Editorial This Game Issue is an expression of my gift for interactive art and ceremonies. I wanted to celebrate Earth Mother for Earth Day this year, and when I listened, this is what she whispered: “Find your Fabulousity!”

Maria Mar

This issue has an integrative, healing intention. Sure, you’ll have lots of fun finding your Fabulousity with the self-assessment game. You’ll be inspired with the beautiful nature images. But underlying the experience is a process of healing the separateness that isolates us from nature and throws us in a state of abandonment and orphanhood. It is this isolation that steals your Goddess, leaving you to feel that you are not enough.

As you read and play, allow yourself to reconnect to Earth Mother in all her faces and elements. As you do, you will begin to find and feel the Goddessess that live in you and the ways in which you share their elemental gifts and powers. Your Fabulousity will reawaken and you will feel that you are perfect for your purpose.

This allows you to own your greatness. To see you there… that’s my bliss!

Shine from Within You irradiate a beauty that comes from the depth of your soul. It emanates kindness, joy and gratitude.

Your Fabulousity is a state of grace that you share, shining your essence upon everything you touch. Trust it and know the beauty you irradiate outshines appearance because it is the very essence of beauty.

Honor your Fabulousity by sending an Inner Smile to your organs and systems, spreading your grace throughout your being for your own wellbeing.

Perfect for your Purpose You are perfect for your purpose just as you are right now, thorns and all.

Do you ask the rose to drop its thorns before you praise its perfection? No, because every part of it is perfect for its purpose.

So are you. Your Fabulousity is like the perfection of the rose, it stems from your

experience, talents and passion and each part of you serves a purpose and adds to your extraordinary idiosyncrasy.

Honor your Fabulousity by loving and accepting yourself unconditionally, without judgment, jus as you are right now, and understanding how each part of you helps you fulfill your purpose.

Exuberant Expression You’ve been repeatedly told that you are “too much.” The next time you hear this, know that what the person means is that they don’t feel enough in comparison to you, and that’s their problem. Do not shrink your stature to please others. Give yourself permission for your gorgeous Fabulousity. Be your authentic self, for you are the exuberant expression of the vibrancy of life in all its joy and passion.

Honor your Fabulousity by allowing your spontaneous expression, your intuitive connection and your eye for what matters to enrich your environment. Even those who may feel intimidated at first will come to benefit from being touched and awakened by your exuberant expression.

Bright Bouquet You have this delightful ability to spread love and joy and to include others in celebration.

You are rarely alone. Rarely do you take credit by yourself, for you always share it and invite others to shine.

Understand that your Fabulousity is like the rainbow colors of a flower bouquet with many brightly colored, joyful flowers.

Honor your Fabulousity by making sure that in your community building and sharing, you benefit ~that you don’t pit what you do for others against your own benefit. Understand that just as what you do for others benefits you, what you do for yourself benefits them.

Exotic Exceptional You are an elegant expression of beauty, mastery and creative genius.

Don’t try to blend in, please! That’s not your Fabulousity style!

You are seen as rare or exotic, and may be intimidating to those who want to blend with the wallpaper. But don’t be tempted to do it. Toning yourself down would not be of service to others.

Your Fabulousity lies precisely in your rare perspective, your blend of elegance and instinct that comes from a deep well within you. You love the old places and people with their stories, and yet you paint them in fresh new colors. Honor your Fabulosity by embracing your distinctiveness.

A Miracle Worker You have a tough purpose and passion, to bring beauty and love to the most desolate. You may bring art to oppressed groups, joy to the depressed population, hope to sick children. Your Fabulousity is being a miracle-worker.

Be careful, however, that this beautiful purpose does not translate in your personal life into being a caretaker to friends and family who do not value your gifts or having a spouse or partner whose weight you must carry and who does not support you. Honor your Fabulousity by getting the support and recognition you need and deserve.

Soul Gardener You are an inspirer and a soul healer.

Your Fabulousity is subtle, yet powerful.

Every day you uplift, inspire and motivate those around you; whether your family, friends, students or clients~ to live a better life, to see the beauty of this world and to feel supported and deeply loved.

You spread gratitude! You may do this through talents and gifts that sometimes do not seem as vital as “saving lives” or as practical as “teaching skills.” It is essential, however, that you know the value you bring to others and that you own the transformation you bring to the world. Make sure that you charge what you are worth!

Honor your Fabulousity by celebrating your own beauty and goodness and by replenishing your own source of inspiration. Inspirers need double inspiration every day!

Also make sure that you are clear about how your gifts make this world better. The Sacred Feminine teaches that the internal processes in our emotions and soul are the source of the greatest miracles.

Know the miracles you grow in your garden!

The Goddess in the Flowers

Anne Gudrun “I always wanted to be an artist when I grew up. From a very young age I loved to draw and create. As a child I lived in the magical world of my imagination and was inspired by the beauty in the natural world around me.

And then I went to school...�

It was grade one and the teacher asked all the kids what they were going to be when they grew up. The boys were going to be firemen, policemen, and doctors. The girls were going to be mothers, nurses, and teachers. I didn't hear anyone saying artist... I didn't want to say the wrong answer... so when it came my turn to speak I said - nurse.

