Compassion is the Remedy
Compassionate action has to start with ourselves.
If we are willing to stand fully in our own shoes and never give up on ourselves,
then we will be able to put ourselves in the shoes of others
and never give up on them.

March is known for swift weather changes, a fullness of madness and mayhem, as the Earth readies itself for the exuberance of Spring. The season of eclipses is also upon us—and shift, change and release loom on the horizon. The March Full Moon, traditionally known as the “Worm Moon,” occurred on Friday March 14, 2025 at 2:55 a.m. EDT. It coincided with a total lunar eclipse, so the moon is also called the Blood Moon because of the reddish hue it takes on during the eclipse. Occurring in the sign of Virgo, this marks the first such event since 2016. continue reading
Embrace an Attitude of Gratitude
“You cannot stay away from yourself forever,
you have to return, have to come to that experiment,
to know whether you really can love.
That is the question—whether you can love yourself,
and that will be the test.”
~~Carl Gustav Jung

Something ancient is stirring. Something that needs attention, something that requires remembering. The siren song of the cosmos is humming in our hearts and pulsing in our veins. The time for waking up has arrived. continue reading
Release to Realign
“To let go is to release the images and emotions, the grudges and fears, the clingings and disappointments of the past that bind our spirit.”
~~ Jack Kornfield
Greetings to all my precious people!!
We are in the post glow of the Full Wolf Moon—the time when the bright illumination of the Sun’s reflection on the moon is already waning, but the night sky is still filled with light. And yet, we feel the stirrings of things we have kept in the dark, hidden away. While the monthly Full Moons signify peak moments of a rising tide, they also offer the opportunity to glimpse into the recesses of our heart, soul and psyche. We can tenderly peek into the sacred nooks where our dreams, fears and lived experiences reside. But especially now, with the placement of Cancer, Mars and the Moon, we might find a bit more congestion and clutter than we imagined. continue reading
Embrace Your Inner Light
“There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.”

The final Full Moon of the year will grace the night sky on Sunday, December 15, and its luminous presence will invite us to pause and reflect. Known as the Full Cold Moon, as well as the Frost Moon or Winter Moon, it gets the name from the Mohawk tribe, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac. This Moon represents just how cold the winter months can get. It is also called the Long Night Moon, since it is close to the Winter Solstice of December 21, which is the day with the fewest hours of daylight. continue reading
Finding the Wisdom of Winter
“To get better at wintering,
we need to address our very notion of time.
We tend to imagine that our lives are linear,
but they are in fact cyclical.”
~~ Katherine May
Greetings to all my precious people!!
December has arrived and there is a flurry of activity as the countdown begins to the end of year holidays. In a society driven by constant consumerism, we are often encouraged to do more, buy more, and push endlessly toward productivity. The rhythms of Nature—marked by cycles of growth, rest, and renewal—are largely forgotten in the rush to maintain momentum. Yet Nature gently reminds us of the importance of pause. continue reading
