What frightens us might just make us stronger

Which kind of witch mood are you in today, or right now, since we fluctuate throughout the day? Are you feeling wholesome or pungent, sweet or sassy? In the climate of morning and night shifts.

Can we pivot or realign and allow our inner spirit to shine? Each time we fall, let it wake us up and create space for our hearts and souls to embrace their true nature. 

What if our fearful or tearful states are here to strengthen us? And our Self-awareness gives us the fortitude to notice our sensations and applaud all aspects of ourselves, including the light and dark sides, 

When we carve space away from our looming facades of avoidance, we can confront our shadows.

✨ Sometimes what scares us is what helps us grow stronger

✨ What frightens us can forge our strength

✨ Courage is often born in the trembling

It’s in our self-reflection that we use our common sense to see ourselves as playful, whimsical beings, ready to change for the greater good, even when our witchy sides emerge.

In the climate of ever-demanding tradeoffs between left or right gist,

Which spice with a touch of hot sauce or honey do you want on your plate? 

For many, Halloween’s spooktacular, ghoulishness felt ridiculous, uneasy, or queasy. For others, there was fun in the candy, costumes, and the reinventing of themselves, even if it was for one party. But what if this translates to the bigger scope? 

Why not settle in and get to know yourself?

For each season of life, with its cycles, celebrations, commitments, and commemorations, filled with orchestrated events and unexpected encounters, reveals harsher and lighter sides that shape us. 

In America, many of us are preparing for Thanksgiving, a holiday focused on family tradition and gratitude.

And then comes the extraordinary commotion of seasonal celebrations for many of us, which leads to the launch of the new year. As we honor the presence, I invite you to slow down when life feels like it’s moving too fast—the Radiant Woman’s Way.

Ripening like the harvest squashes, gourds, and pumpkins on their vines, 

merging all aspects of ourselves by carving out some self-aware time rather than hiding behind our inner or scarier thoughts, which bubble in the caldron. When we float above, witnessing the brew fluctuate between simmer and boil, good or wicked, rich or poor, rough and rowdy, bedazzled in princess galore. 

So my friend,

Are you feeling like the good witch or the evil one right now, battling the vrittis (a Sanskrit word meaning swirling thoughts) in your mind?

We can repel the muck, have a good cry, create masterful pieces, and even get messy.

Leap into faith, step into our power stances. I’d love to hear which witchy mood you’re feeling today.
