To me, this November’s New Moon feels full of opportunity for change and transformation. This year the New Moon falls on the Celtic New Year, All Saints Day and Día de Muertos or Day of the Dead. All of these holy days speak to the “veil being thin” giving all who choose to venture in, the ability to experience the Other Worlds, and the honoring of ancestors. This is a time to gather wisdom from the old and plant seeds for new ways of Being; new ways of relating to each other, and to our environments.
What will you let go of to make room for more joy, love and laughter? What new skills will you garner, what existing skills will you hone, to be of service to your community, both local and beyond? Let’s support each other in what we choose. Let’s share our dreams and visions for a world that supports life versus death, freedom versus slavery and wear the mantle of responsibility for lives. It may seem frightening to share your true thoughts, but this feels like a time to be Real, without the need to mold your outer ‘you’ to fit someone else’s expectations. Exposing the ‘Inner You’ puts you in a vulnerable place but I’m learning that this is truly a place of beauty and growth.
I’m taking time over these next few days to reconsider everything—including what I offer in this space. All things eventually come to a conclusion allowing other things to sprout and grow. I’m ready to tend my life in a more authentic way. I’m asking myself—am I using and developing the gifts that I’ve been given to the best of my ability? Am I able to let joy and love flow through me and flow out of me, no matter what’s going on around me?
I recently had a conversation with a friend about embracing “the lusciousness of life”. When I reflected on this conversation, I was grateful to have the insight that I’ve put up walls and placed myself in a sort of isolation that has kept me from fully nourishing myself from the sweetness of life. I’ve jumped in; this is not a place for baby steps, this is a time for boldness and living from my heart. This is my wish for you and every living being.
