Imbolc.

I can't believe it has taken me almost 30 years to realize that not everyone always deserves the benefit of the doubt and that some people, whether it is nature or nurtured are just not that awesome... and furthermore I can choose to not have them in my life and in my heart. I will always always always be a compassionate and loving human being but this whole "having healthy boundaries" thing is a wonderful concept.

For possibly the first time in my life...

...I feel like I actually believe in God and feel that presence....

Salty Prayers.

Dear Ocean,
I really love and respect you.
Please don't kill me.
Love,
Angelina

Sometimes I feel as if I live a hundred lives in a single minute.

Reasons I Love My Belly (and have abolished body hatred):

It's part of me. It's soft. It's a great prop for an iPod or a book. It makes a good drum. My cat loves it. Children think it's funny. It's warm. It has been through a lot with me. It's a great barometer for my emotional and physical health. It makes me look and feel like a woman. It is a waste of energy to not lovingly embrace any part of myself.

The Ex-files.

It is a truly wonderful and amazing thing when you realize you are truly friends with your ex.
