The first two months I write nothing…sitting in freeze mode. then flipping it and giving myself permission to not write.

Not do anything. I’ve worked steady since the age of twelve. Entrepreneur since 24. The “business ME” feeling like she’s always doing. so cutting myself some slack.

The home(s) you grew up in…. tell me the story.

To break through the writing ennui I ask “what can I do?” “what will be fun?” My guidance said draw them; which means opening up my cad* program to build in plan form all the floor plans of my childhood homes (ages 0-14). Zillow becomes my friend.

There are markers in your life.

The Befores.

The Afters.

The house at…

486 Irving Ave.
The River House.
The Osborne Lane House.
480 Irving Ave House.

Four houses in New Jersey.

Five house in Florida (ages 14-18)… Every move is tied to money. Being broke, making money, having money, losing money, borrowing money. The cycle repeating itself over and over again.

All the houses gift me their before and after stories.

When you go back into the past you’re excavating memories. Each house has a story to share about family, love, money and power. Those childhood houses spoke their messages to me. Laying the foundation for the story aka memoir.

In your life there may be a theme present to each house you’ve lived in… there may be joy. There may be soul loss. A theme will emerge. For me it’s around belonging, connection, safety, isolation and abandonment.

When I start writing there are bits and pieces scattered through the years… of writing then stopping. 20,000 words here. Digital journals there. Making my way through it.

At times the content became too much for my psyche and Word program so I edited and sorted all of the digital content into Scrivener.​

At 150,000 words there’s enough content for two books; the “shitty first draft” is done, and now being distilled. So yay!

The post The homes you grew up in…. first appeared on Michele Grace Design & Marketing.

For these times spirit gifted me the symbol of the Icebreaker ship that speaks to the energy of this moment.

An “Icebreaker ship” creates the path forward for other ships to move through the frozen waters. “For a ship to be considered an icebreaker, it requires three traits most normal ships lack: a strengthened hull (body), an ice-clearing shape (idea), and the power to push through sea ice (frozen emotions).”-Wikipedia

You are asked to create the forward movement…. Trust. Ask. Listen.

After the election you may be asking yourself what will it take for me to create that forward movement?

Even when things seem bound up and frozen;

To me it means you OWN what you came to teach and share.

Starting with small as f%ck baby steps.

You may be called to become the Icebreaker Ship for those in your community as a teacher | healer | coach | mentor.

Chaos. How to be a witness and not get sucked into the vortex.

We are Living in the Alchemy of Calcination witnessing the burning off of what no longer serves us…in calcination there will be chaos.

Calcination is the process of revealing the unconscious (one’s beliefs, concepts, opinions, wounds, fears, and phobias). A marriage counselor once shared in session “marriage is like a science project… you and your husband both must contribute. If one is too far ahead of the other or stops doing “the work” your task is to wait while the other catches up.” If you choose not to wait then you’ll get a divorce.

💜 I waited. He caught up. 💜

Right now I feel like we are all in one collective big science project. Some people have not done their inner healing work. Some people are in spiritual bypass acting as if they’ve done the work aka they’re better than everyone else. Then there are those who have been on the healing path who are shocked and horrified of what’s unfolding in the outer world.

It’s a mixed bag of this and that…and

Truth is I’m not liking the this and that. The split and dichotomy of the shadow is here now in the light of day now… what is the ask of this moment? What I do know is healing is not linear… it unfolds as I say YES! to my heart’s desire.

The places of the heart where you’re defending the calcinations– may be iced over emotional moments because of trauma- activated the last ten years. The last two weeks.

We are in a collective time of clearing and healing…know there are miracles in the ask too. The key for me is to not get caught up in judgment and perfectionism. “I shoulda,” “I coulda….” rather follow what feels light by asking “what is wanting to be created?”

Honor the timing, my timing. your timing.

I am hosting the 13th annual Initiate Retreat on Saturday December 7th where we activate your wishes aka plans for 2025. You’re invited to join me in a circle of heart-centered cohorts.

