<\/p>\nEarly this morning before dawn I found myself wide awake, I didn’t really want to get out of bed. I laid there\u00a0 beneath soft, warm flannel sheets willing myself to go back to sleep. Needless to say it didn’t work.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With great effort I managed to crawl out of bed and make my way to the kitchen to make a cup of tea. By the time I finished I could see traces of light slowly seeping over the hills. I stood quietly watching the play of light and shadow dancing across the roof tops ~ bare tree branches ~ light spilling over my fingers ~ mesmerized.<\/p>\n
Suddenly bird song filled the air and the deep rich scent of mother earth wafted up. In that one moment, I was finely attuned to every scent, movement, color and shape around me. Listening ~ listening\u00a0 to the sacred language of mother nature.<\/p>\n

Later, when returning to the kitchen for another cup of tea, I noticed that our prayer lily had bloomed. Such grace, the long slender stalk reaching towards the ceiling ever seeking the light. What a wonderful gift on this day of celebration ~ Happy Imbolc Everyone!\u00a0 So grateful that winter will soon give way to spring.<\/p>\n
“And that is just the point… how the world, moist and beautiful, calls to each of us to make a new and serious response. That’s the big question, the one the world throws at you every morning. “Here you are, alive. Would you like to make a comment?” \u201cEveryday Goddessing\u00a0 is about sharing magical techniques and sacred wisdom with other beautiful Goddess women. I believe that within every woman there is a goddess, a wise woman, beautiful, creative, powerful, with a deep soul, and that everything we need and are looking for is already inside\u00a0 each of us.\u201d \u2013 Rose Arizmendi<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Early this morning before dawn I found myself wide awake, I didn’t really want to get out of bed.
