Today, as life cascades all at once,may I remember that my body is holy ground.May I grant myself a sacred buffer,necessary white space,margins around the edges of doing,one pause, one breath, one honest enough. May I know that I can be grateful for all the good and overwhelmed by itat the same time,blessed by being in the middle of it alland still worthy of restand renewal.

Life’s Bits and Pieces: We have rootsand we have wings,thunder in our hearts,roses in our hands. We are edgewalkers on March’s threshold,new in our boneswhen we choose. reading: (just finished): The Demon Lover—as perhaps expected by the title, this one begins as a somewhat smutty, dark-academic, gothic sort of fantasy mystery, but it really evolves into something much more intriguing. Yes, about an incubus, but also about the realm of Faerie and a town in which fantasy creatures and humans co-exist (sometimes with knowledge and sometimes without). (to self) The Water Witch—this is the second book in the Fairwick Chronicles, which began with The Demon Lover above. (to kids): Dragonborn—about a pre-teen girl who discovers there is another realm just out of sight, the realm of dragons. (listening to with Tanner): The Wizard of Oz—we went to see Wizard of Oz on Ice at the university theater last weekend and it inspired us to start listening to the series. I have to say, this is a pro-tip for people who like to get their credits worth out of a trial Audible membership that you’re about to cancel—the complete collection of 22 books is available for ONE credit and NINETY-ONE HOURS of audio. Oh my! (just got on audio): Firekeeper’s Daughter—recommended to me by Amanda Fall, this one is about an indigenous teenager who begins to investigate corruption and conspiracy on the Ojibwe reservation, seeking justice. Thinking about: This quote: “I fear our modern world does not honor our need for stillness in the midst of nonstop busyness. Can we learn to be still enough to embrace the inner self and all it contains? The inner self is calling for balance. Can we practice a wholeness that allows for silence, nature and breath? My hope is yes." —Genevieve Mitchell (Goddess Ink) Resource Reminders: I made a new intro audio about the Goddess Magic Mystery School!

Evolving into Becoming Root into your body. Gather all your scattered pieces. Come back to center. Feel your feet connect to the earth. Breathe in. Breathe out. You belong to this moment. This video is a continuation of our allies for March--our animal ally (spring peeper!) as well as chamomile and seaweed! Core reminder: You are allowed to keep becoming. Note: the expanded version of this post is here. Questions to explore: How are you evolving into your next becoming? What is changing for you? What is emerging? How might you need to step out of your comfort zone this month? What would it mean for you to “return to a beginner’s heart”? Where in your life do you feel both tender and full of big dreams? Are you living mostly in the shallows or the depths of your own life right now? If you named this next phase of your becoming, what would you call it? Affirmations: I grow into my fullest potential. My magic continues to grow and evolve. I emerge into my life with wholeness, fullness, and trust. I emerge into the next phase of my becoming. I honor both my tender heart and my big dreams. I reach out for help (and to help). I know the medicine that I need. I am honest with my feelings. Mini ritual with Chamomile as our ally: Affirmations for this ally:I return refreshed to a beginner’s heart.I honor both my tender heart and my big dreams.Practice:Make a gentle cup of chamomile (or another supportive herb if chamomile isn’t right for your body).As you sip, ask: What does my tender heart need today? Fold your hands across your heart and repeat the affirmations, letting them sink into you. Bewitched… Greet the day and all it holds. Root yourself on the earth, steady and supported. Open your arms to the sky,gathering inspiration and vitality. Fold your hands over your heart and let restoration sink into you. Feel a fresh wave of appreciation for all the blessings of your life. Let it bewitch you with all the magic it contains. Sending love to all of you. Keep living your magic, Molly, Mark, + Family This is a public episode.
