Body talk with Goddess Leonie
January 12th, 2010
Late last week, I had the opportunity to chat with the beautiful Goddess Leonie about the body and some of the fabulous things she's up to in the world. I love how we're able to chat like this from opposite ends of the world (I'm on the east coast of the U.S. and Leonie is in Australia.) And I loved seeing our opposites in the seasons (summer for her, winter for me) and our dark and light hair. Why I get such a kick out of these things, I'm not sure, but I do! It was like a little video yin-yang!
The sound is a little wonky (not matching our lips) in the first part of our chat, but it gets better. And it's worth listening to to hear Leonie's great tips about connecting with the body. Plus, you'll get to see two cat cameos (aka video bombers.) 
To drink in more of Leonie's awesomeness, I highly recommend checking out her Creating Your Goddess Year Planner and Workbook. It's 40 beautifully illustrated pages that you can download and print at home and use to bring closure to your 2009 and plan your amazing 2010.
Leonie's also got some courses starting up soon, including the Radiant Goddess e-course (which you can purchase with the Goddess Planner for a discount) and the Creative Goddess e-course (both of which start up on January 17th.) And you can always find Leonie on her beautiful blog, Goddess Guidebook.

Leah,
Having just been through a year and a half “journey” that has brought me to a new appreciation for my body, I have to say I could relate to many of the things you and Leonie discussed in your video. Making a decision and jumping on it right away is an awesome thing to do! I like what she said about not over thinking things. And something you said about the ebb & flow of ideas speaks to how I have been trying to live. To let my art be interpetive and to just go with what I am feeling. Now, 82 pounds lighter…I feel so good in this body everyday. I really listen to my body rhythms now more than ever. I’m renewed and invigorated to get up and go!!! I hope I never stop listening to my body or to my muse!!

Dear Creative Leah and Goddess Leonie – What a wonderful and delightful interview! It was so nice to see both of you talking back and forth like old friends – it just flowed. And my cat watched the whole video with me and seemed to enjoy it
Have not really given much conscious thought to my body lately and need to listen to her more. Have recovered each time from several injuries (I’m clumsy) and am very thankful every day that my hands work well to make art and my feet take me where I want to go. Thank you so much for sharing <3

What an excellent way to spend 24.02 minutes listening to you interview Leonie. The practices of hands-and-feet in dirt and outside sunrise and sunset, I love these. Though winter is a bit cool to be dig bare extremities into the soil around here. I settle for a daily walk in the woods. Lovely piece of work. Congratulations to you both.
