Change Happened Then what?Blame it on the moon: Full Moon, Full Hearts and Lunar LessonsOn a night when the moon feels too loud to ignore, I watch Waylon and Dalton patrol the living room like it’s an emotional battlefield and laugh at how the world can get wildly extra—one cut-off driver, one rogue autocorrect, one raccoon sighting at a time.
In this Smile Drop, the full moon becomes both chaos and companion. Sleep gets weird. Emotions rise closer to the surface. Dogs stare at walls like they’re holding secrets. And yet, beneath the ruckus, there’s something quietly beautiful happening.
This short reflection unfolds like a diary en...
