Interesting enough……Mercury Retrograde has begun!  After two whole months of working on the first newsletter most people are not finding it in their Inboxes.  Beautiful!  I’ll have to practice sitting back into my jean pockets, breath and repeatedly tell myself…”Isn’t that interesting“. (If you have had a coaching session or energy session with me I use that phrase often when teaching clients to change their re-actions to things that would normally upset them)

Anyway…..part of the August Newsletter until I can figure out how to post the whole thing with pictures and all!  😉

August Energy

“Sit back into your jean pockets and relax your body.”  This is what Jess, my horse trainer, said to me as I’m riding my two-year old Buckskin, Jack, for the first time.   Good thing Jess shared that tip with me because I’ve had to practice that move quite a bit the last two weeks!    Without going into great detail of the challenges with my wholesale orders, computer, website, emails, cell phones, people, relationships, etc. etc. etc.  I’ve had to really lean back into my jean pockets and relax as the energy of August unfolded.      Now here we are the 18th of August with the moon’s phase at First Quarter.  A perfect time where decisions are made, and plans begin to come together!  You feel you just have to get the job done.   That is exactly how I feel about this very first Newsletter…..I just have to finally get this figured out…now is the time.    Especially before Mercury turns retrograde August 21st until September 13th!   The energy during this Mercury Retrograde will be useful for creative processes (be on the lookout for new jewelry creations on the website Blog).     A small reminder that contracts and important decisions are best left until after September 13th….sometimes during retrogrades communications can be strained and things that are said can be misunderstood.   Just sit back into your jean pockets and relax your body during this time.  😉    
Ahh, the Full Moon.  I love the Full Moon!  This month’s Full Moon on August 24th will be in the sign of Pisces, which is another perfect time for creative projects.  It is also called the Full Sturgeon Moon, when this large fish of the Great Lakes and other major bodes of water is most readily caught.    This time of year the moon will also look about 12% smaller than the Full Moon of January 30,  2010.   It will still be beautiful with the reddish tint as it moves into the sky over the harvested wheat fields!  Love, Love, Love the Full Moon this time of year!!  
So sit back into your jean pockets and relax as the rest of August unfolds.  Notice your feelings.  The more resistance you feel this month the harder it will be for you.   My suggestion is to practice sitting back into your jeans pockets (seriously, try it)…..relax your body….especially from the stomach area down to your feet.  It feels amazing to sit “back into your body”.  It’s like the pressure is taken off of you and everything doesn’t look or feel so intense anymore.  The horse, as does life, does not want to buck you off if you just relax and stop holding on so tight .  Enjoy your ride!
