             FULL MOON DRUMMING

             TUESDAY    12/21/10    

              5:00 p.m. - 7:00 pm.

This Full Moon, we celebrate the Winter Solstice (shortest day, longest night of the year) as well as a Total Lunar Eclipse.  Cool beans.

I love planetary alignments in threes.  Power of 3. Woohoo.

Bringing this enerCHI in by DRUMming and LAUGHing and SINGing our song.   Leaning into the winds and banging our drums - rat a tat tat.  Simmering in the cosmic stew of the Moon, Solstice & Eclipse.  Sending vibrations of PEACE & LOVE, just BEcause.

Thank you for the OMazing drumming sessions of 2010.   We held sacred space for people to come hear the ocean and see the moon rise.  We danced in the sand and howled at the moon and banged on our drums.  We sang sweet melodies of the past and swam in the moonlit water and flew kites. 

We thank everyone for the drumming, dancing, singing and praying.  We look forward to more magic in 2011.  A big thank you to SG Cheyenne for the painted labyrinth for our sacred space. 

Praying for transparency last Sunday brought up a lot of HA HA moments this week.

Tuesday morning - the temperature was 36 degrees Farenheit.   This kind of cold was why I left Montreal, Canada.   Here we are experiencing it in South Florida.   And it's not even winter yet.  Ha ha ha.

These ha ha moments became an A-ha MOMent for me.  Facing my fears - I realized that I fear the cold.  More specifically, functioning in the cold.   I am so used to complaining about the cold.   " It's too cold.   I'm not used to this. I can't do this today because it's too cold."    I have listened to people complaining about the cold for 40 years.   

Of course, for transparency's sake, we experienced the coldest temperatures this part of Florida since 1968.  Ha ha ha. 

Noticing my attachment to complaining has been very powerful.  Being honest with myself about my attitude and embracing the cold is empowering.  Consciously choosing to breathe into my feelings and HA HA HA about what I have no control over is very freeing.  

Seeing MOMents for what they are - neither good, nor bad - just a MOMent when I can LAUGH - let go of the Mama Drama - and find the gift of the Present.

For me and for the greater GOOD.

                           I am a LUCKY GIRL

                                   I am, I am

                         HA-le-lu-ja-ha-hA-HA

                                Woo hoo
