The Wood Element at times gets a bad rap and can b

The Wood Element at times gets a bad rap and can be very misunderstood.

Because of its directed yang nature its easy for it to be hijacked by patriarchy, capitalism and hustle.

When our ambition is without roots it runs wild, overwhelming and bulldozing over everything else that’s in its path so that it can continue running.

Except that isn’t what the Wood element is about at all. Yes its directed and yang and it will journey to the edge of your capacity just to see how far you can stretch, but its medicine is also kindhearted, true and just.

Its able to support the smallest of sprouts grow one leaf and stem at a time. Utilizing the resources that it has within its grasp, making the most out what is available to assist new life to thrive.

In fact, the first month of a pregnancy is also governed by the Wood element, when exponentially the most growth happens even though its unseen.

The Wood Element’s medicine is deliberate and strategic, holding and defending the vision for what is possible so that little sprout (from seed, embryo, desire or dream) can just keep going.

Our ability to embody this medicine is no different. Connected to our Alchemy and conscious of our requirements the Wood element will help hold space for each and every seed that you sowed, through your intention setting and dreaming.

Tapping into its presence now with the season of spring, I invite you to notice how the Wood Element is calling you into something new.

Where can you experience its benevolent forces to assist you on your next step?

For me, I am calling on the Wood element with a new lens to help guide me through to my next chapter of sharing my voice and my truth.

Its a little raw.

I feel incredibly vulnerable

However, this is where I’m being asked to grow, so here it goes.

Writing prompt: what is your relationship to mothe

Writing prompt: what is your relationship to mothering/caretaking? What do those words mean to you?

This year at home it has become very apparent that my relationship to those words aren’t working for me.

To me mothering is a verb. It’s synonymous with anticipatory. I must be able to anticipate and therefore I must always be available. - hello Earth

Except being available and anticipatory means I’m never fully embodied in the moment of right now.

Having a pulse on a projected future has robbed me of my presence and the present. Even in moments alone, I’m never fully settled.

How do I shift this? How do I unlearn a skill that has served me so well in so many ways?

Anticipatory works for me in a treatment room, with a client, being a good friend, caring for my sun. Except anticipatory also makes me an observer to my own life.

Sitting on the sidelines waiting to be needed. This unfortunately has made me resentful to the word and all the ways that I must mother. The complete opposite of what I want.

Anticipatory is not, does not and will not ever equate to what mothering is. Which leaves me no option but to rediscover and redefine what mothering and motherhood means to me. All while adjusting my expectations and boundaries for how I anticipate.

Finding my way back to the present and the person and mother I am to be right now.

My Beloved,

Two steps forward, one step back
My love, I know that you feel like this keeps happening.
You’re frustrated and asking “Why”.

This idea that you have is an illusion.
Let me show you what this looks like from my point of view.
Come up here and rest on my branches so you can see.

Okay now look.
Your “one step back” isn’t back at all.
You’re always moving forward on your path.
And look over there! That’s where you were. Now you’re over here.

There are times when you were required to slow down, consolidate, and affirm your resources.
These “steps back” that you curse and berate yourself for.

That’s all that they are.
Opportunities to check in and remain true to your heart.
They ready you to take the next two, four, even six steps at great speed.

Be easy on yourself.
You’re doing great work.
You’ve come so far, keep going.

I believe in you,
XO

And now he is 8! Yesterday we celebrated E. I don’t know where the time has gone and to be honest I struggle to remember him in the pictures of past though each day and passing year more of who he is shines forth. He is kind, generous, sensitive and holds his ground for what he believes to be his truth.

He’s my sun moon and stars and I feel incredibly blessed to have him call me mom. 💗

Happy Lunar New Year! 🐂 2021 we celebrate and w

Happy Lunar New Year! 🐂 2021 we celebrate and welcome the energy of the Metal Yin Ox.

Second to the party the Ox brings about a calm, peaceful and stable year. We may still feel the tail of the rat for the first part of the year however in time with patience, hard work and cooperation 2021 is going to be a prosperous year for many.

The yin metal is about the future, inspiring us to hope and dream for better days ahead. The seeds we sowed last year and the beginning of this year will begin to grow and bear fruit come harvest time in the late summer and early fall.

With each passing day, everything will just keep getting better and better.

In the meantime, keep putting one foot in front of the other and allow inspired action to guide you to do the work necessary in the direction of your dreams. The ox faithfully shows up to plow the fields each day to promote fertility, the abundance of a good harvest and and luck.
