Hi friends, Sometimes the most powerful prompt is the one we're most strenuously avoiding. What is it you DON'T want to write about today?? Join me at 2 PM EST today for Conversations with the Goddess....a safe and sacred time to listen and write from within. You can always share what you don't want to write about then! 😂 Here's your....ZOOM LINK!

The Right Now I Am class today was crazy powerful! So many moments with my jaw on the floor, goose bumps, (so many) tears, laughter! This is the true medicine y'all. We can't do this with AI--we create and heal in community with our messy humanity in safe space together. Thank you @Mina Smith, @Beth Jasper, @Susan Buniva, and @Cate Fitt for your incredible writing...I'd love if you'd be willing to share! Here's an excerpt from what I wrote this morning: Honey, YOU are your own inner parent and have the loudest and most powerful voice inside you. You can't be scolding and belittling your own inner children! Don't make them cry and cower. Reassure them that they are safe and loved unconditionally. When you remember they are there, when you see them, you go soft with love. Gently take the wheel and steer the ship towards safety, love, and acceptance. If you want to do your own 10-minute Right Now I Am, I'd love you to share it here with us! [photo of a wildflower bouquet I made this afternoon!]

I was recently introduced to the book "Your Word Is Your Wand" by Florence Skovel Shinn written in 1928. How perfect for us spellcasters and storytellers at Writing Fire---especially since my latest passion is collecting vines and sticks from the woods for making magic wands!! “Your word is your wand. The words you speak create your own destiny," writes FSS. I believe this to be true 100% even though I forget at least once nearly every single day 😂! Today I will use my words as my wand to say: All of the pain, suffering, and struggles of my past are absorbed and composted into the earth to bloom into powerful stories and a beautiful future. What words are you using as your wand today?? (Photo below of some of the Spirit Sticks + Magic Wands I've been making recently-- my Dad made the wand with the circle on top for me in my early 20's💘 💘)

On my substack this morning, I wrote about learning to speak a new language, the language of nature! https://valleyhaggard.substack.com/p/an-exquisite-new-language What languages are you learning? The language of music? Body language? The language of car engines or electricity or water? English is fascinating but it doesn't have the final word! Join me today at 11 AM EST for Right Now I Am--a practice of allowing language, our thoughts and our words help us arrive in the present moment!

What a remarkable Conversations with the Goddess workshop we had today! I drew the Sedna card (Inuit Eskimo and Alaskan Goddess of the Sea) from the Goddess Guidance Oracle deck not once, but twice--and everyone's writing about infinite supply was beautiful, kismet, and connected. I'd love to share a tiny excerpt of my writing here and invite @Cate Fitt, @Susan Buniva, and @Erin N to do the same! Goddess, it has recently come to my attention that things in my life are not happening on my time-table, nor are they going according to plan. My plan, at least. I did not plan to be down for the count for 6 weeks nor to keep experiencing more f-ing growth experiences. Please advise. Your confused devotee, Valley Jane Dear Valley Jane, Goddesses are forged through the fire, not on the beach drinking mai-tais. Sedna found her power through the forced surrender of her deepest pain, creation is born from the destruction of what came before. Please release your old ideas about time or plans--clinging to them will only slow you down. Let go or be dragged! It's always right now now now where everything is perfect already because you are the soul you came here to be, in a constant state of becoming. Honey, give yourself grace for showing up in human form--a notoriously difficult situation to inhabit. You got this. Love always, G. Please join me for more Convos with the Goddess next week, 9/1 at 2 PM EST. Add to your calendar here! XOXO, Valley Jane
