The Words That Kept Finding Me: Community, Grace, and Permission
The Goddess Diaries, July 19, 2026
Do you sometimes have words that find you when you’re open to answers? I’ve had three seemingly simple yet profoundly powerful words visit me:
Community
Grace
Permission Slip
A recent IG post reflected my thoughts as a way to keep reminding my Self of the power of these words to help me define my heart’s desire and direction.
“I poured my heart into it! I could be creating more online courses or more readings to offer because I truly love creating, but as I lean into the wisdom of my soul and connection to the Goddess, I feel the encouragement to sit within the circle of communities that I’ve created already.”
The Goddess has a beautiful way of repeating herself. She doesn't always arrive with a grand announcement or a booming voice. Sometimes she places the same message in your path again and again until you slow down enough to notice. I recently did a powerful ritual focusing on the areas I want to grow this summer season and that’s when the words….and the vision…became so strong.
Community, the circles I've created, the women who’ve gathered, the spaces where we share, learn, remember, and grow together. My heart has felt such a deep pull toward nurturing these communities because they are alive! They have their own energy, their own stories, and their own beautiful unfolding.
Of course, my creative mind still dances with ideas. I have so many teachings I want to share. I want to create courses about the Divine Feminine, the Egyptian Mysteries, and the ancient wisdom from ancient texts and temple walls that offers us meaning, purpose, and connection in our modern lives.
Creating is part of who I am and there is so much joy in bringing ideas from the unseen into the world. For me, creation has always been about sharing wisdom and creating spaces where women can reconnect with their own inner knowing.
Realizing all of this felt like grace, like receiving a personal permission slip - a permission slip to trust what my soul’s been showing me, a permission slip to pour my energy into the places where connection is already blooming, a permission slip to honor the work that happens inside a circle of women who are walking this path together.
With so many messages around us about what success should look like, it can become easy to lose our own rhythm. The online world is filled with strategies, formulas, launches, and promises that the next idea will finally be the one that changes everything. After a while, I noticed how much I missed the simple beauty that used to fill my feed of beautiful landscapes, adorable baby elephants singing with a guitarist, and little donkeys running to say hello. All of those seemingly silly things are reminders that life is happening all around us beyond the endless search for the next successful course launch or ‘likes’ on our IG posts.
I missed the feeling of being inspired and the feeling of being connected so when I returned to my three words, everything softened. My “Communities” reminded me of the power of gathering. “Grace” reminded me to honor my own rhythm and even take a nap on a Saturday afternoon. “Permission Slip” reminded me that I’m allowed to choose what feels meaningful and nourishing.
So today, I want to pass that permission slip along to you and invite you to give yourself the grace you need and create space for what brings your heart joy. What would happen if you listened for the places where your energy feels expanded, where your intuition feels clearer, and where you feel more connected to yourself?
My communities have become sacred circles where we explore intuition, joy, spiritual growth, and the beautiful mysteries that remind us who we are. They are places where we gather together, learn together, celebrate together, and remember the magic that already lives within us.
If your heart has been longing for a space like this, I would love to welcome you into one of these circles. Each community has its own energy and its own way of supporting your journey, but they all share the same intention: creating a place where you can explore, remember, learn, and grow.
Hathor’s Joy: An Oracle Circle - A sacred community for women to gently return to themselves — reclaiming joy, intuition, and the Divine Feminine wisdom hidden in the Egyptian Mysteries
Priestess Studies in the Iseum - An online temple space for women who feel called by Isis or Hathor to serve as her Priestess. Structured study and monthly Gatherings to celebrate the rituals of the Ancient Egyptian calendar
The Egyptian Mystery School - An online library of resources for both men and women who want to learn more about Ancient Egyptian history and mystery. Filled with audio lessons, video presentations, PDF’s, rituals, explorations of ancient texts, and more!
Your timing is divine.
You haven't missed a thing.
I look forward to welcoming you into the circle that feels right for you.
