EMPOWERED WOMAN by Sonny Carroll


Found this piece and resonated with it... Not someday. I will start today to become an empowered woman.

“The Empowered Woman, she moves through the world
with a sense of confidence and grace.
Her once reckless spirit now tempered by wisdom.
Quietly, yet firmly, she speaks her truth without doubt or hesitation
and the life she leads is of her own creation.

She now understands what it means to live and let live.
How much to ask for herself and how much to give.
She has a strong, yet generous heart
and the inner beauty she emanates truly sets her apart.
Like the mythical Phoenix,
she has risen from the ashes and soared to a new plane of existence,
unfettered by the things that once that posed such resistance.

Her senses now heightened, she sees everything so clearly.
She hears the wind rustling through the trees;
beckoning her to live the dreams she holds so dearly.
She feels the softness of her hands
and muses at the strength that they possess.
Her needs and desires she has learned to express.
She has tasted the bitter and savored the sweet fruits of life,
overcome adversity and pushed past heartache and strife.

And the one thing she never understood,
she now knows to be true,
it all begins and ends with you”.~Sonny Carroll

Life's therapy

Lyrical dance.
the perfect release for any emotion.
the over excitement.
the pain that can't find the light to get out of all the darkness.
somehow the perfect words find the perfect balance in your toes.
rushing. running. spinning. jumping. falling down so hard like a rag doll.
nothing hurts. nothing is too much.
nothing is weird. nothing is wasted, or over exerted.
Just dancing. to any vibration, song, hum...
 Like a child my body is no longer connected to my wild, over thinking mind. I just do.
 Like a baby, I am molding myself as I make every turn.
 Like an infant, Every dizzy look after one big spin is centered... and there is beauty everywhere.
 Like an embryo, I am floating in the warmest, safest home and I am encircled with love.
This universe, This planet, Gaia- Mother earth and I are one, once again.
moving in every direction possible. hair strung out over my face.
I am human. There is no name. just dance.

side note:

PROCESS OVER PROGRESS

the beginning of a thank you note...

hot damn, this is a good life. read the past 4 ye life years of my life in some journals I found... jotting down those memories and now seeing the growth, adventures, reading about all the incredible people who have been here whether a stranger who helped or a close friend I don't see often... all these perfect moments, good and bad. Feeling so appreciative for EVERY single person who walks in, may walk out, walk around, and who flies to a higher level to succeed with me... EVERY person has impacted this life. DAMN. Thank you! For the families who have taken me in, for the a-street days (you guys gave me reason to live when everything around my world was so broken), for those who helped me find me when I was trapped in my head or too hard on myself, thank you mommies and daddies, thank you to little babies for keeping me on my toes and in this young heart, thank you men, thank you women, thank you to the public transit- for adventures would not exist without you, thank you to every place Ive worked... don't worry I'll find something soon the fits like a glove, thank you to the photographers for helping me track my life, thank you for those who have passed and made sure to put an imprint on every moment here, thank you to all the ex boy-friends- for without you my heart would be weak, naive, Thank you to my Grandma for being with me every single day whether we are a state a way or a continent- since the day I was born, Thank you to my family for every aching, beautiful moment and baring through the challenges, the positives and the growth of these 23years, Thank you to my dad for taking me, breaking me, molding me and giving me the tough love I needed, Thank you to my siblings and all the advice and love, to every person... seriously.... thank you. this list.. is not ...even...

mindcheck

No brick wall for time or space
an endless yearn by human race
to find such knowledge, love and pride
searching for an everlasting kind
a match, a mirror, anything more
someone, please hear me as i scream from my core
never have we ever stepped away from home...
no matter how far we go, we've yet to grow from the comfort zone.
As I ache, dear friend, the understanding for truth
the glass half full when you stay positive, if we all only knew...
to never, ever doubt ourselves for enlightenment is near
consciousness grows inside ourselves and you help make it clear
a steady friendship begins through words we express from our loves, our lives and our biggest fears.
