Activating the Light of the Summer Solstice Full Moon
Last night, I walked into my home office to check my calendar for today’s schedule – and before I could turn on the light, this caught my eye. It was the full moon shining brightly through the front window. Her light was so rich that I just sat there, drawn to the bigness of it. This particular full moon is more than just a full moon. It’s a full-throttle welcome to the summer season – a time of celebration and light. And because the two are coinciding – the summer solstice and the full moon, it gives us a double-dose of light, inviting us to step into the bigness of who we are. So whatever it is you’ve been pondering or dabbling in, or even tapping…

Opening the Door to a Creative and Juicy Life
On a recent winter evening walk, I couldn’t help but take in the beauty of our lunar goddess as she began to make her way out of darkness and into her first sliver of light. It was a glorious sight! It was just enough light to see the definition of the moon in the night sky, bringing her out of complete darkness – but not quite enough light for the waxing crescent phase. It reminded me of those many times in my life, when I would peek my head out of that place of “not knowing” into the light of possibility. Getting a glimpse of the light, both inner and outer, always stirred an excitement within me. This is the beauty of the waxing crescent moon phase – a peek at what’s…

The Gift of a Blood Moon Eclipse
Happy Full Moon Monday! Were you able to view the glorious full moon eclipse last night? Did you see the Blood Moon make her appearance? Here’s one of the photos I took during my three hours of watching this magnificent sight unfold in the night sky. After several attempts, I finally got a good shot! Blood Moons have been known throughout history as a good omen. They signal a big change or a significant event that’s just over the horizon. When we’re standing on the edge of transformation, the universe likes to give us gentle nudges with whispers of “it’s time.” And it’s in that moment of pause that we’re invited to breathe it all in – contemplating the opportunity that’s in front of us. Like the Blood Moon Eclipse,…

The Gift of the Waxing Crescent: Who Are You, Really?
On a recent winter evening walk, I couldn’t help but take in the beauty of our lunar goddess as she began to make her way out of darkness and into her first sliver of light. It was a glorious sight!

Are You Showing Up for the Wonders in Your Life?
I’ve just returned from a magical week in Iceland – where I experienced one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The Northern Lights have been on my “bucket list” for a few years – and it took my 12-year-old daughter’s growing interest in them for us to finally take action by scheduling a winter vacation on this glorious Nordic island located within the Arctic Circle. And after witnessing them up close and personal, I can say this – the aurora borealis is truly spectacular! Not knowing what to expect, I was both pleasantly surprised and truly captivated by this extraordinary sight. Mother Nature sure knows how to put on a good show! And with just the right conditions (a cold, clear, and frosty winter night…
