Hello, my friend.

And welcome to May! Oh, lush, green, life-giving May. Everything about this month just makes me feel wild and grounded and alive. It is as if something has opened up and set me free.

Turns out, people have been feeling this way about the beginning of May for many, many years. There are so many traditions, so much folklore, and all kinds of celebrations connected to the shifting of the seasons and the welcoming of the bright half of the year.

Join me in this month's podcast as we explore some of these Beltane celebrations, welcome May, and cross over into the beginning of summer energy.

___________________________________________________________

A few questions as we cross into the season of light and life. Steal away a few moments, preferably outside around this Beltane festival day, and ponder how you are being called to grow: 

What is bringing you great joy right now?

Where do you currently find inspiration? What do you feel inspired to devote your energy to right now?

What parts of yourself do you feel most confident about? Where do you need a confidence boost?

What intentions are you planting for the summer months?

What do you hope to grow in your life?

What do you want to harvest come autumn?

Blessed Beltane, sweet soul.

liz. xoxo.

Hello, love. And happy April!

Welcome to the month of buds and blooms. It is a very earthy, dreamy, soft month. It’s the month of butterflies and baby birds. And of paper-thin, pastel pink cherry blossoms. This month invites us to drop into the fleeting and fragile energy of life - and to committing to a month of soaking it all in, moment by moment. April is here to inspire us to open up, to remember that hope always remains, and that there is beauty to be found in every little thing. April is here to remind us to live.

Hello, you. And welcome to magical gateway of March. This most powerful, transitional month of change, balance, awakenings, and rebirth is here. A wild, chaotic month weather-wise, but one that many of us have longed for since the last of the autumn leaves fell to the ground.

Join me in this podcast as I share the three phases of March that I believe guide us as we awake from our hibernation, and ready ourselves to rise and grow and blossom in this new year. After the long, dark winter, we have come to the soft, gentle, bright season of awakening and rebirth. Something new is waiting to begin.
