January has been a long month...

I don’t think you’re simply tired,

I think you’re regenerating.

Like all of mother nature’s children in winter, your instinct is to curl up, hunker down and reset.

You’re not less.
You’re simply in tune with the sun.

And as the dark days begin to wane, your inner wild fortifies and evolves, bolstered and renewed, cocoon-style.

Ready for the new beginnings, ready for the reinvent.
Ready.
Simply ready.

So, let yourself be led down the rabbit hole, when the weariness washes over and your body begs to rest.

I don’t think you’re simply tired.
I think you’re regenerating.

Don’t wait til I’m gone
And then stand up to speak
About all the things
That you loved about me

Don’t sing all my praises
Through all of your tears
When I am no longer
Beside you to hear

Don’t leave all that love
Like a secret unsaid
But tell me tomorrow
Or right now instead

And I’ll tell you too
Of the things I admire
About who you are
And how much you inspire

I’ll speak from my heart
Whilst you’re still here to know
“You are” not “you were”
Or “it used to be so”

I’ll speak of your light
Whilst you’ll still hear the words
And not leave that love
In the darkness, unheard

So tell me tomorrow
Or right now - don’t wait
Because we don’t know
When it might be too late

Because we don’t know
When our time might be up
And we need to hear - while we are here -
How we’re loved.

The Call of the Wildcat

The wildcat is her guide, her mirror.
She loves cats because they carry a wisdom
That she, too, can embody.
They show her how to live unchained,
How to honor the wild within herself—
To walk through life with ease, grace, and freedom,
Unburdened by demands that do not come from her soul.

In every movement, a cat reveals its brilliance—
Its sharpness, its presence,
Its bright awareness of the world.
There is no excess, no striving, only being:
A quiet mastery of the art of now.

The wildcat knows freedom is not a rebellion,
But a way of living deeply, simply.
It does not long for what it does not have,
But delights in a warm beam of sunlight,
A soft corner to rest in,
And the rhythmic, grounding pulse of its own purr.
In its presence, she sees how to love life as it is,
How to find contentment in simplicity.

And yet, the wildcat embraces its tenderness,
Unashamed of the softness it carries within.
It knows the strength of being gentle,
The quiet dignity of holding the untamed
Without losing its wildness.

🐱Wildcat’s Invication

Wildcat, let me learn from you,
From the fluid grace of your movements,
And how you bow to no one.
Your softness—ah, your softness—such a treasure.

Teach me to guard my spirit as fiercely as you do,
To bare my claws when life demands it,
But to stretch unarmed,
In the sanctuary of sunlight.

Wildcat, show me the beauty of being free:
To walk alone, yet deeply connected.
To love with open hands,
Without chains, without fear.

I will carry your wisdom in my blood,
Untamable and true.
For I, too, am a creature of the wild.
I, too, am the call of the untamed.

Own It~
"Own the fact that you are different
Own that you are a deep feeler and thinker
Own that you're tuned into a different frequency
Own the fact that you sense things others don't
Own the fact that you want to talk about angels,
energy, miracles and spirituality
Own that you're done having meaningless conversations
Own that you're done holding yourself back
Own that you crave freedom to feel the now
It's ok if your family don't get you.
It's ok if your friends don't join you
It's ok if the world judges you
It's ok that you want to dance barefoot upon the earth
and endlessly gaze at the stars
It's ok that you cry over sunsets and chase moonbeams
It's wonderful in fact. It's beautiful
You have come a long way to be who you are
So own it. Own all of it. Love all of you
The world needs you to be exactly as you are
You hold the balance in this crazy world"

🌱♥️I FREE YOU DAUGHTER ♥️🌱

♥️ I free you daughter from being what I wasn’t and from having what I didn’t have. I free you from carrying my frustrations and adjusting to my limitations. I give you the strength I took from my mother and ancestors so that every step you take is originally yours.

🍃 I give you the treasure of knowing us always holding your back, in tribe, in herd, to all the women of your bloodline. Walk free from my fears, my darkness and my experiences.

♥️ May my footprint serve as a guide but never condition you. May the history written with pain in our wombs be released and only part of a narrative of the past.

🍃While an old world that fears free women dies, you and I are creating one that loves and honors us.

♥️Be free, let us be free. We’re together now, all together. Free Herd

🥰

Surround yourself with strong women, women more beautiful than you, smarter than you, and don't envy them, admire them.

Surround yourself with good women who know how to listen, who know how to care, from whom you learn to relate to the world, women who teach you their power.

Surround yourself with women to weave an invisible web, a web for other women, so you don't let them fall, so they feel the collective hug, so they don't feel alone or crazy.

Surround yourself with women who embrace their shadow, who don't apologize for being light, who are aware of their beauty and that they are alive.

Surround yourself with irreverent and brave women, women fighters who open the way and tear down walls, women of reference, women who do not ask for permission, who build their homes with the same hands, with which they cradle and caress.

Surround yourself with women who help you live as you are, who give you confidence and affection, who remind you that they are all one."

Had an epiphany. A lightbulb moment, if you will, the other day listening to this song. Then the universe said while I was driving, 'didn't you want to share those thoughts?!' 😄