11

Anne Gudrun, artist, author and visionary guide Wearing her wearable art while standing in front of her art entitled Roses.See more at: http://www.annegudrun.com

In my life I've been a nurse, a teacher and a mother, but in my heart I never let go of my dream. It was a secret that I kept to myself. I wanted to be an artist. I wanted to be ME. To live each day creatively and as an expression of who I am was my deepest desire.

www.dreamalchemist.com

Since I was five years old I imagined myself as an artist, yet it became a secret dream I kept inside when life experiences took me down other paths. For many years the dream seemed so far away... It felt like a long, lost child that I knew in my heart was still alive. I had to trust that the dream would find it’s way home.

I decided to follow my heart... And I realized that my life was a mirror of my inner Being. As I listened to my heart and honored my truth and desires, I began creating my life from the inside out. When I began living in alignment with my true self, I made my dreams a reality. I transformed my inner essence into my art.

Each one of us is creative at our core. To cultivate our creativity we need to nurture ourselves and connect with our spirit. As we become aligned with spirit we connect with our essence, uncover our gifts, and experience more peace, love and beauty in our world.

Where are you in life’s cycles of creativity?

Your gift is your purpose. When you live authentically to your truth and share your gifts with the world, then you are living your life's purpose.

The ‘Little Book of Big Dreams’ describes my creative process and includes the 21 Day Dream Journey; a guide for living your dreams.

The element of water is the power of emotions, the Goddess that lives in your womb and your song.

1

Wave of Transformation

You are a force of nature, and to be in your presence is to be immerse in the state of transformation.

2

Treasures in the Deep

You bring movement, change, a dynamic sense of meaning and excitement into the life of your people; be it your family, friends or your Tribe.

You are transparent and tranquil and sometimes people may confuse this with a lack of passion. Nothing further from the truth. Your treasures are buried in the depth of the transparent, tranquil waters of your soulful being.

You came here to help effect BIG transformation to this world; and your Fabulousity is deeply link to your power and fearlessness to speak your truth, call it as it is, face the unknown, take risks, be willing to change in order to grow and inspire others to do the same.

You observe without drama and participate without demanding the spotlight. But you hold a magical treasure of visions, revelations, beauty and insights in the depth of your emotional wisdom, freely available to those who take the time to know you.

Honor your Fabulousity by accepting yourself as you are, without trying to tone yourself down or confine the power of your waves to fit other people’s limitations. Perhaps you can discern when a person or situation is ripe for change or when to stay still. But never constrict your expansiveness.

Honor your Fabulousity by knowing the power in your presence and trusting those beautiful treasures in your heart. And while you don’t need to rock the boat in order to attract attention, be sure that you are not hiding under a cloak of invisibility.

Allow your light to shine through.

Be bold, be brave, be YOU!

www.dreamalchemist.com

3 Healing Presence You are an embrace of clear, blue water that cleanses and heals the soul.

Your presence is receptive and loving and invites people to speak their truth because they feel listened.

You are an abundant being whose hands are always filled with gifts, food, beauty and support for those around you and for any project you work on.

Your Fabulousity is vibrant in the Art of Receptivity and you are a Goddess of Abundance.

Honor your Fabulousity by valuing the gifts that you bring to the world. Do not waste your time, energy, abundance or support in anyone who devalues you.

5

Luscious Spring of Life

4 Steady Streams You are flexible like streaming water and yet, steady as a rock. It is this balance that allows you to be a constant source of nurturance and support to others while keeping your passion always alive and streaming.

You constantly surprise those who think they know you and want to pigeonhole you. Because you are supportive and nurturing, they may want to take you for granted. That’s when they see your passion burst open and find that you are a daily miracle; not to be taken for granted.

Honor your Fabulousity by doing what makes you happy and supporting your own dreams. A happy woman feeds the joy in the world.

You are the water that nourishes life, the everlasting spring of inspiration, passion and life force that brings joy, enthusiasm and renewal to any project. You support your friends’ dreams, keep the party going all year and are a source of positivity and inspiration around you.

Your Fabulousity is ever-flowing, but you need to heal and replenish yourself in order to keep on giving. Honor your Fabulousity by resting, taking care of your own health and needs and by making sure that you are supporting your own dreams and nourishing your own joy.

Creative Genius

You are a creative genius and your imagination is so expansive, fast and fertile that sometimes you overwhelm people!

When you enter stillness, your imagination blossoms like a garden, with many ideas, insights, stories and images. You are probably multi-talented and may be several of these at once: author, visual artist, musician or dancer.

You may also be an idea genius or an innovative genius in your field.

Your Fabulousity is your creative genius and is deeply linked to your fertile imagination, open mind, capacity to wonder and willingness to experiment, explore, make mistakes and take risks.

Your presence is like a rainbow that joins sky and ocean (Left and Right Brain Hemispheres.)

To honor your Fabulousity, channel your emotions creatively in order not to overwhelm yourself and others with the overflowing passion that is ignited by your imagination.

You may also need to learn how to discern what should be done and what you should let go, and then implement and finish what you decide to develop.

