Wouldn’t you know it? The neighbor who usually shares the ominous task of shoveling our common driveway was in Hawaii for this week’s ginormous snow dump. Besides the fact that I successfully turned my intense feelings of jealousy to ” Hey! I want to be in Hawaii in February!” I had to tackle the shoveling of not only the longest driveway in the world but also keep the sidewalks cleared of snow and ice for the many dogs and their people who use my sidewalk as a favorite walk. So here’s the crazy part of all of this: after owning this lovely oasis for over 20 years this is the very first year I actually figured out how to properly shovel, from using the right movements to knowing when to put the salt out (pet-safe, of course) to enjoying the pleasure of being in the body while connecting deeply with the snow faeries. I mean, really, snow is lovely – so beautiful, so soft, so quiet. Which is all to say that it’s never ever too late to learn to do something better, even if you’ve been doing it not so great for who knows how long and no matter what task you are doing, being happily in the moment of doing it, makes the whole experience a joy.

The other totally crazy thing is that it was 75 degrees on Sunday which allowed me to create some extremely cool videos for The Flower Channel, incorporating oodles of grapevine harvested from my neighbor’s ancient cherry tree which took its final fall in the last wind storm. There are two totally cool new videos up on my channel so if you want to get some promises of Spring as whispered through the vibrant blossoms of daffodils and tulips, while cavorting with their amethyst crystal friends – check out me and Arthur out at The Flower Channel on Youttube.

The Full Moon at 20 degrees Leo falls on Sunday, February 9, 12:33am Mountain time. The Sun is at 20 degrees Aquarius, as the Sun is always exactly opposite the Moon when the Moon is Full. Leo is creative self-expression and the MUSE is calling very strongly at this Full Moon. It always makes me cry when I ask someone what they do to be creative in their lives and they say, “I am not a creative person.” Heartbreaking! EVERY PERSON IS CREATIVE. We are CREATORS. We each have the DIVINE SPARK of creation encoded in our DNA and to say that you are not creative denies the very essence of yourself. Maybe you know how you are creative in your life and maybe you do not know. This FULL MOON will shed some light on the MUSE and what helps you tap into the child-like delight of creation. Now truly you are creating every moment of your experience, including the part that distortedly thinks it is not creative! Follow this Full Moon to your creative, playful child who just wants to have fun. Crap is hitting the fan all over the place and if you focus too much on all that madness you will never have any time to create the reality you DO want!
