Approval...

I learned a long time that if you don’t fit into what people expect you to be, they don’t usually like you...
and that’s fine by me.

I’m not looking for approval or acceptance of the person that I am-
I love the person that I’ve worked hard to become..every scar, scratch and flaw I have is original and earned- they all tell my story.

That’s the thing:
I’m not asking anyone to understand me, because there’s days that I don’t even understand myself.
So, when they say I’ve changed or there’s something different about me..that’s not true at all.

I just decided to stop hiding all the things I knew everyone wouldn’t like, understand or approve of.
It took me a lot of soul searching and mustering up of my courage, but I couldn’t keep living under a pretense of what I wasn’t anymore.

I’m going to shine with all of my true colors and people will still decide what to make of me, but I don’t care what anyone thinks of me, now or ever.

It’s better to die an original than live as a fake.
So, world, here I am in all my glory, weirdness and passionate wildness. Don’t underestimate my fierce strength and don’t expect me to play nice if you don’t do the same.
I give what I get and I always give everything and everyone my all.
I don’t love small and I don’t do anything halfway..but you’ll always know where you stand with me.

Maybe I won’t have a lot of friends, but I’m okay with that..the people that get me will always be close to my heart and that’s what matters most.

Loving and living with authenticity rather than pretending with fake adoration.

So, as everyone says I’ve changed, I’m different or they don’t understand what happened to me..

They never really understood me to begin with, by my choice.
This is my time to shine and I’m reaching for the stars..
Rise or fall, succeed or fail, at least I’ll always do it my way.

Here’s to the wild ones. Here’s to you...

Here’s to the fallen, the broken and the shattered.  To the warriors who know that to be cracked is to let the light in deeper.  Who know that the best fruit is on the very tip of the branch and the brightest jewels are hidden within the roughest of surfaces. Here’s to the ones intoxicated by the burning of the winds of change in their lungs and who live in the lands that others fear to tread. Here’s to the ones who raise their voices to the heavens even though they don’t always know the words. Here’s to the rare beings who walk the road less travelled, taking the adventure that rises on this path with purpose and passion. Here’s to the rebels, the heartsick originals, and the bittersweet loneliness that fuels their spirit.  To the ones who won’t conform, back down or step aside.  To the ones who were not born to fit in but to gloriously stand out.  To those who are here to be midwives of the genuine. Here’s to the awakened ones whose purpose is to f...

Harnessing the Power f words...

Have u ever noticed that during those times you were convinced something would go wrong, it usually did? “I’m going to mess this speech up; they’re not going to like me; I am not good enough.” On the other hand, in those times when you were convinced you couldn’t fail, things tended to go smoothly and successfully. “I can’t lose; I just know there is a connection; I have what it takes.” While we all have varying degrees of psychic knowing, these self-fulfilling prophecies have more to do with mindset than intuitive premonitions. ​ Negative self-talk comes in many forms. It may sound factual, “I won’t get the raise,” prudent, “If I try, I’ll fail,” or like a realistic observation, “I am all alone.” Negative self-talk hinders our healing, growth, evolution, and ascension, creating adverse outcomes for ourselves and our lives.   We all have an occasional dark cloud floating across our clear mental skies. However, it can’t rain every day! The more negative thoughts we have, the more ne...
