Oh my, it's been so long!

Wow, it's been months since I've blogged.  Balancing life can be so challenging.  I've been working 2 jobs and am living in 3 different cities right now.  And while balance has always been a challenge, I'm very happy.  Wanna know why?!  Because I feel a sense of belonging.  I'm spending more time with family and friends.  There's something about connection that really makes me feel exhilarated!  Nothing gives me more pleasure than the ability to connect with others.  As I move onto a new chapter in my life, and say good-bye to the current one, I am finding how truly connected I had been all along to others, nature, the world.  It's a wonderful feeling!  And I hope to blog more about it in the coming weeks.  But for now, I'm off to drive to yet another city.  My city.  Sacramento.

Days 11-13: Connecting w/other Goddesses

The last couple of days have been a struggle for me as I'm dealing with a shift in my feminine self. What I have found though is that when I reached out to my other female friends who have experienced "The Change", there was an incredible sigh of relief coming from them. I received emails thanking me for sharing with them my own struggles because they felt a sense of connection with me. There were comments like, "I thought I was the only one feeling crazy", or "I'm having trouble sleeping, too." And then there's the exchange of information on holistic, natural interventions and how to express feelings in healthy ways. We are not alone in this transition. It's a wonderful time filled with sadness, happiness, excitement, grief, and connection to other women. By connecting on deeper levels, we can find the gifts of validation, understanding, and meaning, knowing there is something greater at work than ourselves.
