Know you Rest in the Arms of the Wild . . . Always . . .

I am not who I was
or who I will be

I am simply that which I am
in the moment
in this breath

It is never far from my mind

that we are from another

place from which we return

But it is also
a remembering
that is often fraught with bumps

And niggles of yesterday
And pullings to tomorrow

I don’t know how mastery of this life
comes

I do know, that there is something greater than me
that I have a most difficult time remembering
to tap into

Not that I don’t know, because I do
But it’s that access, that tapping into,
That place that orchestrates my life

It is this place I think I am seeking
It is this place I think I want to know
It is this place where I find alignment

So I travel in the "unknown to man” place

The place prophets are allowed and revered
and the rest of us pretend we have no grip to
and I walk as if I don’t know.

But, I do.
I do know.
It’s keeping the link that is the work

once you find it.

And so my day is fraught again with purpose
the kind of purpose no one talks about
but seek in the office of therapists and healers

Looking for what they think is a better life
when really, all it is,
is touching down with your self

Finding that link
and knowing how to walk inside it…
and know it’s … your… power.

It is all there for us.
Everyone of us…
This is the secret kept from man

But when you know it,
Then it is a secret kept from yourself
A key you need to learn to use

A lock that can turn and open
to a new life
every day

Every moment
in this breath
now

That is the clear
and unadulterated
joy

The power of this moment.
It is the key
the opening

the secret you seek
that is with you all the time
it’s just a remembering
that is needed.

That is all …
That is everything …
That. is the power of the “I am”

And so I walk
knowing
seeking
remembering

and when I connect with my self
I feel it
and the littlest of little smiles
starts in my lips

and I kiss the knowing.
I feel it enter into my skin
And once again,

My power rises in me
in a way that is only known
when that which you seek
is found

and you realize,

You already knew … 

You were already the creator ...

You were already connected ...

You realize, 

that which you were seeking 

 was you.

Stay wild,

Being Grounded is the best way to Stay Protected

 

Being grounded is the best way to stay protected.

I was helping my Mom when she was ill and on her death bed. It was hard, long and very grueling. Every time I went into the hospital, I would surround myself with white light.

I wore a buffalo bone to ground me and used essential oils inside that to keep me protected from not only the germs, but also the intense feelings and emotions running amuck in hospitals, and all the other unseen things that are there.

And I’d pray in a sacred circle I would pull around me as I walked through the front doors in preparation for what was ahead. Often, things needed to be done quickly with little time to waste

There is a lot that goes on in life. I have learned, and did learn from that time, that one of the best ways to stay protected, is to stay grounded. I used smell, touch, visualizations, special jewelry and gemstones. Anything to help me along the way and in essence help my mother, my family and her doctors.

I know all these things help. Because they helped me.



So if you’ve lost your center or are having trouble getting your needs met, don’t think there is something wrong with you. It’s simply a call from your energy system that it needs support.

When you are afraid, Wild Woman Warrior - the first Wild Woman Freedom - is the best place to get your needs met. She’s located in the base of the Spine and is the colour red. She will help build your confidence and help you to feel at home in your body.

When in survival mode or feeling panicky, she’s your girl.

When you start to support this Wild Woman Warrior energy, you know what will happen? You will start to feel more confident and spontaneous. You will be able to reach out to someone. And you will feel the power of standing in your center.

There is nothing like knowing where you are, because when you know where you are, you know where to go.

“Wild Woman Warrior is a woman of great inner power, whose heart has experienced much life, and whose soul journey is for the greater picture of all who are here. She will carry you home, always”
          From Wild Woman Warrior in the Wild Woman Mystery Cards by Elizabeth MacLeod.

Your Wild Soul is having a conversation with you, whispering to you so you no longer have to carry the burden on your own.

The Wild Woman Warrior poster hangs on my wall behind me. I hold her in deep reverence. I wear her close to me when I need to stay grounded and centered. I smell her when I want to have help without thinking. I respect her knowing and her wisdom, for she knows the path.

I bow a sacred bow when she calls. I nourish her deep in my bones.

Unleash your Wild Woman 

Come Step into the Wild with Me . . . A Holiday Special just for you!

Beautiful Wild Woman...

