One of the gifts that the full moon gives us is an overwhelming desire to come alive. Whether that’s bringing a passion front and center or finally making the decision to take a giant leap forward in a new direction that is fully aligned with our creative calling.
Imagine driving through a fast food window and placing an order – only this time the menu lists the one thing that you’ve been contemplating for quite some time.
Perhaps it’s that life-changing book you’ve been working on for eons, but you keep finding yourself facing one creative block after another. Or maybe it’s that passion-filled business that you’ve been wanting to start, but you haven’t yet gotten the courage to just go for it. Or it could be the nonprofit organization you’ve been pondering, the one that’s destined to change the world.
Whatever it is – it’s on the menu right now. And the clerk (who happens to be representing the positive energies of the universe) says, “What can I get for you today?”

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?”

Over the past year, as we’ve navigated through the pandemic, I’ve had many discussions with clients, colleagues, and friends who are at a major crossroad in their life, both personally and professionally, which is resulting in an intense period of reflection. They’re feeling stuck, confused, unmotivated, and unable to connect with what might be ahead of them on their life’s journey.
There’s a feeling of being “a late arrival” to their own life – to a degree that causes them to wonder if they’ve missed an opportunity.
Many are pondering an array of questions, such as:
- How did I get here – in this place of darkness, confusion, and wonder?
- I see nothing ahead of me, so is this it?
- What does this stuckness mean – and how do I sort through it?
- How do I make sense of my life and the journey I’ve traveled?
- What do I do with all the lessons I’ve learned and the gifts I’ve received – and what do I let go of?
- Where do I go from here?
For all of these individuals, the most interesting thing about this crossroad is what has brought them to it. In some way, shape, or form – they’re all facing a major life transition. And it has come to them at a time that many would call “middle age.”
