A Slow Fade

 

TO THE WOMAN WHO IS SLOWLY FADING AWAY...

To the woman who has lost her spark.

To the woman whose get up and go, has well and truly gone.

This is for you.

This is to remind you, that you don’t have to be everything to everyone, every day.

You didn’t sign up for that.

Remember when you used to laugh? Sing? 

Throw caution to the wind?

Remember when you used to forgive yourself more quickly for not always being perfect.

You can get that back again.

You really can.

And that doesn’t have to mean letting people down or walking away.

It just means being kinder to you, feeling brave enough to say no sometimes.

Being brave enough to stop sometimes.

And rest.

It starts the moment you realise that you’re not quite who you used to be. 

Some of that is good, some of that is not.

There are parts of you that need to be brought back.

And if anyone in your life is not okay with that… they are not your people. Your people will be glad to see that spark starting to light up again.

So, if you have been slowly fading away my friend, this is the time to start saying yes to things that bring you joy and no to things that don’t.

It’s really pretty simple.

Weapons of Betrayal

 

there's a hurt

that nothing in life

can prepare you for

until you've experienced it

it's the pain

caused by betrayal

caused by the one person

you vowed forever with

it happens at the moment

when they pick up all your weapons

and use them against you

that kind of hurt

makes it hard

for you to ever open up

and trust anyone again

but you have to

if you want real love

at least now you'll recognize

all the wrong ones

when they cross your path

because now you know

all the warning signs

to look out for

and you'll keep moving on

Rising Goddess

 

i'm alone

but strong enough

to realize i don't need him

brave enough

to admit

i should of walked away

a long time ago

the heart hurts

from realizing the truth

that he never saw my value

and appreciated me

for the woman i am

but i do

i see the rising goddess

behind my eyes

she is all powerful

she is my becoming

Life As A Twin Flame: Blue Sapphire Orchids

 

Posted August 10, 2017

From Journal Entry: July 29, 2017

I was at Safeway with a client. As we walked past the flowers, I saw the most beautiful orchids. I looked at the tag for the description and it said, Blue Sapphire. It instantly made me think of you and brought a smile to my face. Later that day, I started watching a new Netflix series, Longmire. The intro song was Transcendental Blues by Steve Earle. I got goose bumps. I instantly knew the sychronicities that day were no coincidence. 

So many thoughts of you were playing through my head during that difficult period in my life.

So many wounds I was stitching up and still am.

At times my thoughts of you felt so loud, I was sure you'd hear them and respond.

You must of heard them because the Universe sent me your message!

I've always held my own hand all through life supporting my heartaches.

I swear there have been times I felt your invisible hands touching mine.

The memory of you that summer day, blaring your loud music on your speakers of Steve Earle came flooding back. 

I can't tell you how many times I've played his songs, read his lyrics, and memorized them just so I could feel closer to you.

When I'm feeling sad, I will direct my thoughts to you.

It's the one thing that always works to calm my heart and mind.

The memories of you serve a purpose.. they stabilize me on my off days.

The sychronicities remind me that we are in alignment.. that you're in my heart space where I can always find you.

As for the blue sapphires, I choose the name Sapphire in my writings because of it's historical relevance to royalty (heaven's stone) and religious significance of nobility, truth, sincerity, and faithfulness.

I know you read my words.

Spirit has confirmed this in my soul.

I hope my writing has inspired you to live your truth and seek balance in your own life. #HighwayBlues

Own It!

 

Own the fact that you are different.

Own that you are a deep feeler and thinker.

Own the fact that you are tuned into a different frequency.

Own and 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 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.

The Broken Power Couple

 

There are good men out there that are broken too.

They are working on themselves instead of getting caught up in destructive patterns of self hate.

They know drinking leads to cheating.. that cheating leads to lying.. that lying ends in divorce.

They are intentionally loving themselves back to whole... healing childhood wounds.

They are choosing to live more consciously.. more aware of the impact their words and actions have on others.

They are not looking for the perfect woman.

They know she doesn't really exist.

They've outgrown the fairytales.

They are looking for that woman who wears brokenness like a crown because she's a queen that's mastered herself.

And he's a king that doesn't mask his wounds.

He displays them with grace.

When these two meet and form a partnership they are a strong, fierce loving couple capable of enduring anything together.. capable of loving each other back to whole.
