I woke late on this rainy, dreary Monday feeling tired from over sleeping. I couldn't seem to get a handle on beginning my day. I went to youtube thinking of meditation music and this popped up. Quite a powerful talk in my estimation , so much so I felt compelled to share it here.

The women I sought for so many years are arriving, some already here. I was the woman on the hillside peering. Waiting. Having spent most of my current decade working and growing in my own self-awareness, I learned to stay in my own lane as I acknowledged and let go of the old ways of thinking and being. I let go of the rules imposed by others and the outside collective. The scarring comments and actions of others I forgave though I do no forget. I see my own self-worth and the gifts and talents that are mine alone. I embrace my lessons, some almost too much to bear, as they taught me to grow into my own truth. To find my voice and not fear using it, although that is a work in process. I stand in my own self-confidence (mostly) and I no longer allow people to take advantage of me because I am kind. I am NOT the woman I was. With the exception of my husband, most others, family, and friends don't truly know me. Can't see or understand all that I am. It doesn't matter. I have nothing to prove to them. In all of this something was still missing. I remained the woman on the hillside seeking a circle of women who would include and embrace me. Then by grace, I found them, or they found me. As much as I wanted to be a part of their circle I had a fear but they quelled it with their acceptance and encouragement. They hold a sacred safe place to be me. to be heard, to be seen. These women are fierce, beautiful, perfectly imperfect and unafraid to stand for themselves and others unapologetic. The women, this circle is all that I yearned for and I know they will always support the continual journey of becoming the best version of myself
I've made a pact with myself to either write or engage in artwork each day.
