New Moon

Tomorrow is the new moon and I am subscribed to this blog called "The New Moon Journal". The woman is a healer and creates soul collage cards for each new moon. The energy surrounding these moon events always seems to line up perfectly with where I am in my life.
So anyhow, the capricorn new moon is all about finding the grounding place with earthy energy. (thats the very condensed explanation) She suggested making strong intentions today (24 hours before the new moon) and then creating a ritual around releasing them 24 hours after the full moon..Saturday. I have only done this once and it worked magically. So I've decided I'm going to sit down today and create a writing of some really strong intententions that I have and then Saturday I'll light a big fire in the fire place and release them.
I absolutely will be looking for balance between work and play. You know when you have a thought and you just keep pushing that very knowing thought into a back corner of your mind? Yet from within you know that this thought is not just blabber in your head. Its a voice that is reminding you that you are not honoring a part of who you are. Thats whats happening with my art. I just keep shoving that voice into a dark recess of my mind to shut it up until I have more "time". Time isn't really the issue. No space and no balance are the issues.
What on earth possessed me to put everything I have into a closet in the attic? Gawd the thought of dragging it all out again is monumental to me. Yet from within my voice is saying I MUST. And then I answer "Get back in the corner. I have real work to do"
Everything inside of me says that I know where this is headed if I don't get my supplies out and do something with them.
So today I think I will get some of my "real" work done and then drag the stuff out to the dining room and create something. Anything really...as long as I it involves paint and glue and a huge mess. That should satisfy the beast within who is lurking in the corner of my mind lol....ready to pounce and reduce me to a melted down puddle of hysterics.
I don't like hysterics and I don't like huge messes. However, I don't like hysterics even more so the mess wins.

So thats all from here. I hope you all have a beautiful co-creating day!!!!
