2 months ago by wildthyme Wednesday 13 Dec 2018 . . “If you’re reading this 100 years from now, you should know that bit of typewriter ribbon is from my grandfather’s typewriter. He wrote letters and ran a business from it. He was called Felipe Hernandez. My siblings let it come to my house because I’m a writer. It lives in the money corner of the house. I have faded memories and a handful of artifacts. I often wonder what I will leave to my children and grandchildren. What stories/memories/artifacts and ways will they inherit? I hope they kiss life on the mouth. Artifacts will

3 months ago by wildthyme Wednesday 5 December 2018 . . One of my favorite soul searching questions comes from my friend Cynthia @restoried .explorations What are you reaching for? It’s a great orienting question. . . These days, I’m reaching for my roots and a sense of place. I’ve lived in this city for almost 3 decades and it’s never felt like home. I’m exploring why that is. Which begs the question: Where AM I at home? What are my own conditions for thriving? I’m reaching for what I know. Finding places that feel like home. Remembering when I felt grounded, secure and connected. I
3 months ago by wildthyme Leaning into the Soul Cartography rhythm of collect...collect...reflect. Sifting through thoughts, emotions and movements from last week. Weighing and measuring what is real and what is true. Listening with openness. Trusting what holy spirit brings to the surface. . . This week’s pages held a mix of practical action lists, celebration and some uncomfortable truth about my own ways of walking in the world. Settling in with the question: Where do I need to take responsibility? What outcome do I want? . . What questions are you asking your Self this week?
3 months ago by wildthyme I'm going LIVE again in 15 minutes! Join me to learn about how self-awareness journaling can help you answer three questions:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Where am I (in life) and how did I get here?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. Where do I want to go and what is my next step?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. How do I navigate the journey with confidence no matter the challenges and transitions I face?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm excited to hand you the tool that changed my life more than a decade ago. I'll see you soon (link in bio)
3 months ago by wildthyme Roasting yesterday’s table decorations. Meditating on season changes and the wisdom of seeds. I’m filled with gratitude for my Mexican ancestors. Our holiday table has traditional US fare, but more and more I’m circling back to the Mexican celebration foods of my childhood. (I’ll promise to share my tamale adventures with you!) I’m committed to expanding my understanding (and support) of the stories and lives of indigenous people. I’m starting by reading my way through @kaitlincurtice ‘s list of 25 Books By Indigenous Authors You Should Be Reading. (Find it in her bio) First in the queue Braiding Sweetgrass by
3 months ago by wildthyme I can’t quiet the world around you. I can’t tell you who you are, what step you should take next, or what you’re meant to do with your one wild and precious life, but here’s what I can do: I can give you the tools you need to listen to yourself. I can teach you a practice I have honed for over a decade. Self-awareness journaling will uncover the clarity, peace, and confidence you already have underneath the stress, noise, expectations, and pressures around you. In the Soul Cartography online course, you’ll discover who you are and determine what that

3 months ago by wildthyme What if you knew someone who always knew what you needed to do next?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well, you do.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your magical friend who always knows what to do next is YOU. With the right tools and the right guide, you can access the part of yourself that always knows what to do next, and that’s exactly what my new course, Soul Cartography, will teach you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In 16 videos, you’ll learn how to capture what your inside voice (the conversation you’re constantly having with yourself) is telling you and how to reflect on what you notice in order to gain clarity, confidence, and
3 months ago by wildthyme What is self-awareness? Self-awareness is telling yourself the truth about your self & your life. As you tell yourself the truth, you’re learning to guard your vulnerabilities, leverage your strengths, and sustain healthy relationships of all kinds--and all of these comprise a life of meaning, a life lived fully and openly as your truest, most authentic self. Self-awareness journaling is a tool you can use to map your way to the truth about your self and your life. For me, it orients and aligns. It clarifies and course-corrects. I’m excited to hear about what it does for you. For those

3 months ago by wildthyme I love seeing my favorite humans take Soul Cartography and make it their own. This isn’t a course where you copy my work. This is a course that supports you as you create a practice of your own. @lukegarmon is a living, breathing testimonial that it works. ・・・ “One of the best tools my mom handed me in life is my journal practice. It informs how I see those around me, the world, and myself. It’s where I shine a light on blind spots and find direction for the art I want to make. I wouldn’t be who I am
3 months ago by wildthyme Soul cartography is not about art. It’s about soul work.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The journaling process involves paint and pens and art supplies, but it is the work of sorting and collecting emotions, thoughts, and information that transforms and opens your soul. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The journaling is just an access point to yourself. It will help you answer the questions you struggle to answer. It will help shed light on the things hiding in the shadows. Journaling prompts, techniques, and tools act as a guide in helping you make sense of what your soul contains. And that’s the real work of crafting a meaningful

3 months ago by wildthyme My friend Cynthia of @restoried .explorations has one of the most soul-full journaling practices that I know of. She engaged w Soul Cartography as a seasoned visual journaler. Whether you’re experienced or have never kept a visual journal before, there is soul work to be had. . ・・・ “This is five plus years of my journaling practice. In April of 2013, I burned all of my journals ... creating space in my life for more than the girl who was driven by fear and shame. That night my youngest daughter sat with me at the fire and i told her that

(Swipe left for the spread) @bkasstle Ever grateful for your class w Tracie @dreamdiggerstudio . . I use pages as containers for my soul work. They are faithful truth tellers. . .

3 months ago by wildthyme Changing seasons hang by gossamer threads and remind us that everything belongs. The land tells us the truth if we’re listening. . . I am grateful for crisp air and blue skies. I’m grateful for a kitchen that overflows with laughter and ideas and truth-telling. I’m grateful for old recipe cards covered in spidery handwriting and stories. I’m grateful for all the hands that prepared. I’m grateful for the newest baby and for our precious og Friendsgiving of 20 years. . . May your day be rich with roots and wings
3 months ago by wildthyme In the 3rd and final video of my free series this week, I am going to open my journal for you. I want to bring you into my process. Most of the images you see on my page are curated selections from my journal. To help you understand some of the magic of the Soul Cartography process, I made a video about the pages for you. You can’t reach clarity, focus, and peace without taking time to sort through what you’re carrying. More alignment, more expression, more intuition, and more sovereignty over your own life. This is the gift of
3 months ago by wildthyme There’s nothing that I love more than holding space for women to find their voice. Soul Cartography was my medicine and I after a decade of making real time offerings, I spent almost all of last year creating the online version. I would love nothing more than for you to create your own containers and medicine. @restoried .explorations is sharing her Soul Cartography pages and they are so powerful!

@DeniseHR I feel like that about white ladies down at the pool when I hear English. Minus the tamales, so I just stay scared.
