Happy New Moon day! At least, in my part of the world 🙂 February's full moon is called the Quickening Moon in some Celtic traditions, and it is one of my favorites. Things are happening. Energy is gathering. Momentum is building. Beneath the frozen earth, things are pushing, pushing, pushing toward the surface. We may … Continue reading Goals for the Quickening Moon
Looking back on my post for the new moon this month, I actually made a lot more progress than I realized! My planners for 2019 are set up (I actually have three of them), and though I haven't mapped out exactly when I'll be working on each writing project, I'm ready to roll with the … Continue reading Cold Moon Goals Progress
The new moon this month has come and gone, and I've been busily working toward many goals. One of them, ironically, was to start blogging on each new moon about my focus for that month. Oops! Better late than never 🙂 Many cultures believe that each full moon carries with it an energy. As the … Continue reading Cold Moon Goals
2018 is blessed with an abundance of full moons, giving me even more opportunities to set intentions. I like linking these intentions to the lunar phases. It helps remind me of the larger world and universe out there beyond the society of humankind—a tangible world, filled with its own magic. January is a big month … Continue reading Another Chance to Set Intentions

I'm setting an intention at each new moon, starting today! The new moon today will wax into the Cold Moon on January 1 (what an … Continue reading The Cold Moon
What I'm happy about this week: taking a moment to reflect. There's been so much going on—in my life, in the world. I'm taking a bit of time this week to look forward and look back, take a breath, and then set out on my path again, maybe with a few tweaks in the direction. … Continue reading Focusing on Happiness—Week Twenty-Five
This year's Quickening Moon finds me in a very different frame of mind from last year. There's no fog, and I seem to have dealt with my winter colds in January (I hope!). Still, I don't have the extreme focus that I've had for the last year and a half with my writing—and it's a … Continue reading The Quickening Moon — 2017
What I'm happy about this week: foggy days. One of my favorite things is waking up to a foggy day. Whenever possible, I run to my favorite park to enjoy them. Over the weekend, we happened to be out and about in the middle of the day and found ourselves surrounded by this gorgeous scenery. … Continue reading Focusing on Happiness—Week Seventeen
I like to use the cycles of the moon and sun to remind me of the bigger world that surrounds us—the earth beneath our feet, the air we travel through and that travels through us, the flaming ball of energy that supports life on our planet. It's a fun way to reflect on the world, … Continue reading The Cold Moon—2017
What I'm happy about this week: getting back to my routine. This is the perfect counterbalance for last week's post about vacation. As much as I enjoyed myself last week and filled my time with happy pursuits, I've built a life that makes me happy to live it every day. Getting back to my routine … Continue reading Focusing on Happiness—Week Fourteen