Perfectionism. Certainty. Helps to kill creativity. As we move deeper into Sagittarius- the sign of expansion the energy will shift. Begin to ask questions and play with what’s possible. Where am I living in the shadow of someone’s demand?

You may not have it all worked out. You may be questioning. What I’m asking is for you to show up and play with the Initiate Retreat 2025 doodles in a loving community, follow your lightness and begin to ask questions around what gives you joy.

What does it feel like to take a breath, and breath into your joy from that space of creativity?
What’s right about this I’m not getting?
What’s right about me I haven’t seen?

From that place you’ll start to slowly expand into the possibility that’s here.

The post 💫 How an Icebreaker Ship relates to the current moment 💫 first appeared on Michele Grace Design & Marketing.

Beautiful Reader…

Create like your joy depends on it.
BE the WayMaker.
It’s time.

January 29 at 7:36 AM there is a New Moon in the sign Aquarius. 24 hours before the new moon make a wish….write it down. draw it. activate the intention in some way to acknowledge your ask. Wishcraft.

In Aquarius we are called to serve our family, our community. This lunation is sounding a call, to share the gifts we carry in our hearts in a deeper way.

“As each person completes himself or herself and contributes what is authentic a new paradigm emerges, circularity.

At rest it is a circle and in motion a spiral. . . .If we think of nature as a circle then we are part of its reciprocity. Progress means interdependence. If we respect nature and each living thing as a microcosm of nature, we respect the unique miracle of ourselves. And so we come full circle. Limits gradually disappear.”- Gloria Steinem

Do you know that where Aquarius is in your birth chart you are called to be just plain weird to so called `normal’ people? A true Aquarius person never fits in with the norm. They are out ahead of the collective, making new ways, activating new frequencies.

How comfortable are you in `not fitting in’? If you call yourself a light worker then hop on the bus and stop trying to make yourself conform to a way that isn’t unique to you. I am talking to that part of you who sees new trends and unconventional approaches to life.

In Aquarius we can see the bigger picture, serve the larger world view.

All of us carry this spark of mind. At the Aquarius new moon you are called to acknowledge and activate your uniqueness. The talents, gifts and capacity you carry within as an original thought, idea, concept.

In an apparent upside down world your presence, your creativity is the gift to bring to your community, what is your joy in 2025?

If we all carry this unique Aquarius energy then where is it?

How do I find it?

It may be buried in what you most fear. Fear of embodying and embracing your power. Manifesting. Having your dreams become reality.

If you have a dream (big or small).

Figure out what you want to create, ask for the obstacles to reveal themselves…appreciate the resistance and don’t bully yourself to push yourself through the obstacle.

Reader I’m making different choices this year for myself and the “biz.”

One awareness I still love designing. Yet I had walked away from that gift for a number of reasons, there was grief attached. New aha’s showed up. I started asking “What would it take to produce design drawings for contractors and home owners?”

To kick off 2025 hubs and I decided to renovate the primary bathroom. The previous owner in took the wall down, installed glass block. Today the wall shower tile is failing, the slope in the shower is too steep and the tile floors she choose are too slippery. It’s a nightmare.

AND there is no door. When you walk into the bathroom you’re faced with looking at the toilet. It’s very awkward.

Over the holidays I redesigned the bathroom by turning the shower then reorienting the toilet at the end of the vanity so the shower is the focal point. With bid documents ready I reached out to three contractors for pricing. The 2nd contractor looked at my drawings asking “would you be willing to design and draw for me?”

Bingo. One of my joy wishes in 2025.

Your joy may be as simple as making a choice. Figuring out the obstacle and letting the magic start flowing again.

What gives me joy in 2025? Asking that question, asking my body I realized teaching lights me up, 1:1 sessions the way I structured them not so much.*

New Bold Dreams for 2025? To create art; to work in wood and clay, in the form of altar pieces. I always wanted to take wood shop. What would it take? That’s on my joy list in 2025.

