Diana is a Roman goddess - nature, fertility, children, providence and harvest are other attributes relating to her. She is often depicted with her hunting dogs, deer and an archer's bow. Her short skirt is not for attracting male attention, but is a symbol of freedom - she remains free to leap through the forests and touch the sky with her outstretched fingers.

Her father, Zeus, gave her the gift of eternal chastity, which we can choose to interpret as the ability to never fall victim to force, persuasion or misplaced guilt.


She resounds with the wild places in our inner psyches, the parts within us that hunger for more than our daily routine.

If Diana is speaking to you today, you've just about had it up to here! Over the past few months, the spirit of adventure-loving Diana has been welling up within you. Sadly, your busy lifestyle and other circumstances probably make an escape (and "time out") seem like an impossible dream. You've got commitments you simply can't turn your back on.

The good news is, Diana, as goddess of the hunt, enjoys pursuing her dreams as much, if not more, than she enjoys fulfilling them. There is no doubt you will be successful in your quest to quench the needs of the wild-child within.


If you can't jump on a plane, or take off on a motorbike, try taking a walk in a place with nature. As you walk slowly, aware of your footstep on every square of earth, pick up any stone, twig, leaf or feather that catches your eye. Repeat your affirmation while carrying the gift from nature and remember that Diana's power is with you the entire day.


...  If she were in your situation, she would indulge the wild child within. Without hesitation nor fear of consequences, she would honour her need for adventure and escape to the outdoors.

They are 100% pure - this means they are not diluted with a carrier oil or base oil, and are therefore very powerful and transformative. Trade enquiries welcome

As you may recall, I've been busy over the past couple of weeks launching my new book, The Goddess DIET, at the Mind Body Spirit Festival in Melbourne and various book stores around Australia.

In between events, I ducked up to the far north-east corner of Western Australia to conduct a wedding service in the outback. It was on the banks of the Pentecost River (the location of the "first kiss" between Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman in the movie, Australia).

I ended up spending five days there, being completely wowed by the stunning landscape and environment of the Kimberleys. It was such a beautiful time-out for me, under the stars with the milky way so thick and rich it moved my husband to comment, "they get full cream up here." (And he's not one to crack jokes, so it was especially funny coming from him, ha ha).

On top of that, last night I put my 15-year-old son on a plane to England for his school trip. (Good huh? In my days a school trip was a dusty old bush camp down the road! LOL)

Furthermore, yes, there's more... I'm heading to Brisbane tomorrow to offer two seminars at the Mind Body Spirit Festival (details below), followed by a Goddess Playshop Facilitator Info Night and a Training Day, followed by two weeks of road-tripping to Sydney offering book readings and Goddess Playshops along the way. (Check out the Events page for info.)

So, on the 6th June, when it came to spend two hours putting a newsletter together, I had a choice. I could a) let my tired eyes bleed as I compile the weekly newsletter, or b) honour the "Goddess Time" that my body was desperately craving and instead sit under the Kimberley stars with my man, my baby and a glass of wine.

Goddess sister, which option would you choose?

I'm so grateful to all those who emailed asking where their weekly "goddess fix" was, and for sharing their concern that something might be wrong. I had no idea a newsletter here or there would be missed! And why would I? In 10 years of writing these newsletters I've never missed a week!

And so, I do apologise for causing concern; for disappearing beneath the radar for a little while. However, I hope that my recalcitrance might come to some good, if this Diana-energy inspires you to do the same this week! I promise you, you'll feel rejuvenated beyond belief - after all, that's what Goddess Time is for. In fact, let's make it a challenge.


Your challenge is to do something this week to honour Diana. How are you going to escape routine? Find joy in crossing comfort zones? Fly beneath the radar? Delegate? Take time that you deserve? Whether it's a five-minute escape or a five-day adventure, share it here!


Dates and times are announced for Anita Revel's free seminars at the Mind Body Spirit Festival in Brisbane this week:

* Friday 26 June, 10.30am: "Reconnect With Your Inner Goddess" FREE VOUCHERS FOR ALL ATTENDEES
       
* Saturday 27 June, 2.30pm: "The Goddess DIET, See a Goddess in the Mirror in 21 Days"

Come and join in the fun, meet the author, and re-ignite that spark you've got lying within :-).

Some people think that being goddess has to be hard work. Truth is, being goddess is as easy as a walk in the park. Best of all, it only takes three easy steps to become goddess...
