Goddess Time

Continuing on with the "fun goddess" theme, I've come up with the manifestation of "Goddess Time" - a heart-shaped watch with the frolicking goddess (famous for her appearance on the cover of The Goddess Guide to Chakra Vitality by Anita Ryan-Revel).

Now you have the perfect reminder that every moment is "Goddess Time". There are no numbers on the face so that you don't get bogged down by "regular time". Every time you check what time it is, you can say to yourself, "who cares? It's goddess time!" Check it out.

Aussie Goddess: Leonie Allan

This gorgeous "custom soul art" was created for me* by this month's Aussie Goddess, Leonie Allan.

Leonie is an awesome artist, photographer, circle caster and GODDESS. Enjoy her insights on how she incorporates Spirit into the every day in order to reconnect with her inner goddess.


* Disclosure: I commissioned this piece. Like 100% of posts on this blog, this is not a sponsored post. I am introducing Leonie to you because she is truly a magical, inspirational, sparkling, joyous Aussie Goddess, and I know you will love her as much as I do :-)

Goddess Bless America

Oooooooh I had some fun this week coming up with a "Goddess Bless America" theme... a nice little play on the "God Bless America" catch-cry, and one that's popular with goddess gals with a sense of humour. Now this catchy little image is on t-shirts, mousepads, teddy-bears, aprons and even a throw pillow. Who'd have thought I could do all that in one evening? Goes to show, when she wants it to happen, she makes it happen in Goddess Time.

Somehow "Goddess Bless Australia" doesn't have the same ring to it, but you never know what will happen next. Stay tuned... ;-)

Pay It Forward Day 2008

There is tremendous power and positive energy in giving - indeed as there is in receiving.

In the past it was easier for me to receive only once I'd reached a "bank balance" of giving. I wouldn't ask a friend for help with babysitting unless I'd done something to earn "credit points" with that friend, for example. Or I wouldn't say "I need a break" to the boss unless I'd billed more than my target sales, as another example. In the meantime I compromised my health and my relationships simply because I felt too unworthy to ask for what I needed (and often deserved!)

But now, I am able to ask and receive exactly what is in my highest interest to receive. And I give, not to earn credit points, but simply because it is a joyous and gratifying thing to do.

So whether you're like the "Old Me" who is unable to ask for help until you've offered it first, or like the "Now Me" who can ask and offer help with equal measure, consider joining in the fun and altruism of PAY IT FORWARD DAY on 4 April 2008.

Hundreds of people from around the world (including me) have already become Champions of PIFD... on 4 April we'll be doing our darnedest to pass on random acts of kindness in order to help someone else.

You don't have to spend a lot of money to pay a kind act forward. In fact, if you're creative you don't need to spend any money at all! Some simple ideas of what you can do include * Paying the toll for the car behind you * Giving up your seat on a bus or a train for someone else * Giving flowers to a sick person in hospital * Giving your frequent flyer miles to a homesick family

Introducing my little star

Three weeks early and weighing 6lb 7oz, my little shining star was born on Friday 22/2 in Perth. We didn't have a name picked out for our little "Bebe", but after 24 hours of getting to know her we were guided to name her Phoebe Ostara.

The name Phoebe means "bright, radiant; the shining one". Ostara is the goddess of the dawn (her name translates to East), and represents new beginnings and divine balance. I look forward to seeing how the energy of her name transpires to bring her joy and success as she grows up :-)

I was supported by friends around the world who were lighting candles and saying prayers for the safe delivery of Phoebe and the wellbeing for both of us. Knowing that these intentions were being offered on my behalf was an incredible source of comfort and strength for me. Thank you. Having been surrounded by boys all my life, it's a joy beyond measure to have this precious little girl enter my life.

As for Blaze, our big boofy blonde wonder dog, well, let's just say he doesn't have a clue what's going on -- he's just wondering what this little lump is, and why the heck it's taking ALL the attention of everyone in the household...

Thank you everyone for your emails, text messages, smoke signals & phone calls. How lucky can one girl get?

Goddess Birth Signs - What's Yours?

Pre-dating Astrology are the ancient gods and goddesses of all time. Each culture had its own divine being or pantheon of deities, yet they all transcended earthly borders and time with common attributes: security, creation, power, benevolence, judiciousness, wisdom and divinity.

And, each deity's energy was more evident at certain times of the year, season or moon cycle than at other times. But just like astrology, goddess energy defines who we are and what our life purpose may be.

Goddess Blog Chain

I'm actively gathering funsters for another Goddess Blog Chain...

A blog chain involves a dozen-or-so active bloggers who want to participate in a fun group activity (and learn something about other spaces / ideas / creative expression while they're at it.) A GODDESS Blog Chain is a bit more targeted in that the chain will only involve blogs that focus on women's wellbeing and spirituality.

i Goddess

When goddess speaks I tend to listen ;-) And wow, did She speak to me this Monday morning!

As I was doing my morning rites, I spontaneously began with "I, goddess..." I didn't know what I was going to say next, or why I even started with those words. But I trusted that if I stepped into the flow, She would speak. And so She did...

This meditation video is the subsequent poem that was gifted to me. I hope you enjoy...

How To Marry Yourself

When my single girlfriends wail that "there are no good men out there," I suggest that before they think about serious relationships and marriage, they first marry themselves in order to find true love.
