Listen. Feel. Breathe.

Switch off from the noise and chatter

And let yourself breathe

Listen to what you’re feeling and thinking

And breathe.

Free yourself from the small talk shredding your spirit

Shrinking your vision and your glow

Raise the bar high, as high as you dare!

Life is meant to be lived fully, with your spirit grounded in the here.

This moment, this second, this thin slice of time

Merging with another, and another, to meet us at our prime

What will you say when asked how you’ve lived

If all the noise and chatter drowned out what you could have achieved?

Bright, Beautiful Star

Your energy and vitality

Turn them up, bring them out

Light your fire and burn crazy bright

Let your flames singe you and dare you and lift you

To do more, more, MORE!

More than you ever imagined or dreamed or hoped for

Glowing with your truth and flowing with your intuition

With your spirit wild and free

And your mind light and open.

Come, come, come into this magical place

Your love and passion and mercy and grace

Are waiting to fill you up, fill you all the way to overflowing

Stretching, leaping, blooming and growing.

Let yourself go; let yourself feel

The power in you that is real

Take your place in the cosmos and rise

You bright, beautiful star with luminous eyes.

Did You Know?

You are exquisite. Precious. A timeless jewel of sparkling wit and elegance.

You are cherished. Loved. Held close to the heart and hugged tight every night.

You are beautiful. From the inside out. Beautiful soul with depth and meaning.

You are worthy. Of all you desire.

You are important. Needed. Wanted.

You are strong enough. Smart enough. Brave enough.

You are here to live life on your own terms, not anyone else’s.

You are here to live, and glow, and smile. :)

Love Letter: SHE

She is Soft. Warm. Compassionate. Soothing.

Her bright eyes sparkle with love and laughter as she speaks and spreads joy around her.

Her vibrant spirit buoys you up on your good days, bad days, and all the other in-between days.

Her enchanting quirks crack you up with great big belly laughs.

Her glowing aura keeps you centred and lights the way home when you are lost.

She is Magnificent. Magnetic. Precious. Beautiful.

She is Mother, Mum, Momma, Mummy.

She is Timeless.

She is.

Dedicated to all the mothers who have captured our hearts. :)

Celebrating Your Essence

Claiming your path.

Because it’s calling, enticing, scintillating.

Delighting in its pull.

Because it’s glowing, burning, lighting you up inside.

Finding your voice.

Because your truth is welling, urging, bursting to be let loose.

Living your passion.

Because anything else is settling for second-best.

Stop waiting.

Stop settling.

Step up, step out, and step into your light.

Bask in it. Shine with it. Dance in the brilliance of your star.

The Promise

There will be times when we can barely stand each other, when we must separate and give room for the bitterness to pass.
I promise to return after those times.

There will be situations that test the strength of our bond, the depth of our intimacy, and the breadth of our love.
I promise to hold you during those times.

There will be conflicts and clashes, spats and fights, brutal battles and bloodshed.
I promise to remain your ally even when we feel like enemies.

There will be challenges that make you doubt your abilities and worth as a human being.
I promise to support you through those challenges.

There will be disappointments and let-downs, grief and pain.
I promise to dry your tears.

I will love you and be by your side as long as I draw breath.
I promise.

Solace

For the weary and care-worn, the lost and forlorn
A new day is coming so your dreams can be born

For those in the dark, shivering with cold
Warmth is coming in light and fire gold

For those in search of hope and meaning
Strength is coming to fuel your winning

For those who need someone to understand
Help is coming to hold your hand.

Run, Lioness

Run, lioness, run and rescue your cub
He is weak and hurt, felled by the club

Search, lioness, search for him now
Sweat hangs heavy on his fur and brow

Look, lioness, look at his skin
The gold is fading from your kin

Weep, lioness, weep for him now
He is lost in time, you cannot save him now.

Come, Little One

Come, little one, come sit at my side
Learn of love and virtue, wisdom and pride

Listen, young one, listen to my words
Of men and kings in battles with swords

Hark, little one, hear what I say
Shun folly ere it leads you astray

Stay, young one, stay here with me
I am old now and wish for company.

Victory

Had I yielded, fallen at your feet
You’d happily have tossed me out in the street
As it is, held strong and retained my pride
It irks you, angers you, petty joy denied

Had I faltered, altered, robbed of my footing
You’d be the first one pointing, circling, hooting
Now you glower and grumble, pout and frown
Irate this warrior isn’t some spectacle or clown

Had I shown fear and followed its lead
You’d have torn me to pieces with unholy speed
Still you poke at me, hoping for holes
My resolve is absolute, you hate that it grows

I stand here whole, unspoiled, triumphant
Untouched by schemes, of failure defiant
You lurk in the dark, refuse to concede
The battle is over; now you must bleed.
