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 .
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!
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.
I’ll be going to this-I’ve been to previous sessions and they are fantastic! She is in the Atlanta metro area.
Honoring the Goddess In You
The goddess exists in all of us! Male and female. Young and old. This session is to help you learn how to honor those beautiful energies within yourself…and perhaps hear a word or two from some of them. Bring yourself. Be open. Be prepared to let loose of any negative self-image thoughts. Be prepared to be a radiant new YOU! Participate in the ritual of self-discovery…a spiritual spa for the spirit! Wear comfortable clothing and please do not consume a heavy meal just prior to coming to the class.

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!
It seems that the world is willing for my soul to die
A lot each day
As long as I’m nice
Along the way.

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!

Today I really struggled with getting my “work” done. I was sitting at my desk trying hard to concentrate on important tasks related to my business and I just wanted to do something for the goddess in me. I stopped working on my business and spent some time working on this blog. I spent a few hours trying to get the “subscribe” feature working the way I want and changing a few other thing.
I felt a lot better-so much better that I even did some housework (always a sign of either happiness or insanity). I sometimes think that the only way that I can honor Goddess is by doing ritual or creating something unique with my hands and sometimes I’m just not in the mood for that! I feel guilty that I want to wait for motivation-but that is the way I am-I want to wait for motivation.
So-I feel a lot better and more optimistic and everything that HAD to get done today did.
I didn’t kill anyone in my family (including myself) and I even closed a deal and learned some new skills.
So-maybe ritual can be just doing something that I LIKE doing-not always what i SHOULD be doing. If ritual becomes another SHOULD then what good is it?
BTW-As a side note-I will say that part of what I did was watch the season finale of True Blood-love that show!
How is it that I can feel so empowered one minute and so empty the next? I don’t know how to carry the feeling of divinity into my evenings. I sit at home and feel lonely. I don’t feel like creating art, I don’t feel like working. I don’t feel like reading or watching TV. I have to be careful if I do watch TV because if I watch anything depressing-it haunts me. My life is boring and unsatisfying yet I’m ok. My husband and I are happy – my son is healthy. Hubby’s job is going well as is my business. In this climate-it is wonderful. But… I don’t want to whine. I want to be empowered. I just feel everything but…
I want inspiration, motivation, excitement. I want to feel alive and joyful. I want to feel safe too. Can i have it all?
Can I stop thinking about myself for a moment or two? URGH!
This too is Goddessness-someday I will look back on this time and realize how much I learned-I want to enjoy it now though.
This is an interesting response to a horrifying problem…
Chandigarh, July 1: Goddesses, save women from Haryana police.
The force, struggling to wipe rape blots, has turned to goddesses to keep the men in uniform from preying on women.
Crash courses in religious studies, with an emphasis on goddesses, have been lined up to help the personnel “understand” women better. More
If teaching men about Goddess prevents rape-possibly teaching men and women all over the world will help us all to respect ourselves/each other more.
