      <description>&lt;div&gt;this is awesome!!! to BE!  to BE LOVING! TO LOVE!  how incredible!  i am so blessed to be experiencing a steady increase in consciousness which allows me to recognize these simple and profound blessings in my life.  it seems as if i've uncovered an inexhaustible source of joy - my gratitude.  creating in me a good feeling about myself and the world actually creates good things around me!!! our thoughts are so very powerful - actually creating our entire realities!!  when we can feel gratitude for everything around us / accept the things in our lives as manifestations of unconditional LOVE, it ripples outward at an awesome rate!!  this is some of the best work we can do as far as i am concerned - truly enjoy our lives!!!! keep on raisin' the vibration in ourselves and the world will transform before our very eyes!&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;div&gt;We All Come From The Goddess. . .&#xD;
&#xD;
&amp;amp; To Her We Return!  &#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
As Our Mother The Earth shows us, to each thing there is a Season.  An Ebb and Flow of Time and Energy sets in motion what is to be and calls back what has been done.   This sacred Cycle pervades All things in Life. &#xD;
For many months I have been awaiting Flow to bring life to an idea.  I felt called to create a space to Celebrate the Goddess within each of us, and to establish a forum for Connection to take place.  Various Ideas came and went, as did Time itself.  &#xD;
My Inspiration for this project was all but forgotten as I turned to the Goddess within – and discovered my True Inspiration!!!  It is with a Joy-Full heart that I Accept the Flow of Creation within me (and you) and the Energy to bring forth this space NOW.&#xD;
&#xD;
What or Who is a “Goddess”?&#xD;
In the simplest sense, “Goddess” is the female form of the Creator; She that is Divine; The Giver of All Life; and Mother Earth Herself.&#xD;
As each woman holds within her body the Miracle of Miracles – the ability to Create Life, EVERY WOMAN is the Living Embodiment of this Divine Feminine Energy!&#xD;
She takes shape as the Youth-Full Maiden – Courageous and Free.  She can be seen as the Great Mother the power of Love that Sustains All Life.  She Teaches us Wisdom and Healing ways as the Old One – the Crone. &#xD;
Needless to say, (but I will!) without Women there would be no Life on our Planet!  Healthy Women make Healthy Children – make a Healthy Planet.  Happy Women make a Happy home – a Source of Joy for the Entire Community.  Women that Share their Strength with One another Empower each other to Be Healthy and Happy!&#xD;
&#xD;
Remembering Our Connection&#xD;
In the Beginning Times of our Earth, Women were revered as the Keepers of the Secret of Life.  Goddess-Worshipping cultures were found around the World.  To many, All Women were considered Sacred, Holy.  They were given positions of Power not only in their own Families but throughout these Matriarchal societies.  They were Queens, and Preistesses, Medicine Women, Shamanesses, Warriors, Healers, Prophetesses, as well as Grandmothers, Mothers, Wives and Lovers, Sisters, and Daughters.  To Be a Woman was a Great Honor.  It still is.  How have we forgotten?  &#xD;
Through the course of Time, Power came to rest in the hands of greedy men (and some women too).  Little by little, Women became less valued in society, in their own homes and eventually within their own hearts.  This devaluing of Women (or any of God/dess’s  Creations)  is wrong and untrue.  &#xD;
We were All Created through Love.  Entertaining a Belief that anyone is better/worse than anyone else is untrue and hurtful to not only ourselves but the Universe as well.  We are all born as Holy as the One Who Made Us.  It is what we choose to do from that point on that either Heals or hinders our progression back to that Holiness here on Earth.&#xD;
&#xD;
“May Heaven Be Reflected in The Earth Right Now that The Earth may Become Like Heaven”&#xD;
&#xD;
Through generations of societal programming, we have forgotten that Holiness.  Unfortunately, this is not only a problem for women!  We as people have forgotten our Divinity (the Truth of our Creation and Purpose) and as such have found our Lives and our Planet in a state of great unbalance.&#xD;
In fact, over the past few decades, this unbalance has become increasingly and alarmingly more Clear.  What kind of World will we leave our Children???&#xD;
&#xD;
Adversity can be seen as a hardship/tragedy or as great Oppurtunity for Change.  It is an easy Choice!  Do you hear the call?  Will you Accept the Responsibility?  We must Awaken to the Truth within each of our Hearts and  Follow that Truth.&#xD;
Now is our Oppurtunity to Right the wrongs.  Now is the Time for Forgiveness and re-Unification in Love.  This applies to all people – not only Women.  &#xD;
However, we as Women have been given a great Gift.  It is The Power of Life.  It is The Rhythm of the Cycles of the Earth and Moon.  We have the Power to Nurture and Heal this Earth and Ourselves as we have Nurtured and Healed our Children and Families since the Beginning of Time.  We have the Power to see clearly the Truth of our Interconnectedness as manifestations of the Divine Mother Goddess here on Earth!&#xD;
&#xD;
