Never allow someone else’s idea of who you are to impede your growth,
Sway uninhibited to the rhythm of your heart and rise,
Even wild flowers on the Badlands let their true colors shine,
The most unique version of your self is wild and free.

Imagine the power it must take for a seed to burst from its shell.

Imagine if you too had that type of power. How would you use it?
Now, remember this; you do have that type of power – use it with gratitude and a loving heart.
The Earth sustains us all.
Happy Earth Day!

I do not want to enter there again! If I survive the dream walk, I will emerge weak and vulnerable myself.”
I hear Hummingbird laugh. He is laughing at me! I am angered by this and my belly begins to boil. Annoyed, I reply to Hummingbirds laughter.
“I was ordered not to re-enter the dark realm.” But even as I utter the words, I realize my ego was the voice which did the ordering. I take a deep breath and calmly exhale. Smiling now, I thank Hummingbird. He is very wise. Humbly, I admit I have been allowing my ego to rule my destiny. My instinct now is to return to the awareness of my heart.

For all women; past, present and future: as we grow in wisdom, strength and unity to blossom into the unique wildflowers that we are, let us continue to support and empower others with grace. May our grace transform world chaos into beauty by simply accepting our true unbiased nature.
