Full Cold Moon Dreamboard

Tonight is the full moon and time to create the last dreamboard of 2011.

Jamie Ridler hosts the creation of monthly dreamboards and it has become a very important practice.

At the noon moon I started collecting pictures and words. What I* think I will use often changes quite a bit when it comes time to create the dreamboard. It certainly did tonight.

Finding the nautilus picture changed the direction of the board. I had read "Gift from The Sea" by Anne Morrow Lindbergh this summer and I was captivated by her use of shells to explore women's lives.

The nautilus is a symbol for expansion and it seemed to fit with the idea of doing more, of looking for miracles, for celebrating.

I see the end of 2011 and 2012 as a year to continue making small steps forward. Of trying new things and expecting the best. I turn 60 before the next full moon and wanted this dreamboard to look to the new year.

I want 2012 to be my most creative year yet.

Be sure to visit Jamie Ridler Studios and see all the other dreamboards.
As Jamie describes the dreamboard this month:

"Here we are, sharing our dreams under the last full moon of the year. Take time to celebrate all the blessings that have arrived this year, all the dreams that have started to blossom, bloom and bear fruit.
And then, as you stand at the edge of 2012, let yourself dream anew. Invite the magic in. What is in your heart? What are you dreaming of?"
