Happy full moon everyone! Ive read a few astrology blogs that herald this particular full moon as an excellent time to eliminate negative influences in our lives and replace them with more positive, self affirming habits and intentions. Regardless of whether astrology is something you believe in I like the sentiment and am choosing to reevaluate some areas in my life that could use tweaking. Ive been thinking about this a lot recently as I am mentally preparing for winter. I realize its a few months away (in the northern hemisphere) but in recent years Ive become more aware of the effect of seasons on my mood and general well being. The last couple of winters have been pretty rough on me and I can easily spiral into apathy and depression. One of my goals is to engage myself more in my community, Im looking at affordable or free classes and activities that will get me out of the house and interacting with new people. Another part of my plan, which can be accomplished with the first part, is to nurture my creativity. Im looking at developing and refining some skills like writing and art, maybe taking a drawing class Im fortunate that my parents, both educators, have instilled in me a Love of Learning and an endless curiosity. Unfortunately Im not always great on commitment or follow through and thats where the hard work comes in! Thats why I enjoy opportunities that prompt me to re-evaluate where I am and where I want to be, and more than just once a year on New Years. I think its vital to our continued growth and to our place within our community to take a personal inventory now and then, and to take action where needed. Occasions like the changing of seasons, birthdays and, yes, phases of the moon can provide timelines for reassessment and setting goals or intentions. I am often in need of reminders, so this is a good tool for me to be aware of my health and well being, physical, mental and spiritual. Happy Full Moon and may your seasons bring growth, healing and awareness! xo Jenny
