From the Ashes

Wholeness within

2023 is coming to an end and it takes me with it.

The “me”, I was so sure of at the beginning of the year.

As I reflect, I see all the ways that keeping small and hidden, supported that woman.

I see everything I tolerated, ultimately benefitted me.

It allowed me to continue the narrative that had kept me safe from childhood.

As 2024 approaches, I choose a new story.

I choose a story of courage, of bravery of deep healing.

I overcome fear to expose myself to the world.

I seek honest, authentic connections.

I seek to be celebrated and honoured.

I have no time for half measures.

I have no time for scraps.

I seek equality, love and deep acceptance.

I choose joy.

I choose full expression.

I choose deep open connection.

I choose gratitude.

I choose honesty.

But above all.

I choose me.

This is how women grow.

With deep love to you reader.

May you always choose yourself first.
