Tis the Season to Celebrate Rhubarb!

    Hestia and Becoming a Domestic Goddess

    I received a pleasant surprise today in my daily read. Years ago I purchased Simple AbundanceSimple Abundance and loved its daily dose of beauty, domesticity and peace. Last year I took the Sacred Contracts training with Caroline Myss and one of the books that was strongly recommended was Jean Shinoda Bolen's, Goddesses In EverywomanGoddesses in Everywoman. In this seminal work, Jungian analyst and feminist Shinoda Bolen interprets six ancient Greek goddesses for modern women, encouraging us to develop our full personalities by experimenting with the energies of these powerful female archetypes.

    Your Spirit is Calling to You

    Your spirit (or soul) is always communicating with you - urging you along this path or that, always looking out for your highest good and potential.

        I've just powered through Core Integral Level I, the brainchild of Ken Wilber and Clint Fuhs over at Integral Life and it has been quite a ride. I feel that my mind has been pummeled and that my brain has been sent to the steam room to recover after a wicked workout. Every now and then it's good for me to tackle a big thought - and Integral Theory certainly appears to be that, a sort of metaphilosophical theory of everything.

          Otter Thompson: Investigating the Real

          I find the idea that the world as we perceive it is not really the world rather captivating. That the Matrix's thesis that it is an illusion designed to keep us emotionally enthralled reminds me of Otter Thompson's perspective in Walking Through Illusion. 

            Otter Thompson: Taking it slow

            'Aha!' I thought to myself the other day. I'd finally found a flaw with Walking Through Illusion, Betsy Otter Thompson's excellent book to be released in January. I had just slammed through four chapters (I've read 11 now if you are keeping track) and suddenly it occurred to me that this is not a book to be read quickly.

            Smith: Honoring the Sacred Earth Review

            The bottom line (because why should you have to wait!): B
