Be bold,
Take a chance…
Follow you own path!

As a creative soul, my spirit has always dictated that I follow my own path. Sometimes I may stumble, but I know when I step out boldly and take a chance, I am giving myself the power to discover more about myself and life. ~ Namaste… Pamela

When our hearts have been broken, we feel so alone, like the solitary swan pictured below, or worse, like a piece of discarded trash, left by the wayside. It takes time for a broken heart to heal and we each find our through the pain in our own time and space. Grief is a powerful emotion and lost love is a grievous affair.
Like A Piece Of Discarded Trash
When does a heart cease
To be broken,
When does a vow cease
To be significant.
When can you walk away
And, leave the pain behind
Like a piece of discarded trash.
There comes a point,
When enough
Is enough.
It’s time to move on;
But, you feel
You are cheated,
Of the love
You thought that was shared.
And, the emptiness hangs on,
Like a piece of gum,
Stuck upon the bottom of your shoe.
Time often becomes,
Immeasurable;
And, you wish that
It would refrain.
And, so you cling
To what was once
Engaging.
When does a heart cease
To be broken,
When does a vow cease
To be significant.
When can you walk away,
And, leave the pain behind,
Like a piece,
Of discarded trash.

If your heart is broken, have faith… In time you will find the strength to love again.

How easy it is sometimes to let the littlest thing get in the way of our joy, let alone the things we need to accomplish each day. When worries take over in our heads we become slave to those worrisome thoughts and all else becomes clouded with the skies of a brewing storm.
Today, I re-mind myself to release my worries like rain falling on the earth, and accept that I am sometimes powerless in the things I cannot fix. Rather than allow worry to cloud my day, I will take a deep breath and release my worries. I will be in the moment and move forward with the purpose of the day’s tasks. Intent makes manifest… What needs to get done, will.
Namaste… Pamela

Today, as I see the mess of things to get done pile up, I step back and put each task into perspective so that I can get the tasks done one by one. Sometimes there is so much to do that it seems overwhelming, like a swarming flock of birds circling about, and it is easy to get pulled down by worry over the sheer volume of things to do. I start this day with a deep breath and the intent to move forward through my tasks with ease instead of stress. Intent makes manifest. I’ve got this…
Namaste… Pamela

Today I affirm that my life is rich. I am blessed with an abundance of all good things in my life and I am filled with gratitude for all that I have. I seek this day and every day to share my abundance with all who my life touches that I might make a difference for others, as some have made a difference for me. Riches are not monetary, riches are the blessings great and small that lift us up emotionally and bring us joy. Indeed, today and every day, I re-mind myself that my life is rich.
Namaste… Pamela

My journey on the path of feminism, the goddess and women studies started decades ago. Poetry has often been an outlet of expression for me, since I was a child. The following is a piece from my journals expressing my thoughts on the divine feminine and my rights as a woman to be free…
I will not sell my soul
To the Devil
Because,
As a woman
I am not free
To be me;
I will fight for my honor,
The freedom
To be me.
I will not hide who I am,
Change my dress,
Or my ways;
I am woman,
I was born free,
Free
To be me.
I will not watch what I say,
How I speak,
Or to whom;
I will fight for my honor,
The freedom
To be me.
I will not inhibit my sensual self,
Squelch my desires,
Deny my lusts;
I am woman,
I was born free,
Free
To be me.
Hear me now
You who be that devil,
Who wants to take
Hold of me;
I am woman,
I was born free,
Free
To be me.
