Finding treasure in the darkest of places…
Dear One,
It is in depths of caves, in the bottoms of oceans or far beneath the soil that we find the greatest treasure.
If you find yourself facing circumstances that feel like an insurmountable obstacle, like everywhere you turn there are more questions than answers; if you can’t see the end of the darkness and have no idea how or when you will come upon light…know that you are exactly where you need to be to find your greatest treasure.
The only invitation in these moments is to allow yourself to feel it all, to feel yourself held as you hold the part of yourself that is terrified of the dark. It is in your surrender that you discover the wellspring within you, that you discover the power that you have long sought. It is in these unknown spaces in which you have diverged from the usual path, when you feel lost and alone that you open yourself for a new thought.
You might even get curious, “Why would I create this for myself? What gift is now being revealed to me?”
When you understand that all is unfolding for you, and that you always have the power to create good, you make room within you to find the treasure in the darkest of places.
If you feel stuck and in despair…you are right where you need to be. Feel it all and then, know: things are about to get better than you can even imagine.
Taking deep breaths and feeling it all with you.
❤🙏🏼
How are you feeling following Thursday’s Eclipse?
How are you feeling following Thursday’s Solar Eclipse in Cancer? Hopping on for some more insight and support…
The playback from last night’s Solar Eclipse Sacred Circle…
Wow! What a transformative week it has been! Can you feel the shifts happening? The old falling away as you make room for the new in your life? What has gotten stirred up in you? What is now calling to be healed? Where are you now ready to grow?
I had so much fun leading the Solar Eclipse Sacred Circle on FB LIVE Thursday night, shedding wisdom on what we are collectively call to learn and discover with the initiation created by the Cancer eclipse–thank you to all those of you who joined in and brought your voice in the comments. It was a beautiful, vulnerable, magical experience that left my heart full and tears in my eyes. For those of you who didn’t get a chance tune in, you can watch the entire event by clicking the video below.
We now find ourselves in the Eclipse Portal–the powerful time leading up to our Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius on 7/27. For many this time can feel a bit “otherworldly,” like we’re floating a bit and not quite sure where we’re going to land. For others, you might have had a big breakthrough with this last eclipse and you’re now just laying back and witnessing the unfolding. For those who had more of a breakdown, you may find that you are needing to mourn and integrate as you open yourself for what’s next. I shared a bit about my own experience and held space as other’s shared theirs during the Sacred Circle–no matter what you’re experience, make sure you are getting plenty of rest and being extra gentle with yourself.
I love you so much!!!

The wisdom present in this Solar Eclipse in Cancer…
Dear One,
Tonight’s solar eclipse in Cancer is here to ground us in this truth: Our softness is our strength. Our compassion is our greatest treasure.
If you are like me and those close to me, you have already experienced great emotion moving through you this past week. Any emotions that have been shoved into the dark recesses of your being are coming forth for you to see them, love them, embrace them so that they can help you see that there is not a single aspect of your being that is unworthy of love. Shame has no place in your being, it’s time to speak the truth, feel it all and set yourself free.
As Pluto in Capricorn continues to churn up and breakdown all of the patriarchal structures and conditioning that no longer serves us, this super moon in Cancer is showing us another way…a path that glorifies our feeling nature as the gift that it is, that embraces pleasure for its own sake, celebrates the power of sacred connection, of intuition, and flowing to the rhythm of that life force beating your heart and guiding you in all ways.
This solar eclipse might have you feeling like you’ve been plunged into the deep while you’re just learning to swim…and never fear, Dear Heart. Your only job here and now is to meet yourself with utmost gentleness as you discover your inherent ability to navigate the waters of your emotion. Your feelings have always been guiding you home and now, it is time to listen.
There is an invitation here to mother the scared child within you, the one who doesn’t know it’s worthy of love; to see yourself through the unconditional eyes of a mother’s love for her child. There is an invitation to get so acquainted with your inner needs so that you know how to build the foundation for your own security. That security has never existed outside of you…it cannot be built or achieved as the patriarchy would have us think…it has always existed in your ability to listen to and care for yourself. It is from there that the generous gift that you are flows out to the world around you…and any outward accolade is simply a product of aligning with true abundance.
It is in embracing every aspect of yourself, shedding all layers of the outworn paradigm that has you thinking there’s something wrong with the parts that you cannot fit in a box, it is in seeing that all you have hidden away or tried to “improve” are the truths and gifts that we most need now on this planet. You’ve always had the key to abundance, the key to love, the key to success, the key to prosperity. It is in your ability to embrace every aspect of your being.
So I invite you to begin today with treating yourself with utmost gentleness and knowing that every human act is simply an attempt to meet needs…we are each doing the best that we can and deep down there is a part of each of us all longing to be met with love, compassion, understanding, to be seen as all that we are. Look with those eyes in the days ahead and revel in the beauty and perfection that you find.
I love you so much!!!
P.S. Join me tonight for a Facebook Live Solar Eclipse Sacred Circle at 8pm EST as I share deeper insight and hold space as you process all that you are discovering at this time. ❤🌔
