I will share a bit about myself through the name of my website: Circle of Sage. I chose this name when my children were very young. I was learning to parent without punishment, to parent in love. Simultaneously, to re-parent myself in love. To re-member who I am. And to live this Truth. I believe everyone wants to be seen primarily with best intentions, as who we ARE, at our core--it's our common spark.
I was re-membering what love from the Earth, in the form of healing and nutrition, looks like. I was using Young Living essential oils for health, sick care and prevention, emotional clearing, boo-boo care, etc. I was re-learning to cook from scratch using whole foods, without gluten, and primarily vegetarian.
I had forgotten who I was for a very long time, replaced by beliefs like "sinner," "not good enough," "performance," "should," etc. A collective story we all go through in various "individual" ways. I was brought up learning Bible stories, so it was natural for me to connect deeper meaning to old stories. In the Old Testament, the Israelites wandered in the desert for a very long time. When they were ready, they entered the Promised Land. A land of abundance. When they crossed the river Jordan, they took stones and created a circle to commemorate their freedom, and new life.
I named this site "Circle of Sage" because when I was ready, I re-entered the Promised Land of adequacy, abundance, self-acceptance, kindness, and compassion. I live who I am beyond what words adequately convey and correct mis-learned beliefs/assumptions (blind spots). This site honors living with intention, adequacy, and in the Love I am, you are, WE are. Live free. Re-discover the sage you are and reclaim your Promised Land.
Life is. You are. Be kind and gentle with yourself. Be.
Life is. You are. Be kind and gentle with yourself. Be.
