Is it time to gather your bones
and hear your unique and beautiful song?
Firstly, thank you and welcome to new subscribers, both paid and unpaid. You are very welcome here and I’m delighted you have joined us.
My contemplation this week is how life is rarely a linear path. If you have been weaving many threads and only now starting to see the actual picture, then I see you.
So I am wondering: Are you this woman or do you know her?
You’ve probably spent the first third of your life living by experimentation, screwing up and learning the ‘hard way’. Or at least it felt like that. And so (possibly as you hit your 40s) you stepped back, and have been taking time to reflect - what worked, what didn’t, was it all just bumping into things or have you actually gathered a heap of wisdom on that winding path? You’ve likely been asking yourself, ‘who am I now’ and ‘what do I really want to do with this one wild and precious life”?
It might look there is an enormous mountain between you and the answer to that question.
On the outside, it may seem like you’ve left it too late. Or as my mother so eloquently put it the other day, “you seem to have done a lot of things, but you’ve never really settled to a profession, have you?” Thanks mum!
But what if our timing is actually perfect. What if you, like me, are a late bloomer, designed to come into your own in the third phase of life? What if we weren’t supposed to have the answer to our one wild and precious life until now? What if we trusted that the twists, turns and ‘doing a lot of things’ were wisdom-gathering rather than failure, and now we know what matters most, we can act in alignment with that. Now we can move the mountain. Now we can become the role model for others.
I felt called to create the Moving Mountains Journey specifically for women who are crossing that bridge from reflection to role model, and moving their inner mountain along the way.
It is a 13 week journey through the elements of Human Design that can specifically and practically guide us across that threshold, using the story of La Loba, the gatherer of bones, as a framework and a container for the work.
La Loba has been a guiding light for me since I first read Clarissa Pinkola Estes’ Women Who Run With the Wolves. It is a story that really speaks to this journey of finding the bones of who we are, curating and arranging them in the cave of contemplation, listening for that unique song that is ours to sing and then running from the cave as the rebirthed wolf that transitions into the laughing woman, full in the sovereignty of her being and knowing.
And when I started my depth studies of Human Design and the Gene Keys, I could see that those bones were right there in our chart. As clear as the skeleton of a tree on a bright winter’s day, and as unique as an oak is from a willow. I found my song in my Design and my natural way of being (and the fears, shadows and challenges, superpowers and gifts). The more I discover the ‘me’ in that chart, the more I love who I have always been (and now recognise) and the ‘me’ who is evolving into the guide for others on the rocky path of becoming themselves.
I am truly excited about bringing this Journey to those who are ready for it. And it feels so important to be offering it right now, when the world needs its wise, late-blooming, sovereign women (and men) to hold the space for higher levels of courage and consciousness.
So are you this woman? Are you ready to join me at the Spring Equinox on March 20 to embark on this journey?
Or do you know her? If you do, please let her know. This might be the very thing she has been waiting for.
The next step: book a call so we can discuss in more detail and be sure it is the right fit for you, right now.
Still uncertain? Check out my Moving Mountains page, which will help you clarify if this is for you.
All calls are confidential and exploratory. You only commit when you know in your bones it is the right journey and the time is now.
Until next time… when I think it will be time for peek into my ever-growing bedside book pile. What are you reading this week and would you recommend it?

For your mum: I was fortunate to find a profession in my earliest stumblings. But it did not change the general shape of the journey.
“was it all just bumping into things or have you actually gathered a heap of wisdom on that winding path?” Yes, and hopefully. :-) Even with a good job, some things still became precarious (marriage law being what it is), and there has still been a lot of bumping into things. I expect to keep bumping. :-)
