Nots : Badass Women

I have taken the liberty of making a list of things we are not doing anymore.

We are not overgiving as if we may die for enforcing a boundary.

We are not people-pleasing as if anyone’s validation is going to mean one damn thing on our next bad day.

We are not over-functioning as if there is no one else that can do it.

We are not practicing needy behavior. You are enough and you have been given everything that you need to be who you are.

We are not practicing passive-aggressive behaviors. If you have something to say by all means say it.

We are not giving up our power as if we are small children.

Own who you are.

Stop playing the victim.

You are a warrior,

a survivor,

a BADDASS!

We are not giving ultimatums. People are who they are, they deserve the same space that you do to be you, to make your own decisions that are not based on someone else’s opinions.

We are not doing this shit anymore. Instead, we practice self-love and through self-love, we heal ourselves.

They are not the tragic ending but the heroine of our own story.

A Moon Woman’s Musings

To the Woman who is fading away

To The Woman Who Is

Slowly Fading Away

To the woman who has

lost her spark.

To the woman who’s

get up and go,

has well and truly gone.

~THIS IS FOR YOU~

This is to remind you, that you don’t have to be everything to everyone, every day.

You didn’t sign up for that.

Remember when you used to

laugh, sing and throw caution to the wind?

Remember when you used to forgive yourself more quickly for not always being perfect?

You can get that back again.

You really can.

And that doesn’t have to mean letting people down or walking away.

It just means being kinder to you, and feeling brave enough to say no sometimes.

Being brave enough to stop sometimes and rest.

It starts the moment you realize that you’re not quite who you used to be.

Some of that is good, and some of that is not.

There are parts of you that need to be brought back.

And if anyone in your life is not okay with that…they are not your people.

Your people will be glad to see that spark starting to light up again.

So, if you have been slowly fading away my friend, this is the time to start saying yes to things that bring you joy and no

to things that don’t.

It’s pretty simple.

The Soul Journey : She 🐛🦋

She does not need anyone to help her transcend her pain. Her pain is hers to heal. She is the only one who can choose when she is ready to travel deep down inside and harness her medicine.

She doesn’t need anyone to tell her that she needs to release her past. Her past is hers to own. Her past is a landscape that is only hers. And only she can decide the meaning she gives to all her life’s experiences.

She doesn’t need anyone to transmit wisdom to her. She is her own guru. Her own sage. Her wisdom has been gathered through the ages and her Soul knows what she needs. She has full access to the fountain of Collective Intelligence where she can quench her thirst of knowledge.

She doesn’t need anyone to tell her who she is. She just has to remember. Commune with her ancestors and ask them where she is coming from. Ask her ancestors about the struggles of her great great grandmothers. Thank them for paving the way to have the opportunity to shine her light. She stands on the shoulders of giants and this truth brings her to the values that guide her life.

She doesn’t need anyone to sort her feelings. She is not mentally ill. She is not a statistic that needs to be labeled and medicated. Instead, she tells the world that she owns her feelings and emotions. They are not to be discarded and rejected. Her feelings are guiding posts that lead her to her truth. To what needs her attention.

She doesn’t need anyone to tell her that her unhappiness and sadness can be fixed with a pill. She rejects the status quo. The mainstream understanding of what it means to be human. A feeling human. Instead, she follows the threads of her story and goes to the source of unease in her life.

She doesn’t allow herself to be defined by what they call “anxiety”. She knows that the main source of her feeling restless is perhaps because she allowed life to take her away from living her truth and being true to her values.

She doesn’t need to follow anyone’s vision. She has been gifted with the ability to dream. Dream big. Or not dream at all, if she doesn’t want to. When she is ready, the Universe will open the gates of desire to share her vision of the world and her Soul will guide her to her mission.

She doesn’t need anyone to plant the seed of creativity. She is her own teacher that just has to touch the seed that was planted in her at birth. All she has to do is allow it to wake up, to sprout, and to grow. She has within the rain and the sunshine the seeds needs to blossom.

She doesn’t need to pray harder. Meditate more. Speak in tongues. Or deprive herself of nourishment. What she needs is to believe that she is enough. She is worthy. She is ready. She is loved.

She doesn’t need to give her power away anymore. What she needs is to stand in her own truth. Discover her own truth. Dig deep. Ask questions and wait for the answers to come from within.

And as she inquires within, she understands that she lives inside her inner world. Yes, she walks among humankind, but in truth, she lives within the landscape of her own feelings and emotions.