21

Poet of the Deep Truths of the Soul

You are deeply connected to Soul.

You feel and see the hidden truths, feelings and possibilities in a situation or person.

Your Fabulousity is soulfulness and poetry. Sometimes it's hard to speak the language of your soul because others may get scared or confused or may even joke defensively. This makes you hide under a mask of ordinariness that you are far from experiencing.

Don't pretend. Dare to be the poet you are. Dare to speak simply, purely and deeply from your Soul. Dare to be vulnerable. Dare to do it in your own intimacy and then grow in strength until you can do it in company.

Perhaps it is not appropriate to speak Soulish in a community speakout or party. But when your Soul prompts you, when your intuition tells you that you must speak Soulish, then honor your Fabulousity by daring to speak the language of your Soul.

Messenger of the Sacred Feminine

9

Love Goddess

The moon in the night reflected in the waters speaks of an Extreme Female Archetype that carries the Female Gifts and makes you a Messenger of the Sacred Feminine. You may even be a Priestess of the Goddess.

You are a Love Goddess. You were born to inspire and guide people through their journey of love. You may be a marriage counselor, love or relationship coach or an author who writes romance novels.

Your Fabulousity resides in your Feminine Powers, including intuition, emotional wisdom, vulnerability, creativity, receptivity, BodySoul integration and a gift for beauty.

Your Fabulousity comes from the journey you have gone through in order to be open to love and master its art. This journey may have included many painful relationships, divorce a lack of self-love that lead to unfulfilling relationships and sexual acting out.

Be aware that these gifts have been devalued by patriarchy and there may be parts of you that were brought up seeing these gifts as weaknesses.

Heal your Sacred Feminine by reclaiming these gifts.

Then heal your Sacred Masculine by waking it up and placing it at the service of your Sacred Feminine.

Honor your Fabulousity by taking action in the world on behalf of your dreams, Soul purpose, talents and desires. The Sacred Masculine is the knight that goes out to fulfill the Queen's (Soul) dreams. Make sure your Knight has a sword (strategy, plan) and a horse (means of action and progress).

Now, however, you ARE love and your presence opens the heart of others. You have the patience, humor, compassion and empathy to create healthy relationships.

Assume your role as Love Goddess.

Honor your Fabulousity by making sure that you don't counsel people for free or people who are not ready and will trash your counsel. Create your own healthy criteria for guiding others in their love journey successfully.

Songstress of the Waters

Water is a potent resonator. It carries sounds powerfully and quickly. It responds to vibrational frequencies and intention by quickly Shapeshifting to reflect the patterns of the sound.

Your Fabulousity is connected to your voice, intention and vibration and the gift to alter the waters and the Soul. Your voice can inspire, uplift frequencies, heal and even effect profound changes in a situation.

Humans are about 60% water. Therefore, your voice can affect people powerfully, as it can affect the water element on earth.

As a Songstress of the Waters, you can be an alchemist, healer and harmonizer for individuals, groups and nature using your voice in singing, recitation, storytelling or healing sounds.

If you are not already doing this, now is the time to experiment, play and learn, for the world needs your healing voice now.

Honor your Fabulousity by honoring your voice, trusting your intuition in speaking, singing and expressing yourself and freeing your expressive abilities so that you can become an instrument of The Divine.

The Goddess of the Waters

Maria Mar “Like water, the Sacred Feminine is receptive and adaptive. It is emotionally wise and emotions are akin to the water element. It is collaborative, beingoriented, soul-directed, body-integrative, creative and intuitive. These Female Gifts have been devalued historically, but they are your Female Way and are needed in the world to recover our human and ecological balance.�

Art by Maria Mar Your Self-healing Body Digital Art

As a baby boomer, I began my journey to personal power imitating the Male Way of Power. This was the only way of power presented by patriarchy.

The irony is that as a feminist, I was struggling to free myself from the sexism in patriarchal society while at the same time unconsciously adopting its definition of power.

Today I walk the Female Way of Power, based on the definition of power as Presence. All that I am, know and offer is carried in my Presence. No one can take it from me. I do not need to push or defend myself or to compete with others. This frees me from the grip of control as power, which creates stress in women and groups.

Do you know that 97% of women are unhappy with their bodies? Do you know that in most fields women are not only paid less, but are less visible at the highest levels? Do you know that women suffer from a myriad issues of visibility that hold them back? That we often feel guilty for being happy or successful?

I have gone through all these limitations and I have broken free. I have freed my vast creative potential. I went from homeless to the CEO of my own corporation, where I offer products and services based on my soul’s purpose and unique talents. I have reclaimed self-love, self-esteem, self-authority and self-expression.

As a priestess of the Goddess, I help you reclaim your power in the Female Way, to become a Female Leader in your field and to shape your purpose into a practice or business.

As a woman, you have your own path to power, one based on your Female Gifts.

Are you holding back, sabotaging yourself, procrastinating or resisting because you are forcing yourself to a way of success or growth that does not follow the fiber of your being ?

Assume the Female Way and you will be able to do the changes you need to create the life you want, and to do them gracefully right now.

