Lucky me- I spent Valentine’s day at the beach with my sisterbrother Marlon. We listened to the waves and talked about twospiritedness, ancestors, Seminole history, and healing. He did most of the talking since I lost my voice in San Francisco( better than losing one’s heart!) It was good to listen. It was good to be with an old friend. We had an instant connection when we met ten years ago at a Two Spirit Gathering in Colorado. The older I get the more I have come to cherish people who get me whether or not I/we talk. Having a couple days of not working or talking has been good for me. Sometimes little sicknesses come along to knock us off our feet so we can take a break from the world and reset. I feel so grounded now. While lying in bed these last three days, I created a whole new movement for my one person show! And I got to binge watch the new WOC version of Charmed! LOL. Black, Latina, Queer, feminist witches? It doesn’t get better than that! Then too, the extra time little breaks afford always make for longer stronger meditations and better dream recall. I DO miss my hiking however. Training for the #Camino has been so much fun. But even training benefits from breaks. And anything that gets me to the beach is a good thing! So thank you to Marlon for visiting. I always take my guests to the beach because that really is the whole point of LA as far as I am concerned. I am always a better person after I spend some time at the beach. I think everyone is. When is the last time you went to the beach?

Last night in Oakland we had fun working with candles to vision the future. We talked about fire-gazing in different cultures, did an exercise and then did a visioning journey. Lots of women came out on this winter night to be in community and share sacred space. Lots of healing happened. It was a beautiful cere-class! This was my 15th month coming to the Bay Area to run my women of color medicine series. In December I just completed my first Women of Color Medicine Apprenticeship Program. Next month I will begin the next cohort of apprentices. So exciting! The purpose of this work is to help women of color to develop their gifts and do self-healing so that they can use their gifts to heal each other and remake the world in our image. The future is female and when we draw on the power of our ancient traditions we as women have the power to overpower patriarchy and dismantle the corruption of the current power structures. Once we do that we can bring peace and unity to the planet, dissolving all forms of separation, and remember who we truly are as beings of light! I am doing this lightworker work all over California. Many other medicine people are doing this work all over the planet. We are forming a critical mass and we are raising the vibration of the planet. 2020 started out in a bad way with the loss of our republic but I know that if all the medicine women/light workers/burkas/hoodoo women come together we can heal this country and this world. The world needs us, our communities need us, and we are ready! What are you doing to spread the light?

As I continue to hike all over southern California training for my #hermosasupervivencia #caminodesantiago pilgrimage, I am saddened by what happened in our Senate this week. It appears as if we may have witnessed the end of our democratic republic as we now have a #dictator in office. There are no checks and balances anymore and the Senate is not responsive to the will of the people they were elected to represent. This has never happens in our country. Whatever we may have thought about past presidents we always knew they were impeachable. We always knew we could vote them out of office. We always knew we could prevent them from committing crimes. We always knew we were a democracy. We don’t know this anymore .I am not sure what we still know for sure. As a spiritual person I am asking what I can do, what should I do? What is my role in all this? When this man got into office I asked my guides why this happened? They have been talking to me for years about the shift in consciousness and about my role in helping the planet to shift. How, I asked, could the election of a racist sexual predator be consistent with a shift in consciousness? The answer I got four years ago surprised me. The guides said even this was a good thing. They said that this event was going to galvanize people to come together and to work across differences. Survivable was going to compel people to change for the better. It’s true that people do tend to become better versions of themselves during natural and national disasters. We become kinder and more generous. We unite and we cooperate. We tend to respond to devastation with love. Have we done that as a nation? I saw us do that in the wake of the muslim ban when thousands of us came together occupied the airports. I saw us do that in the wake of the detention of immigrants at the border. Now they are going after #womensrights. Will we ban together again? And will our love prevail in this climate of hate? Recently when I asked my guides what to do they told me to work faster uniting all the light 💡 workers and starting my school. They said people working on the shift have to work faster. For my part, I am speeding up. Are you?
