When you just can’t make something up and have it be more incredible than it actually was, that’s when you call it magic. I’m going to share a magical encounter I had in the area of Egypt known as Sakkara while I was there with our tour group in September, 2022. This is a special site we often visit with our groups because here you can see many pieces of Egypt’s ancient history. The first pyramid ever built is here, which is the Step Pyramid of Pharaoh Djoser of the 3rd Dynasty. It’s a structure that has been standing in the shadow of Cairo for over 4,700 years. In front of this pyramid is the Heb Sed Court where the pharaohs would….

I hadn’t planned to take a personal quest during my last trip to Egypt but when I found out that someone I admired greatly had been sick and unable to return to Egypt, I wanted to do what I could across the miles to lift his spirits. On the day I was out capturing one of the places he wanted to visit to send him images and video, I felt his spirit strongly. Three days later while sailing on the Nile I received a call from a friend that he had passed away.
Dr. Ramadan Hussein was someone I had only met….
Read MoreWhile attending a retreat one year, I attended a presentation in which the speaker said something quite profound about traveling. She said, “It’s not a quest unless you come home.” Having recently returned from a trip to Egypt, I was feeling the scope of these words as I went through the motions of getting back into my life as if nothing had changed…..because it felt like everything had changed.
Before I left for the trip, I had to let go and surrender to all the things I wouldn’t be able to be a part of here in my life while I was gone. I had to go through a tiny sort of death which was interesting because the woman I was traveling with was having the same kinds of thoughts as she prepared for the trip. Perhaps that’s another story for another day but when we….
Read MoreI was packing for Egypt and trying to tie up all the loose ends when I had a realization. It might have been partially based on some of my recent life experiences and current status in life, but nonetheless, it was profound and changed the way I think about traveling.
Remember in Alice in Wonderland when Alice asks, "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" Well, my question sort of came out with the ….
Read More“Soon…”
The Universe packed a punch that left me spinning, numb, and sinking into the honoring of everything I was feeling because there was nothing left to do. My granddaughter was due to be born “soon” and I was busy trying to get all my work done before then so I could keep my calendar open to help my daughter. I had plans to go to the State Fair with one of my best friends, who I hadn’t seen much all summer due to her family and travel schedule. We talked a lot, though, and shared….
Read MoreI’ve written about my experiences with synchronicity and magic before and at the risk of sounding like I’m on repeat, I’d love to share a little more of the magic that happened recently with the recording of the meditation offered in Patreon….because #magichappens
The Music
Each month in the offerings of Patreon there is a meditation to connect you with the neteru we’re focusing on that month. I map out their notes, sit with them and play the music on my harp. The recording is then
Read MoreThere's something profound that happens in the midst of the simple things because there's that split second when you remember. You remember your joy, you remember your essence, you remember your purpose and your destiny and everything makes sense. Sometimes these moments last for only that split second and sometimes they linger like the scent of smoke rising from a fire surrounded by stones under a night sky. The past few weeks, I’ve really been exploring this and feeling into it and I’ve got some resources for you to use to find your joy, if you’ve lost it somewhere along the way.
2020 was a tough old bird, I’ll give her that! Not only did I experience
Read MoreThe magic of synchronicity is in the unexpected nature of it. It comes when you least expect it, sometimes right when you need it the most, and always as a way to support or lead you in a particular direction.
In this blog, I'll share with you some blessings I've experienced that have come in the form of thoughts (that often sound like my own but feel different), observation, and things placed in my awareness that gave me a sense of confidence in those thoughts that happened at the beginning. I'll also share with you some tips on how to begin to notice these synchronicities in your own life as well as how to know the difference between “coincidences” and divine guidance/synchronicities that have meaning.
Read MoreLife is funny sometimes. We can know something so deep inside our souls and yet struggle with the reality of the way it is and always want to go back. That would be me and my farm and family.
When you’re young you have all of these ideas about your life and what it’s going to look like when you’re “old”. You raise your family, enjoy your home and making it look like all your dreams, you watch the sunrise and sunset over this place you call home for portion of a lifetime….and then it…
Read MoreI did everything right. All year. I wore a mask, hardly ventured out into public places, rarely ate at a restaurant, and had nearly zero photography shoots. I did, however, do some second-shooting at weddings to make money for things like, you know, rent and groceries.
The last wedding of the year got me and I was sick a mere 4 days later in bed with Covid. I was now a part of the statistics that would be tomorrow's history. And this thing was…
Read MoreI’m going to tell you the story of the Wandering Goddess but first, I have to give you a little background to my story so you’ll see how I’m tying it all together. It’s how I like to tell stories, kind of like those old Family Circus comics I’d read on Sunday afternoons when I was growing up….you know, the ones where the little boy wandered all over the neighborhood to get to home from school. Like that!
You may or may not know that I’m also a…
Read MoreI’d love to introduce you to Dr Sonya Broadnax for this month’s blog! She describes her Self as a life-long student and disciplined practitioner of spiritual wisdom (a woman after my own heart!) She has a deep reverence for the universal importance of connection with physical and non-physical beings, and most importantly connection with our higher selves and Source. Dr. Sonya believes there is nothing we can’t do if we are plugged into the wisdom that lies within us and that binds us with All that is.
In her blog below, get a glimpse into her work with children who are identified as “at risk”, why it’s important to know what to look for, and how YOU can help intuitive and empathic children in your life….your kids, your grandkids, the kids in your classroom, etc. Together, we’ll be combining all of her insightful tips with the magic of the Egyptian Mysteries and stories of Isis in a special LIVE! online workshop October 22 to help you see with more clarity what may be happening with the children in your world. We’ll offer simple yet powerful ways to better support and guide them through unsettled times….and we could all use that right now, especially our children!
Read More“What a strange title,” you may be thinking. Titles are a fun and challenging part of blogging but this title is actually a blending of what happened in both my waking life and my dreaming state. I want to show you how dreams can work for you in your life to validate and bring clarity.

