My Guiding Word for 2013

I spent this morning near the sea photographing a goddess who is rising her Queen. We sat on a blanket before I picked up my camera and did a wee tarot card reading. We spoke of gratitude, releasing, and taking ownership of our own shit. What I am really wanting... Continue reading
