How do I know Who I am When all I have been taught Is who to be According to rules That belong to a past That believed in the domination Of nature As a path to power.
How do I know Who to be When the judgment that gets thrown Arises from a fear so old That no one even knows Why it’s wrong To shine Or show pleasure As a woman.
Why would I stay Cooped up in a cage Of shoulds and oughts When this body Is crafted from moonlight And fire And the deeper river Of ancient knowing Guides my every felt sense Of what it means To be a woman.
So I stand Shameless bright My heart open wide Wild crafted pleasure And mountainous might I define myself As I set myself free And I laugh out loud As I birth a new me For all women.

Today I will give thanks for my trials and recognize them for the many gifts they bring. I know I grow stronger in the broken places.

I will shine, because the whole universe is mine.

You are encouraged to find a more peaceful and connected way to live. A regular spiritual practice will transform you for the better. Connect more deeply with your own rituals of peace.
Romantic love comes into focus. Build your love of self from the inside out. You only fear because you lack self-love and acceptance. Jealousy is unnecessary.
A new path opens to you, and you are protected. A rite of passage is close. You are about to pass through a new gateway that will change you. Do not be afraid to open up.
Your time of healing is here. Past hurts will recede. Be inspired to create – this in itself is healing. It is your birthright to create.
It is never too late to change. Regret is useless. Forgiveness may be necessary. Bravery is valuable.

A question many of us are asking ourselves these days.
I Am a resilient survivor.
A tackler of inner triggers.
One who must consciously focus on positive affirmation to counter the habitual negative patterns.
A molder of personal character.
One who is in process of releasing judgement and the need to be right.
A person who has vowed to never simply ‘settle’ for the mediocre, the stagnant waters of life. Making effort to stir it up, open it up, and create that which is beneficial and able to incorporate something greater.
One who recognizes that life is a balance.
Working on the scales of positive and negative, aware that when a negative crops up it must immediately be countered with a positive.
A woman who is taking pleasure in cleaning up her surroundings.
A woman in process of admiring that which she has become … thus far …
She recognizes that pessimism and thoughts about the way things ought to be need thrown out the window.
She longs to love and care for life in all its many forms and ways of being, yet like religion, knows that variance of opinion or belief does not need to be imposed upon another.
Freedom to be, to choose … an inherent right, as long as it does no harm to the children, physically or mentally.
Harm … who is to judge what that is? For it varies on the scale of 1 to 10, as does all else in this world … the Scale of Polarity.
I Am She who sees the light of a child in the eyes of a canine, a squirrel, and many other forms of life.
She who sees love shared among even the smallest of creatures, and the celebration of joy in the simplest of experiences.
One who acknowledges past conditioning created many barriers which need dismantled, patterns of beingness reformatted.
She who is determined to take charge and choose a different future from those of previous cycles. Choosing to be an active Creator of environment and life.
A Gentle Soul capable of a Mighty Roar.
One who accepts the guidance and sometimes path altering pushes from Guardian, Guides, Ancestors and Angels.
She admits that her thoughts and ideas should not, and cannot, form the collective scale of what is appropriate. So she practices release of opinion and the sometimes hidden judgement.
One who is grateful to be free from rule-making and managing the various outputs of another.
The world is filled to the brim with people pushing, pulling and attempting to format the minds and hearts of those living around them, and otherwise, ignoring the internal workings of their own mind and heart.
Any time a criticism arises of someone or something, it must be flipped straightaway to the personal … Am I this or that? Do I do this or that? Only then can we begin the see the reality of outward appearances and circumstances as our mirror, which is most often found to be our own reflection.
That beautiful mirror that allows us to see the Raw Truth, should we be willing.
Take a break and enjoy a quiet period. This time can be used to regroup, recover and stabilize yourself. It is wise to keep in mind the fact that this is for a limited period of time. You are pausing to regain your footing. As you evaluate your environment, check to see if you need to clear any ill with anyone. Ask for forgiveness and be willing to forgive as necessary to move forward. Enjoy this downtime. Acknowledge the importance of recharging your energy so you are refreshed and ready to tackle life and any challenges that come your way.
Nature holds all aspects of light. The light is the same brilliant light that shines out of every child while they are still in touch with the magic of the world and nature. Find the innocence of your childhood light within you and reconnect with it. This light represents your virtue and holds the memory of perfect trust, fearlessness in others and total self-reliance. It will allow you to see the world with the eyes of a child. You will be excited to learn new things every day. How much happier your world would be if everyone reconnected to his or her purest essence!
A new course or route is coming into your awareness. It is time to utilize your knowledge and complete the task at hand. As you finish one aspect of your life, begin thinking about what you would like to do next. This is part of your life’s journey – you are constantly shifting and developing. You may feel contentment, fulfillment and pride, because you have accomplished something. There is productivity and reward as a bonus for your efforts. The good fortune you realize is evidence that you are putting sufficient energy into your life’s journey to get out of it all you desire.

In difficult times, you move forward in small steps. Do what you have to do, but little by little. Don’t think about the future, or what may happen tomorrow. Wash the dishes. Remove the dust. Write a letter. Make a soup. You see? You are advancing step by step. Take a step and stop. Rest a little. Praise yourself. Take another step. Then another. You won’t notice, but your steps will grow more and more. And the time will come when you can think about the future without crying.
