Full Moon Dreamboard: Full Wolf Moon

15 Replies

This month’s Full Moon Dreamboard from Jamie Ridler is explained this way, “What are you hungry for under this Full Wolf Moon? The wolf reminds us to connect to our hunger, to notice what desires are calling for our attention. Our dreamboards can help us bring these desires to light and to being! This is an invitation to not just notice our desires but to begin the important work of tending them, stepping into what we can do to honour what we know of our dreams. What a beautiful way to begin the year.”

The Full Wolf Moon asks: “What are you hungry for?”

A fresh start, a new beginning, joy and laughter, a sense of freedom, letting go of attachments, inviting something new, starting over, beginner’s mind (“only don’t know”), stop being stuck, stop waiting, stop suffering, grow wings, open my heart wide, a joyful and healthy relationship with food that feeds my body rather than comforting or numbing my feelings. Freedom. Joy. Every moment an opportunity to begin again.

The food, friends, and festivities of this season.

Oh baby, it’s cold outside, but inside it’s is warm, warm, warm. My belly and heart are full, and my face hurts from smiling so much (or is it from all the eating?). Butter cookies with lemon glaze, important and heartfelt conversations over a Red Table, a yoga class of 12 where I recognize every face, twinkly lights, pictures of the cutest of kids coming in the mail, Pine Ridge kids getting their presents, and another year to celebrate the birth of the most important person in my life, (not to be confused with the “reason for the season,” it’s Eric‘s birthday today).

The Library.

As I work my way through Jennifer Louden’s “The Comfort Queen’s Guide to Life,” Geenen Roth’s “Women Food and God,” and Season Four of “Mad Men,” I am so thankful for libraries. We may be completely greedy, capitalist over-consumers in other ways, but that’s one place where we remember and practice wisdom and kindness, sharing and service.

Prompts and Questions, From the Universe to me.

Things like “What was your first job?” and “How did you meet your husband?” and “What is your deepest wish?” remind me that I have stories to tell. This shifts my entire perspective, this reminder. I go from despair, self-loathing, and confusion to a sense of joy, possibility, and faith. I know who I am and what I am supposed to do, and I know that it will happen.
