Excitement, fear and peace….all in one
Watch this video clip and decide for yourself.
Baumgartner’s space jump
How exhilarating and humbling!
This is how I view that life should be.
The perfect job, relationship, hobby, event et al could be the exact combination needed of all.
Just think what being with a partner that gave you the comfort of your favourite sweater but still after years ‘made your tail wag’. Dog lovers will get this one.
Wouldn’t it be lovely to go to work each day with that combination of belonging yet a touch of that little kid magic of what the day will bring?
I see kayaking in this light.
I love the peace and connectedness of floating on a river (gives me the combination of both water and forest) coupled with the charge of turbulent water or waves/wind that I receive due to my inability to swim and fear of water.
I love being on or near the water but cannot put my face in. Which leads me to fear…..
We all have our fears. Although many might say they are irrational but to our minds, emotions and physiology they are very real. Why let fear stand in the way of doing something memory making?
Is overcoming fear possible?
I have overcome or at least side stepped some of my fears because I was born with insatiable curiosity. Wanting to know what something feels like or looks/sounds like overpowers my little voice telling me to not do it.
I have never regretted stepping beyond my fears and experiencing life – and oh what a great world we live in when we embrace it and explore.
But do keep in mind, that sometimes fear is a warning sign of danger or boundaries being overstepped. More on this later.
Be safe! Be fulfilled! Be challenged!
Now get out there and just do it.

Use the power of this Wolf Full Moon. This is very much a moon of emotions. Release what doesn’t serve you.
Use the Full Moon power for closure. Make a tally or run through the past year or so to find whatever has not been dealt with. Use this time to complete tasks, assess emotions (and haven’t there been a few these past couple of years?), close out that which is non-beneficial and get ready to move forward.
This is a time to go inwards. Retrospection can give you the clarity you need.
Once the purging is complete then move into planning mode. Don’t be active in your life yet – quietly and thoughtfully map out where & how you want your life to be for 2022 and onward. Do a loose plan/guideline/goal-setting always leaving space for fluidity and change.
Here is a Full Moon Ritual I love and find quite powerful.
You will need a Full Moon and coins (I used dimes – why I don’t know just do)
You need to be out in the open preferably on or your balcony or patio.
“There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.”
George Carlin
Start by grounding yourself using whatever method works best for you.
Take your coin and let it absorb the moons energy by placing in a window or if you are outside already you can put it anywhere. Leave it here for about ½ hour.
Ask the coin to connect to the moon.
After ½ hour, hold the coin between your palms and declare what you want to release and what new you want to bring in. Imagine (visualize) your desired outcome.
Throw the coin towards the moon and say:
“All my concerns and wishes
I release to you, Grandmother Moon
Fill them with love and give them light
For the highest good of everyone involved”.
Don’t try to look where you coin fell or landed. Just let it be.
Thank Grandmother moon and absorb her energy.
When I did this the first time, I cut the grass the next day. I was being greedy so did 3 different things and used 1 dime for each.
When I cut the poor excuse of grass they were all gone! My grass that was left after the summer drought was so thin and sparse that there is no way they could be hiding.
Where did they go? How cool is this?

Can you find the silver lining?
Although………things are not always the way they seem. Perhaps the initial event looks to be unwelcome. But think back to something that happened in your life (or another person’s life) that started out looking catastrophic.
Things like losing a job, a close relationship ending, household problems. Later you see that it was a blessing to get out of a soul killing job and now are doing something you love!
Or perhaps a year (hopefully less) after a break up you see how toxic that person really was for you? Or even if not toxic, just ‘flat line’ – and now you’ve been able to meet a vibrant loving new mate. Or learned to enjoy ‘just being you’.
Perhaps the extra expense of having to fix a household issue helps you discover an unseen additional problem, when fixed now is not major – but could have grown to be. Or maybe even you’ll make a connection with someone connected with the repair.
AND WHAT ABOUT COVID 19?
This seems to have brought us perhaps all of the above. But is it all catastrophic?
Water, air & soil is repairing itself. The animals are roaming freely to our enjoyment. New connections are made as within communities or globally we set aside our differences and lend a hand.
I know some times ( or lots of times) it’s not easy to see the ‘silver lining’ or to accept that everything really is o.k. I don’t know to whom I can credit this saying – but I love it!

