Love returns us to our heart.
Look for Signs of Love today, basking in presence.

I was having a challenging week.
I was really close to completing a book I’d been writing for several years and it was stressing me out.

Since it’s all about Feminine Soul and connection to Spirit in our day-to-day lives, the process was really putting me through my paces at the moment. (Other times, it was totally glorious).

So I took myself on retreat, returning to a place that brought me a lot of clarity and solace.

I was battling fears about getting this book, The Magdalene Path, out in the world. Birthing pains. I went for a long walk along the river, pondering these challenges that were thorns in my side.

One insight led to another as I moved through the sultry summer forest, looking for a private swimming hole to contemplate my dilemmas.

As I turned a bend I came to a massive rock outcropping, a perfect sun-drenched spot. I was starting to feel clear and at peace.

As I scrambled up the stone, I came upon this heart rock, a sign for me, of love and hope. My heart was full of joy and tears at this lovely message from Spirit, letting me know I was on the right track. And that all was well.

I smiled noticing a canine tooth was carefully placed with it. This seemed like no accident and further blessing and acknowledgement.

It too seemed like a wink from my beloved white wolf hybrid, Aiko, who had lived and loved this place once also. I spent the rest of that day basking in the summer sun, letting the river wash over me and my concerns as the rest ofmy inner world was clicking into place.
