Blue Moon, Shine Bright

Happy Wednesday. Last night, while I finally put Jake to bed for the second time.
The almost full moon streamed through my window. I sat up looking at
her full of sleep in my eyes. Tonight she will be at Full power. What a moon.
I thought who or what could personify the Leo Full Moon which is not only
a blue moon at a lunar eclipse. Though she is a Sagittarius, Tina for me
embodies all that Leo Moon energy



Rockstar power and passion poured into a beautiful soul. Tina not only survived
but thrived to become the legend she still is. With those sultry red lips and
leo like dark blonde mane, she embraces her power with full bodied reverly.



So what do you need to truly embrace about yourself?
Where is your own personal power and are you ready to use it wisely?
Just three soulful questions for this Full Moon. As always, do
celebrate in what way feels good to you.

Happy Full Moon, my friends.

February.

Birthday realness and magic

Since I was a girl, I have always believed in myself. In my dreams.



Today is my birthday. The past two weeks for me has been challenging. Being bombared on all fronts: personal, family and professional. Still there is a guiding light inside of me. That eternal part of me that says we have to keep going. There are still more dreams to create and womanifest.



The Dreams of a girl are still true dreams. On my birthday today, I like to share a part of my birthday magic with you. Whatever you are struggling with, know there are better days ahead. That like I said earlier to myself. Your destiny is bigger than your doubts. I'm going to pull a card to see what message is for all of us today.



Today and everyday,listen to your intuition. It has
been a friend to me since I was little. If you need
more information on using your intuition go here and my website.

Dream Thought #96 : Just Breathe

"Breathe. Just Breathe. Reach out with your feelings. What do you see?"
Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) from The Last Jedi.

All about Luke

If you haven't see The Last Jedi stop reading.
This is a spoiler alert. If you don't give a
flying fig about Star Wars and Luke Skywalker then you can
stop reading this too. My mom took me to see
Return of The Jedi back in 83'. She fell asleep through the whole movie.
She woke up after the credits going did you enjoy the movie, Shell?
Yes, I did Mom. I totally get Star Wars isn't everyone's cup of tea.


The Last time we saw Luke in The Return
of The Jedi. He saved his father and the galaxy.
Yes! He is a Jedi finally.

via GIPHY

30 + plus years later, Luke
is now in full hermit mode. He has turned his
back on everything he loved and believed in.
WTF?!! Yeah. Mark Hamill wasn't initially
feeling where they had Luke go. Though he now
said he regrets airing his public thoughts. That he
hope people enjoy the movie. Mark says what Luke
goes through makes it more thrilling.


The Last Jedi takes everything you seen in
Star Wars and turns it on its head. I had no
idea where the movie was going. I appreciated
that. Risks were taken. Some of it paid off
and others didn't. If Star Wars is going to
continue, it has to be shaken up.
After seeing it a second time, it is still
hard for me to watch Luke go through all the pain
and regret he carries. This is not the Luke I knew
from before. To me, Luke is still a hero. He shows
that more poignantly when an old friend comes to give him
council. In life, things happen that can cause us to give
up. To lose faith in ourselves.

via GIPHY

At the end, Luke shows that he is still a Jedi.
That even in the face of his own regret and grief
,he is able to rise above it be the Luke Skywalker of
legend. Luke makes the ultimate sacrifice.
He gives his life to save Leia, Rey, The Resistance and
bring hope back to the galaxy. He transforms into The Force.
I cried both times I saw the movie. It was like
losing an old friend. Mark Hamill was wonderful
as the older and grief stricken Luke. There is a
push for him to be nominated for an Oscar. I love
that to happen for him.



I'll always love Luke Skywalker. He is my dear old
friend. I have learned much from him then and now.

May The Force Be With You Always....

Intuitive Self Defense

Intuition is your friend. There is no greater friend when trying to live in this world.With the recent spate of women and men coming forward about sexual harassment and assault. I felt guided to talk about how your intuition can help you. When I was little, my mom told me to trust my instincts about people, places and things. She instilled that in me early. It is now something I am working on with Jake. Energy rarely lies. Sometimes we talk ourselves out of things, ideas and feelings because that is how most people our trained.Think of this as Intuitive self defense. These tips can be used by anyone.


(Me tuning into The Force.)