My friend Sue Ann Gleason  said to me yesterday she's the type of person that buys these kinds of decks (angel and tarot decks) and leaves them on her book shelf and that keeps her from purchasing more. I thought a lot about what she was asking and her request for connection with me over the deck. She said that a 20 minute session with me would be a "no brainer". I thought a lot about this, and found myself wandering in this wonder-filled idea. And so I make a special holiday offer to you (and to you Sue Ann!)

I used to do the same thing, buy decks and keep them on my book shelf, and would have LOVED to talk with the creator or even anyone about how to do it or what they are about or even questions about me and using the cards to do it.

So here's the deal, if you buy a set of the Wild Woman Mystery Cards by Monday, December 15th, 2014, I will give you a 20 minutes with me absolutely free, where you can have a reading, or ask me any questions you like about the cards so they don't just sit on your shelf, but that you really REALLY use them. We can do this by skype or telephone or FB chat or even email. We will set aside a time together and just do it. Informal, sacred and profound. You and me.

 If this is you and you want these cards and would love to talk with me about them... then hit the link and make your purchase. When you get your confirmation of your order, just hit reply and say.. "Elizabeth, it's me, Wild Woman. When can we connect about the cards" or something to that affect and I'll set you up with a time. I'll know you are part of the tribe and have seen this offer, or have a friend who has told you about it and that's good too! Definitely spread the joy. It's open to all Wild Women.  How does that sound?

Go here to buy your Wild Woman Mystery Cards  now. Don't miss this rare opportunity! I can't wait to talk with you and share the cards with you ... and answer any questions you have. I'm so excited!

Go get them Wild Woman. Let's create magic together! (and yes, you can buy them for a friend. Just tell me who and I'll write up a little note telling her about her free 20 minutes with me.

What a great Christmas gift for your self or dear friend.

Thanks for asking Sue Ann. :) I think you spoke the words of many. Buy your deck here and get your free 20 minutes with me now.

Can't wait to hear your voice Wild Woman!

Yours in the wild,

With love,

~Elizabeth xo

One Great Way to Free your Wild Self from the Past

I finally landed in my new home by the sea..... It is unbelievable, and undeniably a crazy experience to MOVE! 14 years in one place, means so many precious treasures... but, none the less, an opportunity for letting go and opening into.... And let go I did... even a picture drawn of me by a street artist in Italy (pictured above) when I was 19 years old traveling with my mother by pack back. (I carried the pack!)

It was in her house since then and although I had it after her death for the past 10 and a half years, I never put it on the wall! So, after putting it aside, for a while, throwing other things out, some easliy and some a little more difficult... and not sure if it should go, as I neared the end of this journey at my old house and consciously knew I was opening to the new...

I asked myself... Is this yours.. or your mom's memory?

I smiled. It was partly mine... but it wasn't mine to hold onto. It wasn't my precious spot like it was to her.

and so... I took this pictures.... and...

I put it in the truck to go to the dump.

WOW. And I felt it. Emotionally. As if it was tangible. A conscious decision. A hard decision. A good decision. A decision filled with good-bye.

And yet, a loved decision. Filled with it. Appreciation abundant. And so, it is now gone...along with 2 truck loads of stuff to the dumpity dump! Have you ever done that?... Just let go! What a feeling. Not easy... lots of downs and end of the rope kind of emotions ... and yet, when done, it clears things out in a way you could now describe until it's done.

A brave release into the depths of my own Universe. A beautiful tribute to a life well lived and waiting for more to come. Opening into more beauty.

These were really my mothers memories... not mine. I mean, I did have the experience...but it wasn't the picture I had on my wall for many years... it was a picture SHE had on HER wall for many years.

We need to carry our own memories and keep with us what is dear to us... and not hold on to the memories that are dear to others. That is for them to do....

WHAT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL FREE?

When in doubt, ask yourself ... "Is this my memory, or someone elses'?"

Your answer will give you the direction you need to go.

Even if it means, letting go of something your mother or someone dear to you, loved doing with you. She'll still love you. And she wants you to have your own memories. Let yourself have your own memories. They feed you, nurture you, bring light to you...

Even if it means, sending it to the dumpity dump, dump!

