Hola gorgeous goddesses,
Whenever I can, I answer Ask Goddess Leonie questions.
I’ve still got a couple of questions backed up for me to answer, but here’s your chance to leave a comment and get your questions answered when I can about creativity, spirituality, spirited business, being a goddess, how I got to be doing what I do, living a joyful life - anything you’d like to know.
You can ask the question as your name, or post under a different name if you’d like to be anonymous - it’s all good.
Also, you might like to check out my new FAQs as well to see if I’ve already answered 
So much love & magic to you!

Dear Goddess Leonie,
I would really love to get into meditation. Where do I begin? Are there any books you can recommend? CDs? I am slightly overwhelmed by the amount of choice there seems to be!

Dear Goddess Leonie:
I’ve been a writer for 23 years—a freelance writer for 13—so I have a certain amount of discipline and practice around writing. But now I’m trying to write a book and can’t seem to make myself do it! It’s not “writer’s block”…. I have a detailed outline and the book is essentially written in my head. But I’m avoiding doing the writing, even though my freelance business is slow and I have the time.
Is it fear of change? Is it a sign that I’m not pursuing the right thing? Or is it normal? And how do I move beyond this phase so I can live my dreams of being an inspirational writer?
Oh, Goddess, what say you?

Dear Goddess Leonie,
Where do you go to find your Gems of Joy and other inspiration when a WTF week happens. Recently it seems like every week has been a kick in the teeth (mad transition times do that) and I want to work on building up a strong joyful self that doesn’t get knocked down every time this happens I was wondering if you had any wisdom for me.
Thanks
Allysa

I discovered your blog not to long ago, and I’m completely inspired by you! So, my question is: Have you always been so free and happy and known that you were a goddess? Or, if not, at what point in your life did it kind of click for you? This is all so new and happy for me! You are beautiful! <3

How do you prioritize your days, months, years? How, when you are swimming with ideas, have desires to learn about and explore new people places and things. How do you do fuel your passions, and still try to balance work, family, friends, relationship, nutrition, exercise, feeding you spirit. How do you do so much and still remain grounded and clear?….I begin thinking about all the things my soul longs for and at first I feel excited and giddy then this turns to butterflies and then anxiety and ends in a big feeling of overwhelmedness. I have a friend that keeps telling me “you can do anything you just can’t do everything”.
Do you agree with this statement?
November 7th, 2009 at 9:51 am
Ooh … I like Laurie’s question! I also wonder how you balance your creative life with your teaching, blogging and then there is the laundry, shopping, cooking!
I mentioned on your last post how I have been contemplating starting a women’s circle and wondered what advice you might have on getting this going? A friend had suggested it and then went on to explain the circle she led years ago and how she had everyone read Jean Shiboda Bolen’s book and how they all had to commit to meeting or else the circle would not work. Sounds great, but I fear if I am too rigid in the “rules” people might be afraid to join. Any thoughts? I have a small list of people I want to invite forming in my head …

I don’t have a question, but KTS… check out http://notforrobots.blogspot.com/ I love this lady. Her main tenet is that anyone for whom writing is not hard is a robot… and this site is NOT FOR ROBOTS.
You know how Leonie rules? Well, that is how this lady rules, but specifically for writing.

Oh, wait, so… I’d like to second the gist of the “How to you find the time?” question. I have so many interests… books I’d like to read, art I’d like to make, poems that have yet to be written, and spiritual life I want to devote my time to… but I work two jobs — One full time, one part time = 60 hours a week. Then there’s the husband and the family I’m insanely close to (4 sisters!! I want to have, at the very least phone time with all of them). How to decide?

Hola, Gorgeous Goddess!
First off, I want to give you a big, gorgeous hug and a thank you for the gift of inspiration…it was an a*mazing six weeks participating in the Goddess eCourse, and I’m eternally grateful to you and everyone I met through the course. What an experience!
I was wondering what your ideas were on a few subjects; things like synchronicities (do they really mean anything or are they just coincidences?), dreamwork (our higher selves or the Universe trying to tell us something or just indigestion?), and soulmates (crazy idea and wishful thinking or do we each truly have that one, amazing, authentic love out there?).
On the art side of things, any plans for a book? I think a Goddess Leonie book would be such an awesome idea~ I can totally see something along the lines of SARK’s books…You have so many ideas and concepts and such an amazing way of seeing the world and life…it would be a terrific idea!
I wish you and yours all the best in everything…and so many blessings to you on your new endeavor (the retreat looks sooooo divine!). Much love to you!
Namaste~~~

I hope this isn’t too late, or too simple…
I love the little bit of flute music at the end of the Divine Dreaming meditation. Do you have any recommendations for anything similar? Thanks.

Hola sweet Veronica!
I’ll answer your question now, as it’s muchos simple
The flute music at the end of that meditation is actually by me… *happy smile and blush* I’m glad you liked it! My love & I own Native American style flutes and took a workshop with a beautiful guy to learn how to play (http://earthsongflutes.com.au/)
The best flute music I can recommend for gorgeous listening is R Carlos Nakai (my favourite is Desert Dance: http://astore.amazon.com/goddessleonie-20/detail/B0000007WM)
His flute music is absolutely stunning… very soothing
Hope this helps dearest!

Thank you, Goddess Leonie, that was exactly what I was looking for!
Ahh~ It’s beautiful!

Quick question, Goddess Leonie. Do you do all the artwork and writing for your website and beautiful creations by hand, or do you use Photoshop or something similar? I love the 2010 workbook and am just wondering if you did it all by hand and then scanned it on your computer or made it on your computer. Either way, very lovely!

Hello Goddess Leonie~
You are a huge inspiration to me. Just wanted to say that!
Ok, now for my question:
Can you offer some advice or techniques that will help me to figure out what I am here for… you know my “BIG” work…. life’s work.
I feel like something is missing, but I can’t figure out what it is.
I apologise if my question is too obtuse!
