By The Light of The Moon

In keeping with current events and our recent "Blood Moon" I wanted to write something in relation to the moon and new beginnings and my thoughts and feelings as I looked upon the full moon these past few days.

Night time is magical for me- it seems I awaken!  Could just be that I am not a morning person or the fact that I nap daily- but I feel its more than that. I have always enjoyed star gazing and looking into the moon and realizing that although most feel that the day is done ; at night I am reminded and promised that a new day is on its way. Regardless of the circumstances today- tomorrow is on the horizon.

Everything around us has an effect on something within us. As a woman I know that our bodies are in sync with phases of the moon in the form of our menstrual cycles- which in turn affects our ability to create new life. New life is refreshing! I have never been this excited to move before... but to think of beginning anew has been the focal point of my thoughts this past month and its gonna happen. Out with the old and in with the new.

While thinking on this I realized that everything and everyone has a purpose. Not sure if the moon has a mind, but if it did- would it feel trapped doing the same thing night in and night out? Would it realize it's significance to life? Would it rather be the sun? Would it notice the power it yields over every living thing and what a dark dark place this would be without it? I had to turn and ask myself those same questions in retrospect. Do I not understand who and what I am and what I can be and the changes I can make just by being who God created me to be?

While thinking on the light of the moon- I realize that regardless of circumstances I am the light in somebody's life- although I may not see it or know who they are someone sees me and I inspire them. My mundane life of work, friends, school and attempts at finding my purspose may inspire someone today or in 20 years. I may not be a  celebrity or even accomplished by far in my mindset- but I impact someone and something. The power I possess as a woman is beyond my comprehension and as a Christian I should be able to guide someone through this maze of life and like the moon. I understand that I will have phases in life where I will give off no light where I will need to re-evaulaute life and "disappear" but like the moon I will always come back bright and full after going through my "NEW MOON" and "Waxing/Waning" phases of life.

And Suddenly you know it's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.
