Restoring Light

This beautiful moth and the single leaf seemed suspended in time on the side of my house. I could have passed them by, but I would have missed the magic that they held. This is a male Imperial Moth, and he only lives 2-3 days. His sole purpose is to find a mate and breed. He emerges from his cocoon after midnight and mates the next evening. He doesn’t eat any food, as he does not have a mouth or a digestive system. Like butterflies, moths are creatures of transformation. The

I was visiting the charming town of Hendersonville, North Carolina, the leaves had just started to drop from the trees hinting that the fall season had begun. As I paused for a moment to decide which storefront to explore the wind picked up and a single leaf which caught my eye as it was lifted off the sidewalk. It was one of those surreal moments when everything around you is silenced and you are alone with only your thoughts and the awareness of Spirit. I watched as the win

As we move into the Fall season you may notice yourself feeling a bit off balance. The shifting weather, the cooler temperatures, and the changing leaves, urge us to shift our focus to the subtle shifts of energy which may be occurring in our lives. The fall energy encourages us to let go of old patterns and energy which no longer serves us, and to turn inward to spend more time reflecting on our life path.

Every journey in our life starts with a dream or a vision. We see it in our mind’s eye until it stands with clarity before us. And if we find that we are still drawn to it, we drop that vision into our heart to nourish and embrace it and allow it to grow. This ignites passion within our heart and gives us the motivation to bring our vision into the physical world.

My husband and I walked along a tree lined path in the forest, a creek flowed alongside us gently singing songs as we walked along. We passed a place where I sensed the energy was different, it felt magical to me. “I think fairies live here” I said. My husband looked at me with an amused look on his face. Perhaps he could not feel the energy which caused me to make such a statement. “Fairies”, I said, “might not be literal invisible beings which live in the forest, it's just

The Fall weather has arrived, I am sure you can feel the changes as your bodies adjust to and prepare for cooler weather. Physically, one of the responses the body has to the sudden drop in temperature at night is an increase in appetite and a tickle or drainage in your throat. These symptoms occur as your hypothalamus gland adjusts to the sudden change of temperature. Mentally and emotionally we also find ourselves turning inward, we find ourselves a little more serious and
