I love this article, thanks for sharing all that is going on. I absolutely love the cards that you drew. They do feel really relevant to me as well. I needed to hear some of the things that they had to say. I’m feeling more calm today when I have been struggling with anxiety. I just got back from getting my Covid booster so I am drinking lots of water and setting the intention to not have any or very few side effects. I am pondering my future and my path in life. I am considering if I am holding onto things out of fear of change or the unknown. Lots of inner work going on right now.
It sounds like you have all of your plans made and everything is going smoothly. That’s awesome! Sending love!💗
“Be open to all magic” wonderful! Oh, you're exploring NM too, lovely. It's a beautiful state, the parts I’ve been to. I hope you’ll let us know what you feel and think of NM.
So much change happening. I'm pretty stationary at the moment due to a recent injury. I'm watching things unfold, it's kinda cool.
I can’t afford to allow myself to be upset or stressed or it goes into my body as pain. However, It seems a 34 yr long friendship is ending rather unexpectedly. Their things will be picked up from my house, which I was asked to get together and put outside LOLOL. Did you hear me say i have compression fracture In my last lumbar? I dont fully understand what happened, but I've been blamed for not being, Idk, totally cognitively with it.…..again, fracture and meds….im being tossed out because i am not perfect enough? Okay. At the same time I'm reconnecting with someone I know who has been an absolute love helping me out and being a friend. “…Just watching the wheels go round and round.” J Lennon
I swear a part of me has been waiting all day for this post just to feel this community and get to share. Pulling the faery cards feels perfect and is a great reminder to engage my deck as well (something I bought after my very first session with you in 2018). Where has the time gone?!
These energies have been sooo intense and interesting. I feel a deepening and solidifying of friendship with my ex and his wife which is still insane to me when I think of the cycles of life but it feels so good and right. Really enjoying having them in my life and the fact that it’s mutual, and it’s been really healing for past timelines of me that still had things to heal with him.
At the same time, I’ve started dating a new person who has ALL the green flags. We almost had sex for the first time last night and I felt all the old insecurities and helpless feelings and this part of me that always feels like a small child that has no idea what she’s doing around sex. I ended up saying no and it felt really right and scary. Definitely realizing how much I’ve blown past my own body’s capacity and needs and boundaries in probably every other sexual situation I’ve ever been in. Honoring the fears and giving myself space to feel my way through them (as I’ve been doing all day today) before moving forward has been so new and terrifying and is bringing a lot to the surface. Even feels like some old abduction trauma mixed in.
And lastly, my mom and I have been in a rocky place all weekend (after a few months of fairly smooth sailing). Not exactly sure what’s coming up there, but the realization this morning that I’m not obligated to love her (as extreme as that may sound) has been really freeing. Finding more people that support me in ways that feel really good and have high levels of emotional intelligence and ability to flow with each other’s authentic needs and boundaries and yesses/nos has been amazing and also illuminates the contrast with my mother in stark ways and makes that contrast feel much harder to bear.
I’m excited for this eclipse season and the various conjunctions. Definitely a time of rapid change. I’m sending you and Jon so much love Nora and everyone else in this little community. I so enjoy reading all your comments and following along in everyone’s stories. Happy eclipse portal to each and every one of you! ✨😳💕🎉💪
Appreciating your "freeing" realizations Helen! I've been having my own as well. And I second the sentiment of enjoying and looking forward to this little sharing community here. <3
I am having the glow up of glow ups this morning. What a wonderful moon and eclipse this is bringing me. I feel so incredibly empowered and loudly purring in it. Much love to us all.🫂
Pink pink pink, in the pink, in good health and spirits. I hope I remember to keep the pink bubble around myself and for Michael too. It snowed again last night and now today as well. I got out my last untouched paint-by-numbers kit, to soothe myself from some worry caused by news. And as I had evolved from painting with these kits to "really" painting, it has been over a year since I bought this kit from Michael's. Of course, about half of the paints are dried up beyond usability. So I find myself kind of walking around in circles, unsettled coming back to the same canvas, will I ever get back to my center? I think I'll get out my tubes of paint and vaguely follow the outlines on the numbered canvas and paint my own version, with a big brush. And paint those big pink flowers. Thank you all for being here. Thank you Nora for letting us know how you are doing and posting. I'm excited to see my painting now and how it turns out. Love to you.
You probably know that I lived in New Mexico for a very long time, so if there's anything that I can do to help, in terms of advice or suggestions, let me know.
I know quite a few people/artists and musicians in Madrid. Anyway, good to "meet" you. Next time you come if you're in the mood let me know and we can get together if you want. Love to you Faith.
Thank you for sharing and offering. Sending you my love. We are planning on spending some time with Susan while we are there. Madrid is exactly the place I was feeling most drawn to, and of course the cost of housing there over the past three years is off the hook like everywhere else magical is.
New England is pretty magical. And if I told you would I paid for my house on 6 acres next to a lake and a waterfall you would probably cry... In a good way.
I tried for two years to buy sonething in VT and each tieme it fell through at the last minute for reasons that my real estate agent was like, "This has never happened before". I figured that was a sign from the Universe telling me to move on... so I did. But VT is a special place.
Hi Susan, do you happen to know Willamarie Moore? (in the off chance you’ve crossed paths in a city of thousands, lol) She’s my one Santa Fe friend. She leads yoga / sound bath / astrology gatherings with a woman named Adrienne Smith each month :)
After living 9 years in this house that we built in the woods, and after a year of feeling restless and talking in circles, on the spur of the moment last week we decided to sell, put our stuff in storage, trade our small camper in for something larger, and travel and have adventures until we find the place we want to settle into. At ages 68 and 71, we’re returning to the lifestyle of the mid-70’s, in the early years of our marriage. Bring on the new!!!
I love this sooo much! Being in my thirties, I sometimes worry that once I “settle” I won’t have any more big, tangible fun life changes. Stories like yours are so wonderful, inspiring, and affirming! I can’t wait to read about it as you go! :)
I'm 57, Helen. At 37 years old we left Chicago for the redwoods and the Russian River and two and a half years later moved 600 miles south to the beach and two years later here to Ojai knowing no one.
You will have so many adventures for the entirety of your life.
Beautiful unfolding. I love when things find a home like some of your things that aren’t making the move are doing. The faerie cards really are perfect. I find the meaningful for me too . . . Even thinking about my finger injury & things dying and being birthed . . . Good spin, right? The faerie godmother remote of your helpers post - was that last week?
The reiki teacher training class is wonderful . . . So rich in information & tools & practice & love! Gave myself a later start today. Eclipse. Full moon. Equinox. I wonder what is ending. I’m excited for spring. The seeds I planted a month ago are slowly growing. Herbs, anyone?
Much appreciation to you & to all here in the community you’ve created. ❤️
Thank you for sharing. I gave myself a late start today as well which made this a Monday Afternoon post for most. Thank you so much for your words about and your presence in the class. I am so glad you joined us for this one.
The capricorn in me (there's lots) appreciates your moving plan, very grounded and well thought out! And I love that picture of the Fairy Godmother! What caught my eye first was what looks to me like a crown of birch tree branches around her head... Birch trees are special to me as they are the first to grow back after forest fires...
I'm pretty good, focusing on rebalancing after some big processes the last couple weeks (I feel like I've been to heaven and hell and need to come back down to earth! lol) A really long walk in nature definitely helped, although my feet were not happy. Have also enjoyed another visit from my Pixiu/dragon fairy.
Interestingly I completely passed out on the couch at the time of the eclipse here last night - it would have been about 730 my time, and then woke up an hour later to put myself to bed! This never happens, so whatever I've been integrating I must have needed to be asleep for it. Big love to you Nora. x

