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…

What Can You Create Using What You Already Have?
It’s a wonderful time of year for fresh starts and new beginnings – and opportunities to see things a bit differently than you may have before. Have you ever looked into your food pantry and dreamed up a dish using the ingredients you already have – without a need to go out to the grocery story? Imagine for a moment – using this analogy in your current life, business, or creative process. What can you “cook up” using the ingredients you already have? We’ll be moving into a new moon phase this weekend in the practical and resourceful sign of Capricorn. It’s a great time to review what you already have in place, both personally and professionally – and begin to look for creative ways to…

Are You a Tall Poppy in a Field of Daffodils?
Happy New Moon! A new moon phase always brings a time of new beginnings. It’s a period when the sky is completely black, with the exception of little sparkles of light in the form of stars. It’s the point in every month when the moon takes a retreat and begins to grow again, redoubling her light and reflecting new creative energy on all worldly things. It marks an ideal time for connecting with our inner selves and our heart’s desire. By looking for the “light” and knowing that it’s there, somewhere, waiting to be discovered – we can reach a place where our personal reflection begins to shed its own light. What wants to emerge? What wants to be born? This is a time when dots start to…

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,…
