Woman On Fire

I live in a way now that if something feels broke, I fix it.

I don’t often lament anymore. Or get stuck in shame, or talk to my mom about it for hours or get everyone’s opinion or eat a bag of whatever.

I do something about it.

For example: Yesterday I was having a real AF relationship check-in with my husband, we hit a painful spot, and decided to get coaching ON THE SPOT.

We got clarity, excitement, closeness, and spent the rest of the day in bliss. The ease that we get when we have nowhere to be and no schedule to keep under other than the spaciousness of going on adventures and experiencing the world together, is incredible.

If something feels like it hurts in my relationships, I lean in and figure it out. I refuse to walk around in pain or allow my loved ones to be in pain.

I often face panic whenever I’d look at my bank account. After a year of feeling like shit, I decided to get some training on money and been rocking my woman on fire programs ever since, that continue to book up effortlessly and with so much fun.

Whenever I look at my bank account, all of my bills have been paid and I still have more than enough. It is an unreal feeling.

If something feels unclear or uncomfortable? I have a conversation right away, or at least I want to.

If something doesn’t feel quite right? I inquire about it and get to the bottom of it.

To allow something to be crunchy, uncomfortable, or unfinished, or not to speak to what I perceive to be an elephant in the room and figure it out, THAT is where I struggle.

To sit in the UNKNOWING and have no idea how something is moving or what is happening, that is when I start to freak out.

Not when I feel like I can act, repair, create, influence, make something.

I know I’m not alone in this:

High achievers, perfectionists, emotionally mature humans, we can have a real hard time with having a hard time.

Letting it not feel that good, and not making a story about it or heaping judgements on self or others. Not RUNNING from the thing that feels momentarily unsolvable, and instead, making space for all of the uncomfortable unclear feelings that come along with it.

In woman on fire, we learn how to sit in the fire. Unharmed.
Freaking the FOOK OUT or going numb, running away or leaning in, and learning self-compassion and gentleness. Learning how to take a breath and make enough space for a feeling until it reveals your heart underneath. It reveals a need you didn’t realize you had, or a desire you have been ignoring.

We get to NOT BE PERFECT, and stay with it anyway. If we fail or succeed or are loved or hated, it makes no difference, for how we learn to show up for ourselves is what keeps us in the fire. Everything that is not meant to be, burns slowly and steadily away. So our aliveness can wake up fully.

Reach out to me to chat to see if this community is for you. For the ones who are tired from running from their fire and ready to embrace it.

Cancer, and It’s Causing Agents

According to CDC.gov vaccines contain the following ingredients: Mercury, Aluminum, Formaldehyde, 2-Phenoxyethanol, Ammonium Sulfate, Amphotericin B, Animal Organ Tissue and Animal Blood, SV40 Monkey Virus from kidney tissue, Antifreeze (ethylene glycol), Aspartame, Beta-Propiolactone, Borax (sodium tetraborate decahydrate), Foreign DNA from animals, Genetically Modified Yeast, Glutaraldehyde, Latex, Live Human Viruses, Methanol, Mycoplasma, Phenol, Polysorbate 20/80 Emulsification, Sorbitol (Artifical Sweetener), Sulfate and Phosphate Compounds, Tri(n)butylphosphate + many more.

Can all be verified with the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/b/excipient-table-2.pdf

As of 2019, your children are scheduled by the CDC to receive one flu shot per year, every year, until they reach adulthood. Concerning the MERCURY levels in those shots, 2 ppb (parts-per-billion) is the maximum allowed in drinking water by the EPA while anything above 200 ppb is considered toxic waste. Almost every flu vaccine contains: “50,000 ppb Mercury = Current ‘preservative’ level mercury in multi-dose flu (94% of supply), meningococcal and tetanus (7 and older) vaccines. This can be confirmed by simply analyzing the multi- dose vials.”

1st Woman Hanged In Salem Witch Trials

Published June 12, 2020 by tindertender

BRIDGET BISHOP ~ On June 10 in the year 1692, a woman named Bridget Bishop was hanged on Gallows Hill in Salem, Massachusetts, after being found guilty of the crime of Witchcraft. She was the first person to be publicly executed in the infamous Salem Witch Trials. Accused, tried, and executed for being a witch, Bishop was known to enjoy a drink or two, operated two taverns in town, and enjoyed the game of shuffleboard. She had been widowed twice.

She was bold, outspoken, independent, self-supporting, and liked to wear fine clothes (notably, a “red paragon bodice bordered and looped with different colors” and lace). She was said to have a sharp tongue. Bishop didn’t fit into her society’s notions of how a “good” woman should behave and her neighbors feared and resented her as a result. Though Bishop was the first to be executed in Salem, she was not the last. Take a moment today to remember her, and celebrate the differences you see around you instead of fearing them.

Daily Inspiration for Women 6-12-2020

Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been. ~ Mark Twain

My favorite thing about wrinkles (yes, you can have a favorite thing about wrinkles!) is that they can be a gauge for happiness. The more lines around the mouth, the more I’ve laughed; and the more crow’s feet around my eyes, the more I’ve smiled. Despite what TV, magazines, and popular culture tell us, wrinkles are a natural, beautiful, normal part of our expressive faces. They are only flaws if we let them be, if that is our perspective. This is true of many physical flaws that we women are taught to buy into.