Read MoreThis blog is a little BTS to share what I’ve been experiencing through the COVID-19 upheaval. It’s how I’ve been affected and how I’ve coped. There’s been a lot to juggle and navigate and while I’m a very private person, my blog is here with the intention that by sharing with you with scenes from my life, you might find inspiration for your own.
In the beginning….then it all changed
I’ve been living through a pandemic. A world-wide pandemic which means that you have been living through a pandemic with me. It’s been a ride, hasn’t it? When 2020 was new and
Read MoreAs I write this edition of the Goddess Diaries, it’s an absolutely GORGEOUS and perfect day outside my windows. The sunshine is warm and there’s a breeze that makes the trees rustle and move the shadows across the floor. In a few days sands from Egypt will be coming into my area of the world brought from the deserts of Egypt on trade winds to add to the ambiance of the atmosphere. My creative mind is spinning and there’s so much to rein in to be able to get my thoughts out to you about all that’s been happening in my world….your world…our world.
This might be a long one that will be worth your time to grab something…
Read MoreThe Goddess Hathor and I go back quite a few years and while I know she's always there, it's a special treat when she really makes her presence known. Not only did she make her Self known, this time she came bearing gifts. My journey into the mysteries of Egypt began with the goddess Hathor and she’s leading me deeper into its blessings….and you, too!
My newest gift from Hathor started when I….
Read MoreI’m not sure how I found out about it exactly but there’s a Temple of Isis carved into the side of a mountain in a remote part of Egypt and of course, I just had to get there. I had to get there because …. Isis. As Her Priestess, I’m so very drawn to her ancient sites and practices. I had to get there because … not many people visit it in the middle of the desert and mountains. I had to get there because …
Read MoreLike a lot of little girls, I was absolutely horse crazy and the little girl in me that loves horses is still alive and well even though I can’t live in the place I get to see them out my window. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to still take care of them more so now than when I first left my farm and marriage. Every time I’m there I heal a little more because of them.
When I was a little girl obsessively watching….

That’s how all the best stories begin. In those four little words there is so much potential and my trip to the Red Sea held all of that potential and somehow, while sitting along its shores under the bright blue sky listening to the wind and the waves, I bottled it all up inside my heart and soul and brought it home with me.
So….
Once upon a time, there was a wildness in the air that echoed through the canyons of my soul and I felt caged.
I knew winter was coming. I knew it had been….
