Jessamina's Blog

Hello All! Here is a post by our Lovely Rita...        This past spring, I took an amazing class called  “ The Goddess Experience ”. At the start of the class our instructor held a Quartz Crystal in her hand & introduced herself as Goddess Jess. She shared with us that we were going to have the opportunity to boast, share what we were grateful for, as well as any desires we have. She then told us that we were to introduce ourselves as “Goddess ____.” This in and of itself made me giggle, never mind actually SAYING I was a Goddess. How could I say I was a Goddess? How could I BE a Goddess?? That first time introducing myself as a Goddess (which was extremely difficult) was just a brief encounter of The Goddess Within…

This recipe is THE BOMB. It's like, a hundred ingredients, but it's totally worth the scavenger hunt at the supermarket. It's for Cranberry Chutney  and the first time I tried it,  was a few Thanksgivings back at my dad's house. I went back for thirds, and fourths..after I said I was "so full"..so embarrassing. Thank you Jill! Here it is (recipe is doubled for Thanksgiving and amended ingredients are in parenthesis) 4 C Fresh organic Cranberries 1.5 cups packed brown sugar (or Coconut Sugar) 1 C light Raisins (or regular raisins) 1 C chopped celery 1 C chopped apple 1 C coarsely chopped walnuts 4 T finely snipped candied ginger 4 T lemon juice 1/2 tsp ground cloves 1 C water and  2 tsp Onion salt (this was too much for me so I just shaked it in to my taste) Combine all ingredients, bring to a boil, stirring constantly Simmer Uncovered 15 min, stirring occasionally Store in Fridge, covered, serve chilled. I especially love that ...

The Holiday Vortex is Approching...I can feel my Vitality and Health "expressing itself" already. It's throat Chakra stuff again..(I'm working on expressing myself clearly, right now, in Business and my personal Relationships, but anyway)...It's time for me to: Take a nap Drink my Nettle infusion Take an aromatherapeutic Shower/Bath Make a yummy fruit smoothie, add in some Rose Hips  Look around for some other edibles in my Goddess Garden..chickweed anyone? Reiki/self Reiki  Get Sweaty..hmmm..... Keep Speaking my Truth                                                                            ...

Coming to Our Senses      Nature designed us to enjoy the bodily state of pleasure.  Connecting mind and spirit through our physical senses comes naturally.  Especially if pleasure is your foundation.       I headed out to get the mail yesterday, in a t-shirt and bare feet.  To my sweet surprise, the soft wet ground yielded beneath my feet, as I jumped over little patches of snow.   I skipped passed my son's melted snowman, just an unrecognizable pile of white, now.. Grabbing the mail, I dared to put my bare toes in the small snow drift by the mailbox. Refreshing. Cold, but not biting.  The wind whirled my hair into my face and covered my eyes as I hopped over to the patches of exposed soggy grass and up the steps to the front door.      The weather always seems to mirror the feminine emotions... Big winds of change.  Spring is com...

The Other Day I was leaving the Supermarket, when a woman with the most perfect hair, stood infront of me..I mean, really, really amazing..I was staring.  My hair was pinned up, mommy fashion, and I had one little guy in the basket and one hanging off my pocketbook, I was wearing my "run-to-the-market" clothes and no makeup.. Just looking at her and her "pulled-togetherness" made me feel great.  So I walked past her, said, "great hair!" and kept walking.. she called after me, "you just MADE my day." I swirled around and said.."your welcome!" and laughed..she laughed too.    So I propose, to all the goddesses reading along here..we compliment some random woman, an online artist that makes you swoon, that beauty at the office, you never even spoke to.. .  Something sincere, sweet.. and see what happens.  I've noticed the more I appreciate other women, the more I can appreciate myself.
