This month we are going to be exploring the Moon Phases.
I have week one which will be the Waning Moon.
Monday August 2, 2021 the Moon Phase is
Waning
crescent
30.6%
The moon is called a waning moon when it is in the phase in which its visible surface area is getting smaller. A waning moon occurs between a full moon (when the visible surface is fully round and lit up) and a new moon (when the surface that faces Earth is completely covered in shadow). To wane is to decrease in some way.
WHAT IS THE SPIRITUAL MEANING?
forgiveness & surrender
Spiritually, it is time to get rid of some of those bad habits, stresses, and any negative thinking that you have been experiencing.
This is also known for signifying gratitude. Instead of looking outwards, focusing on our intentions and actions, we need to be turning that inwards. It’s time to think about how you feel and focus on yourself, where you want to go from here, and generally take a look at yourself as a person.
For me I'm in that stage in my life that would be called an Empty Nester. I have been a stay at home mom for 34 years, and the youngest of my six children is moving out in two weeks. So for me it is time to Reflect on the past and think about the next phase in my life.
my journaling for the layout I created for this weeks moon, Waning.
Aug 2, 2021
in two weeks time for the first time in 34 years my life as a mom will be changing.
Kurt, the last of my chicks will be moving out of my home. No more mothering from
the these four walls that held my family all these years. It will be strange to put myself first... I am going to take some time....
This week I want you to focus on what I talked about, an end stage, waning moon, time to reflect, surrender, forgiveness. What are you letting go of? Your layout doesn't have to have journaling to do this we all know just doing our art alone can accomplish a release & reflection.
You may create any style of layout (ie. clean and simple, artsy, pocket style etc.) you wish, with or without a photo. Create any size page you wish. This is for everyone, so have fun and see where the inspiration takes you.
Please post your layout to the Art Journaling Gallery HERE prior to Aug 31, 2021 and then post it in this thread by copying the code (at the right of your gallery image) from the box under "Share BB Code".
We will draw a winner at the beginning of next month for a coupon! Every layout you create is equal to one entry in the random draw. So if you create 1 layout you are entered once, if you create 4 layouts you are entered 4 times.
You can use any products in The Lilypad store or retired products from current Lilypad designers, (just make sure you follow our gallery guidelines).
Forgiving frees our heart to move on.
