nov 1st- new challenge

I love days like today, there isn't anything special really that happened, it's just the way the day landed. Not only is today the first day of the week, but it is also the first day of the month. And you can't forget about the full moon that was last night. It was absolutely gorgeous. 

Let's talk about the full moon. It was a blue moon, and it was on Halloween. I don't know much about the meanings of lunar phases, but I do dabble a bit in astrology (that mainly means that I follow a lot of people who I think I know what they are talking about). There was a lot of talk about this moon. The biggest thing was that it was important to not set any new intentions. This moon was about cutting negative ties and revive intentions already set. For the past few hours, I have been trying to think about how I will let this moon affect me. Then it all came to mind.

At the beginning of the year, I decided to try something different. Instead of doing resolutions, I decided to pick words I wanted to be highlighted in 2020. Laying in bed, mind scattered, my eyes landed on those words taped above my desk:

    CREATE    CONTINUE    CONSISTENCY    CONNECT    CONFIDENCE    CHANGE

After so much meditation and prayer, these were the things I wanted my year to be (they all just happen to start with a "c").  The biggest thing was "CREATE". I wanted to stop thinking that I can't be a creative person, or that all these thoughts stop in my mind. I needed to push for something further. There are so many ideas that flood my mind and fill the empty spots in my mind with color, it drives me crazy to have them all stuck in here. 

Looking at that paper helped me to see what I have been missing. I was lacking the fulfillment in promises I've made to myself. Where was the progress?? 

I'm done waiting. This moon is showing me that there isn't any point in waiting. All that does is leave me in the dark when there is so much sun to be warmed by.

Today is the beginning of November and a new week. I have decided to go back to what makes me the happiest and what makes me feel like I have done the most. I am going back to my words. 

Let's start with create. 

This month I have decided to write one post a day on this blog. There will be no requirement other than there has to be a title (could be the date, or something creative), and something has to be written down, with some effort. 

I'm trying something new to reset something old. 

Wish me luck.
