The Flower-The Fruit-The Seed

I am reading, Seven Stages On A Woman’s Journey of SpritRemember Who You Are by Linda Carroll. I picked it up at The Dragon and The Phoenix last weekend. I am only on page 27 and have already enjoyed it thoroughly. Linda talks about the Celtic tradition of describing the woman’s life cycle as “the flower (girl), the fruit (the mother), and the seed (the elder).” This is the first I’ve heard of this.

I’ve always heard, maiden, mother crone. Sounds kinda depressing – I like flower, fruit and seed much better!

I have also been praying recently to be more impacted by and impressed with the written word. I’ve always had a disdain for books-even though I love reading-I felt that they could not seriously impact a life. I’ve seen people close to me read the most thoughtful, spiritual and growth oriented books and receive nothing from them but intellectual knowledge. This is important but not where true life changing power comes from.

I felt that if I am ever to feel good about writing my book/s I must be at peace with and excited about the whole medium! So I found this tidbit that I read so much more tantalizing!

There are multiple books that I have gotten tons from but that I’ve only begun and never finished. I think that I will design my book specifically with this in mind! Maybe I can write the whole think summed up in 20 pages and then elaborate for the rest. I want to give value-even to those who don’t finish the book!

Passion And Survival-The Balance

American Idol just makes me want to follow my dreams! I want to express my passions and be my best self! I write erotica, I write romance, I write personal growth and sometimes I just feel like my life is sucked away on the details.

However, even Bette Midler has to do dishes every now and again! So do singers, artists and writers-we all have to do dishes and laundry. So I must remember that most animals were given the life, by Goddess, of focusing entirely on survival and procreation and human were given the gift of being able to spend our surplus energy on expression and maybe it’s ok that I don’t always have a surplus-this does not make me any less passionate.

I love coaches-I love athletic coaches because they seem to really get to drive athletes to be their best. Other coaches do that too I guess. I love the movie Remember The Titans. I sometimes wish that we had Goddess Teams where we can strive to be our best and get coached towards it too. I know that lots of personal growth places do seminars like this but when life is going full speed it seems like there just isn’t enough time.

I don’t know where this is going but I do know that I love to see my fingers fly across the keyboard and I love to express my thoughts in writing. To me it is beautiful that nothing turns into something. Writing takes the ethereal and makes it real. I believe that may be my whole f*cking mission-to take the ethereal and make it real.

Goddess Bless
