I love the energy of the full moon, and I hate the energy of the full moon. I love gazing at her, when she is full and hanging so close to us, her light emitting a nearly daylight glow. She is peaceful and powerful. She cleanses our crystals and our tools, and us.

Her energy is also chaotic, disruptive, and makes us think about our situation, our past and our future. The emotions can be a crazy roller coaster. We have no option but to roll with it all.

Let’s give ourselves a break. We aren’t perfect, we aren’t meant to be. We have a harder time forgiving ourselves than others do. Sure, we have regrets and there’s stuff we did in the past that we could have done better. We aren’t alone.

We aren’t the sum of our mistakes, thank goodness. It’s time to treat ourselves with the kindness we show others. We are taught to be strong, to be proud and to be there for others. What about us? Do we expect others to look after our needs the way we look after them?

This full moon, think about us, what we want out of life. Believe we will succeed, rather than fail. Believe we deserve love and laughter, abundance, and health. Embrace the love, the awesomeness of the universe and all that the full moon is gifting us.