The element of earth is the sensual, instinctual , elemental power of our body and physical existence., which includes health and wealth. It is the Goddess that shapeshifts into all forms of life. It is belonging, nurturing and manifesting.

1

Living in Harmony

For you it is important to live in harmony.

This expresses in your body in the need to live in balance so that your cells vibrate the frequency of harmony, which is health. In your home, you need an environment that is clean, harmonious and in harmony with your Essence.

You love organic, natural wear and art that expresses the wild in you, whether it is peacock feathers or stone. You don’t like artifice or pretense, but you love beauty.

Your Fabulousity is based on healthy eating and living, a body that is toned and expresses who you are. It is nurtured by your connection to nature. You need to live close to trees and may love gardening or walking in nature.

Honor your Fabulousity by being in harmony within yourself and seeking those people and environments that are in harmony with you; rather than sacrificing who you are to be in harmony with others who are in a different frequency.

31

2

The Sacred Heart of Trees

You know with the heart and your Sacred Heart has a strong connection with Earth, and especially with ancient trees.

You are the hearth in your group; whether it is the one who cooks for the party or the person in whose house everyone loves to meet.

Your heart nurtures others and nurtures the truth that arises from the soul. Your Fabulousity is deeply rooted in Soul and allows you to feel when others are disconnected from their Soul and to intuitively know what their Soul needs. That is why so many people go to you for help.

Honor your Fabulousity by trusting your heart’s wisdom, taking time to listen to your own Soul and to do what you love. Stay home alone at least twice a week to reconnect to your heart and nurture yourself.

www.dreamalchemist.com

3

Sacred Stepping Stones

You are kin of the Stone Beings. Why do you love stones? Because you love stories.

You love silence. You love to be in the present moment where life is shaping itself through the expression of beingness.

Your Fabulousity expresses itself in your strong Presence.

Here’s the irony: Your Presence invites others to step closer in order to step through whatever transformation they need to embody their purpose. As a result, you are often asked to help, to assist in emergencies, start-up projects and transitions and you end up in the middle of the action too often!

Understand that you are a story-maker and you are making history every day. That is a gift you have. You make things happen.

You are a bridge. But to honor your Fabulousity you need to become like stone: receive, include and accept what comes your way, by all means. Be a stepping stone, by all means. But BE. Stay still long enough to know your own story. Be the bridge to your own destiny. Open space for Sacred Silence, beingness and reflection.

4

Making the Impossible Possible

Earth Goddesses are practical, have strong foundations and like to keep it real.

And you are an Earth Goddess. But here’s the thing… you also make the impossible possible.

Your Fabulousity is deeply rooted on Earth and the Natural Laws that govern it. But your Soul sees in those Natural Laws the movement of the Sacred Laws and in the Natural World the presence of the Sacred World.

That’s why you can make the impossible happen using your very practical perspective and down-to-earth skills and actions. No matter how “real” you like it; know that reality is a miracle-in-progress. Stay open to the surprising ways in which the miracle suddenly transpires.

Honor your Fabulousity by ceasing your doubts, trusting your Soul and marrying the practical and the sublime.

You did not come here to play small, but to make your BIG vision a reality, one small step at a time.

Shapeshift!

You are a shapeshifter. But you have yet to master the art of shapeshifting for your own purpose and desire.

Now you shapeshift to please others and fulfill their expectations of you.

You shapeshift to be the perfect mom, the loving wife or lover, the good daughter, the amazing friend.

Your clay is being formed by other hands (because you are giving away your own power as the sculptor) into forms that are gifts, duties and tools for others or for other’s goals.

It is time that you master the art of shapeshifting for yourself and your own Dream ~your own delight.

Sense your Fabulousity as you become clay and sensually shape your days, time and space, your attention and actions, your posture and words to become who you truly are in your Essence and to embody your purpose right now.

Honor your Fabulousity by embodying your Dream every day through being, doing and embracing what brings you joy.

The Zen Art of Receiving

The Desert Goddess is whispering in the wind and caressing you in the sun.

Her whispers call you to silence, to stop the doing, giving, pushing, trying and busyness and enter Sacred Stillness.

There is a purity in the desert that cannot transpire in any other place. It comes from the Zen Art of Receiving. Stilling the movement. Silencing the mind. Stopping the world.

Listen. Receive. Allow. Perhaps your Fabulousity exists in the desert zone.

Perhaps it needs to visit the desert to blossom in all its force.

Receiving may seem a weakness. Allowing may seem passivity. But these are Internal Actions from the Sacred Feminine that the desert helps you master.

Listen to the wind and allow its song to open a wave of sensual, expansive frequencies within you.

Feel the sun penetrating your body, warming your home, invigorating your mind, and you will birth ideas so innovative that you can’t imagine them now.

Honor your Fabulousity by listening to the Desert Goddess now.

Roots of Belonging

8 Reflection

Your money does not come from your job.

Your safety does not come from your routine.

Your belonging does not come from being “normal” to be accepted.

The Goddess of the Mountain often shows up as a spiritual master seating on the top of the mountain, deep in meditation.

You are deeply rooted in the power of The Source. You are one with The Source.

She guides you in your vision quest and teaches you reflection.

