Nourish Me

I nourish my body with food.
I nourish my soul with life.

You Are A Goddess

A message from the angels…

We are here to guide you always. We want you to know that we love each of you who read this. We want you to know that the good news is that there is always tomorrow and the good things are better than you give them credit for and the difficult things are not as significant. Anything that you criticize yourself for is a drop-not significant. You are already deserving of love – every minute of love. You are a goddess-we worship you for it and love you and want you to spread .

Metaphysics At Unity

I started the Metaphysics 1 class at Atlanta Unity church. I really like it. It never occured to me that one could be metaphysical and Christian. I am still not totally sold on the Christian part but the neat thing about Unity is that all they ask is that you suspend your disbelief and not that you have to bite hook line and sinker! One of the things that I really like about the people is that they seem happy and well adjusted overall. I find that metaphysical people of the new age type are not. Or else they are not grounded. Or in denial. Maybe I just haven’t found the right new age community yet.

Anyway-last week we learned about the difference between Absolute reality and Relative reality. Basically-Absolute is things that never change like God(dess)’s love, divine beauty, love and other neat things like that. Relative reality is anything that changes such as our bodies, thoughts, feelings, jobs, bills, health, and more. To achieve happiness we need to switch back and forth between Absolute and Relative reality. It’s helped me because I do sometimes feel, when I am suffering that God/dess is punishing me. This week I focused on presencing myself to Absolute reality and realizing that it is separate from the relative.

I just love having a place to study and discuss spritual matters with people who are in the same type of exploration. Although our beliefs are not exactly the same-they overlap a lot. It’s also helped me to begin to get to know some of the people that attend the church.

So this Goddess is still figuring lots of things out but loving having such a wonderful place to explore!

A Goddess Grapples with God

Today I attended the Atlanta Unity Church. The underlying message of unity is one I agree with but I really struggled hearing the word GOD and Christ. I have really negative associations with these words/concepts and am praying to release them.

I do not now where this comes from exactly-my relationship and opinion of men in general is better than that with women. I have a great relationship with my father, husband, and son but not with my mother. Yet I stubbornly refuse to be at peace with God/Christ but am with Goddess.

So I want to let go of my fear of a divine man, of being part of the “crowd” because it is interfering with my life. I am sure that I do not know all the ways, one is that I want to enjoy the Unity Church and it will be easier if I can make peace with the concept of a Christ consciousness and the word God.

The New Year

I awoke this morning to a feeling of peace. I am going to do my own burning bowl ceremony today-light a fire and cast my things to release into it. I am not going to focus on food/eating/weight but on my inner life, my movement and my joy. I started off this year “connecting” with my husband-I can’t think of a better way to begin a new year. Time is a flow, not a series of starts and stops but today I acknowledge a shift in the flow.

-Blessed be.

Self Pleasure Is A Turn On

Just read Cosmo at the hair dresser-and saw a study about what men like. A majority (over 35%) like to watch women self pleasure. The percentage actually goes up as they age. In the world of Cosmo-aging is past 30.

Anyway-Goddesses -We now have proof! Our enjoyment is a turn on!

It’s time to learn some lessons

I’ve been having a big fat pitty party for myself for about 5 months. Something bad happened to me. I gained weight. I felt really sorry for myself and depressed. And then…

-My husband and I got closer

-I re-learned that my identity is the not same as my weight and my true friends  love me no matter what

-I re-learned that I am a goddess no matter what

-I started therapy again and am grappling with some issues that have plagued me for years. They did not magically go away just because some fat went away.

-I am coming to grips with the fact that there is no “right” way to live life-some ways are preferable but we just do what we can

-I am getting the help that I needed in a way that I did not know I could get

-I have amazing people in my life who can really contribute to me if I let them

-I want to be happy-joyful and at peace-not miserable-even when I’m tired

-I am still here and at the end of the day-i think that’s a good (preferable) thing

So I am dusting myself off-rolling up my sleeves and getting to work!

An new beginning or continuance

Today I invited a bunch of my goddess friends to subscribe to my blog. I invite those that I know in person and those who are sisters online! The more that we can empower each other the better!
