Challenges have always held a certain appeal for me. I like to choose them. Which ones and when. Ra Avis over at her poetess’ home blog: https://rarasaur.com sent a message to the Cheer Peppers on Facebook for a Poem a Day challenge through the month of April.
I’m going for it. Yesterday was my teaser day. My attempt. It was partially written, and then completely lost. I know that when I gently invite myself into the challenges of my choosing, especially alongside of others (because I can and have ‘gone it alone’ for probably an eternity.). It’s always better with friends!
💗🙏🏼
So fire up your poetry-makers! Open up the hatches. Get that kite out and read for the wind
It’s another day and another set of circumstances for all of us. Pre-Mercury retrograde shadow begins in just a few days and emotions are getting stirred up. The eclipses are coming up with lunar and then the solar eclipse on April 8. I know many people who are traveling for eclipse viewing.
The one back in May 2012, we saw it at Canyon De Chelly. I felt it so viscerally and watched the birds react. Seeing this solar eclipse in such an expansive setting, as I was migrating across the United States to my new home in California, was riveting.
I’m comfortable staying at home nowadays. I have seen/experienced enough excitement for a good while.
All of my senses are calling me inward even as Spring is Springing. I believe I am still wanting to rest in the middle of the seasons. I’m allowing the rest to fill me up and meanwhile, emotionally, I am hosing myself down and clearing out. Clearing is a rich practice.
I inadvertently did some Spring cleaning. I can’t wait to do more, but not after some more decent rest.
This Chameleon card I picked for today is just perfect as I focus deeper into my meditation and pivot where pivoting is needed. I’m using the “Irish jig” as my inspiration for the movements I will be doing in the coming month—keeping it light, keeping it bag-pipey and spirited!
That Pisces New Moon had me so deeply appreciative of my own awakening and inner resources. I was fully in my own circle of love. It was a real treat to behold. I’ve never quite experienced it in that way before, so I know I am deepening into new levels of “sinking in.”
What a gift it is to breathe, walk, talk, and take everything in with our senses. May you find your inner golden treasures past the leprechaun’s reach, and sometimes Because of the leprechaun. 🍀 Follow your rainbow 🌈 into what is unique just for you. Spend time making shapes of the clouds and telling a story about them. Fill your heart up with hope in all those dark spaces of raw wounds. Know that you are not alone. You are never alone! Snuggle in & fasten your seatbelt. The scenery grows richer as we traverse through Space on our gorgeous globe of Earth.
The above is my photo, from the first captured image of my journey with energy and life from a low stance. It’s unclear which MA I am practicing here, but it might even be karate inspired. I adored the Karate Kid but it wasn’t until I was in my late twenties until I got started. I wanted to start earlier so badly, though. If you have any Mars/Moon connections in your natal chart. Martial arts is an EXCELLENT channel.
Today is a big day. My daughter is taking her first MMA class, and it’s gonna be a trial. We are gonna see if she loves it. I feel like this is one of those “peak” moments in life. For some people it’s a belt. For me, it’s the evolution of my family tree. 🌳 It’s the development of connections and the skill sets for survival, discipline and dedication to a higher cause/purpose. For me it’s the passion of devotion, and finding ancient traditions for me wasn’t something that was “directly” handed down. I did practice yoga with my mother as a child. These were critical moments that seeded in me the desire to intermittently practice yoga informally for the rest of my life. I almost now have a daily practice without even considering it “formally, I do yoga, daily.”
Blessings and gratitude for all my teachers. 🙌🏻🌻 🙏🏼💗🥋☀️🙌🏻
May all beings be free
All this past week, and probably longer, I’ve had tech tech tech non-stop snags and delays, broken products, broken dishwasher, the list is so extensive, I really don’t feel like writing about it. Could it be transiting Mercury Conjunct Neptune in my 1st house?! Very likely! This is helping me in some unseen way tap into talents and skills in tech that I haven’t even wanted to explore. 😂 so here we are, making the best of it!
