Being Under the Influence of a Full Flower Moon
For the past few days, we’ve been under the influence of a full flower moon. You may be sensing an “inner blooming” – like petals of a flower unfolding, with the various effects transcending into every part of your life – personally, professionally and creatively. Maybe you’re experiencing gentle nudges out of your comfort zone? Perhaps you’re being guided toward creating big shifts in your life? It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes by well-known journal writer and novelist, Anais Nin. What intentions are being unearthed in you – bringing you to the Flower Moon’s bloom? What is ready to be seen in full moon light? These are lovely questions to bring into next month’s Moonlight Journaling Retreat – where we’ll be dabbling with…

A New Year of New Beginnings
As you begin to move into another new year filled with opportunities for new beginnings, notice what is starting to stir in you. Allow yourself to connect with any emotions that are rising to the surface. Pay attention to what synchronicities are suddenly appearing. What is being awakened within you? What is beginning to bloom around you? Take a moment to ponder these questions, then read the poem below. For a New Beginning In out-of-the-way places of the heart, Where your thoughts never think to wander, This beginning has been quietly forming, Waiting until you were ready to emerge.

The Gift of the Winter Solstice
Welcome to the Winter Solstice! Today marks the longest night of the year as nature gives us an extended period of darkness. Mother Nature knows that a certain amount of darkness is always needed in order to see – and to truly appreciate – the “light” of possibility. On this day of the Winter Solstice, take some time to connect with your inner light – that authentic voice inside of you who has the potential to show up in a big way. How bright is your inner light? Let’s give her a name. Take a moment and close your eyes – and think about the potential of your inner light when she is shining brightly. What name captures the energy of this essence? Don’t over…

What Reality Are You Choosing?
As we move toward the darkest day of the year, I’m mindful of how much our outer landscape mirrors our inner one. What we think and how we’re feeling on the inside can affect what we see on the outside. If our inner light is burning bright, it allows us to see beauty and possibility in the most dire of circumstances. And if our inner light is dim – or completely burned out, we’ll only see what feels dark and challenging around us. How bright is your inner light? Is it lighting up a path of vision and possibility? Or are you feeling uninspired – with a lack of vision and clarity for what might be coming next in your life? Wouldn’t it be nice…
