A Collection Of Moments: September
A Collection Of Moments, was my year long attempt to actively notice the changes and beauty within each month. This project started last October and has come full circle. A year goes by quicker than we think. At first I wasn’t sure if this project would continue for another year, but I think not. This feels like the end.
Each month has a definite quality to it. There is an ebb and flow that I notice more. Maybe it’s that I’m getting older too. I’ve experienced quite a few seasons. So as my life began in September, I’ll end this project in September. Because each ending is really just a beginning somewhere else.

SEPTEMBER is …
Pumpkins and apples.
Cider donuts and early eggnog.
My mom’s personal labor day.
Leaves slowly falling.
That last burst of color.
Orange and red.
Jackets and boots.
Losing the light.
Autumn taking hold.
Bruja Full Moon Magic Playlist
Between this being Palindrome Week, with Friday the 13th yesterday, the full moon today, and my birthday being this past week, it’s been feeling like a magical time.
Also, there were lots of sudden out of the blue endings and beginnings in my life during this time. Something is in the air.
I have a playlist on Amazon that I listen to while I’m driving. Several of the songs I found on my monthly Cosmic Playlists by Chani Nicholas. I listen to Virgo, my sun sign and Taurus, my rising sign. It’s a great way to find new to me music and inspired me to create a new playlist.
There were some witchy songs that I took from the driving list and moved to a separate playlist celebrating the full moon mood and bruja magic. Below is a list of the songs and a link to it on Spotify if you’d like to listen to it too. The 17 songs take an hour and twelve minutes to play. Enjoy!

A Collection Of Moments: August
 A Collection Of Moments, is my attempt to actively notice the changes and beauty within each month. Because what is life, but a series of moments strung together like twinkling lights on a string?

AUGUST is …
Too soon sunsets.
Back to school.
Bay State teetering between False Fall and Second Summer.
Virgo season!
Sweaters and shorts.
Humid and chilly.
Wistful.
Endings and beginnings.
Still summer.
But on its way out….