If you are ever in situation where you feel
overwhelmed or afraid, you can call on your personal deity, guardian angel oryour favorite animal that makes you feel safe. I like to call on Wolf.
I visualize two large Wolves walking on either side of me. What that happens my energyshifts. I vibrate a stronger and secure energy.


If you feel you like someone is watching you, don't ignore this feeling. Stop. Look around. See if you can feel where the disturbing energy is coming from. If you find the person, make eye contact. I know this may make some of you nervous.Please do what makes you feel safe. I look them in the eye.I call it my don't mess with me stare. Unblinking. You look at them like Yes, I see you. I am not your prey. Keep moving. I live in NYC. I have done it on the subway,on the bus. It has worked for me.
If someone says something to you that makes you feel uncomfortable, don't discount it! Uncomfortableness can be felt in your body: sweaty hands, sudden heat, an invisible punch in the stomach, a cold feeling spreading through your body. Your body through your
intuition is telling you this isn't right. Either say something to put then in their place or leave
immediately from the person's presence. Don't worry about being nice.I make a habit of telling my close friends or my mom, if I don't get a good feeling about someone. I want them to know. Don't keep those feelings to yourself.



If you have been sexually assaulted, my friend.I am truly sorry. I can't say that enough. Predators are repeat offenders. If they assaulted you, it a high chance they do this this other people. Sexual predators can be men or female. Let me clear about that.Don't let those secrets eat away inside of you. Tell someone close to you ,that is compassionate, about what happened, get therapy and get legal justice. If you can't get legal justice. I believe in Divine Justice. No one gets away with doing evil to people.Eventually, people have to pay for their
crimes. This is your journey. Take back your power. You are not a victim! You are a beloved child of the universe.You are stronger than your imagine. You are made up of the same energy of the sun, the stars, the moon. There is power in you whether you are 5 foot or six foot.

Let your Intuition guide you when you are out in the world. For me, it has been a trusted guide.

Word of the Year: Bliss

Happy Thursday, my friends. For the past four years, I have picked a word for the
year.I let the word come to me. When it does, it just feels right. If you look at
my blogon the side, you will see the previous words I had.

Last year, it was Romance. I meant Romance in the sense of living a life full of
romance. You can read that here
The word took me on a wonderful journey with beautiful results. Truly, whatever
word you pick will take a life on its own.

The word Bliss picked me. I kept hearing and seeing the word Bliss everywhere.
Like I always do, I asked for divine confirmation. Yes, Bliss is the word.



Bliss means complete happiness. Now, that sounds like a delicious word to me.
What does that truly mean? How will that manifest for me? I have to be honest
withyou, my friends. My life hasn't been anything but blissful for me. All
kinds of challenges have popped up in all areas of my life.

What I do is use Bliss as lead for me. How can I be feel Bliss in this moment?
I let the answer come to me, try to do that to deal with whatever challenges that
are being presented to me. What I feel is that that things, thoughts and energy
needs to shift for me. So Bliss can truly manifest in my life.

Just like my previous words, I am open and receptive to see how it comes alive
in my life.

I have to leave this small video of Joseph Campbell who coined the term
"Follow your Bliss". Not coincidentally,Campbell wrote the book "The
Hero with a thousand faces" that George Lucas read. Lucas ,who is the
creator of Star Wars,said the book heavily influenced in the writing
and making of the films. Yes, everything is truly connected.

Dream Thought #95 : Throw your own party

"If your not invited to the party, throw your own." - Diahann Carroll

Happy New Year

Happy New Year, my friends. Have a drink
with me. Toast to 2018. May all the best
and brightest come to you this year. May
you be open to receiving all the good that
has your name on it.

I like to think of 2018 as this beautiful
baby girl. Happy to be here and open to
joy.


Did you know it's also a Full Moon tonight
in the sign of Cancer. Use the emotional
watery energy of the Full Moon to fuel your
goals for 2018. Today is also my father's
birthday. He has been gone since 2002. I am
spending part of the day to think about him
and continue healing our relationship.
That kind of inner work is perfect for this
full moon. What you are called to do today
might be more light hearted than mine.
That is fine too.



Have you picked your word for the year? I have.
I will be sharing that in another post. Don't
forget that there will be another full moon
on January 31st. Two full moons in January.
My birth month is truly extra magical this year.
