Set your life on fire, seek those who fan your flames.

Find the women who bring out your fire and see your soul, the ones who fight with you, for you, the ones you can call at 3 am and say “I need you” and it will be enough. The ones who build you up, who are always honest with you especially when they disagree. They might not like your decision or choices, but they will support you regardless because they believe in you. When you fall they are first to extend a hand, to stand guard against the world. These women who love you for who you are, they are your tribe and you are theirs

These women, a few you know and others you haven’t met, so keep your eyes and mind open, each one of them will bring something significant to your journey. You will know them by what they offer; what they extend to you sets them apart from the rest, hold onto those few who do not detract from your inner peace. Your circle is sacred and not everyone should be allowed in. Be wary of the soul suckers and emotional vampires,  stand your ground and set boundaries, it's ok to say "Hell no, I don't want that crap in my space". 

I am encircled by women who I feel as if I stumbled upon in some blind accident of fate in one way or another; I was trudging along and there they were, each different in just the right way. I have know some of them since childhood others for a few moments in time and I love them each the same for the individual joy they have imparted.

They make me laugh, push me to dig deeper, surround me with warmth and support when I need it most. They are my friends, my sisters, my captains in adventure and my travel partners on this journey that is wild and crazy. They are my tribe, my funny, inspiring, independent, kind and sarcastic, witty, brilliant, edgy, fierce and incredible tribe.

Remember My Name

I forgot who I was for a hot minute,  I looked away from my truth for a second, lost my light and fell right off the track and into the land of No-No. Wow! You would think that I would have remembered what happens when I deviate from my inner path, man, bad stuff always follows, clearly I did not listen and I fell off track but I'm back baby!! HAH! Take that universe!! I found myself again in the midst of the pain, fear and chaos and I looked inside. I quit looking all around me, turned back inwards in desperation, completely at a loss to understand why I was feeling so wretched and torn up and BAM! I found reality again. It always comes back to self, every single time I fall apart the reason is, without fail, a disconnect from self. It's all on me, it's my job to make sure I am connected to my center, that I am plugged into my core, listening with all my senses and staying true to who I am. Now, that's not to say that some external forces aren't trying t...

Fighting My Demons

I'm having a moment, and I fucking hate it. A moment where everything is upside down, I can feel every thought running through my head like a damn gerbil in those little plastic tunnels, over and over without end. I keep it under control most of the time, lock it down tight but I just can't do that right now. Wishing I could hit the mats and just roll until it goes away or at least slows down, so I can breathe. I am petrified that I won't be able to do what I need to do, what I have to do, afraid that I will break before I reach safety. Today, I am tired of being the strong one who handles it all. When the fuck is it someone else's turn, is what I want to scream out at the world. I already know the answer because I've been screaming for a long time, as always, there is only the echo of my own agony in reply. Those who love the most, suffer the hardest and feel the deepest, there is no escaping unless you shut it all off and that scares me even more then the pain. I ...

Ní thuigeann an sách an seang.

I am starting down a path, that for the first time I can actually see years ahead and know deep in my bones, I will see the end of. There will be pain and growth, laughter and sorrow, loss and and discovery, I will be challenged, encouraged, supported, mocked, envied, healed and strengthened to become the woman I have longed to be. That voice inside who never let me quit, always pushing me towards a goal I wasn't even aware existed, this sense of incompleteness, scratching at the back of my soul and setting my teeth on edge; she knew what wasn't right, what didn't fit and never let me settle in mediocrity, forever questioning every little piece of the puzzle that wasn't quite me.  I am beyond grateful for that voice inside who never let me give up on myself, who would not be silenced or deterred in the quest to connect me with my destiny. I am on that road, having found the other pieces that connect me to myself and I will not be stopped.
