Hi Monique
Thanks for checking in with us, it’s so wonderful to hear from you.
Unfortunately the link you shared asks me to sign up as a member to view your files so I didn’t get to see your progress. I can imagine it’s looking amazing though! I love that you find it so relaxing. It’s a form of meditation isn’t it? I wonder if any inspiration comes through to you during these times or whether it’s solely a time to be present?
OMG, I can’t wait to experience Spring. We’ve had A LOT of dull rainy cold days here so far, with the exception of a warm sunny day a earlier in the week which was a cruel tease! 🤣 My little magnolia tree has started to bud out though and I anticipate the flowers blooming in a few days time which will be wonderful. They always remind me of my father because they had a large magnolia tree in their garden and I remember it was in full bloom when he died.
I love hawks too. Their cry is so soulful, wild and mystical. I used to hear them a lot when I lived in Hood River. I see them here often but haven’t heard their cries.
This brings me to reflect on spirit animals. For many years my spirit animal has been the wolf. I haven’t connected with that energy for a while now and would love to revisit their energy to see if they are still with me or if it’s time for a new spirit animal now I’m in a new phase of my life. Perhaps this would be a good topic for one of our meetings? Let me know what you think lovely ladies.
I love that you get to nap on the kitchen floor with your cats as the sun warms you. A very cat like thing to do!
Everything is going well for me. I’m having to surrender to some things taking more time than I would ideally like (putting together my online course and the work on my house), however other areas of my life are falling into place nicely, so I suppose those are the areas which are needing more attention right now!
Sending love to you all.
Sally
I LOVE that you’re focusing on embodying joy Monique. It’s wonderful to notice the so called “small” things in life that bring big beautiful feelings with them.
Many years ago I began a gratitude practice where I did what you’re doing Monique. Now it’s second nature to me. I’m always noticing the small things in life that take me into gratitude and joy. If I’m in a situation where I want to remember a particular experience, I will take time to feel into it on every level – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. I will become aware of all the senses such as the smells, the sounds, and seeing the way the light is moving around me. I allow all these things to reach a peak and then I bottle it! I imagine having an old apothecary type bottle with a cork in it and put the whole experience inside. Then I can open the bottle anytime I want to to experience it again. It’s like I have my own alchemist’s lab with shelves of these bottles labelled with different experiences I can revisit.
Plus as we all know, what you focus on you get more of! So focusing on the things that bring us joy or appreciation will just bring more of that wondrousness into our lives.
LOVE it Monique.

