• 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,…

  • How Can a Breakdown Lead to a Breakthrough?

    We’ll be moving into a full moon phase this week in the astrological sign of Taurus. This will combine the intense energy of a Scorpio Sun with the grounding energy of a Taurus Moon. For many of us, the past month has felt like being in the midst of a breakdown – almost tornado-like with no sense of when (or where) we might be landing. Because Taurus and Scorpio are both fixed signs, there is a strong energy that stares us in the face, asking us to get a grip. It’s time to make the most of what we have. It’s time to bloom where we’re planted. It’s time to be resourceful. It’s time to make a decision. In other words, how can you best…

  • Are You Ready for this Full Moon’s “Leap of Faith?”

    Another full moon phase is upon us – and it brings with it energy of “forward movement.”  This is because it lands in the astrological sign of Aries – which activates our inner risk-taker. When the full moon is in Aries, she gives us what we need to spring forward with a giant leap, even if it feels risky. Her energy can literally push us to the edge of our comfort zone, beckoning us to “take a leap of faith.” And if we’re ready, and I mean REALLY ready, this leap could pay off in a meaningful and impactful way. As artist and author Margaret Shepherd once said, “Sometimes your only available transportation is a leap of faith.”  We all arrive at periods in our life…

  • Is There More To Life Than This?

    There must be more to life than this! Has this thought ever popped into your mind? And more importantly, has it popped up recently? If so, you’re not alone! ~ More and more people are feeling deeply dissatisfied with their businesses and job situations, their relationships, their income, even their future potential.  They want big change, but they don’t know how to make it happen fast enough – or even at all. The great Nelson Mandela once said, “There is no passion to be found in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” Like so many of my friends and colleagues, I’m going through some major changes right now, both personally and professionally. A lot is shifting within me and around me…