She now knows that there is nothing outside of herself that can add anything to who she is. Who she really is, is already there. Who she is becoming is already there. And she is the only one that has full access to her story, her truth, her values, her mission and vision…

Her Holy Calling is waiting patiently for her to be ready… Ready to step in her own power… ready to reframe her wounds…

Ready to give a new meaning to her story of survival… her story of resilience…

Her story of how adversity forged her… her gifts, her talents, her inner treasures, her medicine she is called to offer the world…

Archaeology for the Woman’s Soul

No Waiting Room

NO WAITING ROOM

What if you didn’t wake up tomorrow and your soul is watching down thinking of all the things you didn’t get to do yet because you were too scared, or too shy, or too worried about money. And all the things you told yourself you weren’t good enough for, swam in front of your eyes, fighting for a place in the line, beside the words you didn’t say and the joy you forget to have.

My friend, there is absolutely no room for anything in your day, other than acceptance. You will never have enough money, or time, and you will certainly never have that perfect body the world told you you need to be happy.

And before you say it’s too late to embrace this thing we call life, no it is not. You can do it right where you are. Right this minute. Get outside, breathe, look at the trees, put your bare feet on the grass – hand on your heart to feel that pulse – and that’s it.

You’re living.

Keep that up.

Wait up for the moon sometimes or get up early to see a sunrise, juts because.

Jump in the lake. Run and skip.

The things you need to feel alive are free and all around my friend.

You just have to see them.

Let in opportunity and say yes to the invitations that scare you a little, in a good way.

Say no to some of the things you force yourself to do, knowing they rinse you of your peace.

Life was never supposed to be a waiting room, it was supposed to be a hillside, with paths leading in every direction and mountains as far as the eye can see, hiding adventures and new friends behind them.

Don’t let yourself get to the end of this ride without having stopped to smell those beautiful roses.

That’s the only thing you need to fear in this life.

Everything else is all part of it.

It’s all just a messy, complicated, beautiful and terrifying part of it.

Chin up, throw your arms wide open and let it be so.

Liberating : Caring what you thing of You; not what others think of you

There comes a day, somewhere in the middle of every woman’s life, when Mother Nature herself stands behind us and wraps her arms around our shoulders, whispering

“It’s time.”

“You have taken enough now. It’s time to stop growing up, stop growing older and start growing wiser and wilder.

There are adventures still waiting on you and this time, you will enjoy them with the vision of wisdom and the companionship of hindsight, and you will really let go.

It’s time to stop the madness of comparison and the ridicule of schedule and conformity and start experiencing the joys that a life, free of containment and guilt, can bring.”

She will shake your shoulders gently and remind you that you’ve done your bit. You’ve given too much, cared too much, you’ve suffered too much.

You’ve bought the book, as it were, and worn the t-shirt.

Worse, you’ve worn the chains and carried the weight of a burden far too heavy for your shoulders.

“It’s time” she will say.

“Let it go, really let it go and feel the freedom of the fresh, clean spaces within you. Fill them with discovery, love and laughter. Fill yourself so full you will no longer fear what is ahead and instead you will greet each day with the excitement of a child.”

She will remind you that if you choose to stop caring what other people think of you and instead care what you think of you, you will experience a new era of your life you never dreamed possible.

‘It’s time’ she will say…

“to write the ending, or new beginning, of your own story.”~

Cravings (Clarissa Pinkola Estes)

A Woman may crave to be near water , or be belly down , her face in the earth , smelling the wild smell .

She might have to drive into the wind .

She may have to plant something, pull things out of the ground or put them into the ground .

She may have to knead and bake , rapt in dough up to her elbows .

She may have to trek into the hills leaping from rock to rock trying out her voice against the mountain .

She may need hours of starry nights where the stars are like face powder spilt on a black marble floor .

She may feel she will die if she doesn’t dance naked in a thunderstorm , sit in perfect silence , return home ink -stained , paint-stained , tear-stained , moon -stained …

Ascension

WHEN YOU ARE READY TO MAKE THE LEAP FROM THIS WORLD TO THE NEXT, YOU MAY GO THROUGH A PERIOD OF TIME IN WHICH YOU’LL FEEL A LOT OF EMOTIONS. REPLACE FEAR WITH COURAGE AND WORRIES WITH CURIOSITY AS YOU ARE ABOUT TO EMBARK ON A NEW CHAPTER IN YOUR LIFE!

How To Prepare For Ascension
Ascension means the opportunity to experience the glorious bliss and beauty of the higher levels of consciousness. It is a beautiful but challenging journey.

You are going to have to learn how to prepare for this process. You will have to learn how to step back from daily life and live in the moment.

