Being an artist, musician, poet, performer, writer, creator – they all involve taking creative risks. We’re often putting ourselves out there for the world to see – through our words, our art, our music, our creative endeavors.
Some will love our work while others may not. But that’s okay. We’re not here to please everyone. We’re here to serve our creative purpose in the best way we can – through the divine gifts we’ve been given.
And in serving our purpose, we’re often relying on the strength of our vulnerability.
As popular author, storyteller, and researcher Brene Brown says, “Vulnerability is our most accurate measurement of courage.”
It takes a LOT of courage to be vulnerable.

We’re moving into a new moon phase tomorrow – which might stir a strong desire for creative change or a new creative direction. It may even bring an awareness that NOW is the time to seed what might be necessary for a personal or professional transformation.
This particular new moon highlights the Leo qualities of self-expression, creativity, courage, confidence, and authentic visibility – while shining a light on certain life themes involving creative projects, fun and pleasure, children, and the inner child.
As we settle into the last full month of summer, you may feel a slight nudging toward something you might want to start in the fall – something that has a more joyful and playful energy to it.
It’s a good time now, in the playful season of summer, to begin to put the intention out there – to say to the universe, “Yes, I am ready for this change and I am open to approaching it from a more creative and playful direction!“
Where in your life do you desire a creative new start? Where in your life do you need more courage and confidence?
This Leo New Moon challenges you to “Ask for what you want – and be prepared to get it.”

As I watch various events unfolding in our world and witness new discoveries being made across the globe, I’ve been pondering the meaning of
thought leadership – and how one’s
uniqueness impacts the collective on a larger scale.
Whether we’re writing a book, building a business, chairing a board, managing a political campaign, or opening an art gallery – our thoughts, ideas, and beliefs naturally reveal themselves when we’re doing our best work.
As a highly-creative person with fresh ideas and new ways of seeing people, places, and things – have you ever thought about the ripple effect you create through your personal and professional work?
Have you pondered the bigger message – and how it touches people in large and small ways?
Have you wondered about the impact it has, when it travels from one person to the next – and how far it might go?
Have you ever considered yourself a changemaker or a trailblazer?

Imagine picking up the cosmic phone and scheduling an appointment with your creative voice to discuss the next steps that will bring a dream to fruition.
During a new moon phase, the lines are clear – so feel free to ask for what it is you need and desire.
The new moon gives us the courage to step into our true voice with a fresh set of eyes and a desire for new beginnings. It gives us the ability to believe in the power of our own authenticity.
Take a moment to think about your “life story.”
How has it played out – up to this point?
- Where you encouraged to take risks?
- Or were you told to “play it safe” – always making comfortable, practical choices?
- Was your voice heard and received with love and respect – making you feel like your opinions, your thoughts, and your emotions really mattered?
- Or were you silenced – making you feel like you weren’t worthy of having an opinion, a thought, or an emotion?
As Oprah Winfrey once noted, “I was once afraid of people saying, ‘Who does she think she is?’ Now I have the courage to stand and say, ‘This is who I am.’”

One of the most powerful films I’ve ever seen is Freedom Writers. It continues to be one of my favorites.
It shows the power of journal writing – and telling one’s story through a voice that is unique to the storyteller. And through the pages of sharing this story, a larger sense of purpose begins to unveil.
For a taste of what the film is about, visit this link and watch the movie trailer:
Freedom Writers
So much could change in our lives, and in our world, if we just stepped into the power of our life story – learning its lessons, receiving its gifts, and bettering ourselves in the process – then finding our own diamond in the rough, giving it a good polish, and sharing it with others.
We all have a jewel of wisdom that’s meant to be shared with others – in a way that only we can share.
What’s the universal gift in your life story?

As we settle into the first full moon phase of the spring season, here’s a great quote to ponder – “You have to find what sparks a light in you, so that you – in your own way – can illuminate the world.”
In this time of uncertainty and unsettledness, it’s the quieter moments that are needed to reflect within ourselves a light that may be going unnoticed.
Take a moment to close your eyes, breathing fully and deeply, several times in and out. Then invite yourself into these questions. (more…)
