I started out simply creating a one page blog, now I have become a resource for other women...Sacred Goddess Online.

Hi Women,

I'm so excited about this upcoming event called Women's HeARTS Transforming that I have co-created with some amazing women! It's this Sunday, Jan 21st at the beautiful YWCA downtown Vancouver.  I am totally jazzed about this event. There are so many fantastic happenings going on during this day. It will start with the angelic sounds of Theda Miller to open up our magical day, then Katherine Potter, our keynote speaker will lead us in an experiential activity, then off to various Expressive Arts workshops throughout the day,  and we finish with the wild vibrations of an powerful drum circle led by Neith Doffing. Plus, throughout the day you can dabble in a community mural, get a reading and check out the market of creative goodies.

it was really rainy out today so i couldn't go out for my walk. instead, i put on my bellydancing CD and danced my heart out. it was such a wonderful experience that i thought, hey, let's get a whole bunch of women together and do that! so that's what i'm wanting to do some time this year. probably after i've finally defended and published my thesis.

in the meantime, i'll keep on with my practice and my blog.

Hi folks,

It's so funny that it has taken me some time to work up the courage to create this blog. A blog about sharing and expressing yourself!! Kind of funny really! Anyway, I haven't been afraid to get out and take action on what I want to change.  First, I wanted to create a workshop to support women in their 30's because I saw a lot of women struggling to deal with all the societal pressures of that age - having the right career, being married or having children! There seemed to be this unwritten rule that your suppose to have one of these things by the time you are 30! But then I realized I wanted to make a bigger difference in all women's lives. So,  I've created a community project called Women's HeARTS Transforming!! I am really excited about it and amazed at what has happened since I started sharing it with other women.

So, I read my cyber-friend's change about creating a community of Urban Knitters, and while I am not a great or very committed knitter, I have spent time on road trips and camping adventures engaged in Wilderness Knitting. I agree: knitting should be performed in public. It reclaims a dying art and demonstrates how a form of art and craft is also a completely practical use of time and resources and something that can be done while also (1) conversing; (2) planning for change; (3) developing campaigns; and (4) building community, among other things. To steal from Wendell Berry, let us go down to the peace of Wild Knitters....
