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…

Step into Your Moxie
As a certified creativity and self-empowerment coach, I create safe and sacred space for highly-creative and spiritually-minded women who are ready to discover, empower, and activate their authentic voice and bring it into light – which is why I’ve invited author Alexia Vernon to join me on my blog today. Her new book, Step into Your Moxie: Amplify Your Voice, Visibility, and Influence in the World – published by New World Library, presents a soul-stirring call to action for women to speak up for themselves and the ideas and issues that matter most to them. And the timing couldn’t be more perfect! In this age of women’s empowerment, as ever increasing numbers of women are finding their voices, speaking their truths, and daring to take…

The Art of Creative Surrender
Imagine a white canvas in front of you – and a vision in your mind of blues and greens and purples – so you begin to paint, carefully placing your brush on the canvas as you blend the colors – and suddenly, you knock a jar of brown paint onto your palette. What then? Do you clean it up? Do you start again? Or do you wonder what the synchronicity of the spillage might be telling you? What wants to be noticed? What wants to be included? When we allow ourselves to get attached to a specific outcome, we can rob ourselves of an opportunity to engage in miraculous creation – the kind that comes from creative surrender. What happens when we let go –…

Dancing with the Gift of Contrast
Our lunar goddess is rich with wisdom. Through her phases, she teaches us how to move from darkness into light with the gracefulness of a ballroom dance. We step in, we step out – and we circle back around again. And with each step of this dance, we gain a new experience – a new awareness. What do we receive in darkness that we may not see in the light? And how does the light magnify what’s tucked away in darkness? This is where the gift of contrast comes in – and how the wisdom of the moon serves as a wonderful teacher. Imagine looking up at the night sky during a first quarter lunar phase – and seeing a moon that’s half lit. It…

How Will the Full Flower Moon Inspire You?
This week brings a very powerful full moon phase in the astrological sign of Scorpio. This is the most intense sign of the zodiac – and when it coincides with a full moon, it brings us an opportunity to break free from old patterns and begin claiming the life that we REALLY want. So be prepared for the intensity! This full moon is also known as the Full Flower Moon, inspiring an “inner blooming” that will transcend into every part of your life. This “ripple effect” has the potential to change your life in big and dramatic ways that are quite magical! It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes by well-known journal writer and novelist, Anais Nin. “And the day came when the risk…
