As above, so below, as within so without.  Hermes

My husband and I moved to Santa Fe, NM in 2024.  We lived in SW Colorado for 45 years. In Durango we worked, raised our son and developed friendships that are continuing to grow, even with our recent move.  In the early 90’s we helped create an intentional community.  We built our own earth-based home in this community and moved in-August, 2000.  We loved living and growing in community for 25 years and then we knew a change was needed. 

Living in community gives amble opportunities to experience expansion in every corner of one’s life. And leaving the community that you have given your life energy to after 30 years is a growth experience that I never believed I would experience and yet still another growth opportunity!

And here we are in a lovely new to us home in Eldorado NM just 8 miles south of Santa Fe.  One of the things we are experiencing here is new adventure.  After many years in one place I became complacent with the familiar.  It was ease and welcome.  I missed it for awhile but then realized that a new energy of exploration, curiosity and awe in the newness was giving a new joy and curiosity.  What a welcome gift as my elder years are upon me. 

I’m married to a man that I thoroughly enjoy.  In the beginning we didn’t always enjoy each other. Now after 50 years of sorting out the kinks we revel in being together hiking, traveling, loving our home, and exploring ways to enhance our health which includes active conscious loving.  

I’m a Mother and a Grandmother. How amazing our cycles of life!  Learning from my Parents and Grandparents and now being in the elder generation learning from the next generations. I marvel at the linage.

Being a strong supporter of women and the stages of life we move through has also been a passion of mine. When I began to find my own voice I knew I wanted to encourage young women to find theirs. Participating and often leading women’s groups has been core in my own growth.

A question that I have asked myself for about 30 years is how we combine Western based Astrology with the Night Sky? As life has proven true for me, ask the question long enough and the answer appears.  Steven Forrest, Bernadette Brady, Cayelin Castel and many others have helped me understand the relationship of the Night Sky and Western Astrology.  Greg Bradden and the Indigenous Grandmothers have helped me understand and revel in this human connection with what is larger than self.  My recent studies are helping me understand my relatedness to a larger “field” of energy.”  It is with us, surrounding us, holding us—always.  This is what the Indigenous peoples knew and many still know.  This is what I have longed for—the connection.  It is so available to us. Understanding my birth chart allows an understanding of how the microcosm of my life is one with the larger macrocosm.

What a marvelous Creation!
