In the deep of time and shadow, beyond the veil of ordinary perception, there has always existed a figure of profound mystery and power: the High Priestess. She stands at the threshold between worlds, a guardian of sacred knowledge and a conduit for divine wisdom. From the oracles of Delphi to the vestal virgins of Rome, from the Celtic druidesses to the Egyptian temple priestesses, her presence has woven through the tapestry of human spirituality since time immemorial.

Consider Pythia, the Oracle of Delphi, whose prophetic utterances shaped the fate of nations. Or Hypatia of Alexandria, whose profound wisdom and mathematical genius illuminated the ancient world. These women were more than mere mortals; they were living embodiments of the divine feminine, channels through which the cosmos spoke.

In this work, "The High Priestess," I sought to capture Her timeless essence. The figure seated radiant and knowing, her jeweled garments a reflection of both earthly beauty and cosmic grandeur. Each glittering stone represents a facet of the natural world—the deep green of forests, the azure of clear skies, the fiery red of molten earth—while simultaneously echoing the distant glimmer of stars and nebulae. She is a bridge between terra firma and the celestial realms, reminding us that we too are made of stars.

In a world that often seeks to dim our light, embracing our inner High Priestess is a radical act of self-love and empowerment. It's a recognition that our bodies are temples, our minds are oracles, and our hearts are sanctuaries of infinite wisdom. When we step into this role, we not only transform ourselves but also contribute to the healing and evolution of our entire world.

“It is not just your mother who may walk with you in spirit, it is her mother too. And her mother’s mother. And her mother’s friends, who loved by choice and not blood. And the women before them. Generations and generations of female energy, watching in admiration as you forge ahead living better, feeling better, accepting better, than they ever did. As they were much hoped you would.

So, when you feel low, lonely or unloved. Remember them, feel them. They are with you, and they burn brightly with their boundless light, in everything you do. You, my friends, are the ‘moment in time’ of many women gone before, and you will lay pathways, like they did, for those who come up next. “

I can’t stand grown women acting mean, petty, or competitive. We’re not in high school anymore—we’re women with real battles, real scars, and real lives we’re trying to rebuild. If you’re still gossiping, tearing other women down, or playing childish games, that’s not strength. That’s insecurity. Go to therapy. Heal what’s hurting inside you. Because strong women don’t compete; they encourage, support, and celebrate each other, even when it’s not their moment to shine. We’ve all survived enough pain, enough loss, and enough disappointment to know better. The last thing any of us needs is another woman trying to break us. Be the reason another woman feels seen, valued, and understood—not the reason she starts doubting her worth.

As many of you know, as an organic skin care therapist, I never fall for the next big thing. I always look at ingredients first. And, if they are natural, and the formula makes sense as to why it will work, I will try it. I recently found astraxanthin. It is a supplement, made of micro-algae, that helps with dry-eye, joint health and heart health. But the side effect is a natural, gradual sunlit glow and a reduction in wrinkles and sagging skin. You only need one a day, 12 mg tablet. They are available at local health food stores. Support your local businesses. I’m only about one-third of the way into a 60 capsule bottle and I already see results, and not just on my face, but my body, as well. Here’s my before and after.

"When people walk away from you, let them go.
Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you, and it doesn't necessarily mean they are bad people.
It only means their part in your story is over."

Don't get stuck on the hurt of it.
Don't get hung up on what you could've done differently.
Don't nurture regret about having known you should've broken ties earlier.
Let them go.
And let go of the feelings about it.

Focus positively on your new reality.
On the potential in every new day.
On the fact that there is a whole world of new, wonderful people to meet.
On the fact that you are always growing, while always being enough.”

Emotional maturity is not about pretending you are unaffected or above it all. It is about learning when to engage and when to step back, when to speak from the heart and when to protect your peace. It is understanding that not every moment deserves a reaction, even when your feelings are valid.

There is strength in discernment. In knowing that your energy is sacred and your silence can be just as powerful as your words. Growth looks like choosing calm over chaos, boundaries over explanations, and self respect over being understood by everyone.

Sometimes the most mature response is simply honoring yourself enough to walk away with clarity and grace.

Spend time in silence each morning to begin your day.

Think of this as a “plugging in” to the strength, confidence, faith, and love you have within you.

This sets the tone for your day giving you the wisdom to pause before taking an action, trusting yourself completely feeling sure that life supports you.
