Here goes...

February 09, 2014

So this is my first official blog. Initially just typing that sentence I was beginning to feel some overwhelming pressure to make sure that I said the "right thing" (whatever the hell that is), so that I could ensure that you'd come back weekly and choose to read more of what I'll have to say. Instead what I will do is start with a few commitments that I'm POSITIVE that I can keep! I can promise you that this will stay a safe space. A space where I will be unapologetic about being authentically who I am and a space that will welcome and encourage you to do the same. I can commit to complete transparency; this may not always be comfortable for me to say or for you to read at times but together we'll keep moving through the fog, the pain, the confusion, and all the questions and we'll be gentle with ourselves EVERY STEP of the way.  

I can commit to moving as fast as the slowest part of me needs to move...now, with that being said I'd like to post weekly but I will allow fluidity and ease to be my guide.

Oh! Disclaimer: I am an educator; however, this is a space that I am choosing to speak freely from my heart and that may not always be grammatically correct. If you know me then you know that I can be extremely anal about those types of things BUT I'm giving myself permission to not make it my focus. If you don't know me then you'll have to trust that I am an intelligent woman that can conjugate verbs correctly, knows not to end sentences with prepositions, knows the differences between to, too, two, weather, whether, which, there, they're and their, affect and effect and hell, I even cringe when I hear people say irregardless and unquote (whew...that was tough), BUT If you're reading posts and find some errors, hopefully you'll get over it and keep it moving too; this is not an educational blog! All are welcome here, please feel free to comment any way you like...respectfully of course.

And lastly, I can commit to let love and light lead. I have tough days. I am constantly challenging myself and right when I think I've figured out something about who I am, I challenge that belief and idea too. No matter what, I always choose love and light. I don't have all the answers. What I do know is that as I rest comfortably in my 30’s I've learned some pretty amazing things along the way and I'd love to share them with you. I'm grateful for my SiStar circle and I know the importance of women digging deep and holding on to who we are. I know the importance of holding on to each other, of singing our songs and having that power-FULL feminine energy close by that keeps us accountable and reminds us of who we are when we have forgotten.

So I say, WELCOME!! Let's get ready to embark on a journey, to dig deep, rebuilding, healing, nurturing, exploring, discovering, remembering, honoring, trusting, releasing and forgiving.

Love and Light,

Jé
