Rising To the Light Of The Moon

SUPER BLUE BLOOD MOON

January 31st 2018

I really didn't feel like rolling out of bed this morning, until I was reminded about a lunar eclipse going on. Then I rolled down a hill while I was looking to set up the tripod, don't worry me and the camera are fine it was more like falling backwards. Luckily I had a view over the trees and snapped some shots, as the sun was setting on the horizon she hide from me. Read ya later lovelies the moon has set in motion some house organizing for the day.

I Spy In the Sky

I love to shoot Luna pics for Lunatics and Mars is out to play tonight. 

Inspired Action

I must confess that my o.c.d. scheduled self gets in the way of myself. A lot of great ideas and inspiration come to me and I memory bank them for the "oh when the house is clean and the chores are done, then I'll create." Kinda defeats the purpose of inspired action if it is not done in the moments of inspiration. So much creativity escapes me and I rarely am able to recapture the magical sparks of innovation. Here is what happens when the Universe has something to say about my behavior.

As the  Grandmother Moon  slowly rose into the sky making here presence known I stopped in awe and listened as she called to me to pay close attention to the whispers on the wind.

IF NOT NOW WHEN?

BE HERE NOW

DIVE THE DEEPS & EMERGE

YOU ARE THE SPARK!

Talk about about a powerful Quickening Moon for it shook loose in me the descent and strength of roots to release into the world my true Gypsy Spirit Rising. If you have ever experienced such a dance with nature that gave you an exchange of it's power after the music has ended you know how amazing I now feel. After my powwow with the Moon I was lite inside with that golden glow.

Back to the  inspired action thing, messages received. We shall see how it goes when that spark ignites and I drop everything in an instant to follow the muse. It can't be that bad right, just as long as I don't forget to pick up the kids from school l.o.l. I wish you a week of abundance in many forms and if you would love to share whats emerging for you let me know.

My Word For 2016

Total Eclipse of the Heart

On the night of September 27th 2015 a Super Blood Moon Eclipse occurred. This was truly a magical sight to see. I took progressive photos with my phone( sorry for the low grade images), then pieced them together into this poster, turned out pretty awesome I think.

During the day I collected dried up flowers, sage, rosemary and lavender. A smudge stick and potpourri were my full moon crafts.

Moon shadow play was so much fun, and we discovered this by accident. I was on the front porch pondering and wishing, while {M} played with his new knight set for Halloween.

 The moon beamed her glorious light over my house till dawn where she still hung out for awhile as I started a new day.

Summer Birthday Celebration

On Tuesday my lovely {L} turned double digits! That's right the big 10. Time seems to be flying by so fast especially on these hot summer days and splendid cooler summer nights. Last years birthday camp out went well and so {L} wished to have another one this year.

We set up tents and bought marshmallows for the campfire.... which never happened, it was still to hot at night for a fire. At least I have a stash for next time.

I made a quick camp sign out of the cardboard found at the bottom of the bottled water case. I had some scrap book pages in the craft cabinet and glued them on.

This bouquet came out beautifully. The roses are from the butterfly garden around the fountain. Lace and hot glue up- cycled my old spaghetti jar really nice. Add a solar light without the spike into the middle.

Simple patio set up. but enough to give a festive touch. Please excuse my gardening transplant pots on the side.

This is the result from the solar light, a luminescent nighttime bouquet. I definitely will experiment with these in the future.

The party went well under a magically lite sky by the Full Moon I special ordered just for her (wink).

This whole week has been pretty eventful and I'm really looking forward to this holiday weekend. We are trading in BBQ's and fireworks for sand, sun, and boardwalk fun. I wish you all a safe and sane Fourth of July.

Full Harvest Moon & Meanderings

Happy Moon day everyone. This morning I woke up to a chill floating through out the house, I did leave the windows open overnight because it was 97 degrees yesterday and we are without ac and my little homestead stays hot all day & night. The crisp freshness I awake to after dream time is really refreshing. My youngest daughter mentioned to me this morning on  the drive to school "your ready for fall Mom aren't you", maybe my attire gave it away.

The Full Harvest Moon is upon us and a Full Moon on a Monday is extra special. Enjoy this video from one of my favorite astrologers Dorothy Morgan to get some insight about how the Harvest Moon aspects effect our daily meanderings.

Today I'm using the full moons energy to start new challenges toward my health & fitness goals. Tone It Up  8 week #Frisky Fall challenge started today and hopefully I will stick with this, if you are doing this challenge also let me know. Tonight I will bask in the moons glow, set intentions, and have a fire in which I hope to receive knowledge to take into the season coming upon us. Do you practice Full Moon Magik?

May you walk in love and the light of the Moon bring your deepest desires to fruition.

Summer Body Transformer 30 Day Challenge Update

Kudos to all you out there who are taking the challenge and working on creating a healthy fit body. Unfortunately for me the challenge has come to a halt about a week ago. The muscles I had damaged before are reactivated again with pain. A soccer injury to my knee in high school is also bothering me. I know what is best for me at this point is to listen to by body and it's not so gentle ways of letting me know this is not the right way to achieve what I was working for. Continuing to care for  my body and health is of high importance.  I hope to get back in touch with yogic practices, and this time I aspire to fully immerse myself into the yogic path for I'm waiting for my nirvana enlightenment. To each his own and a blessing to you to achieve what is most nourishing to your temple.

My daughter snapped this shot of my unknowingly. I'm sitting on a cove overlooking the Pacific Ocean at Baker Beach, San Francisco. My thoughts were casting all that no longer serves me into the ocean, and absorbing the natural energies around me to help find  my truth, peace, and purpose. Working with new moon energy & seeking.

Checking In

 So here's a post of miscellany. Just stopping in to say hello to everyone. The past three weeks has been a mixed bag of nuts. I've been suffering from muscle strain in my neck and shoulders from a workout obviously gone wrong. The garden is still a dry un- mowed un- plowed plot of grass. An addition of two extra children for the week has kept me on my toes, I forgot what it was like to have a baby even though my last child is 3 1/2 yrs old. I did get the chance to sneak away to the beach for a Mother's Day weekend getaway, which I hopefully get around to posting before the nostalgia has left me in a fog. Here's hoping everyone has a memorable weekend full of rest and adventures. Signing off to plop down in bed and have magical Full Flower Moon dreams.
