Intuition as Initiation

As I sat at a kind of nerve-wrenching appointment bright and early this morning, I opened my trusty, coffee-stained copy of Women Who Run With the Wolves by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes. My eyes landed on this passage: "...having a lover and friends who look at you as a true living breathing entity, one that is human but made of very fine and moist magical things as well...a lover and friends who support the criatura in you...these are the people you are looking for. They will be the friends of your soul for life. Mindful choosing of friends and lovers, not to mention teachers, is critical to remaining conscious, remaining intuitive, remaining in charge of the fiery light that sees and knows." from Chapter 3 'Nosing Out the Facts: The Retrieval of Intuition as Initiation'.

And I am so happy to report that this was a reminder as I feel so loved and supported by so many far and near. Yes, all of you, I carry the light of so many, it helps to guide my way. Thank you...

Hahahahaha....

I love that my last post was in April as I was finishing my semester and starting to pack. I held the intention of blogging about our moving process. Well, we moved! The process continues and considering that I moved with five to six children as my helpers, it was quite smooth. The new place we call the "Poolhouse" because, yes, it has a pool! We have spent hours in that pool since moving and it is the single biggest reason why we have had such a great summer. Thank you cool and calming pool waters. I am eternally grateful.

It has been a beautiful amazing day already. Even though I just lost a long and way more in depth update of my life including an amazing Dr. E quote, I now must just accept that I needed to write it out and let it all go. I did not need a record becuase I made a silly mistake that lost my post before I published.

So it begins...again

I am resurrecting my blog for a couple of reasons. The main one is that my children and I are moving into a much smaller space and I want to have a record of the process. I am on the cusp of finishing my semester and then sifting through all of our stuff and letting go of not only loads of stuff, but the very house that has held it for the past six years. We are leaving the house where my children spent their early childhood years. This is NOT a blog about losing weight.
