Full of spoken words that make people turn their head when they listen. Thinking, wondering.
“How does she so, accurately know about life, love, loss”
Full of spoken words that make people rest their head when they listen. Trusting, relaxing.

“I LOVE RAWNESS SO MUCH. FALSELY STARTED SENTENCES, MISSPELLED WORDS, THINGS THAT YOU CANNOT SAY, THAT YOU HAVE NO WORDS FOR. THE WAY A PERSON’S VOICE CRACKS UP WHEN THEY SING. THE WAY YOU SEE WRINKLES BENEATH THE EYES OF SOMEONE OLDER EACH TIME THEY SMILE. IT MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT EVERYTHING DOESN’T HAVE TO BE PERFECT, BUT IT’S FINE. IT IS WHAT MAKES US ALL HUMAN. UNFILTERED. HONEST. IT MAKES ME BELIEVE IN LIFE AGAIN, REMINDING ME THAT THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF BEAUTIFUL THINGS LEFT IN THIS WORLD.”

This is all I can be, this is all I’m supposed to be. Allow my pure truth to give you the same freedom in being exactly who you are. I wish to have the bravery to continue on in this way – movement in honesty and movement in raw expression. When you accept me for all that I am, I accept you in all that you are.

We all know more than we allow ourselves to speak on… This is because we are fearsome of being judged. We are fearsome of showing that we’ve experienced so much. We are set back when others have strong emotions because we are not used to speaking upon them. We hold ourselves back from asking questions because then we become vulnerable. When we are vulnerable we are stepping into the light our comfort is not used to. What if we are rejected? What if the answer is not what we had planned to hear?

AS LONG AS YOU’RE TRUE TO YOURSELF, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS – AS LONG AS YOU’RE TRUE TO YOURSELF, YOU ARE ON THE PATH TO SUCCESS.

I am inspired by many things in this life of mine, but not one thing inspires me more than people. Their craft, the way they talk, how they understand, what they create and how their body moves to what attracts them near. We are delicate pieces of a life so huge, we must take care of each other. It’s so easy to hate when we could have greater growth in love. I’ve witnessed many people feel misunderstood because they don’t have a connection with someone who understands in the way they wish to be understood… Sometimes that is nearly impossible, but just because we don’t understand doesn’t mean that we cannot try.

There’s nothing I trust more than someone who is willing to be themselves regardless of the circumstance. There’s nothing I find more attractive than a genuine, expressive heart. When we allow ourselves to be in our most candid and vulnerable state, we are opening a pathway for others to feel the same. On this path I have met some of the most beautiful souls. My greatest friendships have come with the art of sharing. Find these people. Love these people. Be transparent and watch how many will follow and feel free because of it. Allow your people to come to you – Let them bring you anything under the sun, and when you are gifted with the knowing of what that may be, reciprocate in listening, appreciating and never judging. There is a trust that’s gained when we show we aren’t trying to be perfect, that we are arms wide open, saying “accept me not in the way you want me to be, but in the way I show up…”

I am in awe of you.