In a magical moment... transformation swirls... and creation rings with truth …


Yours in the wild,

Move Wild Woman Move ... Here's Why!

Dear Beautiful Wild Woman . . .

In just a few short days, I'm moving to live by the sea…. I can hardly wait. And the animal life and the great huge stones and the moving Ocean Goddess just out my front door is so wild, it's like I'm right inside it.  And two Eagles live in the tall tree next door!) I feel like I'm being called home.

And, I'm going to miss my enchanted woods and all that I learned here from the wilderness of the forest, the bears, the deer, the rats and mice and chipmunks and little grass snakes scooting by (if they made it by my little lioness Reilly). It's so still, ancient, wise, and grounding in the woods. It was beautiful to be here. And so many wishes came true her on this land.  Must be because of all the urban sunflowers that grew so beautifully here ;) .

I have a new appreciation and love of trees as well. I feel like I am leaving my friends. I could tell you some cool stories . . . Remind me to tell you the one where the tree bent over for me one day. *sigh* such fullness. Being nurtured in the wild, there is nothing like it. I always felt like they were watching over me….And Reilly loved it too.They watched over her too. She's still here at 14 years old and being outside. Here she is, watching over 'her' land, keeping us protected and safe. Daisy always watched her out the window. And if she got out, Reilly would appear out of the blue from wherever she was in the forest and run in the door to get me so I would know. Looking after her family.  She looks so wise here, don't you think?!

----

There are so many treasures in our homes and so many you find when you pack up your home!

Taking this with me to my new home by the sea  … My niece made it for me when she was around 5 years old.

I had a beautiful black with a little bit of white cat named Caleigh at the time who she adored… Caleigh liked her too (me three!) . . . 

And when she gave it to me she said "I made it for you last year Lizzie, but I couldn't give it to you until now because I loved it too much"  ….. 

You know how when you move you let go of things and throw things out and start fresh… Well, I'm doing that, with many things… brutal throwing out… but then I came to this shelf…. and smiled a huge smile… so not with this little gem…She's coming with me!

---

And I keep finding these little gems as I pack up my home of 14 years and get ready to move on Tuesday… Here is my Mom's favorite cook book… the Joy of Cooking.

She gave one to me when I left home as I think many Mom's did back then . . .  but I kept this when she died because of all the things she kept inside… like… she wrote, "my favorite cookbook. Engagement gift from Mrs. MacLeod and Margaret (Muckie) . 1957."

 And she even wrote in the back of it that my brother Stuart was 61/4ft on March 5, 1976. And how to cook a turkey dinner for 24 people that she wrote about in 1966…

She did a lot of these kind of things… like we were suppose to find them. Like little treasures of her, many, many years later. I mean, really how does one throw this stuff out?

So, I didn't. She too, is coming with me. I will still  have 2 'Joy of Cooking' in my home. She didn't make the cut!

-----

There is something very special about moving ... something deep and timely, something wonder filled... something that takes you on a journey, no matter what you 'think' you are doing!

I get to remember, to forget, to let go, to attach. I get to find new ways, clear things out, and just say "fuck it" and throw it in the box, because I just can't do it anymore.

I get to go to bed and dream about newness. I get to walk around my home and feel gratitude for oldness.

I get to be excited about a new path. (Oh, the freshness I get to experience) And feel sadness about leaving my old one. (Like the day I felt sad when I realized that my Mom wouldn't know where I lived. She knew and loved this place and doesn't know the new one. She died 10 years ago. A new level of grief, unexpected and realized.

All of this. Every wild moment, seems to be an adventure, changing like the tides as I embrace my whole life, sort it in to boxes, and find it again when it's time to place it somewhere meaningful and full of love.

This is a time I get to reassess what's important to me, connect with what matters, and release any expectations.

Today, I think, maybe we should 'move' more often so we can let ourselves go wild inside and look around our home and see our wildness strewn all over the place! Yes, the wild ... she's everywhere. And when you are moving... she IS everywhere. In your house. In your bed. In your dreams. In your boxes. In your aching body. In your movement. In your exactness. In your lackadaisical mood. In your 'fuck it'. In your 'Oh, this is so cute, I have to keep it because I love it and how it makes me feel'.

