December is here… and so is the light. 🌕✨

I want to say thank you to everyone who came out to the book signing at COAS Books this past weekend. It was truly beautiful—deep conversations, warm hugs, new friendships, and the spirit of story alive in every page.

My audiobook is almost ready! 🎧
Following Earth Mother’s Heartbeat will be available on Audible very soon. I’ve spent many hours in the studio pouring love and prayer into every word. I can’t wait for you to hear it.

This week’s Full Moon (Dec 4) is a powerful one.
She brings transformation, activation, and healing—preparing us for the Winter Solstice on Dec 20. Be open to the messages. Drum. Pray. Walk gently with Earth Mother.

And remember—the time of the feminine is here.
We are rising. We are showing up. And we are remembering our power.

With love,
Yolanda

The Sacred Heartbeat of Tradition 🌿✨

For generations, the drum has been at the center of Indigenous ceremonies, storytelling, and healing. But why?

Because the drum is more than an instrument, it is a voice, a prayer, a connection to Earth Mother and the ancestors. 🌎💖 Every beat carries intention, every rhythm holds a message.

What does the drum mean to you?

04/17/2025

Every beat carries energy, grounding us, lifting us, and reconnecting us to Spirit. Science and tradition both tell us: we are energy, vibration and light and we know the rhythm heals.

Eases stress & anxiety: Let the rhythm calm your mind.
Enhances mental clarity: Find focus in the flow.
Balances energy & emotions: Align with your natural rhythm.
Deepens spiritual connection: Feel the heartbeat of Earth Mother.
Strengthens community & belonging: Drumming unites us.

Have you ever felt the healing power of drumming? Share your experience below! ⬇️

04/15/2025

Drumming is more than sound, it’s a connection to Earth, Spirit, and Self. Whether you seek grounding, energy, or deep meditation, your rhythm can guide you.
