Never lose the power of dreaming, of hope and humanity.
🎼: Power of a Dream ~ Celine Dion ~
Deep within each heart
There lies a magic spark
That lights the fire of our imagination
And since the dawn of man
The strength of just "I can"
Has brought together people of all nations
There's nothing ordinary in the living of each day
There's a special part every one of us will play
Feel the flame forever burn
Teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
As the world gives us it's best
To stand apart from all the rest
It is the power of the dream that brings us here
Your mind will take you far
The rest is just your heart
You'll find your fate is all your own creation
And every boy and girl, as they come into this world
They bring the gift of hope and inspiration
*Working Towards a Better World
“Dance. Smile. Giggle. Marvel. TRUST. HOPE. LOVE. WISH. BELIEVE. Most of all, enjoy every moment of the journey, and appreciate where you are at this moment instead of always focusing on how far you have to go.” - Mandy Hale, The Single Woman: Life, Love, and a Dash of Sass
“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.” -Winston S. Churchill
“You can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start, you will.” - Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
“When you are joyful, when you say yes to life and have fun and project positivity all around you, you become a sun in the center of every constellation, and people want to be near you.” -

🎼: Already Enough~ Fearless Soul
✈️ : Your TP Piazza Dell'Artista sim
I was searching, I was looking
For meaning
I was wandering, desperately trying
Only to see
I have nothing missing
Who said, who said
I have to find who I am
Who said, who said
That I am lost to begin with
I am already enough
Everything I need is within me
Each morning when I wake up
I'm grateful for the beauty around me
Life is a gift, I wanna enjoy it
Always proving my worth only destroys it
I am already enough
Let them!! Thereby it lets me be me!
I've made peace with the mirror
It took all of hell just to love myself
Now I'm seeing things clearer
I don't need anyone else
Take it with a pinch of salt, people always come and go
I won't keep my enemies close
More you see, the more you learn, better off for being burnt
Breathe it in, then let it go
Throw your stones until I'm broken
They won't bring me down
Even in my darkest moments
I am happy now
Shoot me with your best shot, hold me in a headlock
Give me all you got, baby, aim for the heart
Throw your stones until I'm broken
They won't bring me down
Look at me now
Look at me now
Look at me now
Look at me now

Day 71/365
I wasn't really sure what to do today for my photo. I went flipping through all my sources for quotes and inspiration and just kept... coming up empty. So instead of trying to be inspired by my day which was fairly calm really, I decided to remind myself of something that is an ongoing battle for me.
I've talked before about the tapes that play in my head... the ones that say I'm not good enough. The ones that say I'm not pretty enough, not thin enough, not talented enough. The tapes that I used to listen to exclusively to the point that I couldn't see anything but proof that they were right.
And I've made a lot of progress with this, I've come a long way towards not just turning off those tapes but rewriting them completely. There are a lot of areas of my life though where these tapes still play, where I am still working on turning off that imaginary person who says that I'm not enough.
This quote is especially appropriate to my journey from start to finish really. Because whether it was my mother's voice in my head... or just... that part of me that was mired in guilt from abuse, there has always been an imaginary person inside, standing between myself and my own heart. I find it so easy to love other people, to care for and about others-- even those I barely know... or may never even have met in person. But that constant barrage of not-enoughness has been a barrier to loving myself for too long. And for so many years it was so loud and so persistent that I saw NO good in myself at all. I saw nothing lovable when I looked in the mirror, saw nothing lovable in myself at all.
Thankfully, with the help of an amazing SuperTherapist, I'm starting to see myself differently, starting to think about myself differently. And yet even now, after so much progress-- I still have these moments when I don't see the amazing woman I am, the amazing woman I'm becoming. I still have moments where all I hear is that invisible person... doubting, fearing, denigrating. And tonight I remind myself again that that person, that voice is not right.
I am remarkable. I am incredibly talented and passionate and yes... even... beautiful.
What I have to do is stop listening to that invisible person and LOVE the real person that I am. Exactly as I am.
..twist in all the wrong directions, seeking a place of rest, of contentedness.
And he'll tell you he cries when you leave, scent upon some ghostly pillow. How making love to men with mars-like spirits breaks the average, decomposes the rational and leaves pages upon pages of unwritten stories with no reader.
[ Car Ride ]
Wooden splinters pierced deep under skin to count all the ways I can't be what others want, and fires set to every start of the place I wish to begin...
But never do.
[ Stop Light ]
Maybe....
Love is for people that ignore all the bullshit, hate, rage, and irrational context forced at one another for the sake of love, in spite of love? Fuck love. Maybe.
Maybe....
[ Coffee Shop ]
A woman walks up to a man in a coffee shop and asks him, "Have you ever heard the story of the lady who could never make love?"
The man will say no and ask why not.
"Well," she says, "her dentata was permanently fixed and programmed to impregnate any male she made love to, given the right sequence of chemical reactions, with a toxic worm that eventually made its home in the hosts brain, eating reason & replacing it with obsession."
The man will say oh and ask if the woman is single or attached. They will make love. He will go crazy. I will have to write another story about my life which makes me want to set myself on fire. And carve out my vagina.
FUCK.

The light here is perfect, isn’t it? A little theatrical, a little dreamy. It suits me, I think! Standing like this, with these gorgeous dogs at my feet, really feels like celebrating something. And what am I celebrating? The joy of simply being…me.
This outfit: Oh, this outfit! It's just such fun. This salmon-pink skirt jacket ensemble dances around my legs and shoulders; layers of flirty fabric with the perfect bounce. The color is so soft, almost a blush on a petal, yet so much more intriguing than a plain pink. And these tights underneath! A little something extra for me. It's a feeling – confident, playful, undeniably feminine.
It wasn’t always like this though, confidently owning every frill and flutter. I remember Mrs. Peterson, my neighbor when I was growing up, noticing I loved her flower garden. She’d say “See how each bloom blooms in its own perfect way?” And she's so right!
I love feeling good in what I wear, not worrying if it’s "right" or “masculine enough”. Really, most people aren’t paying nearly as much attention to me as I think they are. They have their own lives and little dramas of their own! And those who *do* notice? Well, sometimes they're the best supporters you never expected. It is liberating.
So, yes – be yourself, loudly and beautifully. Flower the world!
Make your life an amazing story of love, courage and perseverance. Create a meaningful legacy. ~ www.abundancetapestry.com
