GRACE: The Triple Goddess, + One


I have been a firm believer in the Triple Goddess in each woman and in every woman, embracing the roles of Maiden, Mother, and Crone as they have presented themselves in my life; searching for them within when their specific insights were needed.

But as I age, and realize that women are living longer and healthier lives, I realize there is a void that must be filled by a new entity... she that is no longer quite so responsible as Mother, but who isn't quite yet secure in the role of Crone. Others, of course, have sensed this void, and have chosen their own idea of the needed addition to the Triple Goddess. I, however, am flying free, using only my own thoughts at present. I call this evolving goddess within myself "Grace": Grace because this new span of time for me, and other women, is there by the grace of God; and Grace because I need to learn to accept and share this gift of time and opportunity with grace... gracefully, gratefully, and graciously.

And because Grace is evolving, I will continue to honor the Triple Goddess, but always include Grace as "+ One". Women have always felt "the more the merrier", opening their arms, their homes, and their hearts to others. This blog is dedicated to Creating! Grace within myself and Creating! Graces in others. So, welcome, Grace, as we begin this exploration into your becomings!

Starts and Finishes


Time comes when decisions have to be made to move forward with one’s life, forging towards the new and unknown and letting go of the hurtful and burdensome…

That time has come for me, and hopefully, this will be the beginning of my time.

Too much of life is out of my control right now, and that is an unsettling feeling; but in that feeling brings an opportune time for change. Several big challenges have the prospects of being finished in the coming days, which is a presage of new beginnings. I choose to embrace this presage, not as a foretelling of gloom, but simply as significance in regard to my future. In fact, embracing the experience in the way the word looks, I prefer to think of this time as my preparation in becoming one who is regarded as knowledgeable, wise, and experienced: a sage, or better yet, a Crone.

So, this is a time, my time, for new, and fresh, starts. This blog is one way I am trying something new, reaching out to others to hear their thoughts on issues and feelings and events that are important to them, and that are important to me. Who knows where it will lead? But I have always been told that the journey is much more important than any destination; so I’m ready to start traveling, wherever that may lead.

Anyone, and everyone, is welcome along for the journey, and I invite each one of you, individually, to walk beside me whenever you can. I welcome your company and look forward to our conversations. As creator of this blog, I will manage it as Woman of Amber; as participant in discussions, I will contribute under my own name.

    I am happy to say I am trying some new things and trying to finish up some old things...

    I am participating in Camp Nanowrimo this summer, working on my novel "Blackberry Dreams". I'll share more with you about that later. Also, I was so inspired by the women I interviewed for my research project, that I have begun learning to knit and crochet: The verdict is still out as to how successful I will be in that endeavor.

    Now that I have finished my paper, I am earnestly looking for a job: Believe me, it is long past time to FINISH being unemployed and START working again!
