Make Your Home Into Everything The Outside World Isn’t

November 6, 2019 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Musings

We are all in Scorpio season and Mercury is now thoroughly retrograde. That energy is flowing darkly through all things regarding relationship/power/money/death-and-taxes and most of us don’t like a lot of what we’re seeing. There’s a shit storm on every major media outlet, governments in chaos and cities aflame. A lot of us are feeling […]

When You Clean Your House To Avoid Doing Something Else

June 29, 2019 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Musings

Recently, someone confessed in a group I’m in, that they were behind with the course studies. She’d ended up cleaning her house instead, which (by her admission) was highly unusual and “not like her” and was obviously, then, an avoidance tactic. She felt embarrassed and annoyed with herself and just plain miserable. I see it […]

Reinvention

June 20, 2019 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Musings

I wrote this in honour of ThrowbackThursday on Facebook. You can join in the conversation here. Dahlinks, may I present The Recent Hair Evolution. In pictures! Actually, it’s been rather fascinating to me to see myself actualize through this “montage”. In the first one, I was feeling very Venus, almost timeless.I loved how I looked […]

Those New Year Resolutions Might Be More Successful If You Wait A Bit

December 28, 2018 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Musings

I’m not one for blueprints. In fact, I’m the one rabitting on about Inner Guidance, and “intention trumps everything”, and “You always know.” And really, the Gregorian calendar is nothing but a mass-agreed-upon, man-made blueprint, right? However, there are cosmic and planetary rhythms that we, as humans cannot help but be aware of, simply by […]

Where Decluttering Usually Fails

June 23, 2018 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Musings

The more I dive into the backstage (aka research) work of Intentional Nesting, of how your home is the “set-design” part of acting-as-if, the more I realize that there’s a vital piece left out of most books and magazines and teachings on decluttering. They focus only on the DOing not the Being. And that’s backwards. […]

What To Do When The World Is Horrible

June 21, 2018 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Musings

When the world is horrible, you’ve got to NEST. I’m not going to list all the horrors we’re seeing these days – you know what they are, and you can feel it, in the heaviness of the global energy and the aching exhaustion in your chest. There’s always pain in the world. Most of time, […]

A Graceful Way To Begin Decluttering When You Don’t Have The Time Or The Energy

March 29, 2018 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Musings

I’m seeing soooo many nudges from everywhere that decluttering + clearing out + making space is a ‘thing’ in the energy of right-now. And the Virgo moon is really amping it this week, so if you’ve been feeling the urge to chuck everything, you can blame the stars. Here’s what I know after years of unfolding the power of […]

If you were auditioning to be your own lover, would you say yes?

February 14, 2017 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Goddess Mindset, Musings

Valentine’s day tomorrow had me thinking about love in general, and love between people, but most pointedly, about the love we have (or don’t) for ourselves. It occurred to me – with a gut-clench wallop of recognition – that if an auditioning-beau broke his word to me as often as I do to myself, I […]

Why I Care About The State Of Your House

February 6, 2017 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Goddess at Home, Musings

For the first time in my adventures as a non-home-owning, globe-trotting work-wherever goddess, I have a landlord coming to do an INSPECTION of my nest!! Apparently a regular occurrence when you rent your home, but very new to me. I’m betwixt-and-between about this. The note attached to my door informs me that – “apartments should […]

Instead Of Marching, I Will Nest

January 31, 2017 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Musings

I awoke this morning, finally clear about something I’ve been wobbly about ever since the election results came in. See, I’ve been dithering how to show up amidst the turmoil, how best to embody the Sovereignty that is at the core of my BEing, when the basic sovereignty of others is so much at risk. Whether […]
