Wanting
Friday, October 18th, 2024Wanting—it’s a simple word, but for some of us, it’s more complicated than it seems. For a long time, I’ve struggled with expressing what I want. Growing up, there was this unspoken rule that I wasn’t allowed to want, that asking for things was troublesome. I absorbed the message that I was meant to stay […]
Mattering
Monday, September 16th, 2024The Moon became new on Monday, September 2nd, at 9:56pm. Despite being the end of a relaxing Labor Day, I wasn’t yet in a place to commit to a focus for this month. Now, as we approach a full moon tomorrow night, I think I finally have my theme. In a way, the uncertainty around […]
Freedom
Monday, August 12th, 2024The moon was last new on August 4th at 7:13am. The last cycle’s theme of Experience saw me trying to differentiate between the kinds of Experiences I was living through – trying to make sense of what does and does not work for me is a lifelong effort. Thankfully, I believe I’m starting to realize […]
Experience
Thursday, July 11th, 2024At 6:57pm on July 5th, the Moon was New again. We’re currently in the waxing crescent phase, which signifies growth, intention, and hope. The focus for the last cycle was Resistance, during which I talked about how I “was creating my own Resistance in the path of my attaining peace and happiness” and how I […]
Resistance
Thursday, June 20th, 2024At 8:38am on June 6th the moon was new again, and at 9:08pm on June 21st, she will be full – so this comes halfway into the cycle. Part of the delay has been a real conundrum around what this cycle’s theme really is. There was the focus that I really thought was in place […]
Breakfast
Tuesday, May 7th, 2024At 11:32pm on May 7th, the Moon was New. Yes, I realize that was just a few minutes ago – I am actually on time with this one!! During the last cycle, the focus was on Awakening. At the end of that writing I had said that it was time to “put my feet on […]
Awakening
Monday, April 15th, 2024The New moon coincided with the time of the total solar eclipse: 2:21pm on April 8th. I’m happy to be posting this inside the Waxing Crescent phase. It’s nice to be back on schedule. The focus for the last cycle was Direction; where I wondered if I could ascertain what my true path was – […]
Direction
Monday, March 25th, 2024On March 10th, at 5am the moon was new. It had just been five days earlier that I had posted my last focus of Wonder. This morning at 3am the Moon was new – so at least I am getting a little closer to marking the New Moon on time. In the last post, I […]
Wonder
Tuesday, March 5th, 2024Wow – this one is late. On February 9th at 5:59pm the moon was New. I believe this is the first time I have written one of these during the waning crescent phase. The focus for the last cycle was Understanding – where I had attempted to Understand myself better and apply a similar effort […]
Understanding
Sunday, January 21st, 2024At 6:57am on Thursday, January 11th, the Moon was New. So as I write this, we’re a little more than halfway toward fullness. That actually feels like an allegory for my overall sense of being right now – halfway toward fullness. The focus for the last lunar cycle was one of Realization. In that post, […]
