Full Moon Dreamboards - December - The Full Blue Moon

FRUITION

Click to enlarge of you want

This is a rare occasion when we get 2 full moons in one month. So rare it has come to be known as "blue moon" as it happens only "once in a blue moon!"

For this full moon dreamboard I decided to try my hand at painting on canvas. I had a basic idea, but decided I did not want to use traditional paint. SO I used liquid food coloring. I also added of course...some glitter.

Basically at the end of this year 2009 I am already setting my sights on 2010. I am so excited for once at the upcoming new year! I am focusing on all that I know I am about to receive! There were many plans laid and steps taken in 2009 to prepare for the "fruition" of goals in 2010. I am so ready to receive.

Some make new year resolutions and lists of things they wish to accomplish in 2010. I think that is great and I will have many of my own....however...this year I wanted to choose ONE word as my main focus for 2010. I decided on FRUITION! The dictionary definition is:

attainment of anything desired; realization; accomplishment

That is exactly how I already see 2010 taking shape and I have my hands and arms open wide...ready to receive!

Hence my painting. I wanted to create something magical....because I know my 2010 will be beyond something magical for me. I wanted to create something that resembled the aurora borealis.....with magical moon dust raining down on me.

I also made a little slide show of the moon dreamboards I made for this past year....but I did not start until July 2009 so I only have 1/2 year of moon dreamboards here. I also tried to include photographs of the real moon each month that I had also taken.

Anyway.....if you wish to participate in FULL MOON DREAMBOARDS go check out my side bar for Jamie Ridler's studio link.......it is so much fun! You can also check out other moon dreamboards by going to her web site.

I wish each of you a very happy, blessed, and abundant NEW YEAR!

(AFTER all this I realized I forgot at least ONE of my dreamboards on here...apparently I started in June and it was the STRAWBERRY MOON?? I may have made a mistake then on my other moons.....

Full Moon Dreamboard........Full Cold Moon

I am only using ONE image with ONE word again this month for my full cold moon dreamboard. Lately I have struggled with a few things which always tests me.....and the message I continue to get over and over is "BELIEVE!" Just believe.

The month of December my only thoughts are to look at the world and time of year through a child's eyes (as you see here) and really, truly BELIEVE! That can apply to so many areas of my life right now....but even more so this month.

SO...this is a simple dreamboard this time round.

Full Moon Dreamboards "The Full Frost Moon"

CLICK TO ENLARGE if you want.......

Jaime over at JAMIE RIDLER STUDIOS


asks us this month "What do you want to bring to life in this final part of the year? Is it time to breathe some fresh energy into your 2009 goals and intentions? Is it time for completion and clearing? Are you already starting to cast forward into 2010? What will you dream of under the Full Frost Moon?"

Well I don't know about everyone else....but I have a lot of things left unfinished and I would like to finish as many as I can before the end of the year. Now I know I always tend to bite off more than I can chew and I always try to tackle everything all at once instead of breaking things down into smaller projects....so very often nothing I want to do gets accomplished as I am too overwhelmed to even begin. OR I begin, but never complete a project.

I have a lot of organization still to do in the current home I live in to make it more streamlined and functional, more cozy and roomy. I have a lot of boxes to finish unpacking and then put away....or move off site into storage pending a possible move next summer. I have lived in my current space with boxes around me for about 3 years and stuff piled around. I feel choked and suffocated and always have things hanging over my head that need to be done. I am not sure why I always do this. DO I fear once I get things done of the free time I will have? Am I afraid I will be "finished" and I would have nothing left to do which is of course absurd. There are always things to do and new things to learn. My life will never be "finished."

BUT the procrastination or not completing things I set as goals is really bugging me tremendously.

SO before the end of the year I want to focus on organization....getting my house in order literally....and clean....getting myself in order and healthy and lean.....(or on the way at the very least).......and taking the free time I do end up getting and really enjoying all my moments.....remaining childlike so I can really enjoy the upcoming holidays with my son and family.......and enjoy the real vacation time I am planning on taking during the holidays as well. I want to EARN my time off though so I have a lot to do. I am hopeful I will be filled with tremendous physical energy to complete all the physical things I must do before the holidays......and the rest should come pretty easy after that.....or at least I hope!