The reason you need to penetrate your root system deeply into earth is not in order to avoid falling. That is a fear-based action. You sink your roots deeply to connect to The Source and receive from it all the nutrients you need to grow.

Here’s the Fabulousity in reflection: it is not about the form you use to meditate. It is about SEEING the reflection.

Your Fabulousity is that you are one with the Earth, one with The Goddess in all her forms. You are one with The Source.

Everything you see and experience is a reflection, a Sacred Mirror. It shows you something about yourself.

Develop this deep intimacy and receive what you need directly from Source. Trust it.

Ask for it knowing that it’s already coming up.

It may be the lesson you need to master right now. It may be a hidden, disowned part of you. It may be a Life Metaphor that is an answer to your question or a clue in your quest.

Honor your Fabulousity by feeling, trusting and cultivating your connection to The Source and letting go of doubt, neediness and the holding on to money, clients, security, a job, the boss and other things that are just channels, not The Source. The Source can bring you what you need and desire in so many ways! There are infinite channels. Go directly to The Source.

This Goddess is asking you to understand the essence of reflection.

You may want to go to a tranquil place or climb the mountain. But that is just a place, not the action. The action is to SEE the reflection. Honor your Fabulousity by SEEING the reflections that life shows you right now, right where you are.

You are the Nurturing Mother that cares for the Children of Earth. You know the value of the food that Earth Mother gives us and you educate, nurture and heal through these gifts. You are so grateful for the healing food that Earth Mother provides her children!

Your Fabulousity is deeply linked to the fruits of the earth and your passion is to connect others with these fruits.

You may be a chef or so passionate about cooking and food that every holiday you put out dozens of delicious dishes for your family or friends. Perhaps you are a healthy eating/ healthy living educator or activist. Perhaps you help women heal from eating disorders. You may also be an author, artist or expert that integrates the fruits of earth, the blessings from Earth Mother and the message of a healthy lifestyle in your services or creations.

Your Fabulosity is a celebratory as well as a healing art. Know that it is of essential value and that you are called right now to share it because humanity must reconnect to Earth Mother and this is one of the most important ways to do it.

Your work is of pivotal importance right now. Trust it. Value it. Charge what you are worth. Make it visible. There’s no space for playing small. You have a BIG mission.

Honor your Fabulousity by stepping up to this mission and expressing your passion with your own colors and in a way that makes you jump with joy. This is the way to help others and Earth Mother now. It’s not only enough. It’s MORE than enough!

The Goddess of Earth

Cherie Roe Dirksen “We truly live in remarkable times — isn’t this just a great time to be on Earth? Well, I think so anyway. So much is taken for granted on a daily basis, some of us often forget to stop and smell the roses along our path in life.”

Cherie Roe Dirksen, artist, author and musician.

I was there once but woke up gradually to the beauty and sheer wonder of creation. I decided that I wanted to create a reality that is steeped in vibrant color, ludicrous humor, whimsical wonder, pensive reflection, unstoppable action and transformational energy through my passions.

Passion no.1: Art My art is how I interpret the world around me, it is how I experience reality and how I want my reality to be experienced. I popped out of my mother’s womb, brush in hand — okay, not quite but I do remember starting to show a keen interest in drawing and painting at a very early age.

“I am very passionate about my beliefs and started writing to ‘de-clutter’ my head.”

Passion no. 2: Writing My writing is a reflection of how I attain the deeper meaning of the inner and outer nonsense of my life. I like to simplify spiritual concepts and universal conundrums. I love slotting puzzle pieces of information together and seeing the metaphor behind all life experience unfold.

Passion no. 3: Music Then there is music. My main instrument is the bass guitar. I was in a band in my early 20′s and enjoyed the ‘rock’ scene. Our band was called ‘The Bends’ — yes, it was in the 90s.

I like to compose instrumental, meditative music. I started doing this for myself as I was looking for a specific sound to use with my own meditations.

Cherie Roe Dirksen: “I was born and live in Cape Town, South

Africa. The natural beauty of the Mother City has been constant inspiration for me. I aspire to project my love for nature in my art and music. I had my first self-empowerment book published in 2011 — my writing helps me to connect the dots of my past so that I can mindfully create my life in the present and hopefully help others to do the same.”

The element of fire is the power of the mind, the warmth of the hearth, giving form to life, taking action, visibility, cooking the alchemy of manifestation and the power of faith and devotion.

1

The Champion’s Torch

You are a champion, a heroine, a force of nature that makes things happen with the sheer power of your will, ambition and passion.

Yours is the champion’s torch and you have the trophies, résumé and awards to prove it.

Your passion and ambition drive you to grow, learn, improve yourself and create new possibilities, opening the door for those around you and those who come behind you, and you should be proud.

You are a leader and your Fabulousity is stardom material.

Honor your Fabulousity by living in balance. Know when to rest, when to BE instead of doing and when to pass on the torch and rest in your laurels. Know the difference between will power and intention.

Will Power is of the mind and third chakra.

Intention comes from the Soul and gets its power in the Heart Chakra.

2

Firework Charisma

You are the life of the party. You are the fireworks!

Some people see that as frivolous and see you as happy-go-lucky. Don’t fall for that illusion.