Do you cringe when the Hallmark Moment holidays approach?
Will you be alone and not looking forward to it?
Want to change that? You can if you really want to.
Pity Party
I won’t be seeing my son and his lovely partner until after Christmas. My electronic day timer note popped up to decorate. Snorting…I deleted that wondering what would be the point. No one would see them except me. (note to self for future reference: I’m worth doing it for – but that’s another blog) Bah Humbug!
This is the first Christmas since my Mom passed as well.
Today I thought about my stuffed Grinch and I put it on the staircase…which led to thinking about a few treasures I’ve kept from childhood – are you ready for this? Causing a Smile.
So I said to myself “Self, just get a few of your favourites out – you don’t have to do it all”. I dug out the decorations from the basement to find my fav’s. And then couldn’t resist bringing them all upstairs.
Most of my decorations are beautifully handcrafted by friends, my Mom and picked up in travels. Several of my friends are no longer. The day went from smiles from memories of years gone by to tears of missing them.
Several times I stopped decorating as I just didn’t have it in me. But I kept coaxing myself back.
“Christmas will always be as long as we stand heart to heart and hand in hand.”
–Dr. Seuss
Idea sparks
Then I wondered who else wouldn’t be seeing family? I decided to scope it out and invite them here for dinner.
No sooner did I get that thought solidified and things started to change. I discovered that there were several hikes going on in the area over the holidays and an out of town friend I haven’t seen for far too long emailed me to invite me for dinner. And there is a great house concert planned for one of the evenings.
The outcome?
When you feel grumpy or un-motivated just take one little step forward. If that’s all you accomplish that’s still great. But hopefully like in this case it will be the first step to changing the situation. Guess what? I ended up putting all the decorations up and it feels good!
The Bonus? I’ve discovered (or they discovered me) several amazingly fun events to attend – seeing old hiking pals and perhaps meeting some new. AND I then get to celebrate again when my son arrives!
Will it be easy? Nope – but it definitely will BE.
Your choice – pity party or Grande Party. Scrooge like feelings or Gratitude? I know which I prefer.
Change your Thinking – Change your Mood – Change your Life!

Mercury while in retrograde is said to rule in miscommunication, misinformation, misunderstanding and perhaps a host of other mis’ near and otherwise.
It is a time where it is said that contracts should not be signed, major decision not made. More of a time for reflection, fine tuning ideas, working out details before launching.
Retrograde fever
I’ve often joked about the retrograde but this time……it’s got me. It seems that every time I say anything in person or print, write a post or comment on someones, try to do anything techie it backfires and I end up trying to explain what I really meant. Even in retrospect I cannot for the life of me see how things became so misconstrued. Hey! See the pattern here – yet another mis. Misfiring everything.
“Adulthood didn’t make sense until I learned about Mercury in retrograde”
What a great time to have launched a new online program. As we speak – ok it’s me doing the speaking – I cannot access the dashboard of one of my websites. I haven’t changed anything, haven’t messed with the inner workings – nada. Just decided to not give me access.
It’s ok though – it’s only the website I run my online courses through. Argh!
I think I’m going into hibernation until this passes. All has just been too bizarre.
What has gone awry in your world? Please share – they say misery loves company – and I could use a little commiserating at the moment.
Just be careful what you say – I may misconstrue! And hang on ……it will be over by Dec. 23. Anyone want to run away until then? Oh yes, forgot – travel is not advised during a retrograde.
All shenanigans aside……this is the perfect time to go inward, purge, reflect, cleanse and only then start to form loose plans for your future. No active actions steps yet – just plotting and scheming.
