• How Will You Illuminate the World?

    As we settle into autumn’s first full moon phase, here’s a great quote to ponder – “You have to find what sparks a light in you, so that you – in your own way – can illuminate the world.” Take a moment to connect with your inner spark. How does it get ignited? What is happening within you and around you when your feel on fire? What is the “it” that lights you up every time you come in contact with it – or even think about it? And how does “this” reflect the uniqueness in you? How does it want to be expressed creatively? These are great questions to take into your journal under the light of a full autumn moon. And if you’d like…

  • Full Moon Rising – The Gift in Your Life Story

    Tonight’s full moon, referred to as a “pink moon” – symbolizes a blossoming of potential.

  • The Magic of a Full Moon Phase

    One of the gifts that the full moon gives us is an overwhelming desire to come alive. Whether that’s bringing a passion front and center or finally making the decision to take a giant leap forward in a new direction that is fully aligned with our creative purpose. Imagine driving through a fast food window and placing an order – only this time the menu lists the one thing that you’ve been contemplating for quite some time. Perhaps it’s that life-changing book you’ve been working on for eons, but keep finding yourself facing one creative block after another. Or maybe it’s that passion-filled business that you’ve been wanting to start, but you haven’t yet gotten the courage to just go for it. Or it could…

  • How Does Autumn Inspire Rich Colors of Change for You?

You can sense that everything is changing – in preparation for a new cycle. In nature, there is…
