Don’t forget to LIVE everyday.

Open your blinds.

Step out the door.

Take a walk.

See something new.

Even if you’re packing up to see a hurricane shelter, hotel room, or friend’s or family’s couch.

Don’t stop living.

Don’t stop trying.

Cause when you do, you’re dying slowly.

Still here.

Still living.

Breath by breath, day by day.

You can too.

Somedays it sucks.

Arguably still better than dead.

Lost everything more than once.

If I can, you can too.

You’ve got this beautiful soul ♥️

Badass poem

Call me by my true names
Seer, Pythia, Oracle,
Witch and Priestess,
Woman even, for that I am
In the amazing lineage of
Both Lilith and Eve

Call me Crow Daughter,
Owl Woman, Queen of
Myself as I lean into the
Fierceness of An’Morrighan,
And wield Boudicca’s sword

Call me Erishkigal and Inanna
That both/and of dark and light
With wisdom of shedding
All that no longer suits or fits
Then Rising in the Shining
Of new and embodied ways

Call me Bridgid as I hold
Wisdom’s flame within
The very being of my heart,
My soul and Her land

Call me Isis Auset as I feel into
The agony of both life and death
Sekhmet even or Bast as my
Feline ways shred the cords
Of patriarchal indoctrination

Call me Wolf as I Howl in
The exuberance of the
Voice of my Being and
That web that is my tribe

Call me by any or all
For I have walked these
Paths, these Leylines
Since the beginning of
Time… that of the land
And that of woman

Call me Nothing and
Call me Everything, for it
Matters not your naming
Of one who is older than
The stars, the planets and
Has travelled beyond the
Boundaries of this time

Call me by my true names
Those which have no words
Only the wind’s breeze
And the waters waves
Those that rise with the sun
And dance in the moonlight

For I am that which came first
I am that which comes last
And I will be the Traveller who
Inhabits it all at the end of time

"Calling yourself a witch at this moment in history is a BIG deal. Our way of being as women has been persecuted for millennia. The word ‘witch’ has been vilified and slung around as an insult. So it’s no wonder that we, as women, hold back our power, hush our voices and stay small because we’ve been told that being powerful is unsafe.

Our work, the work of the witch, is to make it safe to be powerful again.

Being powerful in the face of thousands of years of patriarchal expectations and conditioning means going against so many of the things you’ve been taught, right?

And yet . . . the power to shape events, to change things up and make things happen flows naturally through you. Your biology is honed and optimized to wield that power and use it for good.

It’s your birthright as a woman.

This is witch work.

The thing is, so many of us have grown really good at playing the roles we’ve been offered up as women in the world...

The problem? I don’t know about you, but when I’ve played these roles (and I’ve played many of them in the past), I’ve always found myself feeling a combination of unfulfilled/hungry/displeased/restless.

And if you feel that restlessness too? That’s the unexpressed part of you.

Over time, that part of you starts to scream inside. The scream becomes deafening. All-consuming.

For some it shows up as pain and dis-ease in the body. For others it’ll be depression and/or anxiety.

You may use food/drink/shopping/drugs to numb it.

At first, you’ll probably push it down.

And in pushing down the scream, you’ll go one of two ways. You’ll either become despondent and submissive to life, or you’ll become aggressive and/or hardened – taking on predominantly masculine traits to survive . . .

I totally disconnected from my female body. I lived my life from the neck up, operating and making decisions decisions from my head. I lived life like a dude because that option seemed much easier than having to deal with being a woman who was never seen or heard . . .

Pushing down the scream is what we’re dealing with here . . . it’s a basic reality for so many women in the western world. Recognize it in your body.

Recognize it in your being, because it’s time to stop pushing it down. It’s time to start letting it all be seen and felt. FULLY.

This is witch work.

How do we dare to express our fullness?

We must bring it ALL.
Rage AND laughter.
Beauty AND strength.
Fierceness AND grace.
Vulnerability AND force.
Compassion AND passion."
