Return to Love, A poem & prayer




 




Swirling in space.Earthbound.
Star struck.
Inspired by desire.
Moved by feelings.
Hurting and learning.
Healing what needs healing.
Connected.
The same.
Yet Divided
By walls that remain
Through decades of confusion
And illusions.
The collective vibration
Must be lifted
To make the walls tremble,
Crack, fall, dissolve
Love is the power that can shift this.
Wild ones,
Brave ones,
Black sheep,
And untamed ones,
Let us howl. Let us roar.
Gather your medicine.
Get ready to soar.
Do what you love.
Do it more.
Stay awake. Stay here.
Live in your center
Love from your heart
Make your mother-loving art.
Together we will make history.
We are the earth, we are the sky,
We are one another.
We come from the same Mother.
Compassion.
God, fill us with compassion.
Remind our souls we are all fighting
We are all trying.
We are all warriors.
Although we need help
Right now.
We are distracted. We have forgotten.
Bring us back to our true nature.
Take us away from the hatred.
We want to be free. We want to be Love.
Remind us that we already are!
We just have to claim it.
We are the bridge to below and above.
Let us all return to free flowing LOVE.

Pregnancy Update: 23 weeks

along for the ride. 🦋
~~~~~~••~~~~~~••~~~~~~
Feels like one of my biggest challenges in this lifetime is to let go of control. Oh and self acceptance. Oh and perfectionism. But hey, these all go hand in hand. Just trying to be a better me, ya know?? Anyway, we all came here to learn- I’ve been in the deep end of deepening my relationship with my body and it has been ... well ... . layers and layers of learning and trusting and loving. And this pregnancy journey feels like icing on the cake!! I’m just going with the flow and enjoying the ride. LOVING the freedom and ease that comes along with trusting that your body knows exactly what to do as long as you nourish and love it! And move. Bodies like to move. 💃🏻 #bodylove#hereiam #pregnancydiary

Girls, play nice.

I apologize but I can’t help to vent a little bit today. It’s so sad how we treat each other sometimes, especially us females. When will being a “mean girl” stop being so cool? Why do girls like sabotaging other girls lives? Why can’t we just play nice? Why can’t we just love each other? Sure,  I sound like such a hippie when I say that; but really though, the world would be so bright and wonderful if people gave a little more love. Even to those who we think don’t deserve it.

Yeah, I know she gossips, but so do you.

Yeah, I know she just likes to compete with you, but she looks up to you. I know it’s annoying, but all you can do is accept it and keep truckin on with your life.

Yeah, I know she never smiles back at you, maybe she is hurting so bad on the inside she can’t possibly think about producing a smile.

Yeah, I know she is just plum evil and seems to hate you for no apparent reason, most likely she is jealous of you. Have you ever thought about be-friending her? It will send her into another universe and probably completely change how she sees you.

Yeah, I know she hasn’t said sorry yet, it’s time to be the bigger person. She will realize later how big of a step you took.

Yeah, I know they make you feel like an outcast, then you probably don’t need to be in that click anyway. Smile and move on to better things (people). Don’t hold any hard feelings against them. It will just make you bitter and that’s not attractive.

Yeah, I know they are only trying to drown you, but girls you just gotta kill em with kindness. Something my sister taught me: smile & love on people. Forgive and forget.

Please play nice this weekend. Hold each other up. Stop tearing each other down. Life is hard enough.

“It’s nice to be important. It’s important to be nice.”

Saturday Cupcakes

Today is the day to laugh until your stomach hurts, drink coffee, think of new ideas,  get lost in a book, turn off the t.v., compliment your mom, take a walk, stare at the clouds, kiss your boyfriend, believe in more, let go, pick wild flowers, plan a road trip, rock out, take Polaroids, dream of trips to Greece, eat fresh fruit, taste wine with your girlfriends, listen to the Beatles, try yoga, practice patience, paint your nails, feel great, finish something unfinished, doodle, buy new shoes, believe you can, make saturday cupcakes, do it all.

True Life: I’m in a long distance relationship Part II

As in any relationship, communication is key to making this thing work. The only difference between a long distance relationship and getting to hold hands whenever you want is the fact that ALL you have is COMMUNICATION. And you have plenty of time to get it right. And getting it right is key to staying in this long distance relationship.

Pros:

You learn a lot about each other….fast.

You don’t ever have to worry about whether or not they really like your personality.

You learn a lot about yourself.

You learn how to fight fair.

  1. You can’t kiss and make up here people so you need to be fair.

You learn how to say sorry. And you learn how to mean it.

You know his tone…..you know it so well that you know when something is wrong before he even calls. (weird, I know)

You can’t leave.

You can’t slam the door.

You have tons to talk about at the end of the day because you get to recap your whole day.

Cons:

You can’t kiss and make up.

You can’t see their face and they can’t see yours.

You feel distant when things become frustrated because you ARE distant.

If your love language is physical touch, you sometimes feel like you aren’t communicating at all.

You can’t hold hands when saying something that is hard to hear….so it’s just hard to hear.

You can’t hug it out.

You can’t leave.

You can’t slam the door.

You have to recap your WHOLE day.

It’s never as funny because “you just had to be there.” (Ouch)

So what do you do when there are more Cons than Pros. You do the only thing that you can…..you talk it out…...again.

Tell me how frustrated you feel right now……yeah, me too. I’ll be honest with you….my love language is physical touch and I’m in love with someone who needs words of affirmation. Let the frustration begin! I think God knew that I would never get this thing right if he was sitting next to me on the couch everyday, so He has given me plenty of time to figure out how to COMMUNICATE my love to him and how to appreciate his words of love in return.  So would I rather hold hands and kiss? Would I rather sit and be quiet at the end of the day when I’m exhausted and just want to watch TV? Would I rather cuddle and fall asleep with the man of my dreams than lay on a phone? Yeah maybe I would….but I would rather get a text or hear “I love you” on the phone ANY DAY as long as it came from him. Mushy? Yes. Frustrating? Yes.  Worth it? ABSOLUTELY!
