There’s a big event coming tomorrow (or tonight depending on where you are in the world). The blue moon, supermoon, and total lunar eclipse are all rolled into one.
You’ve probably already begun to feel its effects. I’ve been sleeping more, trying to hydrate, and resting in the awareness that’s coming to light. I’m also being patient as the meaning unfolds before me. It might feel heavy for you right now, but the spiritual meaning behind the full moon eclipse is a little lighter than that, and that’s why I’m here.
First, to feed your soul with the poem below, and second, to invite you to gather with me this weekend.
The full moon has always been known as a time of ripening and harvesting, but when you add an eclipse to that… wow!
The veil between us and our subconscious is thin during this time, so you might have both your longings and fears coming to the surface all at once.
Carrot vs Stick
Nurture yourself with kindness and self-compassion; this is the only way to coax your soul into a deeper unfolding.
Drop the stick and unhook yourself from excessive expectations and harsh self-judgments.
This eclipse is about reaching for the moon. As the full moon rises tonight, remember that there are footprints on it. Set your bar high. Moving forward on your path requires imagination. You can set your aspirations beyond your current capabilities; that’s exactly how we got footprints on the moon.
This Saturday we’ll create a carrot, and link your actions to your values.
In this workshop I’ll show you how to stick with your gut feeling as you pave your own path forward over the long haul. If you’re doubting yourself, good. That’s part of the deal, and it’s a hint that you’re onto something.
Susan Miller describes a full moon lunar eclipse as follows: “With all eclipses, something ends and something else begins.” The only way through is to go forward, and the eclipse is here to remind us of that. You can’t change your past choices, but you can design your future. Give yourself an “A” and let’s get on with it!
Whether you’re joining me this weekend or not, please keep your journals handy. Notice what life is bringing you. Light a candle; take a nap; take a deep breath, and ease yourself into a new beginning. Whether you write it down, bury or burn it, this will you remember.
Make it a prayer that you recite daily or a song that you sing, maybe even create some art or choregraphe a dance. Move the intention from your heart through your hands in some way. That’s how you honor and witness it.
I’m excited to be with you to celebrate your commitment in just a few days.
I’m also being intentional about the timing. New Year energy screams anxiety to me. This energy is different. There’s a wave of creation coming in.
Set your intention, and let it carry you forward. This is the difference between hustling hard and following your heart.

It’s time to spread your wings.

Walk Slowly
It only takes a reminder to breathe,
a moment to be still, and just like that,
something in me settles, softens, makes
space for imperfection. The harsh voice
of judgment drops to a whisper and I
remember again that life isn’t a relay
race; that we will all cross the finish
line; that waking up to life is what we
were born for. As many times as I
forget, catch myself charging forward
without even knowing where I’m going,
that many times I can make the choice
to stop, to breathe, and be, and walk
slowly into the mystery.