Today’s Action

Think of a few (two or three) of your physical “flaws” and write them down. If your wrinkles are a gauge of joy, what positives do your other “flaws” represent? For example, stretch marks might represent the birth of a beloved child or a new muscle. Next to each “flaw”, write something positive that it represents. Notice how each one helps you gain new perspective.

Learning How To Bend

Published June 12, 2020 by tindertender

Why is it acceptable to ask for criticism, yet not alright to ask for compliment? We’ve been ‘trained’ to seek the negative … in self, in others, in situations.

Self-trust.

Self-esteem.

There’s always someone to help us in this regard, to the positive, or to the contrary.

When we fully take responsibility for our actions, stop blaming our attitudes and character on past experiences, then we can claim our life.

We can choose the practices we wish to embody. If others are not okay with any of it, let them be. Honor yourself in the moment, every one of them.

If experience brings tough lessons, embrace them as thoroughly as possible to decrease the chances of a lesson needing to be relearned.

Recognize.

Accept,

Or release.

Once you are okay with every little quirk and habit, the rest doesn’t really matter, as long as no harm is coming to self, or any body.

The wind will go where it desires.

In this moment, all the earth stands still.

No fear here.

No fear here.

No fear here.

Start anew.

Begin again.

We Need Each Other

Published June 11, 2020 by tindertender

“No single No one possesses the complete range of faculties. through social union, human beings complete one another, and mutually secure their well-being. Because they need one another, they have been created for living in society and not in isolation.” ~ The Spirits’ Book

Take a good long and hard look at what the so-called leaders are pushing for … I do not speak of the president, but those who fight against him.

Covid-19 came along after a three year attempt to impeach the president. The democrats, indeed, the whole advisory committee, pushed for isolation, and the covering of the mouth, signifying compliance, silence.

They sold fear, ripe and ready to eat, while this president tried to give the cure (hydroxychloroquine) which has even been proven to fight cancer … two for one. But what did the majority of Americans do? They swallowed the lies and rejected the cure … they allowed fear, hatred, and false reporting to take from them what they’ve been wanting and waiting for.

The government, previous to this one, steered jobs away from the American citizens, gifting the citizenry profit loss and opportunity loss for their own well-being.

People need to rise together, for anything other than that is ensuring our own demise.

PS – Joe Biden will be taken out of the race by his own team. Whomever they replace him with will be the true devil, or someone puppeted by him (them, since it is a group thing).

The vote will be for freedom …

… or for more of the same we got before this administration, a true slavery symbolized by the mask and stay at home orders.

More human trafficking, more missing people, more murder as they push to eliminate the protectors of the law, and release serious criminals from prisons.

Don’t let your hatred for one man cause you to throw in the towel on your country.

Regardless of the threats …

Threats that make the most hardened warrior crumble and apologize for supporting the president.

The war is real.

And it is bigger than any one man.

My hope is there will be enough Americans and others in this world to support and bring us into the light.

Pray.

Meditate.

Sing.

Dance.

Whatever you need to do to raise your vibe into one of appreciation and love, do it.

Nature works every time.

There WILL be a one world order.

It will come in the form of slavery, or freedom.

Choice is ours.

It will come from a place of fear, hatred, or good thought processing.

It is important to rule the emotions, and not be ruled BY them.

The enemy uses emotion against us … ALL of us, in various methods.

Notice it.

Stand your ground.

Let There Be Light

Published June 11, 2020 by tindertender

Matthew 4:16 ~ The people who are seated in darkness saw a great light, and to those seated in the region of shadow and death, a light sparkled.

2 Corinthians 4:6 ~ For God, who said: Out of the darkness shine the light!, it was himself that shone in our hearts, to make the knowledge of God’s glory shine, the knowledge that glows on the face of Christ.

Acts 26:23 ~ [Being] the Christ who suffered and the first to rise from the dead, he should announce the light both to the people and to the nations.

Inspiration 6-11-2020

Published June 11, 2020 by tindertender

Make a commitment to learn something new. Have you always wanted to knit, roller skate, skydive, or play an instrument? Try it! Be a beginner and see what calls to you.

One of the secrets to staying young is to always do things you don’t know how to do, to keep learning. ~ Ruth Reichl

Sometimes we stop ourselves from doing new things because we want to do it “right” right away. We’re not willing to be messy or clumsy, or to make mistakes. But trying to always do things right can make us rigid, and never trying something new can keep us isolated in our old routines.

Imagine yourself looking at the world with a beginners mind, and being willing to try new things. This means you are also willing to be messy, clumsy, and imperfect. That’s what beginners do.

I Could Not Lie

Published June 10, 2020 by tindertender

I could not lie anymore, so I started to call my dog, “God.”
First he looked confused,
then he started smiling,
then he even
danced.
I kept at it: now he doesn’t even
bite.
I am wondering if this
might work
on people?

Daily Inspiration for Women 6-10-2020

Published June 10, 2020 by tindertender

I am whole.

I am powerful.

I am divine.

I am enough.

The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself. ~ Anna Quindlen

Many of us hold an image in our minds of who we think we should be, and we constantly compare ourselves to this imaginary version of ourselves. Anytime we fall short of this standard by not being pretty enough, successful enough, smart enough, or fill-in-the-blank enough, we judge ourselves harshly.

The truth of the matter is that we will always fall short of perfection when we compete against an imagined version of ourselves. You are perfectly imperfect, just as you are. Free yourself from the imaginary chains of perfection. You are the only one who can do so.
