It doesn’t matter how old you are, or how much time or lifetimes you think you wasted conforming and performing. Nothing has been wasted. Everything has served. Everything was there for you and your soul’s growth. But whenever you decide to dwell within your own inner landscape—the sacred realm of personal power and purpose, you will find precious clues to the treasures and adventures God placed there for you.   You don’t have to believe me. You only have to believe in you.   By Mayra Porrata | comments: mayra@solarapublishing.com ©2026 Solara Publishing, LLC

Though my writing often points out the mysterious and wondrous complexity of being a human being, the point of it is this: you don’t have to understand any of it to appreciate and accept yourself. Love is its own language and intelligence. It transforms matter, distance, and illusion. It needs no conditions, only your allowance.

As a late-diagnosed neuro-spicy woman, I naturally experienced socio-cultural confusion and confounded others with my deeply grounded, yet open-hearted and humanitarian points of view. If only I could have told them that my moon was in Capricorn in my 5 th house— along with my dark moon, Venus, and Mercury; a super complicated but creative stellium for sure! Or, I could have said that my Virgo-rising with 4 complicated placements (Pluto, Uranus, Vertex, and Mars) was at constant odds with my sweet, humanitarian Aquarian sun. Or that my Chiron, the wounded healer of all wounded healers was in my 7 th house of partnerships and friendships—in Pisces of all places! Or when asked why I wrote so many spiritual books I could have stated that Neptune was in Scorpio—in my 3 rd house of communications and that in tandem with Jupiter, the most powerful, benefic planet in our solar system, was working across the way (lol) with Taurus in my 9 th house —the house of spirituality, travel, a...

It’s not that far a stretch to consider that if we can be tough on ourselves, we can also be soft. Imagine if more of us treated ourselves with tenderness and kindness--- stopped objectifying ourselves, our bodies, and others, we would have more time to pursue our dreams, live our passions, and honor the calling of our hearts.   By Mayra Porrata | comments: mayra@solarapublishing.com ©2026 Solara Publishing, LLC

The collision of artificial tech/forms with human ingenuity and creativity is in full display. Some call this late or end-stage capitalism—and it does feel like the death of something for sure. Mass layoffs, greed on steroids, and hazardous and extractive initiatives that prioritize technology over human beings are all symptoms of the last gasp of an economic system that’s at odds with humans, wisdom, and with life itself—literally. It appears as if something important was overlooked in all the planning and ‘winning’ frenzy and it is this: the end user, the consumer, always decides which innovations take root and which are rejected. [See Diffusion of innovations theory, Everett Rogers]. Data and intelligence are yesterday’s innovation. The future belongs to the creative, thoughtful, and kind—the human heart is who and what ultimately decides.  By Mayra Porrata | comments: mayra@solarapublishing.com ©2026 Solara Publishing, LLC

When children are respected and supported by parents, this doesn’t inoculate them from life challenges or hardships, but it generally guarantees they grow up without shame—being proud of who they are. Shame is a punishing mental program that tells the thinker: “there is something wrong with you”. That’s the opposite of pride—of respecting and embracing who one is. Even if we ourselves don’t fully understand every complexity or paradox within us, embracing ourselves helps moderate our fears about being different or unlovable. In fact, the recognition of one’s diversity -- the ways you are unique and the deeper appreciation of identity (your own) is critical to your development as a human being and as a soul. June is Pride month-- a celebration of identify and human joy. Whether you like Pride month, or LQBTQ people, or parades or not is not the point. This is an opportunity for you/me/we to turn the lens inward and honor and celebrate the living spirit within each and all of us....
