I recently interviewed the Divine Ms. Brenda Nickolaus about her experience in my Awaken Your Divine Feminine Soul eCourse which I teach at the Wise Woman University ~ new classes start up every new moon.

What did you like best about the Awaken Your Divine Feminine Soul eCourse?
I have been working with the moon and thinking of doing the collages when I found Kathy's course. Kathy just gave me the right amount of encouragement to get started and to keep it up and to share the photos with the others. I loved the chat room and meeting everyone from around the world and sharing our ups and downs with the moon energy. This is a great way for me to take a class when time or distance is in the way of finding like-minded people! It was great learning and seeing that we are in the same cycles and moving through them with encouragement from each other!
What creative & intuitive goals have you made accomplished or progress on in relation to this course?
My biggest challenge has always been my inability to let go of my fear and doubt. I am naturally very shy but love being with people. I have high expectations for myself and any new creative moves I make and I do have fear of failure (which showed up in my journaling). So working with the moon’s energy for 3 months helped me work through some of these issues and release them with the full and waning moon. I did take some action steps toward my goals for teaching creative spiritual classes and it has happened! I now feel confident when I express myself to others about what I do at lunches and dinner meetings in the community. My goals as an artist are also more filled with inspiration and I am starting to work on my children’s books again. As a result of working with the moon phases it has helped me focus and coordinate my actions with the zodiac sign that the moon is in.
I've learned that it is okay to do (not just try), to make mistakes, to forgive myself, and to keep moving toward my goals with action steps that move me forward using the moon as guidance (love it). I've also learned that there is a time and place for everything and that there's no better way to make changes in your life than to move ahead one action step at a time. Once I realized this I was ready to start meeting my creative goals and things just started to fall into place for me.
What's your future vision for you Divine Feminine Moon Musing Self?
Since working with the moon on a more conscious level by doing the class assignments and the journaling I've been able to accomplish so many things in such a short period of time and I am making the changes in my life that I know I want and deserve. I'm also open for new challenges that I was never ready for before.
Because of all these new experiences, I feel more confident about who I am, about all my abilities, and about what I'm worth. I have to realize I am a work in progress as we all are.
What advice do you have for other Divine Feminine Soul Sisters?
Follow the moon and the natural time of the seasons of change and you too will find your path in the sun! It is a grand adventure and full of ups and downs. Being prepared is helpful so that when you are ready things will start happening for you too.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Working on my collages with the moon and sharing in the chat room with the other moon sisters has helped me open up more on a personal level. It's really allowed me to target a change in my life and it has also helped me understand what I want to create for my future.

Kathy Crabbe is a mentor at the Wise Woman University where she teaches the popular course, Awaken Your Divine Feminine Soul. “Celebrating the lunar cycles is an important part of building a spiritual framework. Each month we can tune into her cycles to keep ourselves on track. At the new moon we plant our intentions for the month ahead, at the full moon we watch them flower, and at the waning moon we release and share our wisdom with the world. As women we are naturally able to resonate with these cycles in deep and meaningful ways.”
