Chrysanthemum Moon ~More Visuals

I am a Night Owl still buzzing off the excitement and energy of our "Money" Moon...I feel recharged, renewed and re focused, thanks to my Goddess Girls. Talk about Powerful.. The talent, insights, drive, and motivation of these ladies is enough to solve all the worlds problems and then some. I spent the week and the day concentrating on how "Wealth" and "Well being' feels...I surrounded myself with thoughts of ease, finanicial freedom and a universe that is infinitely abundant. I pictured sharing my own talents on a new level...of having success, praise and lucrative rewards. I also imagined how I would accept the praise and rewards with Grace and Gratitude. I want Money and Affluence to be a continual cycle, like a wheel that balances itself with giving and receiving...a flow that is never ending. I feel very good about believing that all I need is already here. It is mine by Divine right in a perfect and positive way...and there will always be enough...not only for me, but for all of u. If only we choose to accept it with Grace and Gratitude.

September Full Moon: Abundance

Last night was another delightful evening. Jenna, Betty, Christine, Shannon, Lisa and I relaxed with champagne flutes with chrysanthemum petals in Christine's dining room...for good fortune. We caught up, shared and laughed until we cried. Dinner was an amazing quiche with cheese and spinach. (Soooo good). We did an abundance ritual with oranges, cinnamon, and green candles. Then I was time to write and for the first time in along time I was stuck. I kept seeing the words "FAITH" and "WEALTH". Then the phrase "People don't listen. They never have and they neve will." I didn't know what it meant. Nothing came and I know how powerful our moon parties are that I began to get angry with myself and then sad that I could not find anything to write down. I could not authentically find the words and commit them to paper.

It was time to ask for support...I shared with the goddesses that I was stuck and they came to the rescue and helped me find my way out ... They helped me realize that I was upset because I already asked for what I wanted and I had faith that God had already answered my prayers. All that was left to do was be grateful for what God has done and will continue to do in my life. I gave thanks for my purpose and everything I continue to be blessed with in life. My lifes's purpose is to be of service to others. I dont need to know all the details...I just need to listen and share my gifts with others.

From the point of gratitude I found the freedom and inspiration to write. The words came and then there was a list...a list of inspired actions I need to take to move me in the direction of my dreams. So what there is for me to do is:

- Prepare in advance for all the workshops I lead
- Got body work on a regular basis
- Resume my daily practice of connecting with the Divine through walking in nature, meditation, yoga and prayer.
- Work out regularly: Get a personal trainer, Join a Gym
- Get support with emotional eating
- Create a retirement fund
- Get house insurance
- Pay all bills on time
- Get sleep each night
- End projects that dont produce fruit
- List 6+ things that need to be done each day and do them
- Forgive people: People change...let it go

Lisa shared that her only job is Marketing and Self Care. I liked that so I'm adopting that for myself...My only job is self-care and marketing what I offer that will support others in their full self expression. I am so grateful for friends who will help me through to a place of flow and freedom. I love these moon parties.

THE MEANING & SYMBOLISM OF THE CHRYSANTHEMUM

With a history that dates back to 15th century B.C., chrysanthemum mythology is filled with a multitude of stories and symbolism. Named from the Greek prefix “chrys-“ meaning golden (its original color) and “-anthemion,” meaning flower, years of artful cultivation have produced a full range of colors, from white to purple to red. Daisy-like with a typically yellow center and a decorative pompon, chrysanthemums symbolize optimism and joy. They’re the November birth flower, the 13th wedding anniversary flower and the official flower of the city of Chicago. In Japan, there’s even a “Festival of Happiness” to celebrate this flower each year.

A symbol of the sun, the Japanese consider the orderly unfolding of the chrysanthemum’s petals to represent perfection, and Confucius once suggested they be used as an object of meditation. It’s said that a single petal of this celebrated flower placed at the bottom of a wine glass will encourage a long and healthy life.

Preparing for the September Full Moon

In preparing for the full moon in September I wanted to celebrate and acknowledge the miracles and wonders that have happened since the last full moon.

Since the last full moon

Sharing Testimony and Feeling the Flow
I have been sharing Gods miracles in my life with more people. The result is that my intuition is electric. I can think of Andy and he will text me a second later. I asked God for something to help me manifest my next ideal job...and in the next second someone sent me a video to the new book by Abraham-Hicks called The Vortex. It has totally connected me to doing things I love. I feel connected to the flow of life...bouncing from stone to stone on the path to my next joyfilled moment.

Taught Kundalini Yoga
I also taught yoga in Saratoga for a private group. It is my first time teaching in 2 years. I really got how powerful Kundalini Yoga is and how much of a joy and a privileged it is to teach. I also got that I have cellular memory of the yoga and I was able to jump back in and teach.

Passion is a Point of View
This one is kinda personal...but I have experienced an amazing amount of sensual power in my relationship. Letting all my sensual energy flow and being fully self expressed in that. The result is that I feel desired and a deep sense of peace. I realizes passion in partnership is a pleasure (say that 3 times fast!) and it starts with me attending to whatever I need to feel super sexy and alive.

Lightening the Load
Well I have been working out more...walking with Andy during the week and eating way better. I feel a shift in my body. I feel a pull towards more veggies and water. I also saw that I can amp up my weightloss by asking for help. My most successful times losing where when I had one on one coaching, regular accountability, and the freedom to choose my food. I have been trying to prove something to myself since January by doing it alone...I'm giving that up... I now welcome support in my weight loss journey.

So I go in to this next moon..
- Realizing I want support in my weight loss journey
- I am a passionate person and I can express it
- I testimony of my faith is something I can share with others.

August Full Moon: Evoke The Journey

EVOKE the JOURNEY

When: Friday, August 7th, 2009
When & Where: Julie's House at 7pm


This full moon is dedicated to the power to evoke the journey of our lives.

The Power to Evoke
At every moment there is a choice...we can move along our journey through effort and force OR we can create a way of being that attracts miracles in to our lives. What does it take to evoke miracles? What does it take to be a space of attraction? How do you magnetize yourself for miracles? These are the topics we will be exploring at our August full moon.

Things to think about for this moon:
- What makes you feel attractive?
- When is the last time you experienced a miracle?
- Do you have any rituals you practice before taking on a new project or going on a journey?
- Who or what do you look to for wisdom...when you are embarking on a new adventure?

What to bring:
- Wear something that makes you feel attractive and happy.
- Bring something vibrant and juicy from nature...flowers or fruit ... use your imagination.
- (Optional) This full moon is an open circle moon...so this is a great full moon to bring a guest. This is your chance to begin to evoke your/our journey...it is an opportunity to invite someone who has something special to contribute to the magic of the group.

Goddess Update: Goddess Carole will be a Grammie

I just wanted you all to know that Goddess Carole has not been joining us ... she has been attending to some exciting developments in her life. If you remember back to one of Carole's first few moon parties...she wanted grand children. Well her intentions have come true. She is going to be a "Grammie" this winter. Her son and daughter in law are expecting their first baby in the fall of this year. Its a baby girl and they will name her Abbie.

She's sorry she has had to miss the last few moon parties, but she has been traveling to colorado to help her son and his wife prepare for the new arrival. We are delighted that her dreams have come true and we look forward to Carole joining us again when her schedule allows.

I'll keep you posted of updates from time to time and surely provide photos of baby Abbie when she arrives!

Congratulations Carole!
