We pick up our beautiful little boy and bring him

We pick up our beautiful little boy and bring him home tomorrow to be a part of the Parker Family.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This was the first day we met him at 4 1/2 weeks and he's now 8 weeks and so we expect him to be quite a bit bigger and more steady on his feet. He was delightfully wobbly when he first waddled over to us! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We've called him Beau.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Cookie and Leo are ready/not ready!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Please send us your good puppy wishes and if you would love to see our fluffy family a little more you can do so at @parkerfamilypets⁠⠀
⁠⠀
What a trio they will be! ⁠⠀

I was recently interviewed by the divine Britt Dea

I was recently interviewed by the divine Britt Deanda and Tara Schulenberg of @elevatetheglobe on their podcast.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It was not a usual interview experience for me, nor do I believe it was for Britt or Tara. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Something happened in our time together where they asked me such divinely rich questions about the ancient history and modern context of the priestess and what it means for the sacred leadership that so many of us crave at this time. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I could see as I shared the power of priestesses past, the inner work this path demands, (yes - demands), of us in looking at our shadow, wounds and healing, and the deep cry to leadership that is equitable and just for our Great Mother and all who live here, that something awakened inside them. It was both an inner knowing and confirmation - and a spark of new clarity moving forward.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And Tara then shared something very profound and deeply true as somewhat of a question, but really one she knew the answer to already. (I paraphrase...) ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
"Julie, this is it isn't it? This is the work of a priestess. To be with people and create conditions where someone awakens and has moments like this. Moments of clarity or depth or connection to themselves."⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Yes Tara. And Britt. That is it.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
That is the 'work' of the priestess.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
To be a space holder, conduit, opener, awakener, witness to someone else's divinity coming into form. Once. Twice. A thousand times over.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And is a reminder that this 'work' can happen when you are committed to being your authentic and deep self as a space holder - anywhere. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
In an interview. A small exchange at the farmers market. Playing with a child. Holding a hand while tears flow. Deeply listening. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Priestesses open portals. Portals of soul, divinity, depth and love. And those who step through find the priestess within themselves.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Always themselves. ⁠⠀

Always.⁠ Amongst all the fun and festivities. Always. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And I felt really compelled to share this art by @ariadelsole today because I've now had three separate exchanges or witnessings in the past week alone where anti-racism educators and social justice advocates I know have said things like thousands of followers they gained after the death of George Floyd have now unfollowed them, calls they are making for justice work to continue and deepen are going unmet, and people who were once actively sharing and talking and DOING things in this space are no more.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
There is a lot of 'talk' right now about the great conjunction, age of Aquarius and the alignment of Jupiter and Saturn astrologically on December 21st, (for the first time in 400 years), both of which (amongst other things) represent social issues and leadership.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Well if it's one thing I've come to learn in my lifetime and spiritual development it's that social issues and leadership mean nothing without action. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
How will my commitment to being anti-racist continue? Look next year? Be at the 1 year anniversary murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2021? What will I have done, changed, shifted, unlearned and more by that time and beyond? ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Maybe these are questions that might be helpful, not just to yourself but to the collective, for you to ask yourself too. ⁠⠀

It's really beginning to feel now like the long, (

It's really beginning to feel now like the long, (very long), winter lockdown that was life here in Melbourne in 2020 has ended.⁠
⁠
I am slowly beginning to see, hug, eat and soul chat with loved ones I was separated from. As so many of us were. And maybe still are for varying reasons. It takes time to claw back so many months of your life where you were confined and restricted. And it takes time for our nervous systems to recalibrate as well.⁠
⁠
The sun was shining divinely for my first lunch (with a glass of vino for us both thank you very much!) last week with Kemi Nekvapil @keminekvapil and we spent all our time except for 5 minutes chatting life. We snuck in a bit of biz right at the end. ⁠
⁠
The balance, as it always does with us, felt so right. ⁠
⁠
If you are a fellow Melbournian - how is your post lockdown going? I'm truly asking and please know that I know it may not be all sunshine and roses.⁠
⁠
Life in many ways is still deeply touched by COVID-19 and we've been through a collective trauma - as so many around the world still are traversing too. We are all at varying stages and no one's experience is the same as another. ⁠
⁠
How are you? How are you really?