I found renewed joy in designing spaces for people. Designing kitchens. That’s on my joy list in 2025.

What’s on your joy list for 2025? As you greet this first New Moon in Aquarius with Pluto in Aquarius on January 29th, dust off your joy list. Trust yourself and your vision.

With love,

PS You may want to work with the free Pluto in Aquarius journal prompt at this Aquarius New Moon. Pluto helps reveal that spark of joy that went into hiding because of judgment and shame. That joy spark is your weirdness and Pluto moving through Aquarius lights up the places you judged yourself as wrong.

I live on the Native Lands of the Apalachee Indians. I stand for LOVE for all. Black Lives Matter. Neurodivergent. LGBTQIA. Your creativity and presence matters. Your voice needs to be heard. I believe in the practical woo and science too. If you want to work with a fellow Renaissance Soul and WayMaker, I’m here for YOU! because one day what we “do and offer” will be the norm. Don’t be afraid to take the lead.

This may be a quiet week…as you get ready to gather for the holiday celebrations. As we wrap up our year may I make some biz-keeping suggestions….

Last year I started tracking subscriptions in my google calendar after a membership automatically billed me without notice. ARGH!! If you’re running a membership it’s a good business practice to set up an autoresponder telling a member it’s going to renew.

Now I set the tasks in my calendar 30 days ahead of renewal so the reminder pops up telling me the subscription is due in 30 days. This allows me to reflect on whether the subscription is still a yes, needs to be tweaked or even canceled.

Last month my Vimeo subscription was coming up for renewal… Vimeo hosts the videos for my courses. I overbought in storage (it’s in a little blue box on the left hand side)…yet Vimeo wouldn’t let me downgrade the subscription so I canceled it. Let it expire and then renewed at a much lower rate, saved $183.

Year End Biz-keeping Suggestions:

1. Revisit business programs (video, shopping cart, autoresponder, etc.) you use to see if you really need that much power.
2. Clean up your email list and let go of people who have unsubscribed. You’re making room for new ideas and people to invite into your community.
3. Reflect on your freebies are they still fresh or do they need to be tweaked. Put that in your calendar to work on.
4. Subscriptions: When you pay an annual bill at the same time make a task note in your calendar program to remind you a month before that program renews the following year. That gives you ample time to reflect on whether that software is meeting your needs or give you time to research new programs.
5. Off load files on your computer taking up hard drive space and port the files to the cloud or an external drive.
6. If you’re on WordPress go through and look at the plugins to see if they’re meeting your needs.
7. Go through files gathering up paperwork to shred at the end of the year. Get it up and out of your office.

May you have the grace and space to create in 2025…. by honoring the pathway you’ve walked to get to this moment.

Under the Sagittarius New Moon (12/1), the quest for the next 28 days is about accessing joy and taking risks.

This Saturday we enter a portal of time to….

Initiate your vision for 2025, asking:

What gives me joy?

• What do I want to create?
• What has heart and meaning for me NOW?
• How do I want to speak the medicine I carry into something tangible?
• What needs to be released for this to happen?

Did you know that in Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution (and then communism) shamanism was outlawed?*

Shamans killed.
Drums hidden.
Ancient methods of healing outlawed.

Shamans finally came out of hiding some eighty years later during the fall of communism in the 1990’s. You may be saying “that will never happen.” At this moment we don’t know how “the Othering” is going to play out.

My work as a shamanic teacher is teaching you how to come out into the world with your spiritual gifts, talents and capacities with ease and joy. Helping you heal from past trauma (this life and others) so you recognize your intuitive gifts from spirit while planting seeds of inspiration.

I will continue to do that work while carrying a drum and singing my healing songs. An important part of this endeavor is creating safe places for you (healers, teachers, mentors) to gather and speak your truth without fear of retribution.

