Is It Time For A Change?
For many years I believed I was a fickle – an OH SO FICKLE gal.
Little did I know that my desire to change it up was a gift! An innate ability to flow like a river and deep desire play with archetypes. I’ve always embraced change, all kinds of change… and still do. Virgo, my Sun Sign is a mutable Earth sign… so, even though I am an Earth sign, I F-L-O-W when needed!
I’m always re-inventing myself and allowing myself to bloom in exactly the way that feels authentic to me in the moment – no apologies.
I love learning new things about my favorite subjects (metaphysics, personal growth, holistic health, beauty, design and theology), playing with different archetypes, changing up my personal style and my hair, etc.
I’ve always been particularly fond of changing my hair color (cutting it not so much). I change my hair color as easily as I change the paint on the walls in my home, it’s as simple as rolling a new color right on over the old one if you decide you don’t care for it.
My hair has been every color of the rainbow over the years; red, blond, black, streaked with purple – you name it – I have rocked it! At the moment I have very long dark brown hair with CRANBERRY pure pigment balayage. I must admit and emphasize that I get my hair colored professionally. Hair color can be a complicated process, so I leave it in the hands of professionals that I trust.
Is It Time For A Change?
An essential part of living a Goddess Life is being open to change and not allowing yourself to get “hooked on a feeling” or into a rut with your personal style. Activate the Element of Water within you and flow…
When I color my hair a new shade, I feel like a totally different woman. The new look activates an unearthed archetype that I pleasure in experiencing; Enchantress, Dominatrix, Magic Maker, Alchemist, Damsel… trust me when I tell you that it’s a whole lot of fun to route power that way.

Thanks for this post. I have become a bit stuck in a rut. I’ve never thought of changing my hair color, for example, even though I do color the grey….. changing my style is something I do have to think about.
AWESOME LILIA! I am so glad that my article inspired you to take a look at your Goddess Style!
Great questions! My wardrobe is in a rut, for sure. The same old stuff for way too long. Especially my boring winter clothes. I think what holds me back from changing this is simple: money and time. I want to invest in high quality clothes but I rarely make the time to go shop for those clothes. Something’s got to change!
Nancy! Start slow darling. Really hone in on your Goddess Style and begin infusing your wardrobe with those items. Rome wasn’t built in a day and re-inventing or updating your authentic look need not stress your finances. I am so glad my article inspired you! xo
Lisa you and I are cut from the same sort of cloth I think. Was just talking to my own hair stylist about a serious change in color…poor fellow – HE gets really stressed by my sudden changes! Thank goodness he is so good at what he does. I love changing up my style..in fact my style changes from day to day in a lot of ways, but rarely do I feel the need to follow something because it’s trendy.
Beautiful journal questions!
Thank you Bonnie, I am over the MOON thrilled you enjoyed my journaling questions. I too never follow trends but beat to the drum of my intuition regarding my Goddess Style. Love you! xo
I’m with Nancy; my hair is fine but my clothes – ughh. Working from home has definitely made my wardrobe suffer! What works for me is to schedule several outings a week, which spurs me to dress with more bazazz.
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT Nancy! So … if I were to be totally transparent, I do NOT sit in my home office in black tie attire… however rocking my signature Goddess Style is a must! So I make sure that my wardrobe is always authentic to who I am (and a bit of lipstick helps too 😉 )
Omg! If you only could see my closet! I always thought I was weird because I have many different “flavors” of Kelly. Some days if want to be sassy and sexy ( ok… That’s what I like a LOT ) but there are days I wanna be In a fluffy robe all day… Or jeans and my rocker tee. Heels one day. Clunky boots another… My mood changes like the wind and I’m so glad I AM normal in feeling that way! The only thing you will never ever see me in is mom jeans or sneakers!
Kelley, I must admit that my closet contains 50 Shades Of Lisa. My style goes from powerful leather pieces to boho to magical to comfy sweatpants and sweatshirts and my mood changes like the wind too! The only sneakers I rock are Converse! 😉
OMG you’ve described how I feel every time I change my hair color and why I change it so often. LOL I’m so glad to have figured it out.
I constantly reinvent myself. My theme this year is “Embrace the Crone”. I’ve quit doing a bunch of things that I find tedious (except for my current work…ha!). I quit coloring my hair and then lopped it all off so that the wisdom highlights can take center stage. And I love it. I got my nose pierced because I’ve always wanted to do it and NOW was the time. I love my little diamond stud…now I always have some bling with me! My daughter and son-in-law graced me with my first grand-daughter 2 weeks ago, so…”Call me Mimi, because I’m too cool to be a grandma”! And don’t be surprised if I’m spotted pushing a stroller in bike leathers.
WHOO HOO Ann! I have always wanted a nose piercing- you inspire me Sister! You are totally a Mimi, waaay too cool to be a grandma. Keep rocking your Crone beautiful! xo
