Whoa.

I’ve been “juicing” like a madwoman lately. My new favorite blend is cucumber, pear, ginger and celery.

This video was/is inspiring.

I’d like to invite you to join in over at the Squam blog if you need a little help or motivation in the day to day with short or long-term projects. You can post your need/resolution/intention or what you need to be dared to do and check in every Thursday.

If you read the comments you will be knocked out by the support being demonstrated…women to women.  Women declare their intentions from organizing, finishing writing projects, doing taxes, losing weight or even simply becoming a little less introverted.

I’m not exactly a team player when it comes to my needs and asking for help, but I did state my desire for a little accountability in the juicing/paleo diet area of my life.  I dared myself to make more smoothies and juices.  I intuitively know this is a good practice for me right now.

Go on over…I Double Dog Dare you! If that isn’t “it” for you, I understand, but invite you to share one of your yearly intentions in the comments here. I’d love to hear from you….

In the meantime…a little Ane is always nice.

“Even after all this time the sun never says to the Earth, ‘You owe me.’

Look what happens with a love like that, it lights the whole world.”

Try, if you can, to listen to this song once and not have the words….

swimming around your head. psssssssssssst….play it loud.

Mother of All Releasing, Arizona from Latisha Guthrie on Vimeo.

Something lovely is happening tomorrow.  I blogged about it a few days ago, but now I have a little more to share.

Tomorrow marks the mid-cycle of  Winter Solstice, the darkest day of the year, but the day that also symbolizes a gradual return of the light. Blogger and teacher Pixie Campbell of Pink Coyote has organized a way for  you to participate not only in celebrating the solstice in a healing and releasing way, but also to contribute to the high energy of women the world over by celebrating The Mother of All Releasings Ceremony with us.  You can do it alone or you can get your friends involved. I am doing it alone tomorrow and then on Friday with a friend.

This is Pixie’s video, (the one I shared the other day) and the wonderful thing is that her video has inspired others and so on and so on and so on. The one above was made by Latisha Guthrie and the soulful music she chose is One Voice by the Wailin Jenny’s.

Pixie is doing a generous give-away on her blog, so I urge you to to stop by and take a peek.

I have always known that at last I would take this
road, but yesterday I did not know that it would be
today.

I’ve been enjoying these women for awhile now and it’s time to share:
