Sweeping off the Cobwebs

The astrology girlies have come across my feeds and made it known to me that some sort of eclipse happened this weekend. That paired with another eclipse earlier in the month has made this time ultra special in various ways. I don't pretend to know exactly what's going on in our galaxy with the positions of the sun, moon, and planets, but I love to make a change in the same time sky events are taking place. I figure if I want to try something new, and the moon is in a position where it can have my back a little bit, I'll take it.

This month there has been a lot of talk about letting go with the first eclipse of that which no longer serves you in order to make space for the new. I have been creating intentions around these two eclipses about what I am ready to let go of and trying to open myself up for what's next. I am trying to follow my intuition around this and my mind keeps coming back to this blog.

I'll be honest I use to write here quite regularly about my family and kids and our adventures. It was a great place to document life. But alas it is 2025 and putting my kids on the internet in any public sort of way is not the move for me. But I still have this space, a space I wrote occasionally about other things. And is it okay if in 2025 I want to write again like the girls did in 2008-2016 the glory years of blogging. I use to love to just read about what people were reading, places, they were going, the small and simple daily actives they use to share. I miss it, and I want to carve that space out again. 

I don't know if it will succeed in a world where there are a million platforms that exist that are easier to access, places to scroll and scroll. Endless entertainment. But maybe there is still a space for me to write, to share, to be, and maybe the placement of the moon is giving me the go ahead to be in this space where I want to be, and let go of the other spaces that no longer serve me.

So here I am. Mallory Hazel. I love to read, crochet, embroider, eat (mostly) plant based meals, talk about Taylor Swift. I'm a mom a daughter and a wife, but here I am coming back to me, outside of those labels. And I am excited for the ride.

Spent a minute yesterday in nature to ground myself for the eclipse, and found this little flower, its petals folding back into each other creating a heart. It felt like a little love note to me from the universe.