Your Fabulousity is the power of celebration. And celebration is a force that can initiate miracles, finish projects and raise funds and spirits.

Your Fabulousity may seem selfish to those who hide in obscurity or pride themselves in being dutiful. They may see you in the limelight and not realize how many people are basking in their glory thanks to your own luminosity.

Honor your Fabulousity by making sure that you give credit to others, share the limelight and include those who are usually not given credit, but in whose shoulders every project rests… and then enjoy without regret!

3 Pure Fire!

Fire is neither good nor bad. It can destroy, but it can also construct. In fact, humans transcended the pure animal state when they mastered fire… and you are pure fire and flame!

Your Fabulousity is fully linked to your passion. You burn bright, hot and have the talent to become visible and viral, to spread like wildfire.

You master the art of publicity and virality, marketing and public relations… or it may just come natural.

With this, comes the responsibility of what you mean and what you offer.

Stay in integrity. Honor your Fabulousity by being real, honest, kind and being of service to others.

5 Cooking with Fire

4

The Fire of Faith

Your fire is more subtle, less dramatic, but infinitely more powerful.

The fire of faith is like the flame of a candle that glows in a small room, and yet it transcends the containment of walls and illuminates your consciousness, evoking your spiritual guidance and connecting you to Divine Source.

Do not underestimate your Fabulousity simply because it’s not as tangible or dramatic as a forest fire. Your light is like a small dragonfly that illuminates the dark night, bringing hope and magic and allowing you to place one step after the other, even as you walk in the unknown.

Honor your Fabulousity by knowing the power of your faith to create miracles, defy the confines of time and space and instantly transcend any limit.

What’s cooking? In your life, something fragrant, delicious and abundant is always cooking. Your Fabulousity? You are a doer, a builder, an action taker. You don’t have a lot of patience for dilly-dallying, discussing things to death or for those who talk a lot but do little.

While others are inflaming the hearts of the candid with passionate words and big promises, you are selling the tickets, raising the funds, baking the cake, cooking the food, creating the t-shirts or making sure that the volunteers know what they are doing. Honor your Fabulousity by making sure that you DO get the credit and earn what you are worth.

Don’t hide behind the big talkers!

The Fire of your Heart

Your heart is a furnace that gives shape to the children of your passion.

When you desire something or are passionate about a cause or purpose, your heart calls you out with extraordinary clarity and strength.

Right now your heart is calling to you to embody your purpose, to take your next call, your next level of growth.

When this happens, your Fabulousity is on! Your Inner Clarity, passion and devotion are turned on and you are on a mission.

Your heart leads the way. It sends intuitions, Emotimages (emotive images) that give you a feeling that guides you and a vision of the larger picture.

Your Fabulousity is contagious and you attract allies, opportunities and resources effortlessly to grow this vision of your heart. Trust it.

Honor your Fabulousity by allowing the furnace of your heart to give shape to the goals, steps and actions you will take to make this BIG vision a reality. Acting from your heart is your Fabulousity!

7

Creating New Forms

You are like a potter or sculptor, giving new forms to old realities or to realities as yet unknown through the power of your imagination.

Dare to dream. Dare to imagine. And know that if you imagine it, if you want it deeply, then you CAN do it.

The Divine only gives you a vision, only turns on the flame of your passion, when you have the capacity to make it happen right now, one step at a time.

The challenge for your imaginative Fabulousity is that you are being called to do something unique, something that you have never done before. It may even be that it is something never done by anyone until now!

Trust your hands. Once your imagination is ignited, your hands get warm and itch to create, to do, to explore. Trust that power in your hands and start giving form to your imagination in time and space. That is how you manifest.

Honor your Fabulousity by trusting your imagination and giving new form to things to come.

Brigit, the Goddess of the Hearth

You are operating under the auspices of Brigit, the Goddess of the Hearth.

Brighid was the patron of poets and bards, as well as healers and magicians.

She was especially honored when it came to matters of prophecy and divination.

She was honored with a sacred flame maintained by a group of priestesses, and her sanctuary at Kildare, Ireland, later became the home of the Christian variant of Brighid, St. Brigid of Kildare. Her celebration is Beltaine, in the first of May. In Britain, Brigit's counterpart was Brigantia, a warlike figure of the Brigantes tribe near Yorkshire, England.

She is similar to the Greek goddess Athena and the Roman Minerva and connected to Female Wisdom and power.

Your Fabulousity is directly related to your creativity and the way you use it to educate the young ones , grow wellness and bring family and friends together in gratitude or to mark Rites of Passage.

Honor your Fabulousity by getting help when you plan big events and giving yourself time to enjoy your hobbies, gift making and other activities without pressure. You deserve some fun!

45

9

The Gift of the Sun

You are lighted directly by Grandfather Sun, the source of life and strength, clarity and vigor for humans.

This gives you infinite energy, vibrant health and an almost inexhaustible repertoire of ideas.

Your Fabulousity seems to be an infinite, abundant genius and the energy to implement the many brilliant ideas you generate.

But here’s the thing: though you are constantly replenished and inspired, you ARE human. You need to rest, to empty your mind and to work and live in balance.

