The Circle Expands

It's Spring Equinox and I've done it; expanded the Creative Soul Circle to include all sorts of wonderful goodies for my Soul SiStars wanting MORE!!! More juicy content such as the brand new Moon Musing Playsheets created exclusively for Circle members, plus you can now partake in my Awaken Your Divine Feminine Soul eClass in the Circle (75. for a one month class) and receive your own personal moon chart which will help you resonate even more with Mama Moon each month.

I've got channeled Moon Musings written and dreamed by me every new moon chock-full of helpful and challenging actions, creative soul oracle guidance and affirmations to keep you on track and inspired.

Plus we've got Special Guest Q & A's beginning with astrologer Chad Woodward in April and then in May we've got Emily Trinkaus, two astrologers who have been regularly featured here on my site and much more.

If you've got a business or service you'd like to promote, then my Circle offers you a chance to be featured on my blog and in the Q & A discussion thread, so we can all get to you know you better.

And so you may ask, why am I offering all these goodies for such a reasonable price...well, it's just how things work out...I started out blogging in tune with mama moon, and after two years of offering you my moon musings, I've decided it's time to share them within a private group that can really dig into them deeply within a safe space.

My eClass just fit in so perfectly with all this, that I had to offer it too, because everything in the Circle is connected and builds upon everything else, so once you've had a small taste of moon musing, many of you wanted much more...more connection, more challenges, more quiet space without a lot of chatter or time wasting - we get right down to it every new moon.

So, there you have it and so the journey begins...and I hope you can join with me on March 19, 2011 for a Full Moon in Virgo Shared Focus Meditation so that we can come together as a virtual meditation group at the exact moment of the Full Moon to dream our dreams, and watch as our seeds of intention planted at the new moon start to flower and fruit PLUS let's not forget the Spring Equinox ...when the entire year truly begins anew...are you ready?

Equinox Musings

"The New Year is not January 1st! The new year is the Spring Equinox which occurs on March 20 (for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere) when the Sun enters 0 degrees Aries by geocentric astrology.

The Spring Equinox is the time to identify the intentions we wish to fulfill during the four seasons. Ideas correctly seeded at the Spring Equinox manifest for a year. During the Summer Solstice, the time has arrived to birth these ideas into recognizable form, like a forming fetus. The Fall Equinox is the time to flesh out, balance, and assess these creations and to weed things out that just are not working. Then the Winter Solstice is the time to enter into deep contemplation to imagine how our personal creations assist others and the planet." ~ Barbara Hand Clow

Being able to talk to like-minded women that I know won’t judge me.

I enjoy the sisterhood and celebrating the little and big breakthroughs with those on a similar path.

My favorite activity at the moment would have to be the shared focus meditations, especially New Moon and Crone.

4 Tips To Protect Your Strengths

This month in our Creative Soul Circle we are delving into the topic of how to protect our strengths (last month we looked at pin-pointing our strengths).

Questions to ask yourself

• What are my strengths?
• What are my weaknesses and how are they undermining me?

Protect Your Strengths ~ 4 Tips

1. Pinpoint your top three strengths and remind yourself what they are on a regular basis.
2. Write a Strength's List and carry it with you everywhere.
3. Keep a copy of your Strength's List on your computer and update it regularly.
4. Post your Strengths List in a prominent place in your home and work space.

To join the conversation, please sign up here for my Creative Soul Circle ~ it's free, for Soul SiStars only!

Prosperity Thinking: March Forth

Welcome to Prosperity Thinking, a brand new column written for my blog by Kate Walsh, financial planner. Kate is also a member of the Creative Soul Circle, my free social network  for women-only where you will find Kate's Money Magic thread which has already helped many women gain a better understand of their relationship with money.

While reading "my daily dose of sanity" by Alan Cohen I was intrigued by how he changed March 4th to "March Forth."  I loved the idea of marching forth from old limited ways of thinking. Marching forth from fear and doubt and marching forth from blame and guilt.  Can you imagine yourself marching forth leaving old habits behind and marching forth to becoming who you know you are?

Think about being a visionary marching forth seeking a solution to old problems. Discovering that the only purpose of a problem is to motivate us to find an answer that will lift us beyond the consciousness that created the problem.

So, let's march forth and do what is in front of us.  Let's do the inquiry of looking upward and onward, celebrating our strengths rather than analyzing our weaknesses.

Let's march forth in our quest for abundance knowing that abundance is a state-of-mind.  It is a relationship, and this relationship grows by marching forward with our quest for success, prosperity, abundance.  When we march forth and realize "what" our relationship with money is-we can move upward and onward to achieving our desires, dreams and wishes.

So the question for today as we march forth to a better understanding is: What is your relationship to money?

Today is the day to march forth to your prosperity.
