"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever." -Psalm 23
What a Week! I try to not discuss too much of my personal life, but I will attest to saying that the past 7 days have been FULL:
FULL of LOVE
FULL of FEAR
FULL of LEARNING
FULL of LAUGHS
FULL of SURPRISES
FULL of EMOTIONS
FULL of HAPPINESS
FULL of FEELING
FULL of LIFE
With all that FULL-ness though, there were moments of exhaustion, and moments of confusion; sometimes I just felt ready to bust. I felt like I was going from happiness to depressed within 5 minutes! Clearly I was having control issues and needed to release and let go. I realized that a full moon in the summer time was right before me. The beauty of the full moon is one that is undeniable. The beauty of a waxing (growing) moon is so exciting because it is a time of gathering, of starting new projects, of GOING and GROWING, at the same time sometimes we gather too much during this time and find ourselves overwhelmed right around the full moon.
This full moon is in Capricorn, which may bring out some of the following: Motivation to work hard and be determined, old issues of pain and insecurity, Feelings of wanting to be alone. So how can you work through this? Granted this is only my opinion, but I offer it to all of you with LOVE and Health:
1) Create a list or picture or whatever of things you want to release; perhaps it is bad habits like smoking or eating fast food, perhaps negative thinking, perhaps it is getting to appointments late - write it down, feel it, and RELEASE it. Then put it into a brown paper bag. Once you have put all the things you want to release, maybe a keepsake from a time in your life that is no longer valid, or a list, or whatever you choose (Be Creative!), throw it out and affirm that you have released those energies and are making space for more productive and joyous energies in your life.
2) It can be easy to feel tired or cranky (especially with the heat that we are experiencing in certain locations right now), so how do we move through the tension and crankiness. Something that inspired me today was this website, http://www.astrowisdom.com/thisfullmoon.htm and I decided that I would work through this time with and by showing UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. What a challenge...to forgive those who step on my feet in the subway, and to listen with love and presence to my friends and families, and to offer and give to people with no desire for anything in return and more. If there was ever a time that this energy is necessary, I believe it is now.
You are all in my hearts (unconditionally) and I wish you a Happy Hot July Day that you live with love, joy, abundance and amazing opportunities!!
