Hold Space for The Women of Mother Earth

WELCOME Mid-March!

March is our transitional month that prepares us for many transitions within our seasons to come – just like a Woman, who prepares the family.

We transition from the first quarter of the year to the second quarter of the year – similar to stages of development.

We are transitioning from shorter days into longer days – preparing US for Spring’s grace to work and plant.

With transition comes change, shifts, and conflict – a time of heightening OUR self-awareness.

Also, there are celebrations, births of all types, and continued evolution – the balance WE need.

In these times, might we seek to understand the bigger picture and discover our role within the smaller detail?

“Be swift to maintain humility and continuous self-reflection to ensure you are in position to shift – to the next focus.”

While entering into the middle of March with a change in time (daylight savings) and an increased moon illumination at 77%, I am engaged to the overflowing sense of connection I feel with The MOTHER’S of the Earth. I have an earnest plea for a deep change to occur for Women on Earth. May this deep change be a higher honor for Woman. A respect for the nature of Woman. A service to the need of Woman. A higher value for Women that does not lure over Woman’s vagina as a ravishly sexual encounter to only please the patriarchal pride and greed.

I have a deep crying out for Women on Earth currently suffering oppression. Oppression through sex trafficking; oppression from one’s emotionally, mentally, and physically abusive spouse and or relatives; oppression of sexism through employer harassments and bullying colleagues;  oppression from personal guilt to remain voiceless after enduring rape, molestation, or abuse of any kind; oppression from THE ASSAULT ON OUR TOTAL WOMANHOOD!

Assault on OUR VAGINA’S that distinguishes our difference, yet sustainability of our Woman-ness. Assault on OUR HEART’S that warrants our devotion toward all people.

I take the time to hold space in honor of MY Matriarchal Ancestral roots and accept the March to March on with the legacy of Power, Courage, Wisdom, and Love. I hold space in honor of HER ENDURANCE that runs through MY BLOOD; HER FAITH in The Creator that connects ME to Spirit; and HER LOVE for creation that designed MY DNA.”

While attending My good friend, Dr. Cre Dye’s (Associate Professor in the Department of Counseling and Student Affairs at Western Kentucky University) presentation on the Moonstruation, I was reminded of My GrandMothers’ Spirit within ME. Her Spirit that I was fortunate to experience while in Her presence when she was alive and the Spirit of My Mother’s Mother, who I never had the chance to meet but yet, I know Her. I know Her very well. I know Her through the stories My Mother share from Her memories. I also know Her from My own experiences with the activated voice within, influencing My decisions at times. She is with ME. She runs with ME. She leads ME. I still feed from HER milk.

I hold space for All Women, this month, this year for Ancestral Healing – LET US STAND in OUR POWER and in OUR PAIN. May WE feel connected to OUR GrandMothers more than ever. May WE feel wrapped and covered in HER COURAGE. HER WISDOM. HER LOVE – That whatever circumstance ALL WOMEN on MOTHER EARTH find herself facing, HERSELF show up! May the hands of the oppressor over ANY WOMAN be broken. May the ties to oppression through post traumatic stress, spiritual bonding, emotional dwelling, mental meditation, physical pain, and financial poverty BE BROKEN – FOREVER!
