Full Moon - Aug 22, 2021

Aug 22

I preface this with feeling rushed or under the gun to “do something”… as in to write something for all of you, somewhere and someplace in the future.

As I sat doing my best mom meditation or efforts of finding stillness tonight, I keep thinking about fullness, peak of energy, and riding the wave. I’m reflecting on noticing what I often think about how hard it is riding the wave and feeling the need to describe in detail what lead up to it, why it’s hard, how I’m feeling, and how I’m pacing.

While today specifically was a challenging day with an afternoon of celebration with friends + little people, I look back and realized that I used so many skills I’ve learned over time. I built the container to find my flow inside. I have the skillz to marry the two. Building containers to find flow inside.

I’ve built the container to do moon rituals. I’ve made the commitment, and regardless of when or how I show up — that is part of my lesson. Yet, what I can say is that I AM showing up. That’s a win.

So that’s what this full moon brought me. Appreciation for the fullness of energy and ripeness of the season.

Much love,
Erika the Doula
