A reminder for days when one feels stuck. You might not be aware of your growth yet, but it is real and happening. Stand tall and proud, you still have flowers to offer and receive.
She is tranquil. She is poised. She is paused. Her spirit is like a bird of prey. Never loses sight of her prize.
She is tranquil. She is poised. She is paused. She is fooling you.
She is faced with multiple possibilities and uncertainties. She feels alone and vulnerable.
But the gentle breeze always calmed her and always provided her with the next step.
Woman and otherness. She is learning to trust and love these untamed parts of herself that she is yet to discover and love. In the meantime, she guards and protects them with tenderness.
Woman and vulnerability. She is learning to trust and lean into the vulnerable parts of her psyche. She is still on her guard and cautiously and carefully reveals them.
She hugs and protects them with tenderness.
She is learning that no one else can live her life but her and that sometimes a well intentioned advice doesn’t necessarily make a good advice for her life. She needs to tune in and honor her intuition.
Amidst the turmoil and uncertainty of life, she is anchored in her center. She knows that as long she stays that way, she is safe to see out the storm.
At the end of each day she sends the universe a gratitude prayer. Life could be easier but it also could be worse. She is grateful for the blessings she has in the present moment.
Madame lives a lavish lifestyle. She is an heiress.
She only gets the best for herself and her pet cat, Mercedes. People are worried for her that she will never find true love because of her wealth. She is been pondering on that statement and realized she could have been born poorer and loveless. Just like those ”people”. ugh!
Dhalia lives in her own world. She is married to a wealthy husband that travels the world and leaves her alone for consecutive periods of time.
She is highly encouraged by her friends to take on a lover since her husband probably does the same when he is away. She remains faithful and pure of heart. She creates her own universe full of whimsy where she can escape reality. She’s recently created a new language that only she and her husband can speak.
Madame is a beautiful wealthy woman. She is well read and well traveled. Her garden features a cascade that rivals the world best botanical gardens. She can not fathom a different lifestyle than what she’s used to. Of course, she can, she was not born into money, but sometimes, she really can’t.
All gold, flowing.
My own brain is to me the most unaccountable of machinery…
When you consider things like the stars, our affairs don’t seem to matter much…
This is the most exciting moment I have ever known. I feel a thousand capacities spring up in me..”
-Virginia Woolf, The Waves
Its the first week of the new year. She is looking back at her last year’s successes and wondering if she can top that. It never seems to end. She is supposed to keep going. There is so much more she has yet to discover, but how is she going to go about that?
These birds always seem to land on her only when she is meditating and they start a singing contest while comfortably nestled on her shoulders.
What in the world? Is this a test?
For the days where a simple and random act turns our confusion upside down and we can glimpse the growth that’s been happening all this time, within us, beneath the surface.
For the days where chaos turns into beauty and gives us hope.
She’s been hesitating for days between two life changing decisions. Today, she was visited by two birds that softly landed on her hands and didn’t move. As she softly nudged them towards flight, she suddenly had her answer.
May the morning sun sing to you: you are worthy of new beginnings.
May the scent that ignited a positive memory remind you that even in the most difficult things, you still managed to keep that beautiful moment with you”
Morgan Harper Nichols
A powerful bond.
A promise from mother nature to her guardian: ”You are safe to bloom.”
A promise from the guardian to mother nature: ”You are safe to bloom.”
Her greatest gift from life
all innocence and mischievous
all giving and demanding
all fierce and delicate
all love and tenderness.
She is trusting the process. She is learning to be in the present and seeing each moment out and each moment in as it presents itself. She is learning to trust the seed to germ for the flowers to bloom. She is at ease with the process.
Tell me everything. Tell me about places you’ve been. Tell me about leaves you’ve kissed. Tell me about storms you’ve braved. Tell me about breezes you’ve befriended. Tell me about songs you’ve sung and songs you’ve yet to sing.
Tell me about wings and winds.
Tell me about yourself. Tell me everything.
Passionate lovers wrapped in moonlight and the enchanting scent of coquelicots.
A secret spot only they know. A love they know is not common. An embrace they wish, would last forever.
She’s been filled with doubts lately about her intelligence. She is realizing that knowledge has to constantly be updated. She is afraid she can longer keep up with the world and wonder if she can hold an intelligent conversation anymore.
However, she promises herself to always try, to always expand her mind and skills and conquer these doubts one lesson at a time.
Becoming the person we feel we are meant to become. It will take a thousand steps and a thousand new ways of being and doing. It really takes a life to become yourself.
