New Posts!

Hi Sally,

I am using the journal posts.  I never pondered these topics before and am grateful for the new journeys and explorations I have gone on.  The Goddess one took me into researching more about Hestia who Tiffany and you suggested as a Goddess for me to look into.  I browsed Jean Shinoda Bolen’s Goddesses in Every Woman which then took me to the 1989 3 part series Women and Spirituality.  The 2009 movie Mythic Journeys also came up with a google search on Jean Shinoda Bolen.  I highly recommend both these thought provoking documentaries.  Another book I read/listened to and recommend is Sharon Blackie’s Hagitude which was mentioned in our first circle.

I find myself in awe of Mother Nature as she transforms the landscape from the verdant greens of summer to the flames of autumn.  Yesterday I went on a led Forest Bathing walk which ended sitting beside a tree.  Laying down next to a tree, I felt a connection with the web of roots which connects all the plants.  Looking up at the branches, I marveled at the strength of her trunk as the wind shifted her outer branches and danced with her.  I felt young next to her as she has been on this earth longer than I have.  This is where I feel the connection with the divine feminine and Grandmother.

I don’t think I would have considered any of these things without our circle and your journal prompts.  Thank you for them and this forum to be able to share.  Looking forward to our next circle.

With gratitude and love,

Monique
