And this week's Goddess for 13 Goddesses challenge is Japanese Amaterasu. She is the goddess of sun and universe. Her whole name, Amaterasu-ōmikami, means the great august kami (god) who shines in the heaven.
Also Amaterasu teaches us strength in adversity and to develop the humor and fortitude required to bounce back after a bad incident with double the force and rigor.

P.S. I have something exciting coming up. :) I have finally put everything together and now all it's left is for me to figure out how to present it since my original plan fell through. So, I'm whispering very quietly right now for you are the first one to know. :) My first ever workshop is coming up. It's true! I'm so excited and I hope you will be too. :)) I'll have all the details ready soon.
