Tangled Up In Blues on a Full Moon Valentines Day

This Valentine’s Day has not brought up some twisted feelings.

Tangled Up In Blues in the Garden of the GodsAlthough I had blue skies yesterday that revitalized me greatly, the grey sky today had me tangled up in “blues” a bit.

I kept breathing through the memories that were trying to haunt me all day long. So I was still able to be very productive today.

I got the Commonwheel Art Festival meeting minutes written up with extra contact information for some of the jobs that needed doing by committee members, not me. Sent out other items/photos I had promised to send the committee. Contacted the person that made a proposal to help the Art Festival have a better profit and we are looking to meet with another important person to make this work next week.

Prompted someone to send out press releases about the opening for new members. She was a bit grumpy, but did it. When she posted what she wrote in our DropBox, I was able to easily and quickly post it on the Festival FaceBook page. Where I saw we are up from 600 Likes to 960 over the last few months!

Revamped the sponsorship letter and sponsor level information sheet. Sent that off to the two people who said they would contact potential sponsors and work on writing grants using some of the info in that letter.

My brother needed another new date for where his band, Parish Gap, will be playing added to his web site. Done!

He is working with my nephew-in-law’s company, Ellis Fab and Design, and they needed a big piece of equipment put on their web site. That involved many photos and a bit of thinking of how to make it look the way they wanted it to look. Got that done. He liked it, but now wants a headline added. Tomorrow I will do that and get them and a few other people some billing information about what they owe me for work done the last few months.

I have been joining Aine’s Healing Circle for many years that happens every other Tuesday.  During tonight’s Full Moon Transmission lead by Aine, tears welled up. She spoke of the moon being in the 29th Gateway, which is the Gateway of YES.

Yet, instead of feeling a joyful readiness to embrace life, I was reminded of the many times I had said “Yes” to situations that were not in my best interest.

Donna Woodwell wrote, “The full Moon is associated with all energized states — heightened passions and emotions, sleep disturbances and strange dreams. These feeling often last for a few days before and after the precise full moon.”

Well, I have been having strange dreams, and unpleasant memories rising up to haunt me quite often the last few days leading up to this Valentine’s Day. Hopefully that will end tonight!

Put a pink stained glass butterfly on my roommate’s pillow for her to find the next time she comes home. It was a gift to me from the person who made it and was picking up items form the Commonwheel’s Pots by the Pound sale. I had looked at it, put it down to think about it. The artist saw me do that, and reached down and told me to take it home. Really nice memory.

When I went to fix my dinner after doing that, saw an interesting package on the counter in the kitchen. It holds a very large Salt Crystal. Her boyfriend bought her roses that she took into her bedroom. And she gave him this crystal, that somehow got left here when the went out to dinner.

I really love it when music comes on that reflects what I am writing.

Bad Day” by Daniel Powter just began playing. OK, now I need to take the advice of getting past it and have a great day tomorrow.And a bit earlier, when writing my Spirit Renewing Hikes blog, “What Doesn’t Kill You, Makes You Stronger” was playing. That has been my theme song for many a year. It has gotten me past letting a negative situation influence how I go forward in life.

So it was very appropriate that both of these songs showed up on the play list I was listening to tonight.

It is getting late, but think I will wind this up, shut off the computer and take a short walk up my street under moonlight of a Full Moon in Leo.
