self-sacrifice is one of a woman's seven deadly sins (along with self-abuse, self-loathing, self-deception, self-pity, self-serving, and self-immolation).

Our success already exists on a spiritual level; it's a matter of pulling it into the physical world.

Let's choose today to quench our thirst for the 'good life' we thinks others lead by acknowledging the good that already exists in our lives. We can then offer the universe the gift of our grateful hearts.

And what we can see if we look deep within is that the authentic self is the Soul made visible. Do not try to remake yourself into something you're not. Just try making the best of what God made. The sacred art and craft of nurturing our souls and the souls of those we love is Simple Abundance soulcraft. Begin today by turning on the Light.

Remember, no matter what life throws at us, we can always bake a cake!

One way of celebrating the Solstice is to consider it a sacred time of reflection, release, restoration, and renewal.

We're not meant to fit in. We're meant to stand out.
