I'm so glad that the month of March is almost over.  It has been a rough, crazy month.  A friend described it perfectly this past week:

We got 1st Class Tickets on the Crazy Train! And this is one 1st Class Ticket we don't want!
​
When I told the story to another friend over a glass of wine, her comment:

At least you aren't driving the crazy train!

So true. And then I told her what I would do...

If I was driving the crazy train, I would pull the emergency brake, 
get off of the train and walk away.

And in retrospect that is exactly what I did.  I didn't get swept up into the drama.  I didn't get swept into playing the Rescuer when...

• People intentionally didn't do their best work in hopes that I would pick up the slack.
• People tried to pass off their problems as my problems.
• People wanted me to make decisions for them, so that they had someone else to blame if anything went wrong.

Instead, I focused on...

• Becoming a Certified Master Business Health Assessor.
• Finishing my oracle card deck (waiting for the prototypes to arrive via mail).
• Finishing a "very" rough draft of my book.

This past month taught me that I have finally learned to grow and bloom where I'm planted, even if I'm planted under some concrete. 

Are you feeling like you are trying to grow and bloom under concrete these days? 

Join me Tuesday night and learn how to bloom where you are planted.  Details below.

How has your month of March been going?  The crazy train showed up at my doorstep filled with circuses and flying monkeys, which told me...the March Full Moon energy is doing some heavy spring cleaning in prep for the Spring Equinox and the New Moon.  I even had a non-spiritual friend call me and ask "What is going on with this full moon?  My significant other yelled at me for replacing the empty toilet roll paper will a full one and all of my friends are acting bat sh*t crazy!!!"  My response...

Take a Deep Refreshing Breathe
Take a Deep Nourishing Breathe

Invitations of the March Spring Equinox and New Moon

Invite balance into the parts of your life that feel out of alignment.
Look at where things feel out of balance in your life.  Where do things feel off-kilter?  Where do you feel out of alignment?  Are there ways you can bring more balance into those parts of your life?


Wake up.  Time to “Rise & Shine”.
After months of hibernating and focusing inward, it is time to wake up and become alive again.  Embrace this new beginning.  Ask yourself “What excites me right now?  What inspires me?  What do I feel drawn toward?”

Open yourself to new beginnings.
You’re moving into a season of phenomenal & monumental growth.  And you have the power to grow deeply and profoundly, this season.  You do not need to know the what & how!  You don’t have to know what’s going to grow for you, you don’t need to know what it looks like or how it’s going to happen.  You only need to trust that spring is the beginning of the growth season.  Open yourself up to the potential of new beginnings in the weeks ahead.


Tend your soil.
The gardener knows – before any seeds can be planted, the soil must be rich enough to support new life.  What groundwork do you need to do before you can support new growth in your life?  What do your body & spirit need, in order to provide the rich, fertile soil required for new seeds to take root?

Today is the March Full Moon.  I can tell because my sleep has been restless since Saturday due to a mix of toss/turning and crazy dreams.  I've been feeling scattered and ungrounded.  This AM I awoke from the craziest dream that I will title: 
 
SUITCASE STORIES

In this dream I'm waiting in front of a hotel for a bus to take me to the airport with other people (friends/family).  As I wait, I realize that I don't have my suitcase, so I return to the hotel and get my suitcase.  When I return to the front of the hotel, I realize that everyone had left for the airport and left me behind with their suitcases.  I was angry and upset.  And then the questions entered my mind:

• How could they leave me behind?
• How will I get to the airport?
• Why did they leave their baggage behind for me to carry?
• How am I supposed to carry all of their baggage through the airport?

​
I ordered a taxi.  As I waited in the crowded street, panicking that I would miss the flight, I spoke to a traffic cop.  After we spoke, I noticed one of the pieces of luggage was missing.  I then realized that everyone was eyeing all of the baggage I had around me as if they wanted it.  I realized that I couldn't fight them off, so I decided...

This isn't my baggage...feel free to take it!

By the time the taxi arrived, the only suitcase that was left was mine.  

The lesson of this dream (as I've coached clients around this subject), is that people will intentionally create drama in your life with the expectation that you will drop everything and cater to their drama.  As a result, your needs are pushed to the back burner.  When you put your needs first or express frustration about the drama, these drama people don't want to hear about it and will make you feel guilty for even considering putting yourself first.  After all - it's all about them!   

The intention of this March Full Moon is to bring old wounds to the surface that need to be dealt with.  These old wounds can magnify where we have not been taking care of ourselves.  My dream is fully lined up with this March Full Moon.  Looks like I need to remove some baggage!  So, in summary, the purpose of this full moon energy is to point out....

Where in your life have you been putting your needs second in order to maintain a relationship (personal or professional)? 

What baggage (old story) do you need to lose in order to take better care of yourself and put your needs first?
