"At menopause… women become the Mothers of the Universe… the Mothers of the Earth, a physical representation of embodied spirit in human form, transmitting the true power of being anchored in the source of Great Mother, and acting from the core essence of Love. We have the opportunity to manifest the embodiment of sacredness and holiness in our physical incarnation, in our humanity. This is the gift of menopause, and if we say yes fully to the gift of this stage of our lives, we transform the generational patterns of pain and suffering in the generations that have come before us and that will come after us. We become the living embodiment of the Great Mother herself!" -Leonor Murciano-Luna, Ph.D., excerpt and art from our upcoming anthology, The Crone Initiation: Women Speak on the Menopause Journey Artwork by Andrea Redmond Post via Laron

"I think midlife is when the Universe gently places her hands upon your shoulders, pulls you close, and whispers in your ear: I’m not screwing around. It’s time. All of this pretending and performing – these coping mechanisms that you’ve developed to protect yourself from feeling inadequate and getting hurt – has to go. Your armour is preventing you from growing into your gifts. I understand that you needed these protections when you were small. I understand that you believed your armor could help you secure all of the things you needed to feel worthy of love and belonging, but you’re still searching and you’re more lost than ever. Time is growing short. There are unexplored adventures ahead of you. You can’t live the rest of your life worried about what other people think. You were born worthy of love and belonging. Courage and daring are coursing through you. You were made to live and love with your whole heart. It’s time to show up and be seen.'' ~ Brené Brown Artwork by Tohad Follow Laron: Telegram

Wishing a Happy Diwali to those for whom it forms part of their religion. It feels a relevant and beautiful celebration right now. It is a festival of lights that celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil and the human ability to overcome. I will be lighting candles to that.
