I thought about it, and it turns out I'm not "that bitch." Or any bitch. I Am.

SOUL POETRY: ENERGY RECIPROCITY.☯️ . Over the years I have learned that one ought not to receive whatever is given; one ought to receive what one deserves, and what one thinks of oneself as worthy of deserving. . 🚫✋🏾Stop investing in- and entertaining disbalanced relationships; stop settling; stop compromising; stop undervaluing; stop giving 80 and getting 20; stop giving 60 and getting 40; stop stop stop!✋🏾🚫 . Disclaimer: just make sure that YOU DO GIVE what you think you give and that you are who you think you are.💡

Celebrating the parts of myself that confuse people.

✨From Big Magic📙✨... "My desire to work - my desire to engage with creativity as intimately and as freely as possible - is my strongest personal incentive to fight back against pain, by any means necessary, and to fashion a life for myself that is as sane and healthy and stable as it can possibly be. But that's only because what I have chosen to trust, which is quite simply: love. Love over suffering, always." @elizabeth_gilbert_writer Read the Book Recommendation on the blog!❤️🖋

SOUL POETRY: COMPLEMENTS & COMPLIMENTS

Butch Queen Emergence.

I've changed, a LOT, over the past years. Physically, Mentally, Spiritually. But these images, taken exactly 4 years ago, will be forever cherished.. They remind me of the beginning and continuation of a self-love and self healing journey, as 2015 was the year that I stepped into a new power. I've learned to love myself in ways I could've only imagine 4 years ago. And I'm still learning to love me, because there's much work to do within. It's a continuous thing. I love my complexion. I love my journey. I love the amazing people I've met so far. All the lessons. The souls I've met. It's... amazing all that I've experienced. And I'm immensely grateful for the growth of this lifetime. Images by Jennifer van Toor.

#BookRecommendation ✨📙💛 "Ahhh, it took me waaaayyy too long to read books this year, lest alone write recommendations. This is *only* my second 😞 and last one for this year. It's ok though.. I'll get back to more readings next year. . If you ask me, though, Big Magic is the perfect book to enter a new decade! Here's why: This book gives you your starter pack to more creative living, your permission slip to be creative (if you feel like you need one), access to instant motivation with examples and insights as to how to be braver regarding your work with creativity, and real-life stories that will leave you in awe.[...] . Big Magic is all about creative living and working with creativity. And before you think it, NO, it's not meant merely for writers, painters or "artists" as we know them. We're all creatives. We're all creators. If anything, @elizabeth_gilbert_writer, Liz, explains in the book that, her definition of Creative Living is "living a life that is driven more strongly by curiosity than by fear." And loves, I can't tell you how much I love that definition! Creative Living does not have much to do with our ability to create, but rather, our willingness to pursue our curiosity wherever it might lead us; you know, do things that set our Soul on fire. . Liz Gilbert covers quite a lot around creativity and creative living. I could write extensively about this book, but, to be honest, I wouldn't want to give too much away like the last reviews. To keep it short, I'll give you some bullet points of what you can expect (check it out on the blog!). . [...] This book is a practical guide, a self-help book, and a charming read - all in one! I've been saying this for some time now - we're all artist - and Elizabeth Gilbert puts this beautifully in creative terms. Personally, I loved how intimate the book is. I took many gems from it, and hopefully, you will, too! . Read the complete Book Recommendation on the blog!🖋✨

✨💫E M E R G E N C E✨🌌 . These words came over me a few days ago, and to be honest, I did not know how to present them to the world, as there is not much of a backstory to the poem itself; it’s the product of a lifetime of events, moments, decisions and the totality of many many things together… Somehow, this buildup manifested itself in a powerful flow of words, this poem, perhaps because I am indeed embodying this “emergence” of my deepest wishes more; I am bringing to life parts of me that I have suppressed for a very long time. . I was afraid of opinions, judgment, repercussions and what not. But now, I feel more in power and less afraid. I feel brave and bold. And I feel more like… myself. It’s like, something clicked. And I am allowing this version of me to emerge unapologetically and free. . When I read this poem, I feel this flow of energy, this emergence, subtly moving within. Enjoy EMERGENCE, as you too are emerging into your most glorious, free, and brave self.✨
