Goddess Haven eCourse: Week 1

Posted by Nienna on Jun 13, 2013 in Goddess Life | 7 comments

So, I’m in the middle of week 1 in Leonie Dawson’s lovely Goddess Haven eCourse (affiliate link), and I thought it would be nice to share with you how it goes!

This week has been all about preparations and dreaming up my lovely Goddess home. I just moved here, so I’m still fairly happy about the way things are – albeit a bit chaotic underneath the surface. But at the same time, this is the first time I’ve lived alone (except for my daughter) in 8 years. This could really, really be my very own Goddess Haven, and I’m grabbing the opportunity with both hands!

DIY Lotion Bars Recipe

This winter and this stress and this total lack of diet intelligence has taken a toll on my skin. Potato chips and coke really don’t do much for your complexion! And it’s bad enough that I have psoriasis already, but the skin on my calves are looking like eroded earth and I think I’m gonna make a cloud of dust if someone breathes on me.

So the day before yesterday I went into the Chaos That Is My Bathroom Drawer (keep in mind, I just managed to throw everything out of sight after I moved here, to study for my finals instead) and pulled out a body lotion I haven’t used. I quickly remembered why – it was a Christmas present from someone who really don’t know me that well, it really didn’t smell good, and it left a film on my skin instead of penetrating it.

Breakdown, Regression and a New Insight

So, I listened to Rose Cole’s newest High Priestess call today, a replay which is only a few days old (I never seem to get to listen to those things live). I highly recommend all of her High Priestess calls, by the way, they are so insanely thought provoking and inspirational. I have them all on my cell phone, so every once in a while I go through them. Perfect for long walks in the woods, I reckon.

This time, what caught my attention, was two things.

I Am Home!

My head is still spinning.

The stress levels are still so high that my mouth tastes like blood, and my ears are ringing.

My body is aching all over.

I’m too tired to sleep, many nights.

But I did it.

I finally have a place to live.

I have a home.

Why I Love My Mooncup

I think this video pretty much sums it up.

I especially like the line about “You’re gross and weird and no one understands you!”. Makes me giggle every time.

But seriously, though.

It’s been 6 years or so since I got my Mooncup, and I’m never going back to tampons or disposable pads again.

Why It’s OK Not to Take Center Stage

Posted by Nienna on Feb 17, 2013 in Goddess Life | 12 comments

This is something that I’ve pondered and played with in my head these lasts months, when in hibernation. Everywhere around me, in blog posts, in forums, in podcasts and in books… the call is going out to women everywhere. Claim your worth. Take on the world and change it. Take center stage!!

And that’s fine.

If you want to be there.

Life Changes = Blog Changes

The last few days, I’ve been making some decisions.

After weeks and weeks in a fog of what seemed like an eternal suspense, things have finally started to become more clear to me. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, or at least the few posts I’ve managed to publish since Samhain, you know that my life is changing big time, and that kinda makes me reevaluate, take stock and question everything about where I am, where I was, and where I’m going.
