Midway through 2012

Today I put it out into the universe that I am a "metaphysical writer," so what better way to follow up than with some writing on the metaphysical?

We are midway through 2012 and things are changing very quickly.  Healing and awareness are, at times, a painful path, and it is with the support of a strong and loving community that I am willing and able to make it through.

My daughter turned two last week and in honor of her second year I organized a sacred blessing ritual with our "neighborhood shaman/witch."  :p  It doesn't feel as important not to name myself anymore; in fact, I am going to carry this blog through on faith and love instead of fear.  So, my daughter's name is Simone.  I am Sara.  Our local shaman shall remain unnamed... for now, anyway.

The blessing was a beautiful ritual that was not only about honoring Simone's Earth path, but about blessing and acknowledging my path as a mother, for strong and well-supported mothers raise healthy daughters.  We were enveloped in a lovely circle of some of the most important women in my life.  Their prayers for my path as a mother were powerful and received with an open heart. 

Love, love, love, love
Sisters, this is our calling
Love each other as ourselves
For we are one

Simone's guardian animal was revealed, and apparently she is born into the highest initiation point in the Ojibway tradition... which I will be learning more about within the next couple of days.

Rise, rise, little butterfly, rise
To the calling of your Spirit
Fly free, purposefully
And know you are held in Love

I continue to commit and re-commit to a path of discipline and dedication, ever trying to create stronger boundaries and a sense of self so that I may remain clear and high in consciousness.

Thank you for reading.
