With the gorgeous full moon that is now high in the sky, it’s time for a new dream board with Jamie Ridler. This March’s full moon is the Worm Moon, which doesn’t sound all that appealing. Jamie does a little unpacking of that term, though, and comes up with the following:
as I discovered that this March moon is when the earth starts to soften and the burrowers of her soil find their way to the surface, I started to change my mind. What if we took our cue from spring and allowed ourselves to soften? What if we let what’s within us find its way to the surface? What tender dreams would be revealed?
Because life has been incredibly hectic…again…which has to change, by the way…I have had to resort to pinterest to create my board.
I noticed that I pinned a great deal of words this time around. Not so many images, which I think is odd. I’m not usually draw to words. But right now I’m thinking about growth. The idea of and the need for growth is stirring in my soul. It’s time to make a move. Not necessarily on from the space I currently occupy but to make some transition. To step up in ways that I haven’t in awhile. To step forward. To grow. To make the move. To mature.
Part of that growth, I think, is that I really, really, really want to write. I’ve been making a stab at it for the last couple of months, but I haven’t been consistent. I need to write. On a regular basis. Whether here or in my writer’s notebook, I need to do it. I can’t let work get in the way of the things that are important to me. Along with the need to write, is a strong need to be with other writers. I miss my writing project friends. Terribly. I miss the work that we did together. I miss the camaraderie. I miss belonging to that community, and I need to find a way to get back to that. I’m not sure how to make that transition. But I feel the stirring of that desire.
There is, of course, the literal stirrings in the soil. My husband and I made a trip to Lowe’s tonight. I only intended to bring home one plant. I just wanted one. Something to make me feel better. But somehow, my sweet husband who told me to just wait, we needed to wait because he didn’t want to leave the plants sitting on the porch for five days, started gathering up slightly sad plants and telling me we needed to bring them home. $27 and six plants later, we were on our way home. I’m never going to say no to plants, and after today and prepping for tomorrow, I could use a ton of plants.
What stirrings do you feel with this full worm moon? What is beginning to come to the surface for you?
Really like the chairs, desks and writing part. I found two typewriters in my stuff…. Love the pics of yours. May all your dreams come true.
Thank you! When I moved into my condo a decade ago now, the previous owner had left some books & an old typewriter. I’ve kept the typewriter through many moves. It, of course, has never worked. I just like the way it looks & the reminder it provides me.
So much writing and growth… lovely! May all your dreams come true!
Once I started pinning, it was hard to stop lol!
The Pinterest board is so creative! I absolutely love all of your pinned words/pictures. <3 Especially the "writing and collages" picture. 🙂 Good luck with your goals and dreams, may they all come true!!!
Thank you!
I love pinterest and I love your board! The little emerging bud is particularly beautiful.
Thank you! We’ve got a couple of seeds that have done that same thing. None of them quite so pretty as that though 😉
Pinterest is such a brilliant way to make a dreamboard. Yours is so full of rich clarity. I loved looking through your images and then coming here and traveling even further down the road to your dreams with you. I experienced your trip to Lowe’s with you so clearly that I’m sure that what I was also experiencing was your gift for writing.
May all of your dreams come true.
Thank you Jamie!
