This is my first time creating a Full Moon Dream Board, an activity created from inspiration due to the Jamie Ridler Studios monthly ritual.
Why now?

I was conscious of it, for one.
But for another, I think I was finally ready to join the process this time. It has been a while since I have been ready to dream as well as not dream, to create a document of my process… a visual document I can gaze upon and remember and awaken to for the next four weeks and say, “This is what I am about right now, in my life exactly as it is and in my life how it would be phenomenal to be.”

They are, after all, one and the same.
I am sitting here in my purple room, the room I wanted to make my office-girl’s room-tea room – studio – gallery for how many years, and now, it is here. The computers are networked, something else I have wanted for years.

I look up at my board and I see photos of my friends, together, at the beach. A collection of friends from their pre-teen years through their 50’s, arms around each other and so happy together on a no-agenda Sunday afternoon. I see a friend, writing, at a Camp Day I created. Just texted a few friends with the words, “Want to go on a writing adventure?” and we did, just like that.
I see Samuel, balancing, on a log in flagstaff, foot raised, arms wide – perfectly still and present.

I see abundance, repeated. The symbols for it – because any images I found just didn’t fit right. I see a version of me, doing the receiving dance. A pastel drawing I sketched the other day on a sketch pad I hadn’t used since 1977. The page I drew on was dirty – literally weathered and splotchy and perfect. I don’t know when I have seen a more perfect drawing.
I see watercolor paintings I made. I see art, I see haiku, I see Katherine and Emma.

I see more and yes, and receiving an increase.
I see a lot of love. A lot of contentment. I see smiles, full bodied smiles of celebration and gratitude.
I see the prairie, and travel, and the road – calling for me to leap forward and stay centered. Connection. Community.

It is mercury retrograde and I have been revisiting programs and products I created years ago, before the big 3 of death, cancer and Samuel’s autism diagnosis. I have had people crawling out of the woodwork for reconnection and new connections and all sorts of syncronicity. It has been fantastic.

Yes. I said those two phrases, together – “Mercury retrograde” and “fantastic.”

I am grateful for this process and for each of you who is sharing in it, and for Jamie Ridler Studios, who is host of this process, this event, this creating "happening."
