While all of the moon's phases are unique and offer us very helpful energy, the New and Full Moon tend to get more attention because they are pivotal turning points within each lunar cycle. With the New Moon being dark it reminds us of the importance of turning inward, gathering our insights, and dreaming of things we want to bring into our reality (read more about the New Moon here). The Full Moon is big and bright, reminding us of the importance to show up fully in the world and be an embodiment of our hopes and dreams. It is a time to shine, and most importantly it casts light on anything that is holding us back or preventing us from doing so.

It's no secret that I'm obsessed with the moon. Moon rituals have helped me connect with my body's cycles and my intuition in a much deeper way while remembering me of just how connected we all are to the vastness of our universe. We are all made of the earth and start dust after all.

The moon (aka Luna) is fascinating and the more I learn, the more fascinated I become. We really can't dismiss the deep connections we have with the moon. This thing affects EVERYTHING, and it's powerful! Luna controls all things fluid and feminine, anything relating to water, which includes the oceans and it's tides, our emotions, and - hello! - our bodies are like 70% water.

"We live between the Act of Awakening and the Act of Surrender..."
In 2012, I began to develop a fear of being in large bodies of water. Odd because I love the ocean and moved from NYC to SoCal to have a "beach life" and absolutely loved growing up so close to the beach in Virginia. I'm also a water Sun Sign and always enjoyed swimming and playing in the water. Funny that many of our developed phobias and fears don't make much sense until you lift the hood and dive below the surface. I find that a lot of my fears are simply metaphors for a far deeper stirring that is going on within...

The pain we are all experiencing is enough to bring the strongest of us to our knees and make the sanest of us feel as if we are losing our minds. I was reminded today reading an article, that our nervous systems aren't equipped to handle these chronic states of shock we are all being traumatized by. From devastating natural disasters to mass shootings and hate crimes, our sense of safety is being shaken with tremendous force...

So many of us get that big burst of energy, motivation, and inspiration from all the initial hype around an initiative.
So why do so many of us "fall off the wagon" or "fail" at our resolution just days or weeks after we hit the ground running?

As long as I can remember, running has been an enormous challenge for me. In school, I always struggled to finish the dreaded four loops around the track. I felt like I was a 500-pound person even though I was a competitive cheerleader and pretty athletic. Even though I’ve been an avid Crossfitter for the past 2.5 years, I still cringe when a workout includes a 400m, 800m or, god forbid, a 1-mile run.
