It’s a new year and I have a declaration to make. I declare 2018 the Year of the Goddess. On the heels of 2017, the year of women rising up, finding their voice, the year of ‘me too’, the divine feminine is awakened. Women are stepping into their power in amazing and wonderful ways and I believe 2018 promises to be filled with Goddess magic.

The Year of the Goddess is a big part of why I set out to be a Life Coach. Although I wasn’t really aware of this until recently. What I have been very aware of through my own journey, discovering my inner Goddess, is the need for the Divine Feminine to come forth, to stand alongside the masculine and create a movement that gives way to more balance, peace, and harmony in the world.

All lasting change happens from the inside out and, while I believe women hold the power to heal the world, we must heal ourselves first.

So, what is a goddess?

There are many different Goddess archetypes and most of us view the Goddess as a mythical figure. Nonetheless, I believe there is a Goddess in you and me and in the most basic sense she is…

• A woman committed to learning to know, love, and accept herself fully – Body, Mind, and Spirit. Her body is a sacred vessel, her heart is open, and she is mindful of her thoughts and self-talk, carefully selecting only that which is life affirming and empowering.
• She knows she is a beneficial presence in the world. She is focused on personal and spiritual growth, on becoming increasingly self-aware and in doing so she experiences greater peace, love, joy, passion, and fun in her life.
• A woman who understands she has limitless capacity to create the life she wants. She is increasingly aware that life flows from the Divine through her, that she has the power of choice, always.
• She is learning to trust her inner voice, her inner wise self and follows her intuition knowing full well it is the voice of the Spirit within.
• A woman who keeps a loving self-image; she sets clear boundaries for herself while remaining flexible and honors the boundaries of others.
• She has let go of the need to control people and situations and takes full responsibility for her thoughts and actions.
• A woman who allows herself to feel all of her feelings and emotions with self-compassion; and looks for the empowering gifts within.
• Hence, she is defined by no one but herself.

She is and has always been in you. Her voice quieted or perhaps silenced by the voices of the outer world that tell us over and over again who we should be and how we should live our lives. The inner Goddess is the truth of who you are. She is your Divinity waiting to be rediscovered.

Are you feeling disconnect from your inner Goddess?

What are you willing to discover about yourself? I invite you to close your eyes. Turn inward to that part of you that knows these truths. This is your personal voice; your unique mystical, magical voice, your Goddess voice. When the outside world is too loud, as it often is, she is here, ready to remind you of your innate worthiness. She is the wise woman, here to help you reclaim your self-loving voice and remember how wonderful you are.

Are you willing to rediscover your inner Goddess? I’d be honored to support you in your journey.

From my heart to yours,

Rediscover and nurture your Goddess in 2018!
