Finding the Magic in This Moment

Happy Full Moon, and Happy first day of October!

I really don’t understand how it’s already October but at the same time the months seem to be flying by so here we are knee deep in the kick off to the festive holiday season.

This month has 2 full moons, today the first day of the month and the second on the last day of the month, Halloween. If you’re a Halloween person, this might make it feel even more fun and in the spirit of things so to speak. If you’re living somewhere like me where Halloween has been cancelled due to regulations, that’s okay you can still get into the spirit of the festivities at home in ways that feel like a fit for you.

Some people have told me they’re going all in on decorating and doing all the things because they haven’t been able to go anywhere or do anything and decorating feels uplifting for them. Other people have told me they’re putting out some pumpkins and putting up their trees so they can get it all going at the same time. While yet another group has told me they just don’t have the energy for it.

No matter where you fall in these groups or somewhere in between or a totally unique hybrid; I think that 2020 has really shown us where we are and what is important to us right now. It doesn’t matter if what’s a fit for you is the same thing as someone else you know and love. Lean into where you are from a place that feels supportive, comforting, and nurturing for you.

If you feel like going all in, great!

If you feel like putting the entire holiday season on blast at the same time, great!

If you feel like this year you need to establish calm and not add additional work to your plate, great!

If this has never been your thing and you just don’t feel like doing it, great!

As we move into the holiday season, schedules traditionally tend to get busier with more things to get done and more places to be. This year however, even though we haven’t been going anywhere it feels like we all could use a collective respite.

More than ever, this is a time to honor what you know you need to do to give yourself some extra tlc. Pay attention to how you feel about leaning into this seasonal shift as it’s a great litmus test for the things that your soul is longing for.

Tuning into the areas that speak or resonate for you will help you to know where you’re at right now and what your spirit is asking you to increase or decrease to create the recipe that’s right for you, right now.

This is a big spirit month too, this is a time when the veil gets thinner and we’re able to connect more easily with our higher self, guides, angels, and departed loved ones. As you take a little time to invest in the areas where you can use some extra support, you’ll find these other connections are stronger for you too.

In the Northern Hemisphere we’ll begin having shorter days and longer evenings, and cooler weather which will bring people inside even more than we’re already doing. The quiet, the darker days, and the time doing gentler or inside activities quiets the mind of too much chatter which also increases the connection to spirit.

You can also strengthen that connection through meditation, creativity, play, intention, prayer, practice, and formal training.

If 2020 has been a crash course in getting clear on what is and isn’t working, let this month be a time where you fine tune what your soul has been trying to tell you for some time, maybe more than just this year.

Lean into the energy of this month, take time to turn inward.

Look over your list of what your soul would like more of and take action on those things to the best of your ability.

You may find a connection back to the real you, even though you were never gone, the connection may become clear and open as you give yourself permission to honor the places and spaces of yourself that want some attention and tender loving care.

I love that this month has full moons on the first and last days, they feel like book ends to me; marking important work and insights that will happen between them while also moving into some kind of portal. Lean into this time in the ways that are right for you. October is giving us a gift and an opportunity to do some important work on ourselves and our spaces so we can prepare to move through the end of 2020.

I’m wishing you a powerful and supportive month filled with the things that soothe and speak to your soul.

With love from my teeny corner of the world,
Kristy~ xoxo

P.S. There are still fires where I am and for so many others throughout the west. Thank you so much for your heartfelt thoughts, notes, prayers, and good vibes that you’ve been sending; it’s very appreciated!

If you’ve been here for a while you may know that in, October I give myself the soup, stew, and chili challenge where I make something under that umbrella every single day for the entire month. I was going back and forth about it this year because you know…all the things. However, I’ve decided to do it so I’ll try to keep you updated on my progress and will share through stories on the gram.

Okay…I’m signing off for now because one of the things my soul needs is more magic, whimsy, quidditch, and butter beers. I’m going to get out my Harry Potter stuff and set it up so I can watch the movies whenever I feel guided this month.

Until then…Mischief Managed.
