as we learn our lessons along the way. I believe that we each possess the key to an inner well of information and knowledge within and the problem being that we need our vessel and our minds to be clear to acccess this information and to trust that the connection gives us the power to use it. Not all of us understand how to tap into this source even though our connection is strong and some of us dive into it at will.
I beleive that I move easily between the veil of the known/unknown, seen/unseen, heard/unheard, visible and invisible, realms of the Universe. I do not see death as an ending but as movement through the veil into other realms, dimensions, galaxies, unlimited potential. I respect the pain expereinced by others because of a passing of a loved one but I also sense, feel the presence of the one passing over and I choose to connect with the higher vibration of this energy if possible, which is not always what the bereaved individual is connecting with. Not only do I connect with those passing over in this way but also with those that have passed over, the Ancestors, and those that are here now. When I connect in this manner I will only speak what I believe to be the Truth revealed at a higher vibration.
I beleive that I am highly intuitive or "psychic" as some refer to it as. I see this as a gift that I use to assist others to connect or re-connect with the inner well of knowledg at a higher vibration. I use Afrikan divination as a tool to open the "door" to the unseen aspect of your worlds and we delve into it together to resolve mental, physical, spiritual, emotional, and energetic (the five lower bodies) issues, blocks, etc. in your life. I am a compassionate listener and have the ability to stay outside of the situation to allow you an inside out look at your life. Hands on and remote healing sessions assists to release the five lower bodies of the attachment to any lower vibrating energies that create holding patterns that keep you "down " in your life. I also create magic symbols and creams and potions to assist in maintianing a higher vibration. My mission in Truth is to "Help you to move forward on your journey" and to anchor you into a higher vibration. Blessings

Ironing out the Wrinkles
“At times it seems to me that I am living my life backwards, and that at the approach of old age my real youth will begin. My soul was born covered with wrinkles—wrinkles my ancestors and parents most assiduously put there and that I had the greatest trouble removing.”
An Unprejudiced Mind….André Paul Gide (22 November 1869 – 19 February 1951) was a French author and winner of the Nobel Prize in literature in 1947.
I am so drawn to this man’s wisdom.
As I read this quote I immediately visualized the wrinkles on my soul and felt the presence of my Ancestors at work. I feel so at peace as I realize how many wrinkles I have ironed out. But yet there are so many layers left. Ironing out the wrinkles today is work and I realize just how diligent I have to be in smoothing out the deeper layers connected to the past, the Ancestors and make peace with them on a conscious level. I am in a conundrum as to what purpose aging serves at times. I have never panicked about aging as I had decided many years ago (I believe that it was after reading the book series of “The Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East, by Baird T. Spalding) that aging was senseless, at least the thought of aging anyway. It works almost like the thought of being ugly, stupid, dumb, fat, and all those others beliefs we choose to choke on that feed those never-ending wrinkles.
I believe that I inherited so much more through those wrinkles to make it worth the work it takes in smoothing them out. My heightened intuition being one of my most treasured gifts to evolve from my struggle in releasing the wrinkles my parents shared and left me with. The end result of letting go of that was the manifestation of Graves Dysease which landed me in the hospital with Congestive heart failure. At one point in the hospital I left my body and went on a journey which I believe I kept one foot in for a few years as I healed and completely reversed my condition (my specialist insisted many times that this had never been done before). As I indulge in my other creative ventures such as painting, knitting, writing, singing, and so on I also recognize the communication from the different Ancestors that accompanies each of these artistic outlets. With great gratitude I continue to move forwards, always with their blessings and I release, let go, and learn from those wrinkles.

How comfortable are you
Greetings all and the best to you for the New Year. I have been absent since June of last year, I felt I had to reevaluate the time I was spending on the web. I am back with a new attitude and a new sense of well being.
This quote expresses just where I am at and how I have been feeling for the past few months. I am consciously moving out of my comfort zone; and this opens me up to a new life, a new way of being. I recognize just how hard I have been working to create a safety net around myself just to be comfortable. The more I move out of my comfort zone, the more at peace, at home I feel within myself. I am recognizing that by worrying about how things will turn out is most often worst than the actual outcome. So I choose to move away from the shore with only the greatest of expectations and therefore I am discovering the new life that begins at the end of my comfort zones. I am becoming a pioneer in my life as I venture into those unknown areas that I used to hold in fear of entering, of living to the fullest. There is a feeling of excitement in living that I never experienced before. I also feel that I am now able to do what is best for me rather than doing what I feel that I should do because it is the right thing to do. I truly understand the concept of living life through my passions and by adding gratitude to the formula, I am provided with all the comfort I require plus more.
One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight, for a very long time, of the shore.André Paul Gide (22 November 1869 – 19 February 1951) was a French author and winner of the Nobel Prize in literature in 1947

