Yesterday, as we opened the door to the Sacred Sister Sanctuary, I felt the stirrings of something deep and true rise within me — a whisper that said, “This is the moment.” Not because the calendar said so. Not because I had a deadline. But because the timing felt… right.

We’re still in the energy of Beltane — the ancient fire festival that celebrates fertility, sensuality, creation, and new life. It’s a potent time, full of light and rising energy, but it’s also a moment that invites choice. What are we ready to bring forth? And what, if we’re honest, still needs time in the soil?

I used to rush everything. I lived in a world of “do, do, do,” afraid that if I stopped, I’d fall behind or miss my chance. But over the years, I’ve unlearned that pattern. I’ve begun to trust my own inner clock — that sacred rhythm that belongs only to me. And I’ve come to see that perfect timing has nothing to do with the outside world.

It’s an inside job.

The Myth of Being Behind

We live in a culture obsessed with urgency. Productivity is prized, stillness is shamed, and we’re constantly told that success only comes to those who hustle hard and act fast. But what if that’s not true for us?

What if the feminine path doesn’t follow a straight line?
What if our timing is not late, but wise?

In nature, nothing blooms all year long. The tree doesn’t rush her blossoms. The seed doesn’t panic underground. Yet we, as women, are taught to ignore our natural cycles — to override the sacred signals of rest, reflection, and readiness.

No more.

The Feminine Clock

To live as a cyclical being is to honour your own seasons. Your own tides. Your own yes and no.

Some days we bloom.
Some days we bleed.
Some days we burn.
Some days we are still and quiet, weaving things no one else can see.

This is the feminine way. And in this way, we remember that we are never behind. We are never too much. We are never too late.

We are always exactly where we are meant to be.

Beltane Fire vs Burnout

Beltane invites the fire — the spark of life, creation, and sacred sexuality. But this fire is not meant to burn us out. It’s meant to light us up from within.

It’s easy to mistake this rising energy as a cue to push harder. To launch something before we’re ready. To say yes because it’s “the right time.” But the true Beltane flame is an invitation to be discerning.

What do I desire to grow?
What is ready to rise — and what isn’t, yet?

Not everything needs to be birthed right now. And not every call is yours to answer. This is the magic of pausing before the leap. Listening before the doing.

The Sacred Pause

Perfect timing is presence.

It’s the quiet knowing that comes when we stop running and come home to ourselves. It’s not loud or flashy. It doesn’t need to convince you. It simply is.

When we honour the sacred pause, we create space for our intuition to speak. For our womb to guide us. For our body to tell us what it knows. And in that space, we remember that nothing outside of us knows better than the wisdom within.

The world may say, “Hurry.”
But your soul says, “Wait.” Or maybe… “Now.”
Only you know.

A Whisper, Not a Shout

The Sanctuary has opened its doors, but not in a blaze of urgency. Not in a campaign of pressure. She opens gently — like a garden gate left ajar — waiting for the women who feel the call. The ones who know, deep down, that it’s time to live differently.

To slow down.
To stop performing.
To honour the wisdom in your bones.
To choose sisterhood over striving.
To live in rhythm, not reaction.

This is your permission slip to trust your own unfolding. To bloom when you’re ready. To be the woman who chooses divine timing over the illusion of being “on time.”

A Beltane Gift for You

If you need a moment to tune back in — to your own rhythm, your own breath, your own becoming — I recorded a Beltane meditation for just that purpose. You can find it here. Let it be a gentle nudge back into your centre.

And if the Sanctuary is calling you — not loudly, but quietly, from somewhere sacred inside — the door is open. Not just today, but whenever your perfect timing arrives.

You are not behind.
You are right on time.
You are a woman in rhythm.
And that is more than enough.

With love,
