Moonlit Musings XV
It’s been two years of full moons since our sweet little one was born, and I’m feeling deeply tender. I’ve also now had a migraine for most of the last 6 weeks, which has made things so hard. I've had to shift my plans for the days so often, meet myself where I’m at, and show up even when I’m not at my best. A friend asked how I get through it and get anything done, and the only response I could think of is that there is no other option; I do what I can with where I’m at that day and make the most of it.
It’s made me think a lot about how I tend to myself while taking care of others. How to keep showing up, even when it’s hard. The practices and rituals that help me feel safe and inspired, the folks that support me, and who I support in return. Being present and soaking in the time with this sweet little one who is growing much too quickly, incorporating rest and play throughout our day, recharging so I can also honour the work that I’m passionate about doing.
I keep coming back to my why. To my intentions and how I want to feel as I move forward, no matter where I’m going. I don’t know what the future will hold, so I’m trying to enjoy the present as best I can, checking in with my body for what feels aligned.
There are so many projects I’m excited for, and while I’m not sure how I’ll get it all done, I’ve learned to trust my very Flopsy process, setting goals (the what + when) with intention (the how), and finding my clear motivation (the why) while leaving space for life unfold. One foot, then the next.
FULL MOON TAROT: TWO OF PENTACLES
There’s a sense of vastness, like anything is possible in the most beautiful, overwhelming way. You’ve made a solid commitment to move forward but are not sure how you’re going to get there or what will happen along the way. It can be scary or exciting, depending on your perspective. Either way, the ship has sailed, and you’re in for a wild ride.
