Stepping into Boldness

Stepping into Boldness
Becoming the Heroine of Your Own Life

We’re standing in the energy of a New Moon in Aries - the most vibrant and inspirational of all new moons. This moon phase is always about new beginnings. And with the sun and moon both in Aries, it’s an ideal time to connect the emotions of your heart with the mental thoughts and ideas swirling around in your head. This is the only way you can get wholeheartedly behind whatever emotional changes or projects take root at this time.

During a new moon phase, it is important to plant our “dream” seeds, nurture them carefully and watch them grow.

But before you do this, you need a vision - which is an idea. And you need a plan - which is a realistic way of moving towards your cherished goal. Then you need patience - which isn’t the same as doing nothing. It’s all about helping along what wants to happen.

This is one of the most opportune times to push ahead with plans and projects that are most important to you personally, and not become distracted by what is going on around you.

Since this particular Aries New Moon is in easy aspect to Neptune, being creative or being spiritual will be all the more important. Listen to that inner voice - and you will know which dream is being awakened from its slumbers. And remember the old saying, “The dreamers of the day act with their eyes open and make it happen.”

Think about that “something” that’s been itching to forge ahead. Up until now, you haven’t had the courage to release it for fear of failure or rejection. It’s time now, to take a risk.

As creativity author Julia Cameron says, “Take the leap and trust that the net will be there.”

This New Moon in Aries is calling for you to take a risk. It’s giving you the energy and the momentum to be the heroine of your own journey.

But only you can do it for you. No one else can.

You’ve got two choices during this new moon energy. You can stay still and remain where you are - and continue to wonder, “What if?” ~ Or you can be bold - and take the bull by the horns (so to speak) and take the risk.

What’s the worst case scenario? Perhaps you find out that your plan needs a bit of tweaking in order to get the results you want. Or maybe your idea is missing an ingredient of some kind.

But you’ll never know if you don’t try.

So what do you say? ~ Ready to take the leap and be the heroine of your own journey?

This is the moment you’ve been waiting for!

Celebrating YOU this Valentine’s Day

Tina Games-Evans — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 19:40:37 +0000

Most of the messages coming our way this time of year are to “be someone else’s valentine.” But what if we took this opportunity to be our own valentine?

With the moon in its new moon phase, it’s a perfect opportunity to connect with the one who can truly bring love into your life - YOU! ~ Your well-being - emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually - depends on you.

And this particular Valentine’s Day coincides with the New Moon in the astrological sign of Aquarius - the sign of genius and innovation. This makes it an ideal time to honor the inner goddess within you, celebrating her wisdom and intuition.

This Valentine’s Day, write yourself a love letter.

What is it that you love about yourself? What is it that you love about being you?

Take some time to honor yourself by showing your gratitude in a letter. And when you’re done, decorate the letter and tuck it inside your journal or put it in a special place.

And when you’re feeling low, pull out the letter and read it. It’ll serve as a reminder of how wonderful you truly are.

Happy Valentine’s Day to YOU!

Celebrating the Winter Season

The winter season is a natural time of hibernation - to prepare for regrowth in the spring. And for us, it’s an ideal time to go inward to reflect on lessons learned and where we are in the moment. ~ As we prepare to enter the winter season, think about your own personal growth. What opportunities did you have this past year that allowed you to go one layer deeper? Take some time to write about this in your journal.

The ABCs of Gratitude

Tina Games-Evans — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 13:38:49 +0000

With Thanksgiving coming up in two days, I can’t think of a better way to show my gratitude to my family and friends - than with an AlphaPoem - listing all the things I’m grateful for - from A to Z.

I’ve decided to call my poem “The ABCs of Gratitude.”

So I’d like to invite all of you to create your own “ABCs of Gratitude” and share it with your family and friends. You can list the letters A-Z vertically on a page - and either list a word that starts with that letter - or a sentence that begins with that letter.

It would be a beautiful way to begin your holiday gathering.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving - and safe journeys to all who are traveling!
