I invite you to get out your journal and answer the following questions.

Remember, you can make the process as ritualistic or as simple as you’d like. I love lighting a candle before journaling, and blowing it out when I’m finished.

1. When I look at my father's line… What are the gifts that are there? What pain or patterns are there?

2. When I look at my mother's line… What are the gifts that are there? What pain or patterns are there?

3. What is my relationship with the masculine?

4. What is my relationship with the feminine?