Hi Ruth
Wonderful to hear from you.
I have just this minute finished editing the final video for my “Discover your Soulful Menopause” course. What a relief! That’s been a lot of hard work and MANY MANY MANY hours! I still have all the materials to create now, and I need to write a web page describing it (oh and one more easy video of a walkthrough of the dashboard when it’s done), but it feels sooo good to get to this stage.
I’m hoping you’ll all have access to it very soon.
Everything is progressing well for me 🙂
How are the rest of you doing?
Hi Ruth
So sorry to hear how unwell you’ve been but glad to hear you’re feeling better now.
I think “what if I felt well?” is a lovely empowering question when you’re not doing so good. Well done for that and for the awareness of self care too. Great progress!
Also, just showing up here every week is an empowered action too Ruth. You’re doing really well 🙂
I hope this coming week you will feel much better.
Sending oodles of love and healing
Sally
Hi Monique and Ruth
Yes, when we go into our cave during Tending the Cauldron we can certainly not only go deep within ourselves, but we can retreat into our homes and own energy too. I’m glad sharing my experiences of this has helped you Monique. I’m glad to hear you exploring Qi Gong as well. Yoga is a moving meditation for me.
Sorry to hear you’ve been feeling stuck this week Ruth. I hope your “what if….” questions are helping in some way. And YAY and double YAY (YAY YAY!!) for posting here. That’s a great Action Step you’ve taken this week, so perhaps you’re not as stuck as you think you are!
Hi everyone, how’s everything going? I would love to hear from you.
I’m having to type this message all over again as it didn’t send and erased it, so sorry if it pops up twice at some point!
I’ve begun recording the videos for my new introductory online course. I’m thinking of calling it “Discovering your Soulful Menopause”. Any other ideas are welcomed! I’m happy this project is moving ahead.
I’m also now feeling well enough to starting thinking about how I’m going to create a meaningful and joyful social life for myself. I spent nearly 7 years in relative isolation on a mountainside in the U.S. and then landed in the UK, bought a cottage quickly, and hibernated here for about 10 months. All alone. This cottage became my cave. It was my Tending the Cauldron phase. I found my Jewels of Wisdom and then peeped my head out of the cave in the Spring last year. I had a beautiful short term relationship through the summer which awakened me. A month after that ended I was in hospital having my operation. I was plunged into isolation once again as I started my healing journey. So now I’m ready to come out and play – hopefully for good this time! I have rested in the new landscape of my Sage Woman’s Destiny, and now I’m ready to start creating.
Rae has asked me to post a comment on her behalf as she is having some technical gremlins to deal with at the moment!
She apologises for not being present in recent circles. She has had a lot of personal stuff to deal with. However Rae is now feeling ready to join back in with the group and wanted me to say that she’s looking forward to reconnecting with you all this month.
Her goals are:
1. To make more time for herself
2. To be bold and take every opportunity that comes her way
Fabulous Ruth! I’m so happy this is working for you. Yay!
Hi Monique
Thanks for the update. I love how you are exploring your big and little wants!
Hi Susie
Great questions!
Yes, I believe a reading can inspire us to take another path or alter our current one somewhat. However, like I said yesterday, I believe (and have seen a gazillion times!), that some experiences in life are just ‘meant to be’. I usually describe this like a train track – there are certain junctions (life experiences/people you meet) you will have to pass through but you can choose which tracks to go down. Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter which tracks you take because they will all take you to specific junctions anyway!
A reading can sometimes provide us with the opportunity of fast tracking certain events in life/lessons in life if we choose to react in a different way because of that reading. This is why sometimes you may see your yearly readings skipping ahead by a month or two (or falling behind if you are not facing your life lessons!).
YES! If cards fly out of the pack when you are shuffling them, pay notice to them. They usually have a very powerful message. Sometimes these cards are all you need to answer the question! If you are shuffling the pack thinking of broader questions such as what the year holds for you, you will find the cards that fly out will give you either a general idea/energy of the year ahead, or they may be highlighting one of the most important things that will be happening for you (or the person you are reading for).
I hope this helps.
Let me know if it raises any other questions for you!

Glad you’re enjoying the chakra info. I will post the next one tomorrow!
Thanks Susie. We will have some focused practice on letting go of barriers next week. xxx
I’m so happy you’re finding the journal prompts insightful Monique.
Thank you so much for sharing the resources you’re discovering.
I’m also loving the change from summer to autumn. I see entering menopause as an autumnal time. We begin letting go of what no longer serves us (the falling leaves), and also start to step into a new vibrancy, showing our true colours. Even though the weather begins getting cold, the warm flame colours of autumn remind me of the phoenix of transformation.
How wonderful you went on a forest bathing experience and felt your connection to the divine feminine there.
I’m looking forward to seeing you all next week!

Hi Shirley
Yes, Susie is correct, I sent you an email regarding the tea on Tuesday (subject line: Tea and Recording).
I also sent an email on Friday 30th September (subject line: IMPORTANT Dashboard Changes) with a walkthrough video of how to navigate the dashboard.
It seems my emails may be going into your junk folder, so please make sure you add “[email protected]” to your safe senders list.
The recordings of our classes and an audio recording of how to open up and close down is on the dashboard.
Let me know if you need any more help.

Thanks for sharing that Susie. I’m looking forward to seeing your cards.
I have my scrying bowl on my desk now, so I will show it to you next week.
