Weaving Shadows: Grief Work and Becoming Through Writing

I have re-organized the characters one last time! Do the characters in your own story need a little rearrangement, too? How is YOUR story progressing? Also... I am reading the next excerpt of the Three Sisters' Grove Story Book and have some surprises in store for you at the end! I hope you enjoy! I feel like everything is coming together, finally!

This morning I realize my writing is taking another turn. Let me share with you my process to help you create your own Healing Daily Devotional and Writing Practice to Help Process Emotions, Thoughts and Reconnecting with Your Self and the World. You can find me on facebook at: #sweetestgrassrootsdevotionals / or my online blog at: themountaingoddessllc.blogspot.com / I also have an online PayPal...

My own beginnings in Daily Practice and how it can be utilized to create Somatic Healing in Grief Processing through Movement that gives rise to our Writing Processes. I call them my Sweetest Grass Roots Devotionals as a spin on my sacred grandmother's sweet grass blessings. You can find me on Facebook with #sweetestgrassrootsdevotionals.

Part of the story of how I came to Healing. This may be woven into Lady Isabella's story, stand on its own, or become part of a new thread. Only time will tell. I particularly like this one... wait for the song at the end! The song is an earlier recording... when my speech was still recovering. Enjoy!

This morning I was reminded to sing in the Sunrise to clear my mind, body, heart and soul of frustrations. This is my reset for today and I will have to make a habit of it again! The first song is one I was gifted almost 20 years ago by Spirit when in a tumultuous time of life. The second song is an adaptation of a song I wrote for my youngest son when he was defying death as a toddler. I've chang...

Hey Everyone! I tweaked the story characters a bit along with their placement in the grand scheme of their lives. I've also included Emma's back story (our Narrator), given clues and bits and pieces of my real life and how it entwines to create my character relationships. There is also a writing exercise for you to try at home! Enjoy!

Expanding the storyline to show the reconnecting process to a sense of self and the world around you in the grief recovery process. More Letters to my Sister.

Letters to my Soul Sister(s) about Living Life in Flux in the midst of grief... with post script poems (psp) about Shadows & Banshees. What does it mean to live like water? Grief is a tricky thing. It can leave you in a perpetual state of being stuck. Like stepping outside of time for a moment... only to come back and find you have been gone for decades. Your states of existence changing, mutating...

Abstract letter to a friend about what it's like to live in a state of grief.

Trying to use a newer sense of language and words to communicate what these last years have been like to live. Weaving in some older work for the nuances.

Creating more focus and purpose with this podcast. Changing from Dandelion Roots to our new image of the Shadow Weaver. 💕

Exploring concepts of The Tao in relation to my journey.

I've been contemplating for a couple days now on how to create the old bardic style songs to keep my content "fresh". These couple songs are what emerged during my 4-5am walk-about the kitchen island. My puppies fell promptly asleep and I think I found it! Listen and see if I was successful. I think it turned out pretty okay. 😊

This month, I am embodying The Witch in the Woods archetype as I speak to the Healing of Women. I share personal experiences to demonstrate the need and necessity of bringing back the methods of Women's Healing that were stolen from us once upon a time. This episode is also filled with real action steps you can take to help heal yourself as a woman... and to help support/heal the women in your lif...

I am still trying to digest my latest struggle living life with a brain injury with dditional complications and figuring out what to share publicly. In the meantime, i am sharing a cool old poetry contest submission that I found in a garage box while cleaning. You know what those are ;) the wall to wall boxes of papers that continuously move from one house to the next.

I started this episode in May 2023 as a way to process my grief over my mother's death at the same time I celebrated my 46th birthday. Turns out it wasn't as simple as that, and there is so much more to grieve than just her. I ended the episode with my personal prayer song gifted to me by my spirit guides and grandmothers... because when we need help, we ask for it... and because we cannot live li...

Recovery process as a form of a healer's shamanistic death, rebirth and renewal (inherent to my diaspora ancestors).

Life has become jumbled up and messy again.

My journey into the depths of multiple injury recoveries over the last 6 years and more specifically the decline of the last 2 years.... as poetry. The Reclaiming of Me. Of YOU. Of all of US. ❤️

Honoring the Creative Forces that move through me this season of Imbolg and the Goddess Brighid. Staying true to my poetry as a reflection of where I am at... right now.

Part TWO of the last podcast where communication was hindered by a snow storm. How working with a Health Coach changed my life and brain injury recovery status.

The brain is an enigma. Even scientists have barely scratched the surface of its wonders, nightmares, and how to heal it. What can be exceptional function and seemingly miraculous healing lasting for weeks or months... finally finding that Golden treatment... doesn't mean it will stick... that it will last. A perfect storm.
