Wrapping up the Year with Full Moon Dreaming

Here we are – the last full moon of 2020. 🌝
 
What gift does our lunar goddess have for us as we bring closure to a year full of surprises and disappointments, unexpected twists and mysterious turns, revelations that we didn’t see coming?
 
For many centuries, the moon has inspired thousands of beautiful stories, songs, dances, paintings, and poems. Through her many phases, she has served as a muse in a variety of ways.
 
What is it about the moon that stirs our innermost thoughts and inspires our deepest creativity?
 
What is it about her that unleashes the magic of our dreams?
 
The full moon brings a time of high energy and great sensitivity. It’s also a period of extraordinary creativity. Dreams (both day and night) are at their height during this phase – with the potential to activate possibilities that you never thought were possible.

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.

What’s the Universal Gift in Your Life Story?

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.

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.
