Moon & Me

“Are you getting up to see the eclipse?”
“Ngh.”
“It’s just that if you want to see it you’ll need to get up now.”
“Uhuh.”

It was still dark outside, and I could feel the chill air pressing against the thick down of my cosy duvet. My husband, who knew how important it was to me to see this morning’s eclipse, was trying to gently wake me, but I was having trouble getting my eyes to open.

My sleep-heavy limbs seemed unwilling to move. They didn’t seem so interested in going outside. With what felt like a tremendous effort, I swung my legs out of the bed, fighting the desire to slink back beneath the covers.

Fifteen minutes later, I am standing outside, the snow clinging to my walking boots, and my hands shoved firmly into my coat pockets. I am wide awake now – wide awake, shivering, but absolutely transfixed by the moon, which is just so beautiful. It’s dressed in a veil of red – a full red moon. I breathe in the moment, the cold air hitting the back of my throat and chilling my nose.

I return back indoors, flicking the switch on the kettle before turning on my laptop. As I sit down at the kitchen table, my tea warming my fingers, I have butterflies in my tummy. Because you see today I sent out my first newsletter. I treat all my newsletter’s subscribers with the utmost respect, and I really wanted to make sure I got the newsletter just right.

It was also important because I was sharing something that is so close to my heart: Bloom by Moon. This is my new flexible online course which is designed to help people craft their own personal relationship to the sacred feminine (I get butterflies in my tummy every time I think about it – I do so hope you’ll join me there!).

I spend the following few hours sharing Bloom by Moon, before switching off and treating myself to Jamie Ridler’s Soul Reflections Workshop. I collage and journal to my heart’s content. There’s something so special about taking some time out to reflect on what the soul wishes to say. Particularly on a day like this.

And now darkness has fallen again. Its inky blackness filters in surreptitiously, until tiny points of light sketch out constellations millions of miles away. Dominating the sky is the milky full moon, its brightness almost blindingly beautiful.

Once again, I breathe in the moment… and feel full.

You can now purchase all 48 lunar interpretations plus journal prompts, plus introductions to each cycle. Bloom By Moon is available at a really low price so that this work can be as accessible to as many as possible – listen to the introduction and purchase here: BLOOM BY MOON.
