Dreaming the Full September Moon

Dreaming the Full August Moon

For the first time we, all three, made full moon dreamboards. Max and I have created them together but this was the first time out for Frank!

Here is Max's.

This is Frank's.

This is mine.

Max and I made dreamboards on the full moon.

This one is mine.

And here is Max's.

Dreaming the June Full Moon with Max

I always create my dreamboards alone. Even if Frank and Max are hanging out in the living room, I create them in this cocoon of personal space around the dining table.

Max mentioned making a dreamboard back when we first began making our plans for the summer, and yesterday he joined me at the table and made his very first full moon dreamboard.

It was a very different experience to do the creating together and I really enjoyed the energy we bounced off of each other as we brought our boards together.

Here's mine.

If you'd like to check out Max's handiwork, you can see it here.

April Full Moon Dreamboard

Sometimes a dreamboard sort of magically comes together, my subconscious does all the heavy-lifting and I breeze through the process. Other times, like yesterday, it is more of a slog, where nothing seems to fit together.

I think this month is about being brave, being strong and doing the hard work, the heart-breaking work that's ahead of me.

Full Moon Dreamboard

Every once in a while I put together a dreamboard that completely baffles me. As I'm pulling the images together, I try not to think too much. Today, I chose the images and words, felt my intuition working in the choices and then I stood back and said, huh?

Completely baffled by this one.

So tell me, what do you see?

Dreaming the Full Snow Moon

Funny to be dreaming under the Snow Moon when the weather has been definitely Spring-like this week. This is certainly reflected in my dream board which is full of sun and color.

I think this is the first time I have used a photo of a person on a board. This woman, looking out, feet firmly on the ground has been languishing in my pile of images for months.

Dreaming the January Full Moon

During the run up to this month's full moon I was certain I would not have time to make a dreamboard. I put the wish away, completely forgot it until this morning.

This month has been filled with a string of spirit crushing projects. The universe pointing out time and time again that I am not in control.

It has been a month of a hundred things that did not work.

It has been a month of testing and trying and failing, failing, failing.

Yet here I am, every morning, making a list, coming up with a plan, trying again.

So, I stopped in the middle of the morning - set everything aside for a moment and gave my deeply frazzled self a chance to dream.

I am dreaming of light, of order and simplicity. I am dreaming of solitude, of stillness and calm.

Dreaming the Full November Moon

Dreaming the Full Strawberry Moon

April Full Moon Dreamboard

I've been thinking a lot about integration, about how I keep the creative me, the dreamer me separate from the mother me, the wife me, the me that runs the house. I'm wondering what it might be like to bring all those parts of myself together.

March Full Moon Dreamboard Stand In

I was all ready to put together my full moon dreamboard. I'd been gathering images. I had my supplies ready.

Then this morning dawned with several unexpected twists and turns and although the meals got planned and the pantry was restocked, the day began to slip away. About an hour ago I realized, it was not going to happen – not today.

And then, like a bolt out of the blue, Jamie tweeted this: No time to make a dreamboard? Write a word, draw a symbol or glue a picture in your journal of what you'd like to invite into your life.

So, I grabbed a handful of my favorite images and a bottle of glue and my journal and in literally five minutes created my March dreamboard stand in. It is not the larger, more complex dreamboard I had planned, but it gets to the heart of things and some days that just has to be enough.

Dreaming the Full Harvest Moon

Dreaming the September Full Moon

Here's my dreamboard for the September full moon. The phrase "Give off light, like a star" is from my Mondo Beyondo dream list.

Dreamboarding the Full Sturgeon Moon

I am trying my hand at some new practices this summer. One of the things that struck me as I journal wrecked with Jamie Ridler and her friends was the power of images and how fun and freeing working at some visual art was for me. I am always up to my ears in words, so thinking about color and images feels new and fun, and slightly uncomfortable.

Today I'm showing off my first Full Moon Dreamboard.

I'm celebrating the abundance of this time of year. I'm making room to grow some big dreams for my life. I'm trusting myself and rolling with the changes.

What are you dreaming of this month?
