HONOR & TREASURE THE SPIDER WOMEN IN YOUR LIFE!

Is there a special spider woman who encourages you to scribble, paint, dance for joy instead of feeling crazy?
    Remember Charlotte's Web?  How this tiny spider kept on encouraging this frightened pig with her weavings.  Awesome pig.  Magnificent pig.  One of a kind, unlike no other one!  Do you have a voice inside that whispers words of light, of wonder, of encouragement to you when you feel stuck in a fate that feels crippling to your potential?
    When a friend gives you simple, sage advice, she has the wisdom of Spiderwoman.  When you watch a spider creating her web so quietly, with strands that can withstand the storms of life, can you see how much of what we do may go unnoticed, yet is still part of our web-making?
     When we reach out  near and far on  the Internet, we can be allies of the spider, or we can undermine others with our fears and frustrations.
      In Cherokee tradition, and many other  tribes too, Spiderwoman is the divine feminine, working to bring Light into an  oppressive world that so often hangs out in the dark.  She loves flowers, and is often invisible.  So listen within, and quietly ask, "What would you have me honor this day, sweet Spiderwoman?"
Be still, and trust the answer you are given.

It's a Time for Letting Go, Moving on


"You are in a time of positive forward motion."

"This is the time for positive momentum as you come out of a period of restriction. You're in a stage of new ad...venture and discovery. You may feel compelled to take a trip, change your hair, or move your home or business. Regardless, you can't remain where you are anymore. You feel compelled to go forward. No matter what you inquiry, you will see your dreams take form and doors previously shut begin to open as if by magic."

"*Movement* is also a state of mind. The fog lifts, and you now know the actions you need to take. This isn't the time for fear. Let it go and move forward."
  It's a time to let go of regrets for dreams that did not materialize, and be open to the magic of being present, moving forward.  The often quiet, but wise owl is one of my spirit guides; may I have the wisdom to let the tears flow and trust the mystery that awaits me as I let go restrictive thoughts, restrictive people who have their own dharma to play out. The water calls me today, as does the lovely sunshine and warm, spring air!