Full Harvest Moon Dreamboard - October 2009

(CLICK TO ENLARGE IF YOU WANT)

I have had a recurring ongoing THEME in my life lately so it is of no surprise to me it also showed up AGAIN on this month's moon dreamboard.

When October rolls around I start to smell fires in fireplaces.......and notice the leaves beginning to change. Everything becomes cool and crisp...everything becomes a warm, amber glow. I want to become cozy......to have orange glow all around me....surround myself with the ones I love....and just hibernate.

I am blessed. I have abundance in so many areas of my life for which I give thanks. I also have abundance in some areas of my life physically that I continue to struggle with....which prevents me from receiving all that I could or even sharing all I could.

So again the message loud and clear to me was "BURN THE FAT"......SHARE THE EXCESS....and burn/remove the WRONG excesses so I can make room for the positive abundances to show up in my life.

This is a time for organizing......removing....replacing.....making the most of my space.....ALL my space...including MY OWN PHYSICAL space ...rather than the other way around...and have it suffocate me.

In 2 short breaths it will be Halloween....and in 2 short breaths after that Thanksgiving. Then 2 more short breaths it will be Christmas......and 2 breaths after that a new year will be upon us. I am tired of saying the same things and yet not acting on them. I am tired of just letting all this continue to fester and absorb my time and attention. I am tired of carrying around the extra person I wish was in my life and feeding it to keep it hanging around.

And again my SIGN continues to read... "JUST DO IT" ....

Full Moon Dreamboards - "HOW WOULD I LIKE TO SHINE?" - September 4, 2009

My dreamboard this month is very simple. ONE image...one image only. NO words...cause the words just pop into my mind.

I have always been naturally drawn to images/creations/artwork of the sun and moon. I have often wondered why that is. When Jamie asked us how we would like to shine for this month's full moon dreamboard it got me to thinking.

This month's moon is about saying goodbye to the summer season...and hello to the harvest....and fall. It is the full corn moon and sometimes also known as the harvest moon.

I think an image of the sun came up for me again....ironic as it is since I am doing a MOON dreamboard....because of the question Jamie posed to us.

I WANT TO SHINE LIKE THE SUN!!! I want all the hidden parts of me that I have buried under covers for so long to BURST out like rays of the sun and shine for all to see. I want to reflect my light out into the world like sunbeams......filled with warmth and love and nurturing....energy.....I want the real me to finally be allowed to COME OUT AND BE SEEN.

Faces and images of the sun to Native Americans means:

# Sun - Earth Guardian in Day, Healing Energy
# Sun Face - Giver of life, warmth, growth, goodness.
# Sun Rays - Constancy.

I find this so appropriate of how I feel when I look at the sun....or feel its warmth.....or am drawn to another sun creation. It heals me.....gives me warmth and energy......gives life.....it is constant. Filled with goodness and growth!

SO I want to SHINE LIKE THE SUN!!!!

Wishcasting Wednesday and Full Moon Dreamboard.....

CLICK TO SEE ENLARGED VERSION

This week Jamie over at JAMIE RIDLER STUDIOS prompted us on our Wishcasting Wednesday "WHAT DO YOU WISH TO MAKE ROOM FOR?" For our Full Sturgeon Moon dreamboard this month she provided more food for thought, "It’s a time to savour our blessings and welcome in the abundance that is all around us. With the Moon being in Aquarius it is also a great time to get innovative when it comes to our dreams. As you focus on your dreamboard this month, spend some time brainstorming how you might actively welcome in what you desire."

This got me to thinking. I realized I wanted to make room for BELIEF. AND I realized that in order for me to actively WELCOME in whatever I desire I truly had to believe! Especially in myself...which I think I do pretty well...but apparently if things are not always happening the way I want in my life.....perhaps I still lack in that area a bit. Doubts still creep in which ultimately always mess with my motivation, determination, success.

Since this was the STURGEON moon this month I included a stamp of a STARRY sturgeon....and found an incredible sea face moon......and realized after finding photos from magazines or online....all of them connected to water or fish....the sea.....especially the colors. This all started when I happened to pick up my Victorian Trading Co, new catalog and the woman with the boat and oar standing gazing up at the moon was on the cover. HOW appropriate for the full sturgeon moon! It gradually grew from there.

SO....for me....my wish this week is to BELIEVE! No matter what.....believe in all possibilities.

And with my dreamboard I will welcome in all the possibilities..with belief.
