The landscape was beautuiful, the native american dance at the cochciiti peublo were very inspiriting .. all their dedication to rituals and family was inspiriing.  A huge shout out to Kate Jenkins for her stamina and focus… it was hot!   I checked out a retreat venue.. the Ojo which .. yes.. I will be hosting a reatreat at in 2025.  The art, the gallerise,  the culture.. I loved it all!  I'm still integrating it all and will be writing more about it on my blog over at Substack.  Soul Musings: Confessions of an Empowered Empath.  Check it out!   So as this podcast goes to air, we have moved into the sun sign of Leo. Leo is bold and reminds us to feel pride in our lives. The thing I love so much about Leo is that it brings us courage—courage to stand in our truth and courage to make changes. Change isn't easy but so needed at this time. Courage brings in the energy of the heart which helps to raise our vibration to make these changes from a loving perspective.
