How Can Summer Inspire Your Creative Genius?

Tomorrow brings the summer solstice – and with it, the summer season.

It’s a wonderful time to immerse yourself in the creative process.

It’s a season of light and celebration – a magical time to witness a creative garden in full bloom.

It’s a perfect opportunity to call forth a long-held dream, one that you never thought would see the light of day.

As celebrated poet Mary Oliver asks in her poem, The Summer Day – “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

  • What magic is waiting for you in the light of the summer solstice?
  • What dream do you want to bring to fruition in the abundance of summer?
  • What feels important in this stage of your wild and precious life?

Come join me in a special summer version of my Creative Alchemy Studio – where we’ll tap into the gifts of the summer season as we move through the phases of the moon, bringing light to your creative voice and giving birth to a new body of creative work.

Here’s to the creative magic of the summer season!

Happy New Moon Valentine’s Day!

Happy New Moon Valentine’s Day!
 
The timing couldn’t be more perfect, spending it than on the back end of a new moon phase.
 
new moon 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 from within you? What wants to be created outside of you?
 
 
It sounds like a perfect message for Valentine’s Day, don’t you think?

What Are You Bringing into Light?

As we move into the winter solstice and toward the last full moon of 2020, what are you choosing to bring into light?
 
And what do you need to release – in order to make room for this light?
 
 
In the words of mystic poet Rumi, “Let the waters settle and you will see the moon and the stars mirrored in your own being.”
 
As you settle into the winter season and begin to think about what you’d like to manifest, give yourself permission to express the brightest light within you – and allow it to take you where it may.

The Ripple Effect of Gratitude

As we prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday here in the United States – and move toward another full moon phase, I can’t help but think of the impact that gratitude has when we embrace it wholeheartedly.
 
Can you imagine a world where everyone showed gratitude?
 
If someone did something kind for you, you’d probably give them a warm smile and say thank you. And if you were having a bad day, someone else might take time out of his or her life to comfort you, making you feel better.
 
It’s these acts of kindness that prompt people to show their gratitude by doing something similar for someone else.
 
Like a skipping stone in a pond, acts of gratitude have the potential to create a ripple effect.
