I always knew there was a piece of work that wanted to be shown to me, something about my own life that was being woven together, without me barely realizing it. I thought it was about me trying to empower myself and yet ultimately I just had to live my life and allow the weaving of it to create the tapestry of that offering, trusting that the guidance was there and that the work I was here to offer would make itself known in time.

The more I got out of the way, the more I could see what was really happening, and when spirit directed those moments, where I could do nothing but step forward, then those steps just had to be taken.

           There was the history, there was the tapestry, there was the offering. 

And my job was to trust in the guidance offered, to hold a sense of my own serenity and grace, even when my body and heart cried out to be ‘the one who would make it all happen!’  This was not the way. Patience is a game of the soul, we cannot be what we are not ready to be, we cannot offer from a place that we havn’t fully lived and we cannot force the direction of spirit. These things I had to learn and accept over the many years of offering what I do. And if I am asked to share more then so be it, but my offering does not make me who I am, and I am no less a person if what I offer is not received, the experience is what matters and the joy of sharing is the magic it brings.

If you are curious about the ‘Middle Earth Medicine Wheel’ there are two opportunities this year to find out more and to embrace the process of being spirit-led through the awakening story of your soul.

Every purpose or new beginning starts with Spirit and Pre-birth with its Dreaming and then follows the wheel to the Innocent stage where the Imagination begins to vision in what is possible to create.  From Innocent to Rebel, where we need to let go of old structures and immerse ourselves in the Untamed Forest to release ourselves and explore the true nature of who we are, leading us to become an Apprentice to our own work what ever that might be, whether it is a particular project, body of work, even relationship, being helped and guided by our own repetitive patterns, by spirit allies and guardians.
The wheel continues to be our guide, through Adulthood to the Thespian and Artisan, creating and acting from that place of creativity, Parenting those qualities into being. Knowing and Maturing our purpose, becoming the King or Queen, the Sovereign of our own Magestic Garden, stepping into the responsibility needed for the task set out to us and those we must serve, accepting the humor of our own Fool, that we might not take ourselves quite so seriously and we might relinquish our ego, trusting in the void aspiring to be the elder of our own making, finally standing, Staff in hand with our own Wise Elder. Surrendered to the acceptance of who we are, knowing ourselves, and honoring our ego as the hands of the soul. We step into each of these gateways, gather the tools, resourcing ourselves, accepting and surrendering to who we are and where our soul must dwell at this time.