For those who are new to the ascension process, it is a spiritual transition from being a third-dimensional being to becoming a fifth-dimensional being. It is a complete transformation of reality as you know it. Everything will fall into place perfectly for us when we transform ourselves into our full potential.

Ascension is a process that varies from person to person. Some people have been preparing for the ascension since they were children, while others have just recently initiated the process of preparing themselves for this event. Whatever stage you’re at right now in your preparation process, there are certain things you should be aware of.

The ascension process involves a lot of work, so it’s best to start now by clearing out the clutter in your life so that you can focus on getting ready for ascension. Clearing out the clutter will allow you to focus on becoming more intuitively aware so that you can connect with the power within yourself and with universal energy.

The most important thing to do before the ascension process starts is to let go of the old and embrace the new. Learn to let go of fear, worry, and anxiety. Forgive yourself and others. Release your anger through forgiveness. Let go of patterns of control in your life.

There are no mistakes in life. When we say that we have made a mistake, what we really mean is that we have learned something from it. We can’t keep making the same mistakes over and over again because it will eventually lead us down a path where there is no turning back, no matter how hard we try! So instead of focusing on what went wrong or what went right, why not focus on looking at things from another perspective? From today, try to find the lessons and the blessings in situations you used to call ‘mistakes” before.

Prepare yourself for this shift by learning how to cleanse your aura, clear out negative energies and emotions around you, release old karmic patterns and learn how to reconnect with love and light.

When you are ready to make the leap from this world to the next, you may go through a period of time in which you’ll feel a lot of emotions. You may feel scared, excited, nervous, or even unsure of what is happening to you.

The good news is that these feelings are normal and expected as you are about to embark on a new chapter in your life!

Replace fear with courage and worries with curiosity.

We are in a time of great change. The ascension process is not scary; it is an opportunity for transformation, growth, and healing. It is an opportunity to integrate all aspects of our lives into one harmonious whole.

Be open to the new and expect miracles to happen in your life, even if it seems unlikely at first. Expect miracles to manifest on their own without trying too hard or thinking too much about it when you focus on good vibrations.

This is a time for celebration! Enjoy your friends, family, pets, and other animals who are with you during this period. Remember that we are all connected as one consciousness on Earth at this special time in history when more people than ever before are shifting their consciousness from duality into unity consciousness!

You can’t ascend into heaven on earth if you’re still attached to lower vibrations. You have to be ready for a shift in consciousness by taking action on your own behalf and making changes that allow you to move forward into a higher frequency where you are aligned with your divine purpose and mission in life.

Be conscious of your thoughts, words, and actions. Next, you should try to learn more about yourself and get to know yourself better. Discover your true nature and who you are.

It is important for us to remember that we are spiritual beings having a physical experience on Earth. We have a choice in terms of what we do with our time here on Earth, so we must make wise choices regarding how much time we spend online versus offline or in front of a screen versus in nature.

Develop a connection between your body and mind by practicing meditation or practicing some other form of self-improvement practice (like breathwork or yoga). Connect to Mother Gaia daily! It’s important for us to develop this connection between ourselves so that we can feel balanced mentally, physically, and spiritually as well as connected with each other as well as with nature.

Once this connection has been made, then you will begin to see changes within yourself, such as positive feelings coming into your life, which will lead you toward the way of ascension.

You have the right to choose how you want to spend your time on Earth. Do not let anyone else dictate what your reality is going to be like in the future. We all deserve happiness and fulfillment in our lives! Let us prepare for the ascension so that we may live a life filled with bliss and magnificence!

We love you dearly.
We are here with you.
We are your family of light.
We are the Galactic Federation.

Not that Feminine- Beg to Differ

“It’s just that you’re not that feminine.”

I beg to differ.

I’m feminine like a thunderstorm.

Feminine like the glint of a falcon talon.

Feminine like an ancient redwood.

Feminine like the orange glow of a grizzly bear in the sunset.

Feminine like a wolf on the hunt.

Feminine like decaying bones.

Feminine like the eye of an old whale.

Feminine like a roaring river.

Feminine like a sheer cliff overlooking a forest.

Feminine like a wildfire.

Feminine like a desert wind.

Feminine like a battle cry.

And yes.

Within my stones and bark and fur and fierce slit irises… I am as soft and enveloping as any woman who’s blood ever beat red.

This is the Sovereigness.

I am her.

We are her.

We are an age of woman who has come in, representing the medicine of the Wilds.

We are not built to actualize your sense of masculinity through your traditional idea of femininity.

We are built to bring in the voice of our Mother.

Which is why Earth herself screams in our veins.

So, if what you really mean is,

“Your femininity is overwhelming”,

Then I understand.

It is to me, too.
