While this is the time of the year that Christians invite the rest of the spiritual/religious world to think about Jesus - and I’m a fan of that enlightened Jewish master but not the religion that others chose to tie him to 200 years later - I am thinking about divine births for the rest of us.
Remember that whole “what I do you shall do” situation he spoke about? He wasn’t lyin’. It’s time for the blast-off of the divine feminine.
Now, back in November 2023, Elizabeth Gilbert - redoubtable human being, woman, and incredible writer extraordinaire - gave a talk. And you must listen to this thing. It is absolutely a “holy shit!” piece of writing and her delivery is naturally flawless. A friend sent this to me tonight and I lost my mind watching it - in a good way, of course!
Watching this got me all “het-up” as they say in the south, and I went on a rant (the video of me, above). And it’s important to me to share the rant with you because first of all I’m going against the traditional gain and creating a whole range of courses and communities that serve everyone from the woman looking for tarot coachings, to women needing to network but hating how it’s set up. I’m changing the networking game by adding personal growth and community communication to it.
I’m getting ready to release a whole bunch of new things in a business that has suddenly got feet under it (!!!). But the Big Release really is that of me taking on a new mantra: fuckit, speak it!
I’m not accustomed to talking about the spiritual with as much confidence as I speak about speaking up.
But something shifted for me in the past two weeks - I know it’s the shifted energy which Pluto (which I never thought of in my life until a month ago) created by leaving my Sun sign - Capricorn - a few weeks ago. This has shifted the energy in a biiiiiiiiig way for us Cappies. Plus, nationally there is an enormous amount of underground energy going on politically at the same time as we’re having a - er - holiday. And I’ve been listening to people on YouTube who are really tuned in to what’s happening politically as well as energetically, and what they have to say is making me feel secure in knowing that it’s all going to be okay.
I’m not just believing these people because I wanna. I’m feeling the truth of what they’re speaking. And I’ve come to a place in my spiritual/personal work where I have sufficiently deepened my faith in my own feeling Truths. It’s a great place to be. It’s the right place to be! I have the answer to my long ago question I directed to Amma, “What. Is. Faith?”
In short, her answer is a greeting card I still have decades later. It said: “Real faith is having faith in one’s own self.” ~Amma.
At last, a place to put my feet, even if sometimes I misread where my feet are actually planted. But I think my last big error in that sense is now behind me. Thank goodness.
So here at last is my coming out, in a sense. I’m talking in my video as my complete self - everything from the fiery (Elizabeth Gilbert mentions Kali and Durga, the Hindu goddesses that you do not want to mess with!), to the not-at-all-polite (a.k.a. swearing, but you’re used to that), to what I know about the needed Rise of the Badass Women.
So, I hope one of these or both inspire you!
Lastly, this is holiday time. Doesn’t feel like the holidays to me. But they are the holidays. And my birthday is December 24th while the 45th anniversary of my mother’s death date just passed on December 10th. Weird month for me, December.
We must find things to appreciate and to love during this time. Appreciating and loving each other would be a good place to start.
I admit it: I despaired when the stolen election results came in, but I’m fresh out of despair now. Now I’ve chosen my seat in the arena, and it’s a seat in the section with all of the women who want to stand up in quiet and immovable certainty of their own worth and immutable divine feminine boundaries (as Liz speaks of), and all of the people of all sexual identities, orientations and sexes who are ready to create a brand new world.
Together.
