Moments of truth, shall we?
Enjoy.

“…The ‘mush’ that was left of my mind was tuning in to the memories, flashbacks of how my body was vandalized and scarred. Seduction… It’s a force that sometimes you cannot control. It’s like quick sand. At first it feels soft and comforting under your toes, until you slowly begin to melt into the unforgiving hole. You try to desperately hold on to something, ANYTHING, that will keep you afloat… but the “suck” is just too strong; the spiral, too dizzying to see clearly… I had to do something and soon. I was being seduced to abuse. Why?! WHY??!?!?! (as I write this now… I cry… yes, here in 49C, I tear up from the memories struck upon my soul. I have been working HARD to bring back the ‘love’ and the ‘confidence’ I once had with my personal image…
…I was still numb, I was burned badly and scarred from the torment. My soul being was gone. I had to leave everything in order to ‘heal’. I packed up and drove out to California (alone). Depression and isolation followed me around town…I just wanted to be l o v e d . I just wanted the ‘invitation’ to come back to life. I needed someone to save me. I needed a sign, any sign to stick “it” out…
…Now it’s my turn! My turn to LOVE and ADORE myself. I had already had some experience with yoga, but hadn’t really done yoga until I moved to California. I engulfed every vein and breath into the practice. MY once a day soon turned to 7 days a week (even taking on doubles)…
…I didn’t leave California, however, until I attended one more meditation. INTENSE! I went to a ‘White Tantric’. If you’ve ever experienced one of these, you absolutely know what I am talking about. Why did I do this crazy 10 hour meditation? I did it for me. I was on the last straw, I would try anything. So, I did it. Then, I drove for 3 days back to the midwest. I was ready, I thought I was, to make peace with the town, with the memories, with my new life upon me…”
What will happen next? Stay tuned for these blitzes and blurbs!

My stream of thoughts, my inspiration has taken me on to unremarkable tangents…want to see?
So, SPRING HAS SPRUNG!
My love : FLOWERS.
Tulips to be most precise at the moment.
So when I think of tulips, I think of Mother’s Day (DON’T FORGET!)
b u t what else comes to mind? Squirrels kissing…
Shocking lips!
Tulips skirts.
Pure love…
Fiery flesh toned lips… so kissable!
The hues you want to gloss up with while frolicking through the meadows.
Rockstar lovin’
Don’t forget to let your mind wander a bit, you never know what will spurt up next…
Fashionable style takes inspiration, let’s ponder!

So I was originally going to write about something else..you know something a little more colorful, but I spent the majority of my night awake… full of anxiety… I don’t think that the anxiety was anything too much involved with my life, but with those around me.
The news. It seems as though the only thing that is reported as of lately is that of death, destruction or shear madness. Whatever you need to define those terms, please, by all means interpret as you wish.
Me personally, well, I cannot help but stop thinking about those women that have been hidden and tortured from all of humanity for over 10 years!……………………10 YEARS!
My stomach churns and my back aches from the anguish that these women had to endure. I won’t go in to detail about much of the abuse as I am sure you have heard enough from the media, but my question is, WHY?! FOR GODSAKE, WHY?! I am taking this opportunity NOW. To speak out to all of Y O U. Both Male and Female. Let’s respect each other. It sounds so simple, it sounds as though bunny rabbits and squirrels could get along, guess what…they can. You can do it, make it happen. It starts now, It starts with you. All it takes is a smile, a friendly ‘hello’, a hug, a simple word of encouragement.
I will point this out there right now. I am sick and tired of seeing women getting taken advantage of. Sick of it. Women, yes, tend to be more passionate and emotional, I will not doubt this, BUT this does not mean someone can abuse. It almost brings tears to my eyes for these women out there… I have faith in you that you are so strong, that you will fight these wounds and you will prevail.
Women are strong. We are in many cases survivors. We can endure harsh battles, pain, run fortune 500s, give life, multi-task, creative, love… amongst many other qualities. Our diversity will NOT be victimized any longer.
Thank you for taking the time to listen (read) my banter. I would like to challenge you. Start today, right now in fact. Do at least ONE thing to make someone’s day special…
And I promise, tomorrow… I will have something a little more flavorful to write about : )
