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…

The Woman in the Moon
We’ve all heard the saying, “the man in the moon.” But what exactly does that mean? By using analogies related to the moon, what emerges after the “new moon” (the darkness of being in the raw) is the first crescent – a peek at what’s to come. A “new you” begins to emerge as life’s many layers are slowly peeled off – and we begin to see the brightness shining from underneath all the rubble. This is our inner light. All of a sudden, we become that woman in the moon – a woman with a very unique face, a face that we can call our own. When you look at a waxing crescent moon, you can see the tip of a face that’s beginning to emerge. The…

Unleashing Your Inner Goddess
Picture yourself standing in front of a forest with a desire to move through it to the other side. You notice the vastness of the forest, filled with possibilities – and you become eager and curious about the path that will lead you through it and what you might find. Your Inner Goddess (your authentic voice) is whispering to you – to boldly venture through the forest, so she can fully unleash her beauty in the light of your unknowingness, helping you see and connect with your untapped potential. But in order to get through the forest and out on the other side, you’re keenly aware that there may be risks involved – and a willingness to try something new. What will it take to…

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! 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…

Journaling by the Moonlight – Facilitator Training
The Journaling by the Moonlight (JBTM) brand is expanding! After receiving numerous requests to bring this body of work to other parts of the world and to a variety of audiences, I made the decision to structure the program in a way that allows for creative teaching through an array of different lenses. And one of the ways to do this is to open a global circle that will allow others to facilitate the Journaling by the Moonlight process in way that’s tailored to a particular audience. Originally created for mothers, this unique process is ideal for creative and spiritually-minded individuals who yearn for a deeper connection to self, and who are ready to tap into their inner light – what I call the “full moon within” – and claim their authentic self,…