*sigh*

The wild is having her way with me as I do what it takes to move homes. The home in myself is reassess. My heart gets opened and closed. My brain gets baked. My body gets overdone. My soul lights on fire. My spirit breathes a new breath. My voice sings many songs.

And although I'm tired with so much to do, I admit, the excitement ways out the stresses it brings to face your life in this way. I'm in love with my wild life. I love what I'm leaving. And I love where I'm going. And yeah, sometimes I'm not in love with the present moment, when I just don't know whether I should pack that 'thing' or not to pack that 'thing'... but in the end, the outcome is perfection as I continually birth anew.

And, I'm taking the lesson and gifts in...

Blessed be Wild Woman. Blessed be.

With love,

~Elizabeth

PS  ... And with all this that is happening... I just exported 15 ten minutes videos for my new online Wild Woman E-course that is coming up ... there really is something about 'moving' that really makes you move... on all levels!!!

Falling Face First in the Mud is the Messiest - And it's Where you Find this - That is if you are Brave

Wisdom.

It is for those whose faces fall flat in the mud and pulled themselves out. Those people who say things like…. oh' just let it go', 'if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger', or 'I just say to myself blah blah blah' blah'  ….    Tell these folks to take a hike.

For those of us who have tripped and had a hard time getting up again, with swollen ankles and scraped knees…. wounded hearts…  we know differently. We know we will rise again because we know the path, but we also know that we will be covered in the mud, face flat hardly breathing, driven into the kind of pain that rips you apart and takes the guts of your insides with it.

But we know, because we are still here, that we will rise up through the fire of hell on Earth. That there is something greater that helps us pull through....  But for those who live on the surface, in the grey zone, thinking they are happy and have it all figured out…. maybe they think they are doing it… but it's not true wisdom…They are the ones that  talk the talk but don't walk the walk….. Don't get confused by these people.

Wisdom is attained through being torn upside down and somehow coming right side up again. It comes from screaming and crying and holding on for dear life and letting go and falling down so fast and hard that you couldn't breathe when you hit the floor. Bam! With a gasp that barely finds air.

What I've learned has come from broken hearts, scraped knees, tornadoes of the soul and deflated spirit. It comes from falling down a hole so big I couldn't find my way to the stairs to get me up. It's come from not knowing a thing anymore because the floor was ripped away from my feet just when I needed it most. It comes from not knowing how to love again when my heart has been smashed beyond repair. And it comes from rising, when I didn't think I could. From being brave enough to find where it's safe again. From letting someone hold me in my most vulnerable places. From allowing my self to be seen, even if I felt as if I was going to die from it.

This is what guts are made of. Guts of the soul. Guts of life. Guts of bravery. Guts of a flaming heart. Guts of a Wild Woman.

And I wouldn't change it. I wouldn't change it because it made me who I am and what I love about where I've arrived and who I've become. I know that everyday I'm becoming … even more. It is a journey without destination.

But had someone told me some words of empty so-called wisdom... when my face was down in the mud, covered in dirt and missing a shoe I would have known they hadn't passed through the initiation into their own life. That they were living a fantasy from which they felt they should rise, not from where they actual rose. That their falseness had no place in my blatant reality.

You see, the thing is… you can feel it when a person says they know or when they have the ability to just be with you, and see you. Trust this knowing, even face down in the mud...or rather because you are face down in the mud.

I might think I want to be 'fixed' or to allow it to just pass by, but who would I be with out the dark night of the soul. It has brought me deep into the depths of my life, deep into the places that can only be reached when you trip on your path or find yourself, bum flat, heart burning, tears aching. It's then  the you that you are becoming finds her way onto her path like no one could ever tell you… and it's then that all that you need comes to you, because you are where you are suppose to be. How could I have ever written the Wild Woman Mystery Cards, without first being face down in the mud, covered by the earth, and buried in pain, traveling the trenches, seeking that which I needed to find and then pass it along?

How could I have loved my self now, had I not been real about what I was feeling?

I admit, I have been fortunate to have the best friends. Without them, I don't know if I would have made it through some of the rights of passage in my life…. but ultimately, I also know, it's what I needed to allow me to step into my destiny, with fervor and peace and excitement… cause I know, what it's like on the other side.