Are we traveling together as allies? You have my back and I have yours. It’s important we care for each other. If you align politically with the latest winner in the US elections then we have a conflict. If you voted:

• To take away my rights as a woman, the rights of the LGTBQ community…marginalized people.
• For normalizing a felon and serial abuser (who’s now loading his cabinet with abusers)
• For a theocracy aka Project 2025- historically one of the biggest annihilators of astrologers, healers and witches.

That is your choice. Truth is my work is not aligned with your values.

Design Mom said it best so I’ll refer you to her article.

​Reader it’s time for my annual event and you’re invited to the Free Taster Session happening on the Taurus Full Moon.

The Initiate Retreat Free Taster aka Preview​
​Click here to listen

Let’s discuss the astrological energies of 2025…along with suggestions on moving forward within your personal and business life.

I’ll be talking about the energies of Pluto and Jupiter-Saturn. The task masters in your birth chart and how those signatures may be affecting your life and business.

There will be a shamanic healing-empowerment offered during the call to help you sink into the possibilities as we move together on this sacred blue marble called earth.

In the dark the LIGHT endures.
I will anchor that truth in the coming days.
I will anchor that LIGHT.
I will anchor LOVE.
I will not dim myself down.
I will not lower my voice.
I will go full blast.

Light. It. Up.

It’s time to dream your 2025 into being….even if it’s baby steps. Small-as-f$%ck actions that lead to something more…. The theme this year is Trust. Ask. Listen.

You have to hone in on your level of trust. No if ands or buts. Because when you trust yourself, you can ask…which creates space to listen and create.

The Initiate Retreat® is a 4-hour retreat held yearly in the Gemini New Moon energies. I create the doodles based on the energies of the moment, so they change up each year. If you resonate with what I share on the call Tuesday then join me and the Initiators.

The free taster session on the Full Moon Tuesday is the lead-in to the Initiate Retreat happening on Saturday, December 7 at Noon. Doodles to Design Your Year: a 4-hour virtual planning retreat for those who love thinking outside the box. Tuesday I’ll go over core concepts….

Here’s what’s been working and learning me the last week…

Aunt Dot’s been on my mind….in 1959 when I was three years old my great aunt died at the early age of 57 from ovarian cancer. She was the hell raiser in my very conservative methodist family.

Methodists were not allowed to smoke, drink, dance, play cards, watch movies, read the Sunday newspapers or go swimming on Sundays. The church commanded respect and the sabbath was to be kept: my great aunt was having none of it. She moved away at an early age marrying her beloved: a college professor.

Her diagnosis came out of nowhere and death was going to be quick. There was a lot of discussion on whether Aunt Dot would get into heaven from the Aunties. The Aunties justified their position with the bible quote “it’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

My rebellious-smoking, drinking, card playing mother argued this belief was archaic, cruel and judgmental to heap upon her aunt- a kindhearted soul. A woman, mother, sister, aunt who was facing death and leaving her children and husband. Aunt Dot never gave in to the sisters’ demands. Living her own life to the end of her days.

My grandmother’s attitude colors my world at the moment in light of the recent election. Like you I’m finding my way through all of it. As with the pandemic my helping allies are saying “TEACH everything you know” opt-in for joy and creativity. That is how I’m approaching my work in 2025.

Every time Pluto change of signs…collectively we are in “an eye of the needle moment.”

Pluto re-enters Aquarius on November 19, 2024…What does that mean for you personally, for your community and collectively? How does that connect you to creativity and joy?

When Pluto is on you it’s like entering the eye of the needle. There is an ask to let go…so you can move forward in a new way…. honing in on what really matters.

When Pluto changes signs that “honing in” energy is amplified.

Pluto in Aquarius for the first time in 248 years. He will stay there until 2044. It’s going to be a long slog through Aquarius. Let’s anchor in joy and creativity. I’ll talk more about that at the free taster. If you have any questions just hit reply.

