I have absolutely no shame in admitting that holding today’s event terrified the pants off me.
Firstly, I was sharing a rose oil ritual and tea ceremony that I have designed and developed myself, with a group of women who ‘know their stuff’…gulp!
Secondly, I was going to bake a cake. That was maybe the most scary, nerve wracking thing about the whole event. You just can’t buy a Rose & Pistachio cake in the shops can you and I wanted to include one.
But, baking is not my thing. I get myself in such a tiswas over it. All that effort just for something to go wrong. I sat on the stairs whilst it was in the oven praying it would turn out ok.
We can’t be good at everything can we?
But, here’s the thing, according to my ex (note the word ex), I wasn’t a very good wife because of it. Wives baked for their husbands apparently.
Oh well, not this ex one.
I will however happily bake for a beautiful group of goddesses. I will also slice and serve it with the silver from my wedding day, 31 years ago - I thought it quite fitting.
I believe it’s all about the energy we put into our cooking. If you are cussing whilst baking, because it’s expected of you, then maybe it all goes flat. If baking with joy in your heart, then it turns out well.
And here she is. Made by me, with love in my heart, not spite.
Maybe I should take a slice and shove it up his……Thank you to the women who joined me today for my first in person community circle.
Next Wisewoman gathering 29th January.
Love to you all

PS. Water is sacred. Without water there is no life.
Add rose petals, the highest vibration of all flowers, a few hibiscus heads to help balance our feminine energies. Infuse it with love and you have a powerhouse of healing in a cup.
Next time before you take a sip, take a deep relaxing breath and know that you are filling yourself up with life force energy. 🍵
