MOTH ERA ••• The moth obsession ensues. I connect with the transformative beauty, night time presence, unique colors and patterns. My beau gifted me a new journal for my porch ponderings. I think I'll scribble a few LUNAR musings for the moths, today's new moon and me.

One year ago I was leaving the Oregon Coast and preparing for my trip to Nova Scotia. What a year it has been. Talk about transformation! Maybe the moths understand my need for change, maybe I see myself in them. I am feeling grounded as we head into the heat of summer. Summer is my least favorite season, call me crazy.

Enjoy your new moon transformations, kids home from school, kids starting new things, summer kick off, PRIDE, Knicks collective effervescence, quiet Sundays and mocktails.

Whatever your world is, make a choice for you somewhere along the way. 🦋
