I sat down to write a New Moon post three different times yesterday. All three times I started to write, got about a paragraph or two into it, and then just couldn’t pull my thoughts together. I’d also like to note that all three posts were about different things. I wasn’t trying to write something specific that wouldn’t flow. It seemed like NOTHING would flow.
I chalked my creativity block up to being snowbound with the boys for two days, and gave up trying. I figured, if something is going to come out of me, it will come when it’s ready.
That’s how I write usually. I don’t have a topic or idea that I sit down and expand upon. I generally just feel a pull to my keys, and if I sit down and clear my mind, whatever is trying to come out, does. Yesterday, writing was taking effort. And the effort wasn’t helping at ALL.
So, I gave up trying to make a post for the New Moon, and went into my bedroom to hide from all the business going on in the living room last night.
While I was sitting there, I felt suddenly inspired to open my wood-burning box. I have done little bits of word-burning art, here and there, for about 12-13 years now. I burned Christmas ornaments for EVERYONE in my family once, many years ago. Each was round and flat with a red, leather, shoe lace hanger. Each had either a snowman, snowflake, Santa’s sleigh, or star on one side, and then the recipients name on the other side. I was really proud of how they turned out.
Anyway, I opened the big box and just started lifting things out and looking at them, unsure what I was looking for, but willing to root around until I felt like the right thing was in my hand. My hand closed on a little, wooden heart, and in my mind’s eye, I saw what I was being lead to.
I plugged in my wood-burning pen, and while I waited for it to heat up, I sat and thought about what it is I REALLY want to see in my life. What it is that I want to focus on and move toward, starting on this February New Moon.
I am continually assaulted with synchronicity regarding spirit guides. I have been for probably almost a year now, but lately they’ve been getting stronger and more specific.
In the book I just finished reading and LOVED (Review is coming next week!), the author talks about realizing that Jesus is one of her spirit guides. She had an inkling and just ASKED, and received a synchronous confirmation almost immediately.
I’ve always been drawn to the Bible. More specifically, the new testament. The stories of Jesus. I’ve even referred to Jesus as “my first guru.” And that just made me wonder if maybe Jesus is also one of MY Spirit guides.
Well, I was on my way to Erie to have lunch with my grandma when I was thinking about all this, sort of zoned out, driving down the highway. And I thought…. Well, I guess if I want to know… I should just ASK. And so I did.
I round a bend and find myself driving past this HUGE billboard that has a giant picture of Jesus that reads, “Jesus, mender of broken hearts.”
So, that brings me back to my New Moon post.
I have made half hearted attempts at having conscious contact with my spirit guides in the past. It feels like I’m being pulled that way pretty hard right now, and I’m feeling a lot more inspired to do so, so that is my focus for now.
I want to make conscious contact with and get to know Jesus (Good grief that sounds Christian…lol).
This whole thing flashed through my mind as I sat staring at my wood-burning pen while it warmed, and I knew that I needed a “burning desire” (it’s an awesome pun, deal with it!), so I burned my desire onto my heart.
As a side note, I just realized that Mercury is going into Aquarius for the next three weeks which will bring easy communication, especially with strangers. I’ve been thinking about this New Moon in Aquarius and the Mercury, Aquarius thing all week, and all week I thought that the changes it would bring would be pertaining to my communication with you all out in cyber space.
Seems that’s not the kind of communication that will be the headliner this month. But it’s yet another way that things seem to be lining up for me to pursue this line of intention.
Pay no attention to the robe and bedhead in the background. I’m being lazy today : )