With love,

I live on the Native Lands of the Apalachee Indians. I stand for LOVE for all. Black Lives Matter. Neurodivergent. LGBTQIA. Your creativity and presence matters. Your voice needs to be heard.

Big hello Reader,

Taking the summer off to write my memoir….led to the truth of needing more time.

The first two months I write nothing…sitting in freeze mode. then flipping it and giving myself permission to not write.

Not do anything. I’ve worked steady since the age of twelve. Entrepreneur since 24. The “business ME” feeling like she’s always doing. so cutting myself some slack.

To break through the writing ennui I ask “what can I do?” “what will be fun?” My guidance said draw them; which means opening up my cad* program to build in plan form all the floorplans of my childhood homes (ages 0-14). Zillow becomes my friend.

There are markers in your life.

The Befores.

The Afters.

The house at…

486 Irving Ave.
The River House.
The Osborne Lane House.
480 Irving Ave House.

Four houses in New Jersey.

Five house in Florida (ages 14-18)… Every move is tied to money. Being broke, making money, having money, losing money, borrowing money. The cycle repeating itself over and over again.

All the houses gift me their before and after stories.

When you go back into the past you’re excavating memories. Each house has a story to share about family, love, money and power. Those childhood houses spoke their messages to me. Laying the foundation for the story aka memoir.

In your life there may be a theme present to each house you’ve lived in… there may be joy. There may be soul loss. A theme will emerge. For me it’s around belonging, connection, safety, isolation and abandonment.

When I start writing there are bits and pieces scattered through the years… of writing then stopping. 20,000 words here. Digital journals there. Making my way through it.

At times the content became too much for my psyche and Word program so I edited and sorted all of the digital content into Scrivener.​

At 150,000 words there’s enough content for two books; the “shitty first draft” is done, and now being distilled. So yay!

The Sun moves into Scorpio tomorrow, details below. I am also hosting the Initiate Retreat: Doodles to Design your 2025 coming up in December which I’ll be sending out more information next week. Stay tuned.

With love,

​

​

The Sun enters Scorpio tomorrow, Tuesday October 22nd at 6:14pm Eastern. In mid-November Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio will be leaving the sign Capricorn where he’s been traveling since 2008. When the Sun moves through Scorpio it is about letting go. When the Sun moves through Scorpio and meets up with the Moon (aka the Scorpio New Moon) it ACTIVATES long hidden emotions. That’s happening November 1st.

The deep mucky, shi#$5ty stuff from the depths of our psyche. It’s a good time to excavate emotions stuck in your mental, emotional and physical body. The ask is to surrender them. To let go. Embracing the death of the old way to birth the new.

What are you ready to harvest so you can plant great intentions next spring? Change (death of the old way) may seem at first painful and scary. You’re invited to dig deep while the Sun moves through the sign Scorpio. Expect breakthroughs. Whether you are a coach, a healer, a teacher or maybe a candlestick maker as women we are emerging as a stand for change.

Save the Date: The Initiate Retreat is happening on Saturday December 7th, 2024 from Noon to 4pm. Now in it’s 13th year it’s Doodles to Design Your Year: a 4-hour virtual planning retreat for those who love thinking outside the box. I’ll be sending out registration details next week.

Cleaning up an old website…. culling and editing for a writing project and found this gem in an old blog post.

By this point I’d been blogging and teaching the new moon teleclass online for seven years.

It’s 2010 and some “astrologers-who-blog” are getting together for a blog-a-thon; I ask to join and get rejected…

“I visited your site, lots of visual appeal, but New Moon SoulCollage® is not exactly the sort of practical, problem-solving tool I had in mind.”

I’ve never fit the norm.

Sometimes they won’t get you.
You’re out too far ahead of them.
That doesn’t make you wrong.
That doesn’t make them right.

Innovate. Anyway.
No matter what.
Follow those creative inspirations.
Trust what’s coming through.

