There’s a night each month when the world feels just a little brighter—the full moon. Simple and steady, it’s been showing up forever, reminding us to pause and take a breath. There’s something about its glow that stirs our imagination and invites us to reflect. Tonight, Friday, November 15, is one such night.
The full moon gives us a quiet chance to reconnect with ourselves. Here are a few ways to soak in its magic:
Write Under the Moonlight: Find a quiet spot with your notebook and let the moon’s glow guide your thoughts. Write down what’s on your mind or set a small intention for the month ahead.
Let Go of What’s Weighing You Down: Use this time to release anything you’re ready to leave behind—an old worry, doubt, or habit. Sometimes, all it takes is writing it down, tearing it up, and moving forward.
Take a Moonlit Walk: Step outside, even just for a few minutes. Under the full moon, even familiar places can feel different—calm, quiet, and filled with fresh perspective.
In a world that never stops, the full moon is our reminder to slow down and simply be. It’s a small gift, waiting for us to look up and take it in.
