FULL MOON IN LIBRA

I have to say, the Pink/ Wind full moon this month carried an underlying message in this troubling time we are all in. The Libra Moon is all about connection. Connection between ourself and other.

We need to remember that while we are 'sheltered in place', we are far from alone. This is the perfect time to go within to define our own needs about relationships. Not necessarily in a romantic form, but how we choose to interact - or not interact - with people when we are on the other side of this pandemic.

One woman commented in chat the other night that she will never shake hands again.
Seriously?

I'm sad she feels that way. 

Sure, things will never be the same. Just like we have not been the same since 9-11, or after the financial crisis of 2008.

Change is inevitable.
What is important is how we accept the change.
Do we 'roll with the punches'? 'Go with the flow'?

Or do we figure out what we really need and require to move forward while not losing sense of SELF?
There is a renewal that comes from change. Let this event in our history be your time of REBIRTH.

Maybe this is the perfect time for you to pursue a new employment course? Formulate a plan for your own buisness. Write that book you've always wanted to write.

We will have to find BALANCE.


As the Llewellyn date book says:
"..this Full Moon highlights how we choose to show up in the world and put our best foot forward."

There is a renewal that comes from change.

Blessed Be

BLESSED SPRING!

A day of RENEWAL seemed like the perfect time to try and get back into here. I've not meant to stay away, I've just not figured out what to journal here. I guess I need to take my own advice and make a list of LABELS and go from there. So that is my plan beginning next week.

For now, I have to get through the Texas Music Awards this weekend. I've spent the past few weeks spotlight artists nominated for various awards. As time consuming as the spotlighting/ promoting is I know my task is nothing compared to my dear friends, Lucky and Jinelle Boyde, who coordinate the actual Awards as well as running the Texas Music Triangle 24/7.  I send them tons of love and thank the Goddess every day for bringing them into my life. Their friendship has kick-started my foray back into the music business... an area of freelance I gave up almost twenty-five years ago to raise my daughter.

Today, when I would like to have been revamping my Altar to welcome spring, I was stuck on finding one particular item I wanted to complete the layout in my mind.

You know how you get an idea in your head and nothing else seems to work? That's where I am.

When my Altar is set up for the Autumn, I have 4 ceramic, maple leaf-shaped candle plates for my votives at the 4 quarters. For Ostara I wanted something similar. I would be content with round, solid-white plates (only about 3" across at the most) but would be tickled to pieces if I could find ones shaped like 5-petal flowers or tulips. Nope, Nada, not to be found.

I know it's silly but I guess it's the OCD in me that won't let my mind open up to anything else. My step-mom would have called me stubborn :-) Boy do I miss her. Grammy (my 'step' Mom) crossed over in early April of 1996. Doesn't seem possible she's been gone so long but I feel her presence every day.

So to welcome Ostara I had the opportunity to interview a Country Music Legend then take a long nap after a very stressful yesterday. Yes, it is a new beginning.

May the God and Goddess Bless you on this turn of the wheel.
Many Blessings!