So glad to hear the reading was relevant to you and what you needed.

That's so rough with the longtime friend. I am so sorry.
Great cards Nora! I was needing some fae guidance under the full Moon. 🙏
Thank you for sharing. Sending you my love.
Thank you again! I was so spontaneously inspired last night to do this :)

Such good stuff, Helen. Thank you.
I knew this post would go out later than usual due to teaching reiki all weekend. I love that you look forward to them so much.

Yay for painting excitement!
You probably know that I lived in New Mexico for a very long time, so if there's anything that I can do to help, in terms of advice or suggestions, let me know.
Faith.. I live in Santa fe now for the past 28 years. Maybe our paths have crossed.
They might have! I haven't lived in Santa Fe full time for a while but I did spend the winter before last there again. I usually hang in Madrid
I know quite a few people/artists and musicians in Madrid. Anyway, good to "meet" you. Next time you come if you're in the mood let me know and we can get together if you want. Love to you Faith.
That sounds like a great idea! It's a date.
Thank you for sharing and offering. Sending you my love. We are planning on spending some time with Susan while we are there. Madrid is exactly the place I was feeling most drawn to, and of course the cost of housing there over the past three years is off the hook like everywhere else magical is.
Madrid is the closest I've ever found to Northern exposures cicely, Alaska. I seriously flirted with moving there but yeah, housing costs are a thing.
New England is pretty magical. And if I told you would I paid for my house on 6 acres next to a lake and a waterfall you would probably cry... In a good way.
Yeah, I am still flirting with Maine in my future fantasies.
And yeah, I have a pretty good sense of what you did there based on other things you have shared.
yeah, but I've since fallen for Maine, so I take most of my bitching back.
We moved to NM from Vermont
I tried for two years to buy sonething in VT and each tieme it fell through at the last minute for reasons that my real estate agent was like, "This has never happened before". I figured that was a sign from the Universe telling me to move on... so I did. But VT is a special place.

No , I personally don't know your friend, however a friend of mine attends her gatherings. Cool. Xoxo

Thank you so much for sharing, so beautiful and vulnerable. Love this about the birch trees. Sending you big love in return.
