Today is the Waxing Quarter Moon, the midpoint between the New Moon and the Full Moon.

This is a great time to do a quick win to help you start writing!

When it comes to blogging, one thing that can hold us back is the amount of time, energy, or work we think it will require.

Green leaves budding on trees, while gray clouds hover overhead.

The feeling that we should be thawing out from winter - the...

The Beaver looks forward to the spring thaw. She lives in her lodge for the winter with her colony, only emerging in dire times for food.

She's cooped up in winter, and when the spring comes she is ready to emerge. She wants to swim, to work, to master the creation of her dam, to eat, and to nourish herself.

For Beaver, the movement from winter into spring is one of stretching open after living in tight quarters.

How could you stretch open this spring? What work could you pick up...

The days are longer, and the crocuses are blooming here in the Pacific Northwest. Spring is coming soon, like really soon. The spring equinox is this Saturday, March 20. It arrives on the waxing quarter moon, as the moon turns towards full, gaining energy and wholeness.

I would love to wax poetic with you about spring. To talk about the baby ducks, the adorable wildflowers, and going outside on warmer days. These things are all ridiculously glorious to me. I LOVE the...

I picked an animal card for us today, and we got Nightingale!

 "This card indicates a need to open the bridge between the heart and the voice."

Today is the New Moon. This is the time when the moon is smallest in the sky. It provides us with the darkest nights and the best view of the stars. It is also the beginning of a new moon cycle.