As one of my Shaman teachers said to me one day while working together "With that much pain, there is much joy on the other side." She said it just at the right moment. After tears that could fill the universe and anger that could rip out a heart. But I knew she knew. I could see it in the light in her eyes, in the conviction of her tone, in her wise timing with me, and the smile on her face. A compassion filled with hard won wisdom and knowing. It was real. Her words had teeth. Her wisdom reached inside. She knew.

Know this Wild Woman ... Be brave. Do what is right for you. Honor all those places and don't let even one person skim over it like it was the cream on the latte. It is not. It is hard and not to be skimmed over like it never happened and hidden like you can't say it. No. It is what it is. No lies. No fantasy. It's real.

Be brave. Let your self feel your reality and know it is where hard won wisdom is born.

Seek those who also have mud and guck on their faces from the depths of the journey and lived in the horror of some strange freak turn in their life. It's those people you want to be part of your tribe.

They are the ones that have the compass.

With love.... real, deep love.... 

Love,

~Elizabeth xo

What Does your Wild Heart Need? Here's a Simple Way to Find Out.

Summer is here. The sun shining. The moon over head sliding down into the ocean at night. What do I need? I ask my wild heart. What else do I need?

I move over to the Wild Woman Mystery Cards. Its been such a hard week. I was hit with a major SPAMMER/SPAMMERS that took down the on-line store and spammed me, my on-line store and my emails until the cows came home. It was so brain draining and highly stressful. But as I get it all together again, and all back to normal, I wonder, what do I need to heal after such an assault on my virtual on-line home? Because it is a home . . . filled with passion, love and a tribe I adore.

I feel lazy after all the brain drain and being on the computer, so I go over to my website to see which card comes forward to answer my question…. "What do I need to heal after such an assault on my passion?"

I receive Wild Woman Home!!!!!  Okay, I smile in the 'rightness' of it all. Couldn't have been a better card. The spammers assaulted my on-line home, my sanctuary and passion, a place where the wild thrives. They hit my heart. I'm tired, worn out, and brain dead. Feeling like I need a Staycation as my friend Michelle would say!

But the card is PERFECT!

"Do not take your life for granted" the card says. That is what I really got from this card. Not only do I need to just chill in my home, but, I need to really appreciate all the goodness around me. Somehting like these spammers, wasn't even on my radar, so they showed me how grateful I am for what I have and what I am surrounded with. They also helped me protect my home well, as now, they can't get through. *Big sigh of relief* 

Today, I want to ask you… with all you've done and been through in your week, what do you need?  Ask your wild heart to speak to you. 

Take a deep breath. 

Center your self. 

Set your intention. 

Ask "What do I need?" 

Now . . . 

Click here to find the Wild Woman Mystery Card for you 

(a new card will appear each time you reload the page so you can do this anytime)

Read the card. 

Ask yourself… how does it fit? 

Tell us in the comments below . . . 

For me, I am taking it to heart. I'm going to stand in a shower and cleanse and release, and then draw a bath, crawl in and let myself remember internal kindness. After all the spamming and the sheer questioning of why anyone would want to do something like this to little ol' me in the grand scheme of cyber space . . . I mean, who am I to them? 

I quickly realize however, it doesn't matter. It's done. I learned A LOT. They became teachers for me actually if the truth be told. One was, that I could in fact fix it….another in that, I really learned a lot about the back end of all the stuff that happens and how to make it even better, as that's what these things do…and I got this card to remind me, how great it all is in the larger scheme of things.

And my on-line home now is very secure, safe, loving and filled with beauty even more! Thanks  spammers of the universe. Now, on you go, Time to leave. We have things to do in the land of the wild. You are no longer welcome here.

And as I soak . . . I am going to remember internal kindness. Follow my bliss. One of my bliss spots, is the bath tub . . . and take a good book, some music, and some pink lemonade, and let myself come back home to myself. 

This card really fit for me. Home. Couldn't have been a better call back into my self and making my virtual on-line home a safer place too. Really makes me feel gratitude for the little things, for where I live and who is in my life, and for the amazing virtual circle in which i live as well. It is "Precious and wanted" 

Now it's your turn….

Sending you lots of wild love,
