Hello Beautiful Women
I hope you are enjoying this wonderful winter season. It has truly been a beautiful one.
Today was my day to write to you and invite you to the ceremony for honoring Moon Pause. Unfortunately, I forgot my journal of things I wanted to say to you.
But, on the beautiful bright side, today I came across DeAnna Lam'. Here are her thoughts, which truly resonate with me.

On her journey, DeAnna collected charms, I collected feathers, from many places around Oregon's back country. All Feathers has been with me through this journey and honestly through my healing journey from the horse accident. I could say recovering from the horse accident was horrible, but I can't. There were so many magical moments that I will preciously hold in my heart forever. From the moment it happened, and the spirit asked, "Sue What Are You Thankful For" as I was holding my mouth together trying not to pass out. That voice brought me back. It is that voice that has spoke to me through my menopause journey and to my moon pause. I would love to encourage you to find that voice, and you can find it as long as you spend many hours outside in nature.
I would imagine all of you were never taught to honor your moon cycle. Most likely taught to plug it up and push through. Which in-turn causes medical problems in the long run, hence why so many women my age, have had hysterectomies. I never had a moon party but, I did give one to my daughters(One of the best things I did for them). I had friends that were going to do it for their daughters, but they pulled out last minute for fear of embarrassing them. What they actually did was teach them to hide it and be embarrassed, by not following through.
Even on my Moon Pause journey, when I talk about any of the symptoms out loud, I can feel people feeling uncomfortable about me bringing it up. Even something as simple as "Whew, that was a big hot flash", people become clams. Well, I am not going to keep my mouth shut and we as a human race need to start honoring who we are, every part of it, celebrate and have ceremony. Even young boys, teenage boys and our Male warriors need ceremony. At one time All Races had ceremony, we are living in a time where all of this is being taken away. Which is hard to believe, because most of it was taken already.
We are born either Male or Female and there should be ceremony for the coming of ages for both. On that note, think about what should be done for your sons, brothers and husbands. The Males of our society. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Moon Pause is a beautiful time to collect your power for yourself and I can feel it. It is an amazing feeling to feel this power. This powerful feeling is not the same as feeling confident, it is very different and when you approach this time you will understand and feel it.

Born Wide-Eyed Wild Child
Always awake, always challenging what one would say, always running, always pushing the limits, no means yes, always had to learn the hard way, most of the time I was alone with my frogs, bees, plants, the wood pile, roamed the creek, my animals, falling sleep in the sun, cloud watching, star watching, starred at the mountains wondering how I could get up there and what was up there......
As time went on, riding horses bareback in the California hills at the age of nine for hours and never had a lesson, as time went on I would spend my last money just to be on a horse.
14 years and discovering the power and voice of water. The drive to Utah, feeling free from my moms abuse, hanging with cousins, walking barefoot in the summer river, I can feel the support of nature, the comfort it gives, setting seeds in me...
And here I am, still the wild child inside but now on the purple road in my winter cycle of life, spending a lot of time alone in nature and I feeling so blessed
