Sitting in the airport,
Getting ready to board a plane for my first solo trip abroad
Excited energy is pulsing thru my veins
I am ready
I’ve been ready
This is the moment that I’ve been waiting for
The moment that I’ve written about…
Manifesting believing and visualizing
I am free
I am an adventurer
I am ready
This is the first of many
The first trip that sets the precedence
The tone for the trips to come
The first that opens the gateway to more
The first that shows my inner self it can be done
Abundance, gratitude and joy
So many emotions
So much excitement and anticipation
But no expectations
I am a feather
I am free
I can fly
Boarded the first leg of the flight
Heart is fluttering with excitement
One step closer
I am ready
I am open to the messages from the universe
What’s next for me
I am open and willing
Ready
Show me
On the second leg of my flight
Still feels surreal
Am I really doing this solo adventure
My heart starts to beat faster in anticipation
Knowing that which awaits me will change the course of my life forever
To say that I’m excited is an understatement
The undercurrent of excitement vibrates beneath my skin
Anticipation is upon my breath
My body is trembling with the knowledge of what’s to come
No explanation needed
Just to true deep inner knowing
That this moment
This step
The chance
This precipice is all it takes
This is my life
This is my adventure
This is the new me
Peering out the window, I see the first few hints of land.
It was a long flight, and I’m ready to get out and stretch my legs
I’ve been asking myself how I feel now that this is real, and I will be exploring on my own.
My answer is excitement
Sheer excitement and anticipation, bubbling just below the surface.
I’ve walked the streets of Edinburgh
Seeing things my eyes struggle to comprehend
Cathedrals, castles, and old buildings
The feeling of belonging and connection runs deep
I am tired but so full
Ready so very ready
Hiking Arthur’s seat
Alive exhilarating accomplished
Sooooo happy.
Unbelievably high on life right now
Expansion and accomplishment
I am so proud of myself right now.
Lying in bed, enjoying the quiet
I have a moment alone before meeting the group
Today was such a gift
The museum
The library
The walk
All of it was so amazing
Arthur’s seat was just everything
My body is tired, but my heart is so full
I am so grateful
So blessed
So overwhelmed
But loving every minute!!
Learning how to be with women is expansive
I don’t know what it means or how to tap into feminine energy
What does that even mean???
What does that look like for me??
Fluidity is the word that I was given
Being fluid means more to me than being in flow
But not sure how….. the how doesn’t matter
Water is fluid water flows, graceful like a dancer
Clouds moving across the sky on a windy day
Constant motion, responding and adapting
We sat as one, in what once was a boggy marsh
Where 200 skeletons of witches were drowned
Heaviness and darkness
But at the same time, the land and women are grateful for being recognized
The land is healing itself with our prayers, words, tears and love
We are the granddaughters of the witches you couldn’t burn
We are the ones who never forget
Went to bed at 8 and slept still 5.
Got up and went for coffee, and wrote in my journal.
Exactly what I needed to start this day.
It’s time to leave the city for the Highlands
As we left the city behind, I can feel my energy returning
The promise of the mountains and forests fills me once again
Dunkeld Cathedral
Sat in the log chair
Recentered after the energy of the city
Connected again
The Hermitage
Woods trees moss
Deep grounding and connection
Waterfalls
Cleansing
I sat amid the boulders
My hand touching the earth
My cup is filled
Quiraing
Words are not enough
Pictures do not do justice
To see for yourself is the only way to understand
Unbelievable, amazing and wow were repeated over and over
Cuckoo bird started singing
Sharing her message just for me to hear
Rode on top of the ferry to Mallaig
Chilly but cleansing
Water and wind
Clearing out the dust and unwanted energy
Summer solstice ritual / healing the witch wound
So amazing and moving.
We sat by the sea
Release what doesn’t serve us
Did mirror magick
I am worthy
I am safe
I am wise
Went to Dunollie Castle
Celebrated solstice
I am exhausted physically, mentally, and emotionally
Emptied out
Ready to be filled once again
It’s safe to be seen
It’s safe to be me
It’s safe to be authentic
Be intentional with everything I do
Anything/everything can be a ritual including putting on jewelry, making coffee…
All my routines are rituals.
Ending this trip sitting in the airport once again waiting for my connecting flight home even though I don’t feel like it’s my home but the person waiting for me is my home.
This trip for me has been an exercise of expansion and really centering in on me and my life. The universe has my back. Community, Connection, Circles, Covens…. these are the lessons that I am learning.
To the gods of old
The spirits of this land
The ancestors who went before me
My guides that I’ve met and those I have yet to meet
Thank you for the gifts you have given to me
Thank you for your guidance and wisdom
I am a vessel
A conduit
May I integrate the lessons you’ve shared with me
And be an example to others
I do not take the title of wise woman lightly
I am a spiritual facilitator
A spotlight for others
Showing the way
Leading by example
I am worthy
I am wise
I am powerful
