Look Down





Looking down



She wiggled her toes



This was the moment


she finally realized


it clicked


she was standing on her own two feet


regardless of it all.


and her spirit smiled


as her toes danced.

I Do


Im not ready to get married anytime soon, in fact the "M" word makes me have to hyperventalate into a bag..I dont like the old marriage vows, or the idea of the old fashioned marriage.


I do not want to be..a Wife.
Wife is the cleaner, cooker,dog walker, provider of sex, and caretake of children and appointments...on top of providing an income on her full time job as well.


I want to be..partner..friend..lover..helper. I know in a relationship there are responsibilities, but I do not want that to define my "role". I dont even like the word role.


So I wrote up I do's..the way I would like to see them..one day..when I dont need a paper bag and xanex.


I Do
Promise to let you breathe
to let you make your own way


I Do promise
that if you change
not to be afraid
but to embrace it and recognize it
as you evolving into the person you are meant to become


I Do promise to say I'm so sorry
when I thought I was so right
and to hold your heart close
if I have hurt you


I do promise to love you
to the very best of my ability
when you are unloveable
understanding that I will have my days
of being unloveable too


I do promise when life just gets too hard
and the bills are piled up
and dogs thrown up on the floor

to find a way back
to the belly laughing
corney joke telling
snort when I laugh
person that I am


(while I ask you
to please clean up the throw up
its been a long day)


I do promise
to open up
and speak my mind fairly
and you yours

and not hold back on my journey
or hold you back on yours


but I will always ask
when I reach for your hand along the way
it will always be there waiting for mine.



~~So I noticed after I wrote this..that I was really writing this to my own self...


Try making your own "I do list"..it's very enlightening

Go With The Flow




Something..odd..different is happening…a whole new vibe.


Last year I did a lot of cleansing of relationships, people, and myself. I had to work on it, I had to work on it hard and let go.


This year, I wanted to make an all around healthier me…I wanted to last year, but the energy was not there.
Now..It’s just flowing, I can only assume because what my soul is carrying around is lighter.


The word "No" is fluent in my vocabulary..and it is easy for once.


No, I do not have the finances right now, No I do not need that peice of cake, No you cannot cross this line. No No No. I dont feel an internal guilt struggle. I just dont... wow.


The word "Yes" has found it's place as well.


Yes I will take a break and have a cup of zen tea, Yes I will go to bed early because I am tired, yes I will leave the laundry in the dryer... and again..no guilt..zip..zero..nada..none.


I read a lot before bedtime now, and I bought some new body lotion and a candle that I love..I cleaned out my truck and switched out some cd's in it. I also cleaned my office space..well..just because...thats what I wanted to do...not because I had to do it.


Im not sure if it really is a new vibe, or a brain tumor, because I actually enjoy going to the gym now instead of loathing it... hmm.


There is still alot to work on..I will always have things to work on, I never want to stop growing and evolving into the person that I am meant to be.
Untill then, Im going to go with the new flow..and enjoy it.



Blessings

Note To Self


Why is it that we can so easily forgive others, see their beauty..uplift them, give them praise..but to our own selves..my own ...I sell myself short.
Note To Self
Be kind when it's difficult to see the goodness in you


Be patient with you when your lost in your own soul
this is when you are most creative.

Listen to music
she is your muse

Find your beauty
send tenderness to the place
that shuns your reflection



Let love in
and swell your heart
till she she is abundantly full

Never stop hungering for more
and when you do
dont listen to the whispers of self doubt
You will resent the time lost


Hold onto your passion
and she will find her way to you
Allow yourself to wander in dreams
but find
center
a safe place to dwell


Soothe and nurture your soul
when it is hurt and broken
care for it as you would your childrens

Never waver in your heart or mind
when you know the answer
deep in your gut.


And when you dont know..


Love me


Choose me


Pick me


Remember?

What you feel
What you want
What you say

counts too.

This is a story I read..im so happy I did, I have another new blog to read! *YaY* I love to read, and this story..is really magical to me...almost like something out of the movies. It's kind of my new muse. It is also tied together the last lines on the poem below about the grandmother.

Thanks Dani for the inspiration! You can find her blog here: http://www.sisterspirit3.com/

I Am Her

Late night thoughts..

I am her

Daughter
who would not be born
untill her father entered the room
I hope to make you proud

Sister and friend
tell me all your secrets
and I will hold them as precious treasures
as we dream of who we want to become

Mother
who protects her young
the one who would place herself before the gods
without a blink begging
"Take me, not them"
Her who sees their futures soon to be

Woman
Who fiercly gives all her loyalty
and expects the same in return
vulnerably placing her trust
in the warmth of your skin
hoping you will keep it always

Grandmother
who writes in her journal
to her grandchildren
To the woman she hopes that I am
"Remember who you are"

Time too soon passes
I and I know
that I am her

Dreaming...




What an uber cool way to bring in 2010.
New Years eve night I had the most vivid beautiful dream.

I was in Colorado, visiting my grandmother, then I decide to travel to this familiar place. I had seen it in many dreams before over the years. It was mountain that was flat at the top. I would hike there, then rest.

This time the dream continued on.
I was winding through the mountain roads.

The road I was on was actually cut through the mountain so on my left and right were towers of beautiful rock. It was spring, and life was..just..everywhere.

To my right were these huge white flowers the size of magnolia blossoms..tons of them winding up and down. I stopped and drank from the stream and the water was cool and so pure.

Then I was inside the mountian and there were etchings all allong the wall.
Ancient carvings..beautiful art.
Then I remember standing in front of the most magnificant one.
The etching was over 5 feet tall. It was of just a lions head, mane flowing.
The expression was relaxed, but confident, it's eyes were intuitive and peaceful.

I reached across and touched the stone, I almost did not want to..it was ..like ..holy ground...

I let my hands glide over the creature, the beautiful Lion...

Then I woke up in 2010.

Interesting huh?
