Intentional Connections

Published September 26, 2024 by tindertender

Folks will pick a fight with you, just so they can have a role in your life.

They’ll love bomb you just to gain entry.

Where attention flows, energy goes.

Be aware of what you give your power to.

For they are quite intentional in approaching you.

You’ve got what they need!

A blessing.

A healing.

Sanity.

And in their mind, Power and Control.

Find Your People

Published September 18, 2024 by tindertender

Your crowd can’t be found if you’re hiding.
If you’re afraid to express yourself authentically and transparently,
If you’re afraid to be vulnerable, rejected or ridiculed,
You’ll never find those who are in resonance with your Soul.
Your Tribe.
Chosen Family.
Making decisions based out of fear will cause failure in a person’s life.
The goal is to expand, to elevate,
Not shrink.

Private Ceremony with Creator

Published August 29, 2024 by tindertender

Everyone has an opportunity to do your own private ceremony. To decorate your sacred space, to create your own prayers and bring in your higher power. You can create whatever feeling you desire for your sacred space. Burn herbs or incense, connect with Creator, give gratitude and create peace within your soul. This is all part of your personal spirit. Plan your space and then bring it to fruition.

The Panniculus

Published May 14, 2024 by tindertender

I was today years old when I learnt that the part of the body we affectionately refer to as a pouch has a proper scientific name.

Ladies and gentleman, introducing the panniculus, “an apron of skin and fat that sags below the navel, particularly after pregnancy or weight loss”.

While I won’t be adding panniculus to my baby names list, I do think we should show it a little more love. Because despite what you might see on social media, having a pouch, or a panniculus on a Sunday, is entirely natural and normal. And to prove it, I refer you to the drawing attached.

This piece of art was created in 23,000 BCE, on the walls of a cave in what we now call France. Opinions vary as to whether it represents a woman in childbirth, or an appreciative ode to the female form, but either way her pouch is clearly visible, and she was important enough and interesting enough and beautiful enough to commit to rock for eternity.

It can be hard to feel good about our bodies after pregnancy and birth, and there’s no denying that we have been forever changed by the experience inside and out, but it’s even harder when we try to live up to unattainable and constantly shifting beauty standards.

That’s why this piece of art brings me such joy, the figure is undeniably and unashamedly female, lumps and bumps and all. And if a woman 25,000 years ago, whose life was undoubtedly much harder than mine, can handle this jelly, then so can I.

Sovereign Woman

Published March 8, 2024 by tindertender

There she is, that Sovereign Woman.

She with the courageous heart and the wild soul. She who says, “This is me. This is who I am.”

She wasn’t always this way.

For many years she was hidden away. Revealing herself fully only in the words of her journal and in her closest friendships. Showing up in her truth only when she felt safe enough to be vulnerable.

But now she’s changed. From her appearance to her writing, she’s a whole different woman.

SHE’S THE WOMAN WHO WAS WAITING INSIDE OF HER ALL ALONG.

It was not easy for her, this transformation. She didn’t just step into this embodied self the way you would gracefully step up a staircase.

She had to go deep inside of herself to find this version of herself.

She dug and descended.
Explored and excavated.
Re-membered, re-defined and re-birthed.

And now here she stands: Battle weary. Flawed. Tender.

She’s cried countless tears and faced many shadows. But it doesn’t take much to see there’s something different about her.

What is it? Can you feel it?

Yes that’s it…

IT’S NOT SO MUCH HOW SHE LOOKS. IT’S WHAT SHE’S EMANATING.

She’s grounded in her Wisdom.
Firm in her Strength.
And rooted in her Truth.

She may look like she’s been to hell and back, and in many ways she has, but the raging fire only devoured everything about her that was no longer true.

And what was left behind after all the layers of untruths were burned to the ground was her true essence.

She’s rising out of the ashes now, this Phoenix woman. She’s orienting her life to who she has become.

It’s all brand new to her and she’s far from having it all figured out. But little by little, she’s finding out exactly what it means to be a Sovereign Woman.”
