A circle held, a life unfolding
This card is built around a circle.
A continuous pattern, interwoven and unbroken — something ancient, something steady. I painted it in metallic tones so it catches the light, sitting against a deep indigo wash that feels like night settling in.
At the centre, a small cluster of pink flowers.
This is the Full Pink Moon — named after the early spring phlox that begins to bloom at this time of year. Not showy, not dramatic. Just quietly, steadily returning.
But this one feels more personal than that.
It falls on my daughter’s seventeenth birthday.
Seventeen feels like a threshold. Not quite a child, not yet fully an adult — but already becoming something entirely her own. Watching both of my children move through these later teenage years, I can feel the shift happening. That gentle loosening. That sense that we are all, in different ways, stepping into a new phase.
The circle in this piece has come to feel like that.
Not something that traps or contains, but something that holds. A reminder that even as things change, there is still connection. Still continuity. Still something that remains.
And at the centre, those small flowers.
Growth that doesn’t ask permission.
Change that happens anyway.
Intention
To honour the shifts that are unfolding — with love, not resistance.
Practice
Pause for a moment.
Take three slow breaths.
Reflect on one change in your life right now.
Instead of trying to control it, simply name what it might be making space for.
