Venus is talking. She is calling us to nurture and attract love. It is essential that we return magic and romance to our relationships, starting with our self-intimacy. We need to take time to heal our heart and listen to its quiet wisdom. When the Goddess talks, I listen. As a priestess of the Goddess, it is my joy to let the light of her love shine upon everyone I meet. So I've decided to do not one, not two, but THREE Oh! so romantic and magical events to celebrate St. Valentine.
For all of you beautiful ladies living outside New York, I will celebrate another of our magical ceremonies in the Dream Alchemist Radio Show on Monday, on Monday, February 9, 2009. Invoking Venus will guide you in the ritual of creating a Venus Dream Basket to keep, nurture or attract your Soulmate and to make you divinely sizzling and magnetic for this year.
For those of you who live in New York, I invite you to join me LIVE in the first of my Dream Alchemist Medicine Talks at the lovely French-style Samba Cafe in East Harlem. We will be talking about The 7 Faces of Romantic Love. Join me on Sunday, February 15 at 3PM for a friendly and inspiring conversation on romantic love. Come earlier for an excellent Brunch.
Finally, for all of you who treasure your girlfriends and want to do something special for them in St. Valentine, I have created an charming event. No matter where you are in the USA, you can gather your girlfriends for an inspiring conversation and art show with me. Let's celebrate the art of friendship this month with a special Private Online Friendship Group, just your friends, you and me in my cyber studio for an enchanting experience.
I wish you self-acceptance and self-love so complete and powerful that they attract and ignite your Soulmate in an irresistible embrace.

Set Yourself on Fire! A true story of my journey through love
"“When you truly give up trying to be whole through others, you end up receiving what you always wanted from others.” Shakti Gawain
I’m a veteran of many love wars and I have the scars to prove it. What has stayed with me, however, is not the pain, but the blessings love has given me. I have been blessed with meeting not one, but three Soulmates.
I have lived three separate lifetimes in this life. In each life, I was a different woman. Each of these women met her soulmate, and each of them lost him. I want to share with you the journey of these three women, so that you find in this story the signs that may guide you in your own search or relation with your soulmate.
The Young Poet I met Victor when I was blooming. I was bursting out of the cocoon where I had been growing. I exuded poetry. My spiritual powers were also emerging, but I was completely clueless. I was hungry for magic, love, poetry and freedom. In short, I was hungry for all the things I was and already had inside me. The problem was that I did not stop long enough, dive deep enough, or love myself fully enough to know this. Victor was my Sacred Mirror: a sort of romantic hero who handled words with the same flair as he championed political freedom. I did not know then that a man who believes that power is control is terrified of a woman’s spiritual power. When the telepathic powers between us grew beyond rational explanation, Victor escaped, shortly after we began planning our wedding.
The Passionate Dancer It took me many years to get over my heartbreak, but I did not stop to grieve or reflect on my experience. I was too scared to feel the depth of my pain. Then I met Omar. You know that you’ve come home when you fit into each other’s arms like hand and glove. It took me a while to open my heart again, however. But Omar was in no hurry. We walked the streets of New York, spreading magic wherever we went. People could not resist turning their heads and smiling as we passed them by. When we danced, the orchestra would stop to dedicate the music to us. Our aura was captivating. When we finally made love, it was perfect, exquisite. It was as sacred sex should be. We went to heaven in each other’s arms. When we woke up the next morning, both of us were terrified. Neither of us was ready for the perfection of our union. We began looking for excuses and disappeared, each running in a different direction. I closed my heart with lock and bolt.
The Artist But the heart of a poet cannot be closed forever, or her poetry withers. I met Marcello in Christmas Eve. We were both grieving for a lost love. We went out to drown our loneliness in the celebrations. The minute our eyes met, two stars that had illumined us from afar dove into them, becoming one. From that moment on, it was painful to part. Marcello was an artist. He introduced me to visual arts, which years later I would develop professionally. Again, I was meeting a Sacred Mirror. Marcello’s presence was like a tree, silent, rooted on the green earth and healing. We communicated without words, feeling each other’s presence in our bones. By now, I was a bit wiser and knew that I had a rare jewel in my hands, a miracle that had been given to me for a third time. I would not let it go out of fear. But Marcello did. He was married. I found out too late, when my heart was already his. Though he loved me, Marcello was too scared to leave his well-built life for this magical adventure that may or not work. For years, we struggled with a relation that wounded our integrity. Finally, I decided that our love would have to transcend our desire if it was to honor our spirit. We parted as friends. Marcello left me an important knowledge. He showed me exactly the way I wanted to be loved.
The Wise Woman There was a time in which I sought love to escape from myself. There was a time in which I cherished my beloved as a surrogate for the love I should have given myself.
That was a long, long time ago. I have achieved everything that I sought in my beloved. I love and accept myself completely, and that’s a mouthful! I have awakened all my creative powers. I own the magic that I am, the love that pours generously from me, the joy and passion that emanate from my Essence. I have a poem that sums it up.
You are the guest. I am the festivity.
What I discovered is that passion, magic and romance must first nest in our hearts, thrive in our bodies and dance through our daily lives. Only then, can we attract, and more importantly, retain these qualities in our love relationship. We must romance life. We must enchant ourselves. We must set ourselves on fire. That is, dear sisters and brothers, the most powerful invocation to love.