Hence, your need to learn how to delegate. There’s no fault or guilt in doing the things that you do best: ideate, strategize, hold a BIG vision, come up with new ways of implementing; and leave the technical stuff, details and other implementation tasks to others who specialize in it. If you feel insecure, create detailed systems that allow you to delegate efficiently .

Honor your Fabulousity by delegating and living in balance.

The Goddess of the Fire

Susan Schanerman I recently read about a man who lost both legs and one arm in Vietnam and he told of how the physical recovery came first ... the mental and emotional scars were actually much deeper and took much longer to deal with ...

For me, it's taken a lifetime." – Having faced the crippling impact of polio at the age of 7, I know, as few others can, the life-long struggle of living with physical challenges. I was a normal kid one minute and then BOOM, I never was again.

I missed having any kind of normal childhood from age 7 to 17 as I was in a wheelchair, which caused me to live those years isolated, alone and sad. I was angry too but that I repressed. My parents’ over-protectiveness (or was it control?) made much of what I ever wanted to do a struggle.

On top of all that I’ve dealt with depression for years and in the past 15 – 20 years I’ve begun to experience what is called Post-Polio Syndrome … muscle weakening, exhaustion and pain.

So my mobility is severely limited … making even normal everyday activities extremely challenging.

“For most of my life, I asked myself why did I end up with the life I did? So much struggle … pain … sadness … isolation … and the only thing that ever made any sense to me was that I could use my life as an example … a “shining” example, if you will, to inspire others, those more and less fortunate than me … and so here’s what I know…

We can each be a star in our own lives … if only we believe we can. We all have the capacity to move past our obstacles and challenges, ~whether physical or emotional, obvious or hidden~ and achieve the goals and dreams of our hearts. It is actually our Divine Right and Responsibility to play that starring role and to shine … however … wherever … whenever we can .We owe it to ourselves and to those we can inspire.

The element of air & sky embodies our spirituality, the moving from the tiny mind to our vast mind, where we are one with The Source. It is about our choice to be happy, about living our purpose and about being inspired and being an inspiration.

1

The Shining Star

2 Light at the End of the Tunnel!

You are a shining star born to illuminate the world. There is a strong luminosity in you, visible to anyone that sees the truth.

Your Fabulousity comes from the integrity and compassion with which you live and grow, your devotion to choose love, truth and compassion at every turn. This irradiates outward like a halo!

You suffer when you meet jealousy and envy. Sometimes you hold back and stay isolated because you fear the naysayers or toxic comments. Release these fears. Extend compassion to those who instead of drinking from your light, try to cloud it. Understand this is the human price paid by all stars.

Honor your Fabulousity by remembering that you are already perfect for your purpose, and that your mistakes and imperfections are the path to your growth.

Give yourself the compassion you so readily give others.

55

You are an optimistic. You always see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Negative people and cynics may think of your optimism as a Polyanna syndrome, but you know that you have chosen this path in the face of adversity, pain and even depression.

You have chosen that the glass is halffull, and this allows you to fill it!

Your Fabulousity is the vibrational frequency that comes from choosing to see everything as a miracle and to trust that the Divine, through each situation, is on your side.

This perception allows you to work miracles and transmute adversity into possibility.

Honor your Fabulousity by seeking like-hearted people that replenish and nurture your faith, trust and capacity to see the light in the darkness.

www.dreamalchemist.com

3

The Intuitive

You are an intuitive, psychic, dreamer, medium, telepath or seer.

Your Fabulousity is that you see the subtle changes that most people miss. You see the spirits of the place and the time.

You see energy. You may dream things to come, dream with the Dead and receive messages or have shamanic dreams where you heal or change your life.

Your reality seems "metaphysical" or even "hocus pocus" for most of the population, and that is not an easy thing to live with.

That has lead to doubts, hiding, defenses and other strategies in your life that may have held you back.

As you come out of hiding, understand that you are the future modality of humanity. We are evolving our psychic abilities, and you are a role model, teacher and guide.

Honor your Fabulousity by assuming your authority with firmness, yet with compassion; without false humility but keeping your heart open to the wonder of this world.

4

The Sacred Mirrors

The Sacred Mirrors is an ancient teaching present in all life.

You may be a teacher of the Sacred Mirrors or you may be called to master this wisdom in your life.

Your Fabulousity perceives the situations and people around you as Sacred Mirrors.

They are mirrors of inner processes and truths within you. They are mirrors of each other. You can read these mirrors to see your Blind Spots, heal your imbalance and find the right path for every occasion.

These mirrors show you how to heal or uplift your vibrational frequency. They answer your questions. They show you the consequences of the choices you face.

Honor your Fabulousity by learning to look into the Sacred Mirrors with honesty, courage and compassion. Release judgment of yourself or others. Seek the lesson, the path to growth. If you are to teach this path to others, begin by applying any Sacred Mirror to yourself. Then aspire to see what each mirror reveals about our humanity and how it helps our evolution.

Physical Existence is Spiritual

6

You are a Peace Keeper

You have such a strong spirituality that you often repel or disregard your physical existence.

