I have been in a season of quiet….
And am being reminded to make sure I love myself in this season too….
Not just when I’m thriving,
But when I am tired.
When you am unsure
Or when I feel a little bit lost.

Self love isn’t about perfection. It’s a lot about presence. About being able to feel myself and then letting where I am, be enough. Letting myself be loved, by me, right where I am.
Especially in the quiet pulses that only I hear from within myself♥️

Where do you go in a season of quiet?

A heart warrior leaves more love wherever they go 💗💗💗💗

“Whenever I leave this world, whether it’s sixty years from now, I wouldn’t want anyone to say I lost some battle. I’ll be a winner that day.” – Andrea Gibson

Andrea Gibson was a winner today. On July 14th, at 4:16AM, Andrea Gibson died in their home surrounded by their wife, Meg, four ex-girlfriends, their mother and father, dozens of friends, and their three beloved dogs.

Poet Laureate of Colorado, world-touring spoken word artist, author of seven books, Calais Maine High School State Basketball Champion, and subject of the award-winning documentary, “Come See Me in the Good Light”, and so much more — Andrea Gibson accomplished much on their 49 years on this planet. Though Andrea desperately wished to have lived a longer life, they could not have possibly lived a fuller one.

Since learning they had cancer in 2021, Andrea has been a champion of finding beauty in unlikely places and gratitude in the hardest hours. Over the last four years, they danced with their diagnosis, and continually aimed their internal compass toward joy. One of the last things Andrea said on this plane was, “I fu***ng loved my life.”

Not long ago, Andrea wrote a poem titled “Love Letter From the Afterlife.” In it, they offered this line: “I am more here than I ever was before. I am more with you than I ever could have imagined.” Today, and all days forward, we hope you feel Andrea’s enormous spirit and immense presence beside you.

Meg and Heather, the authors of this post, have absolutely no idea how to encapsulate the magnitude and magnificence of a life like Andrea Gibson’s, so they intend to keep writing, to keep telling Andrea’s story, to keep Andrea alive in every way they can.

Andrea would want you to know that they got their wish. In the end, their heart was covered in stretch marks.

Freedom isn’t something we are granted, it is something we can cultivate within AND together….

Freedom to FEEL
Freedom to CONSIDER
Freedom to CHOOSE something different
Freedom to LOVE

This was inspired by an instagram post by Tiffany Cruikshank.
What does freedom mean to you right now, in this season of your life?