In life we may be caught up in who we are and what we have to do to maintain who we are and forget to slow down and embrace those inner aspects of self that require nurtuing. Now is the time to address the inner you who may be peeking out at times but never makes it past the little peek hole that we create to ensure that it is still present. When we ignore these aspects we never really move in the forward direction that we intend. Sometimes we are just comfortable with our story and what we have made of them so we choose not to dig any deeper to learn, grow and heal more than is neccessary to maintain our comfort level.
Remembering the Goddess Within is an exercise of going in comfortably and embracing those hidden aspects, addressing them and integrating them. We become more at peace and empowered in ourselves and in our lives as we move past our fears and boundaries and learn to communicate and become the absolute aspects of our hidden powers.
Join me on this journey. You can begin at any time or invite friends to join you on this journey and we will incorporate group sessions to share and heal...Your choice, just make the decision to be more than you ever imagined in this lifetime.I

Infinite Creation
The following is a story from the book "The Path of the Goddess" by Embers Moore, soon to be published.
Follow me deep into the womb of Mother Earth and become nurtured within the embrace of the mysteries of her darkness. Deep into the fiery pits of creation, hear the rumbling as she gently moves and shifts her ever-living, every-growing, ever-moving, transcending self and relax. In the far distance hear the moaning of new life, and infinite creation. Follow me through the tunnels of life as we move towards the sound.
He peers through the tiny crack that he left in the opening of the cave, just large enough for his face to be seen. He watches through the light of Grandmother Moon in wonder at her squirming body as she prepares a small hole cushioned with leaves and lies down into the darkness, legs spread, preparing for the wonder of birth. He hears the scream, then the silence followed by the small wail of life itself. His mind is an awe of this mystery as his nose detects the smell of game and he shifts into the stance of the hunter, the shape-shifter. She is safe and can care for herself and new life until he returns.
She/He
She expressed herself from the womb, stretched her will and gave bloom
To the meadows and fields, and the valleys and the waters that yield
The two, the four legged beings, the life that lives deep in the seas
The seasons, the day and night, the ones in the sky that give flight
She felt the life in her give way, to new beginnings new days
She gave trust to the sun and the moon, as with the changes in life she attuned
And gave praise to the Creator, the One, from the womb where all life has come
And embraced the gifts the sight, that guided her to all things right
He crouched in the dark of the cave, in silent awe of how brave
She who in the night screamed, and pushed out a tiny being
From the swollen darkness within, somehow new life starts once again
The puzzle, the unknowing the mystery, of why only She and not He?
Inside he feels the shift: he knows this is the Gift
Something he will never know, inside him life will not grow
He moves silently into the night, his mind alert at the sight
Of the beast that he now hunts, He breathes as they become one
He follows silently and still, moves in closer for the kill
Undetected for in his mind, they are both of the same kind
He knows that this is the way, of the stealth the hunter to prey
Upon the mighty beast, He aligns in respect to defeat
Unattached they share in the feast, she cooks, sews hides for his feet
Gathers food from the ground, as the day echo’s the sound
Of the cry of new life, the flutter of beasts in flight
As he runs off with spear and she holds her new life so near

False Evidence - Honoring the Inner Ear
In contemplating fear I realize that it is the biggest reason that many of us do not step into “who we really are in this lifetime”. It brings to mind the acronym for a workshop facilitated by Fred Shadian a few years back – FEAR –False Evidence About Reality which was the theme of the workshop that led into a Firewalk which I did. I learned that by seeing ourselves as unlimited beings we leave no room for fear or False Evidence.
With an open mind I proclaim that our whole life is based upon the story of those who influence us the most in our lives and the story of the Collective Unconscious since day one. Who is to say or judge that everything we were taught and/or the way we were taught what we know was correct? For example, a tree is a tree because someone said it was. If we were told that tree was a foot and no one else intervened, we would spend our life believing that this was true. Thus it could be true to say that who we are today may be based upon the influence, and sometimes approval of some outside force.
False Evidence exists everywhere because unfortunately we are products of a fear-based society. If you watch T.V. every day and believe the stories that you hear through the media you would soon become a controlled fear- based being. You make the choice about how you frame your reality and how you assist those in your care to frame theirs. I recall when Womyn resorted to burning their bras to put a point across. I also remember picketing the United States Consulate in Winnipeg to protest against Apartheid and the import of South African goods. Those who are meant to take care of the bigger picture do not always hold the vision of the whole in mind.
Peer pressure is a means of controlling the youth of today as they are so afraid of not being accepted concerning how they look, act, eat, and think. At some point in time we decided to give up a part of our basics right and trust those who we put in charge to run this country to look over our greater good. Like the peel of an onion the story of trust unwinds or rewinds itself as does our roles in the story.
Only when we come together in love as a whole and unite in the teaching of youth, issues of human equality and the care of the Elders, animals and the planet can we overcome the False Evidence we have created about our reality. When we choose to stand together and hold all men, Womyn and children, and all life as precious and valued in our hearts then the world will exist in love and peace.
Love is meant to heal all pain and misery only if we allow it to be so. A united global love can open up the heart of the Unconscious Collective and shift the energy of the Earth plane as we know it. We could transcend as a collective and eradicate all hunger, war, and conflict.
This ideal situation is my opinion but it is one that I believe can be attained. When one heart opens to trust and unconditional acceptance it move past its own False Evidence ant this opens the way for others to do the same like the dominos effect. It’s always about choice.