I see you.
We need your voice.
Your presence.
Your tender heart.
Your creative musings.

In times of chaos
it’s the artists and edge dwellers
who offer up the healing solutions.

The post A Journey with Rejection first appeared on Michele Grace Design & Marketing.

Two weeks after breaking my ankle and subsequent surgery I hobbled into Ellen’s healing room.

A month prior Ellen, on a healing quest to cure her breast cancer leaves Fort Lauderdale, travels to Esalen Institute in California to meet with Don Oscar. Fun fact, Don Oscar lives up the road in Palm Beach, Florida.

Hobbling into the room on crutches a beautiful altar is laid out on the floor… the air is buzzing. Teetering trying to keep my balance with the ankle still in a cast. “Look here” the shaman says, “right between my eyes, now don’t look away.”

Taking swigs from one of the bottles he spit-sprays the liquid elixir mist all over me as the scent of flowers fills the space within and around me.

Staring at me he says “You have trained with many people of power, now it’s time for you to carry your own medicine bag.”

The next session the power song starts flowing through me as gifts to clients during their soul retrieval sessions.

A decade after the “index card experience” my helping ally- one of the names on the index card- tells me it’s time to learn heart centered shamanic Depossession, so I travel to Wisconsin to be in the circle.

I’m also here to visit the Indian mounds. They’re calling me. After checking into my room, putting the suitcase on the bed I look out the window as the sun is setting…. The deep indigo blue-sky contrasts with the dusty rust-golden colored wheat field.

WHAM.
It’s the EXACT SAME LANDSCAPE SCENE as the painted index card.
Whoa. Que the Twilight Zone music.

Everyone’s buzzing with excitement as we exit the bus at the effigy mounds. I walk up the path with reverence, quietly singing and rattling… before I know it, I’m walking in two worlds…I’m also seeing water and hearing the words “What happened to the water?”

In the “LONG Before” I’m seeing the verdant green mounds are surrounded by water; there are hollowed-out boats arriving for the rituals and celebrations. There’s dancing, singing and drumming. So much joy. When it’s time to leave the mounds that day I give thanks for the visions, the spirits of the land and the gifts bestowed.

Later that evening the teacher asks the circle to set up an experiential representation of the mounds in the meeting room. Everyone takes their assigned place…

The room is pitch dark, there’s only candlelight on the altar.

My ally says, “why is no one singing?”

“You’re representing the 13th moon.”

I’m standing on the 13th mound. 13 mounds representing the 13 moons. As I rattle…. a song is rising… I question….

“NOW, really?”

“YES! SING”, she replies. Sing the song of the “LONG Before”…. into the future.

Throwing off my cloak of anonymity… I feel someone next to me; my eyes slightly open as the teacher puts her recording device at my feet.

After the session I’m buzzing with energy…expanded. Other people in the circle are now coming up touching me. It’s uncomfortable.

The next morning the teacher asks if I’m willing to set up the experiential mound in the meeting room again this evening using my recorded “LONG Before” power song.

“No, that’s not going to work for me.” Even though she’s disappointed I hold firm to the boundary.

“People are asking for the song. Can I release the song to the students who are here?”

“Can you teach me how to unhook from people psychically reaching in while listening to the power song?”

My question is met with silence. It’s a big NO.

Now fifteen years later I understand it’s all a dance; I’m learning the steps as a newbie medium, how to hold a clear yes and a clear no. My energetic body was not ready to hold that space for others, that will come with time.

Within a year I’m singing power songs and sending them out into my community at each new moon. Playing in the “Long Before.”

Yesterday I learned from a Facebook post that the effigy mounds thousands of years ago, in the “Long Before” were indeed surrounded by water.

In Aquarius you are called to be the pioneer… to gather up our stories… from the “there and then” and the “here and now”; these are seeds asking to be planted. The world needs the power of our songs.

I am the One who is an Interstellar Magi dancing in the “LONG Before.”