You are a Peace Keeper. It may surprise you to hear this, as you may have gone or are still going through deep inner turmoil.

You are just realizing that there is an Inner War in you between the spiritual and the material. You are becoming conscious that you often reject money and neglect your physical body, that you see physical existence as cumbersome, shallow or even sinful.

But as you face this turmoil, what does your Soul desire? It is peace, harmony, coherence. What you hunger for is the purpose you came here to embody.

Your Fabulousity, believe it or not, is in facing this Inner War. You are meant to be a teacher or healer who helps others bring their spirituality into balance with their physical existence.

You are meant to help others see their bodies and any condition in their bodies as part of their spiritual path and to see in their circumstances, obstacles and body the instruments to their evolution.

Honor your Fabulousity by walking this path yourself with joy and compassion. Relax into your physical existence. Enjoy and celebrate it, no matter how imperfect you believe it is.

Receive it and express it as part of your gifts and an expression of your spirit.

57

You may have achieved Inner Peace already, or you may be on your way. Your Fabulousity is the gift of peace, harmony and coherence in your Presence.

This peace and harmony are reflected in all you do, say or share; in your writing, words, voice, presence, teachings or coaching, your touch and your acts.

You bring peace and harmony into any situation and environment, and this may surprise you, as you may still be struggling with inner battles yourself.

Honor your Fabulousity by knowing in your heart that you are a messenger of peace and harmony. You don't have to be perfect in order to inspire this peace and harmony. But you do need to embrace them in your relationship with yourself and the challenges you face. This is the test of your mastery, not any state of perfection.

The Silver Lining

You may have battled depression for a long time in your life. You may still be battling it at some level. These dark clouds can take you deep into your own darkness and create isolation and pain so profound that you feel that you are drowning.

Yet, time and time again, you use your gifts to emerge from that darkness.

Your Fabulousity is your capacity to face depression, grief and adversity and to overcome the darkness to shed light over the experience. This is what some people call “finding the silver lining� of dark clouds.

It is a paradox of being human that we often are gifted in the place we are wounded; and came to serve in exactly the area where we have terrible battles.

If depression is a current theme in your life, a darkness that keeps returning; then you may disbelieve that you have the strength and gifts to conquer it.

Honor your Fabulousity by trusting that this path is your training to master the art of joyful living, to polish your powerful gifts and skills and to train you as a healer and scout to guide others in their own journey to overcome the darkness.

8

There's Magic in the Air

You love magic. You may be a shaman or alchemist You are probably a Dreamer and may be a storyteller.

You love magic and see the world as magic. Your Fabulousity is to see the magic in the natural world because you see the Sacred World embedded in it. You see the magic in situations that appear ordinary to others, and you seek magical ways to heal, transform and manifest.

Remember that magic is simply a change of your perception that changes your world.

One of the most powerful ways to open your perception to magic is to allow your eyes to shift, slightly unfocused, so that you begin to see energy, halos, reflections and other phenomena.

Another practice is to seek communion with nature during time portals, such as sunrise or sunset, midnight and midday.

Honor your Fabulousity by discerning when what appears like magic is nothing but fake magic tricks, the work of con artists or wishful thinking. Learn to distinguish fake magic from the REAL magic present in life.

The Song of Joy

You are a spirit of joy that came to earth to spread joy, love and gratitude.

Trust your desire to do the things that make you happy. This is not selfish. Is your path to service!

Your Fabulousity thrives in sharing what makes you happy: dancing, painting, singing, communing with nature, telling stories, creating music, creating arts & crafts, sewing, making dolls, communing with creatures, and so on. The happier you are the more you spread happiness throughout the world!

You may doubt that your gifts, passions and talents are that important. Sure, you inspire others. But that's not real work, is it? It’s not as important as “saving lives.” It doesn’t change lives, as teaching skills does, right? Wrong! Remember that inspiration means letting Spirit in. That is the very Essence of human existence and evolution!

You may be struggling between an overwhelming desire to share your joy and to help others see the beauty and miracles in this world on one hand; and on the other hand the fact that you are clueless as to HOW to do this and still make a living.

Honor your Fabulousity by listening to your heart. Your Soul knows what it came here to do and will tell you if you listen. Only after you are crystal clear on the BIG vision and delight of your Soul’s purpose, go ahead and engage your Sacred Masculine at the Service of your Soul, your Sacred Feminine. Once your Shiva is working WITH instead of AGAINST your creativity and joy, you will find your way.

In her words:

Rev. Misa Hopkins “I remember having a conversation with God, I call him The Boss.

I asked, Why me? I am a woman of science, living in a black and white world. I think you meant to give these skills to my neighbor, she is into all this Woo, Woo stuff, I'm just a computer geek. I think you missed by just one house.

I received a response to my question: the sound of the most loving, gentle laughter inside my head and the feeling of a deep, profound hug inside my body. It left me knowing that the future would be wonderful.

Feeling totally astonished and excited at the possibilities, I chose to follow my new path and teach these tools to others.�

I highly recommend Cynthia to accelerate any business. “ Shannon Burnett, CEO Conscious Living Partnership, Producer EXPO of Heart “Cynthia's perceptiveness absolutely freaked me out!
