My personal views are that She is in both places. She is the landscape in all of its varied forms, and some of Her energy can be found in every flower and fish, etc. But She is also embodied in the form of Womankind, in each and every one of us. And while I will not call myself as a goddess the same and divine female energy that inhabits an elder, both are expressions of the divine female.
However, as she points out, it can be difficult to come to such an inner source for help - since it is within and we often perceive help as needing to come from somewhere other than ourselves. (Which is an interesting quandary in and of itself.)
The other concept of Goddess, as a vast external force serves as a consolation. That we may feel like children and followers to Her. However, with that there can be the extreme of Her being too impersonal, too perfect, and beyond human contemplation.
As with anything, a healthy balance and moderation is a worthwhile approach in Goddess work.
