So grateful
For this moment
This day
And having the ability to wish and dream
estoy listo

beach writing, nags head NC
I walk in the door to my apartment
The quietness engulfs me
It reminds me that I am alone
This reminder of being alone
Is packed full with intense emotion
At times I embrace the silence
It allows me the opportunity to dig deep into my thoughts
Create beautiful things with my hands
And connect with myself
But there are moments when that stillness is deafening
Feelings of isolation surface
A longing for connection swirls inside me
And tears fill my eyes
A constant tug back and forth
Elation and heartache
I cherish the solitude
But souls simply grow better when they are together
Each one reflecting back the others brilliance
Balancing and nudging the other forward
Lifting them up and holding their hand
For awhile I was not ready to embrace love
I needed to venture down my own path
Even though I was unsure of what that was
I stumbled and I fell
But I learned how to pick myself back up
The lessons that came my way were not always easy
But they were powerful
And opened my eyes up to the beauty in telling the truth
I feel confident in myself
Sure of the steps I am taking
And I am ready to not only give love
But to receive it in return

My heart is full
and so filled up with love
I spent four marvelous days in Nags Head NC
Soaking in the magic that happens at
I was seen for who I am by others
And for the very first time truly saw myself
I am a writer, what a glorious thing to realize
Breathtaking
Beautiful
Honest
Open
Loving
Soulfull
Tender
Brave
These are just a few of the words that describe what it is like being surrounded by the most radiant women and engulfed in their love. There is something so powerful about women coming together. Souls supporting one another, truly seeing one another, and reflecting back what we see to each other. Magic. Pure love and magic.
My world is a little bit brighter these days
Beauty surrounds me
And happiness fills my heart
Thank you squamettes
For being brave
Following the bat signal
And traveling to the sea
I cannot imagine my life without you
Sending you my love xoxo
To see clearly

beautiful ring. Nags Head, NC ~ squam by the sea
She had to look through
Someone else's eyes to see clearly
She needed them to reflect
Back what they saw
She did not see it in her
She did not even know it was their
It was the vision of another
That opened her up to herself
Without them looking
She never would have
Saw it
Without their eyes
Hers would still be closed
Precious Moments
/
Last year this time I was on the Oregon Coast
Surrounded by the most amazing women
Each one so talented, so brave,
So willing to open up and share themselves
It was a moment in time that is forever etched in my heart
And since then I have not been the same
We stood along side one another
Held each others hands
Gave each other space to grow
We were present in the moment
And with each other
We learned how precious sisterhood really is
And we felt the power that happens when women come together
We laughed
We cried
We opened each other up
And held the space for one another
Even though a year has flown by
This sisterhood has remained strong
Support and love swirls through this group
My eyes well up with tears
When a candle is lit
A prayer is said
A hug is given
And a cheer is sung from the mountain tops
Even if it is virtual
It is filled with deep meaning
Thank you scarf sisters
For being exactly who you are
For spreading your wings
And soaring
The journey you are on is precious
And I am so lucky to watch it all unfold
