I'm busy; but not in the way most people accept. I'm busy calming my fear and finding my courage. I'm busy listening to my kids. I'm busy getting in touch with what is real. I'm busy growing things and connecting with the natural world. I'm busy questioning my answers. I'm busy being present in my life.
You can search the whole tenfold universe and not find a single being more worthy of love and compassion than the one seated here—yourself.
I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which came to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which came to me as blossom, goes on as fruit.
What's it like to be a woman? A little bird whispered in my ear. Is it just like being human? Oh it is so much more, my dear. We are the holders, we are the keepers, Of the secrets and the truth. We are the safe place in a storm, The creator of all youth. We are the place where life is softest, We are the colour in the story. We are the wisdom and the instinct, Mother Nature in all her glory. We are the taker of all worry, We keep it deep within our hearts So that others may unburden, So that great new lives may start. We are the makers of the home, Not just the walls but of the spirit. Bringing everyone together, Letting love and laughter fill it. We are sisters, mothers, wives, So many things in every day. We are the start of every life, We are the reason, we are the way. We are fueled by intuition, Call it magic, if you like We are women, we are so much more, Than any words that I could write.
Do not doubt your own basic goodness. In spite of all confusion and fear, you are born with a heart that knows what is just, loving, and beautiful.
We each need to make our lion's roar - to persevere with unshakable courage when faced with all manner of doubts and sorrows and fears - to declare our right to awaken.
A Woman in harmony with her spirit is like a river flowing. She goes where she will without pretense and arrives at her destination prepared to be herself and only herself
We all move forward when we recognize how resilient and striking the women around us are.
Our strengths are often tied to weaknesses, so someone with a lot of potential has to be aware of how and where their strengths turn into liabilities.
