Wake up. Your soul, the girl you used to be, the one you always wanted to be…she is talking to you. She has asked quietly, politely knocked, sought you out, but she’s screaming at you now. She’s tired of being confined, restricted, and subtly restrained. She’s there raw and naked staring back at you in the mirror. She’s asking “why”? Why have you ignored her? Why have you worked so hard to keep her in a tight lid box? Why have you put her on the back burner, ignored her uniqueness? She’s here now… So listen.
She wants to write words that are worth reading and listening to, insightful and helpful.
She’s the one that wants to pass her days surrounded by those she loves deeply. She’d rather spend her time in the company of her horse, her dog, her family, and towering mountain peaks.
She wants to stare at full moons and starlit skies.
She climbs mountains the hard way, her way, to see the tops of peaks, to breathe air deeply until it fills her lungs with more than life.
She would rather be dead broke than live in a 9-5 that leaves her empty, and married to a mortgage payment. Her bank account has nothing to do with how rich she feels.
She doesn’t want to work and slave just to live when her body is too old and tired to reap the benefits.
She’s the one that likes good whiskey; the kind that too much is never enough of. She craves the smell of campfire nights and children’s smiles and small houses full of life.
She craves silence and solitude, but company worth keeping.
She’s music all the way down to her toes. She moves with it, lives in it, feels every word of it.
She’s the one that knew she didn’t need a fancy degree to prove her importance, desirability and intelligence to the world.
She knows deep down that her worth isn’t wrapped up in being society’s perfect picture.
She accepts herself as is, fully flawed stitched together with good intentions.
She’s a woman of her word; not judgmental or angry. She lets go of all the ‘right’ reasons, and with it goes the indecision within her.
She doesn’t plan everything; she goes with the flow. She just simply lets go. She goes with her gut.
She trusts, she loves, she believes in miracles and dreams that come true.
She just is…
So, listen to her…she’s all you are and all you have the potential to be.
