Strangely Sane: Journey of a Goddess

Your New Beginning is Here!

Eostre teaches us that after winter must come spring. Spring brings warmth, excitement, and newness. What have you had to shed to prepare for this new version of you? This is not a time to fret over who you used to be and the things you needed to do in the past. Now is the time to embrace this new version of you, and to forgive and thank the older versions of you. Below is the recipe for honey cake: Honey Cake - Preppy Kitchen [https://preppykitchen.com/honey-cake/] * 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g) * ▢1 teaspoon baking powder * ▢½ teaspoon salt * ▢¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional) * ▢¼ teaspoon baking soda * ▢1 cup unsalted butter softened (227g) * ▢½ cup packed light brown sugar (110g) * ▢⅓ cup honey plus more for garnish (80mL) * ▢4 large eggs at room temperature * ▢1 teaspoon vanilla extract * ▢¼ cup sliced almonds optional (30g) Instructions * Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan with baking spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper and lightly grease the parchment paper. * In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon if using, and baking soda. * In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar, and honey on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. With the mixer on low, add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and stopping to scrape down the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla until just combined. * With the mixer on low, gradually add in the flour mixture, beating just until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it into an even layer. * Bake for 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. If desired, you can sprinkle the top with almonds after 20 minutes of baking. Loosely cover the cake with foil at any time if the top or almonds start to get too brown. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Carefully remove the cake from the pan, discard the parchment paper, and place it on a serving plate (almond side up). Serve warm drizzled with additional honey.

The Cost of Your Dream Life

Athena teaches us the value of strategy and wisdom. In this episode, we discuss the true cost of living your dream life. Unfortunately, it's not always as easy as we wish. Success is a mental and physical game. Keep going, keep learning; your dream life is worth it.

The Time for Honesty

Ma'at teaches us that honesty is integral to our journey. If we ever intend to live a life that is most aligned with our values, then we have to reflect on what is actually important to us. You can follow your algorithm or you can follow your heart and mind. Be brave enough to be yourself in a world where everyone is trying to be like someone else. http://instagram.com/strangelysanepodcast [http://instagram.com/strangelysanepodcast] Youtube: https://youtu.be/vWpbAmIZXiY [https://youtu.be/vWpbAmIZXiY] Goddess Power Oracle Deck: https://shop.colettebaronreid.com/oracle-decks/goddess-power-oracle-portable-edition [https://shop.colettebaronreid.com/oracle-decks/goddess-power-oracle-portable-edition]

Gula- Healing Together

I have had both the honor and pleasure of going through a journey of healing. And trust me, it wasn't always the simplest decision. I had to learn how to trust the journey that I've been asked to take. In walking this path, I have been faced with the decision to heal or to avoid. Gula aids us on our mission of healing, and she helps us inspire others to take this path. Will you avoid the trigger, or will you heal it? How will that decision help you on your path? https://youtu.be/DGeaaf4ZZ6A [https://youtu.be/DGeaaf4ZZ6A] instagram.com/strangelysanepodcast [http://instagram.com/strangelysanepodcast]

Saraswati: You Gotta Start Somewhere

Starting something new is intimidating. You're learning something new, you look around to get inspired, and realize that you actually kind of suck at it. You now have to face reality. You're bad at something. You've failed to be the very best out there. Saraswati teaches us the importance of putting in time and effort. You don't start a master. You work at it, fail, learn a new tip, and fail again. Eventually, you find your groove, and you find yourself getting better and better. Don't compare your first day to someone else's 7000th day. That's not fair to you or them. One day, someone will look to you for tips and tricks, and you'll have them to give because you were willing to fail to succeed. https://youtu.be/8p0yJ6d4qrQ [https://youtu.be/8p0yJ6d4qrQ] http://www.instagram.com/strangelysanepodcast [http://www.instagram.com/strangelysanepodcast] https://shop.colettebaronreid.com/oracle-decks/goddess-power-oracle-portable-edition [https://shop.colettebaronreid.com/oracle-decks/goddess-power-oracle-portable-edition]
