February Dreamboard

Yes, I make dreamboards. Yes, I make them on the full moon.

While making my dreamboard for February, I was thinking ahead to my three weeks on the West Coast. I’m taking off to visit my parents and to hide out in their spare room to crank through the final chapters of the EWB book. In my dreamboard, I see the coast in winter – green, grey, smokey blue. I see the space, orderliness, quiet, and stillness I’m longing for – the silence and concentration I need to give this project its final push, and the mental and emotional clarity I’ll need so that three weeks with my parents will be full of love. I see that during this month, my birthday month, I am feeling clear, focused, and that the important elements can be distilled… almost a simplicity to the clarity.

If you think full moon dreamboards might be your thing, check out Jamie Ridler’s online dreamboard circle. After a year of making these collages, I feel that they capture something about where I’m at and what I’m hoping for in ways that words never do.
