Full Moon:
December 2, 209
"The Full Cold Moon; or the Full Long Nights Moon - During this month the winter cold fastens its grip, and nights are at their longest and darkest. It is also sometimes called the Moon before Yule. The term Long Night Moon is a doubly appropriate name because the midwinter night is indeed long, and because the Moon is above the horizon for a long time. The midwinter full Moon has a high trajectory across the sky because it is opposite a low Sun. "

Black Friday is one of the biggest shopping days of the year. In accounting, "red" means a business is losing money and "black" means a business is making money. Since a lot of retail businesses make a large portion of their profit during the holiday season, Black Friday represents the day they go from "being in the red" to "being in the black."

GUIDANCE FROM THE GUIDES
Let's face it, life is a challenge sometimes. We try our hardest to do the best we can, but sometimes still feel like we are not successful. We ALL have challenges in this life, regardless of how it looks from the "outside" perspective. The key is to learn and grow from our challenges and let them open our hearts to compassion and love instead of closing us off and keeping us entrenched in fear and doubt.
How do we look on the "bright side" when we feel like there isn't one?
I have health challenges. I have written about them before. They are not something I am able to control, although I spent almost a decade trying to do so. In my controlling and ego-based mindset, I thought if I just ate a certain way, or didn't eat certain things, or took the right combination of supplements, then I would feel better. You wouldn't believe the hundreds of combinations I have tried over the past ten years!
What I have discovered though, is that the answers do not lie in controlling behaviors. For me, answers do not lie in pills to mask the symptoms. My answers lie within my heart and have always been there, I was just too afraid to look. The "bright-side" that we look for is the hope and love and connection to "Source" that only come to us through our hearts.
My body imbalances are here to help me open my heart to compassion and love. Let's face it, all of our challenges are here to help us find our heart center and true nature.
So, do you let the circumstances in your life drive a wedge between you and the world? Do you embrace the fear and use it to keep you shrouded in the illusion of separation? Do you think that it is really you versus the world?
