I`m so excited to be speaking next week at the Guadalupe Center, a special event dedicated to Latinas and Latina leaders in Kansas City. This gathering is an incredible opportunity to connect, share, and celebrate the magic we all hold within our community. Although the event is open to everyone, the lecture will be in Spanish, allowing us to dive deep into our shared heritage and experiences.

I have to share a quick story about how this speaking opportunity came about, highlighting how what`s meant to be yours will ALWAYS be yours when you trust the path. I had a meeting with a dear friend and colleague Delia Marin, and during our conversation, she kept saying that I needed to come and speak at the Guadalupe Centers specifically at this event. I agreed, saying I`d reach out because connecting with the Guadalupe Center had been on my heart for a while.

Then, just 48 hours later, I reconnected with another friend who invited me to speak at this very event. I assumed Delia had reached out to her about having me speak, but when I mentioned it, my friend said that wasn’t the case. She had just thought of me and felt I’d be a great fit. We both laughed, recognizing how the universe works. There`s so much ease when you know that whatever is yours will never pass you by. You don`t have to stress about what`s coming; there`s a natural flow to it.

I`m incredibly grateful and excited to connect with my Latinas this coming weekend. I`m thrilled to engage more deeply with my community and share the magic we all hold, especially with the Latina leaders in Kansas City. I love you all and can’t wait to see you!

Coyote medicine is a powerful aspect of Indigenous wisdom, embodying the spirit of the trickster. In many Native cultures, the coyote is revered as a teacher who imparts crucial life lessons through humor, cunning, and unexpected turns of events. Coyote medicine is about finding healing in the most surprising places, teaching us that wisdom often comes through our experiences, especially the ones that don`t go as planned.

Coyote is the master of transformation and adaptability. When things go awry, Coyote asks us: Can you trust that you`re still on the right path? Can you find humor in the chaos? The trickster energy of Coyote encourages us to laugh at ourselves and our circumstances, to see the absurdity and beauty in life’s unpredictability. It reminds us that our reactions shape our reality. When faced with challenges, do we get angry, or can we find a way to laugh and learn?

This medicine is about being present and mindful, paying close attention to how we respond to life`s disruptions. It teaches us to prepare better, communicate more effectively, and embrace the moments that push us out of our comfort zones. Coyote`s lessons are especially relevant when things are not going as planned, urging us to find creative solutions and maintain a light-hearted approach.

Furthermore, Coyote medicine highlights the process of creating new versions of ourselves. As we navigate unexpected challenges, we forge new neural pathways, fostering growth and transformation. This internal shift is mirrored externally, as we witness new, unforeseen developments in our lives. Coyote teaches us to embrace these changes with curiosity and openness, reminding us that even in chaos, there is order and purpose.

In honoring Coyote medicine, we honor the resilience and adaptability of our ancestors. We acknowledge that life’s twists and turns are not setbacks but opportunities for growth and deeper understanding. By embracing Coyote’s teachings, we learn to navigate life with grace, humor, and a resilient spirit, creating a harmonious balance between the known and the unknown. Aho Mitakuye Oyasin❤️

Today’s Cancer New Moon invites us to dive deep into our emotions, intuition, and dreams. It`s a potent time for healing, introspection, and setting intentions that align with our highest selves. Normally, my rituals on new moons and full moons extend beyond the evening, immersing myself in the energy of whatever I’m trying to create throughout the day.

Today, I sat out in the sun, laying down tobacco and prayer, and it was beautiful to see what relatives showed up with messages. The first was Grandmother Spider, reminding me that I get to create my own reality and weave my web. For me, it’s also about sending love to all those within my web—my community, my tribe, my people. The next visitor was a butterfly with a hurt wing, unable to fly as high. I prayed for it, thanked it, and wished it well on its next journey. In the ten minutes it spent with me, I felt its soul deeply.

What’s truly beautiful about letting go of the old world and stepping into this new one is feeling the connection and love from everything around you—not just from family members, partners, or loved ones, but from every blade of grass, every butterfly, every leaf, every gust of wind. It fills you and fills your cup. I’m deeply grateful for this new moon and excited for the beauty it will usher in.

Today is a day of gratitude and peace. I reflect on the past, on all that has happened and been created to bring me to this moment. I embrace the present, living fully in what is, and look forward with hope to the future and all that is yet to come.

With gratitude, I want to share my heartfelt thanks with all my relatives and everyone who has touched my life in any way. Thank you for being part of my journey.

“To the Creator, for the ultimate gift of life, I thank you.
To the mineral nation that has built and maintained my bones and all foundations of life experience, I thank you.
To the plant nation that sustains my organs and body and gives me healing herbs for sickness, I thank you.
To the animal nation that feeds me from your own flesh and offers your loyal companionship in this walk of life, I thank you.
To the human nation that shares my path as a soul upon the sacred wheel of Earthly life, I thank you.
To the Spirit nation that guides me invisibly through the ups and downs of life and for carrying the torch of light through the Ages. I thank you.
To the Four Winds of Change and Growth, I thank you.
You are all my relations, my relatives, without whom I would not live. We are in the circle of life together, co-existing, co-dependent, co-creating our destiny. One, not more important than the other. One nation evolving from the other and yet each dependent upon the one above and the one below. All of us a part of the Great Mystery.”
