The First Full Moon for 2010

The full moon is tonight and it looks like it will be FANTASTIC! I enjoy the full moon and celebrate it by giving thanks to the Goddess, Luna. It is also a perfect time to write down my desires on paper and then burn it (outside away from anything flammable) and send it out to the universe. The full moon is a powerful time of the month and I believe anything asked for during this time has a more powerful energy to it.

I found another inspiring website that you might like to check out http://www.spiritedboutique.com/ and here is a youtube video that might just get you out of your seat and dancing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F47AfASOnA8

Hope your day is juicy! And don't forget to laugh out loud!

I am getting back on track

I have been distracted for the past 4 years. I have been busy with the day to day dolldrums and have neglected my spiritual self. I know I have written about this before but I had alot of time to think and meditate when I was sitting in the LA traffic. Maybe the reason John and I struggled so much in Chico is because we are living in the wrong place and not doing our what the Buddhists call "right work". I mean we were just working jobs in order to pay the bills and eek out a meager living. We were surviving not thriving. Neither of us were doing work we truly loved. John wants to work with animals, training dogs, walking them, care for them when their owners are on holiday. He especially likes caring for the difficult ones. He understands them... he too was considered difficult growing up.

I want to have my own metaphysical shoppe supplying others with the spiritiual tools to help them on their spiritual journey. I have wanted to do that for as long as I can remember. I cannot do that in Chico... spiritual matters are very black and white. Spirituality is considered part of the dark side, the devil and all that goes with that. Religion, namely Conservative Christian belief is ruler here... mixed with guns and fear of the unknown. There is no place for pagan, new age thinking here, at least not in the open.

It was so refreshing to go to Ojai where I was understood... where I could discuss such things with like minded people. I feel that I am getting back on track. I have found some great sites on the internet, namely youtube where I can watch videos and meditate to the chanting. I am coming home... of course this does not mean I have given up my enjoyment of laughter. After all, the secret to enlightenment is to lighten up!
