Origins of this project can be read here. This is what a blossom looks like. Confession: In the past, I’ve held myself together when I went to therapy. I’m going to start again and will try less holding. I’m terrified that I will combust if I do this. Oracle: I realized that I didn’t need […]

Thanks to this site for the amazing photo. Origins of this project can be read here. Confession: At the beginning of Day 11, as I was falling asleep (my days go from 10:30pm-10:30pm because I like to write at night and start my days with rest), I had a realization of something someone else needs […]

Oracle: Read that there’s a great Mercury retrograde […]

Luminosity exists at its height when aligned with its shadow. Confession: When I feel as bright and balanced as I do right now, there’s a nudge in the back of my mind (heart?) that is full of shadow. I’m okay with being unable to escape this shadow – but I do wish to understand it […]

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin Confession: It’s very hard for me to trust men. Oracle: The Downton Abbey bug has bit me. I resisted for some time and finally succumbed and am watching Season 1 […]

Lilith, by Susan Seddon Boulet In accepting my darkness, I give my light room to shine. Confession: When I’m feeling dark, it’s close to impossible for me to recognize my light (see previous posts for evidence).

[Thank you http://sylphielmetallium.deviantart.com/ for this amazing image.] Being in the flow means being tossed around a bit. Confession: I often choose to ignore the good advice for which I hunt desperately. Oracle: AMMA “In true love, there is not duality. There is no fear. I see everyone as a part and parcel of myself. Suppose […]
