"To become a goddess.
It doesn't just happen in the sweet, easy moments that smell like honeysuckle.
It happens in the sweat, the mud, the grief, the darkness, the gut-wrenching vulnerability and the almost giving up.
It happens in the tears and fears and the mistakes.
To become a goddess?
It takes all the courage we've got.
It happens in the standing up, the speaking up, the not taking sh*t, and the absurd beauty of learning how to take care of our own hearts.
It happens in asking for what we want and knowing, unquestionably, what we deserve.
It happens in feeling our feelings, yes, all of them. No exceptions.
To become a goddess?
It's not pretty, is messy as f*ck. And there is no precious how-to, our soul holds the blueprint, our hearts have the map.
Then in the midst of darkness, we open to light. We soften.
We remember the pulse of who we are.
We see that the pain was medicine; we see that We are medicine.
This is our courage; it is our softness and our strength.
For we are here to serve. To help. To heal.
But all of that beauty has to come from the thing we always circle back to -- to love ourselves.
To actually do it. To love our darkness. To love our curvaceous thighs, our complexity, our sadness, and the ever-evolving poetry of who we are.
Above all else -- to be a goddess
Is to be gentle with ourselves.
And do the scariest thing in the world:
To be ourselves.
Waking up each morning knowing that it is enough.
It was always enough.
It burns,
hot and wild, forever."
