“This is a form of spiritual pollination, the inadvertent way that we long for the nectar of others and leave traces of the Spirit we steward wherever we love.”
~ Mark Nepo, the book of soul
This weekly publication is for all heart-centered warriors, trying to navigate this thing we call life with an intact open heart.

Dear Embodied Hearts and Dancing Souls,
August 8th is astrologically significant; read about it here. From me to you: an activation recording for you to source your own magnificence and abundance (link below). Also, I want you to know about a special book by a friend. See the Post Script.
Pollinators. Its Pollinator season. It is the time of year my husband and I feel the rewards of planting specific native plants that attract pollinators: i) goldfinch in the front yard ii) hummingbirds in the back and iii) bees all over.
There is a buzz in the air from all the wings moving hither and yon. Apparently some of this buzz does contain actual sparks. The season is whispering something to me about the possibilities and promises that are “in the works.” I love the idea of Mark Nepo’s that like bees, we carry and transfer our essence onto whomever or whereever we land.
The buzz. I am back in my heart (rejoice!). Something was so off in July, I couldn’t connect with my usual radar. I didn’t feel the same vibration in my writing even though I gave myself to it. For a minute I empathized with the artists who feared losing their muse. But it turned out to be so much better than losing or gaining a muse (more on this below). Now, the buzz is back. Building over the course of the last few days, this morning I woke up feeling the magnificent and abundant energies of today’s astrological Lion’s Gate portal. It was so strong I recorded this Activation as a gift so you may truly experience your own magnificence and abundance.
Clearing and Receiving. It took intentional enquiry with support from my human and cosmic resources to synchronize with my energetic reality. My soul was asking me to detach from the world completely, leaving all the daily activities behind. This is a time for much needed integration - energies are leaving, arriving, and its happening at a subtler levels than before. Clearing the mother wound led zippety zap to the father one wanting its time in the sun. This clearing was so beautiful, I can still feel the release of my inner child’s tight grip on the need to disprove a core message she received -- off not having have what it took to create a meaningful and “worthy” life. I can sense, feel and see the entire chain reaction of emotions and responses so strongly, I diagrammed them out.
It is sweet relief to no longer find this hold in my body. In addition to the clearing, I breathed in receiving more of Me. The next morning, I woke up to many moments of synchronicities. I could feel the energies still streaming into my body from the back of my heart. I clearly heard this message entering:
“I am GOOD for the life I want to live.” ~ my cosmic support team
The True Magic. Its so much about arriving at life through the gateway of the “I” in the quote above. Breathing in, and making room for, our true essence is the source of our Big Magic in the world. Going through the eye of the needle means being willing to find and meet our Real Self.
There is a physicality to this. Allowing energy to leave and enter. Allowing more of my essence into my body. Letting my soul gather all its bits.
Now I am letting this energy flow all the way down to my feet. This is my bedrock of the next phase of living. My feet will take me into the next landscape — from the edges, I will become more rooted, part of my life’s own mis en scene. Here is my true Standing. Energetically, the choices I make, the efforts I undertake, will not be driven by fear or anything else but by a desire to let my essence experience its joy. There is desire, potential, and magic all woven in here.
May the recording activate some of this for you today. You are the source of your abundance.
Stay #heartwoke. To your exquisite unfolding.
