What do you wish to dare?
I wish to dare that I…
I dare to let go of the sad stories I’ve reasoned into a tightly woven shroud around my inner child, because she is me and I not we simply don’t look good in those colors. Not to mention I keep tripping over the hem when I dance. Pfft.
I dare to remember that I am the fearless laughing girl who will take anybody up on any dare anywhere, just because it’s always fun to see what happens next . Especially if there’s a cherry on top.
I dare to remember myself and be true to my gifts. I’ve kissed the friggin’ Blarney Stone! Wearing a miniskirt! Who says writing my novels to done and getting them happily published has to be painfully difficult for me? Double pfft. And ptui.

How do you wish to bloom?
I wish to bloom with immanence along every line of my being – that my heart, mind, body and spirit be woven and supported in tendrils of joy and laughter, adorned with glowing chakra-blossoms of love and creativity, passion and fearlessness, wisdom and gratitude, and fierce grace that brooks no denial of life.
I wish to bloom with wave and wind and sand and sun, dancing in the liminal space and remembering that starlight and fog shelter the moonlit tendrils of my dreams until I manifest them in poem and story.
I wish to bloom with robust health and gentle strength and sweeping possibility for myself and everyone I touch

My thanks to Magpie Girl for today’s *8 Things meme. I don’t think I can keep it to only 8 things that I want to remind myself of, or to offer to others, so here are 8 Things I know about standing in your own power, plus maybe a few extra – a few of them cribbed from / credited to others:
- Everything changes form eventually – the only constant is love, so keep a soft heart.
- Gravity and conventional wisdom both go “that†way, but you don’t always have to follow either one of them.
- Put hope out there for the world to see and taste.
- Pain is merely a message that it’s time to pay attention.
- Trust your instincts and speak your truth – this includes admitting mistakes.
- Dwell in possibility.
- Breathe.
- Play.
- If you’re going through hell, keep going. –Churchill
- Dance, when you’re broken open.
Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance, when you’re perfectly free.
–Rumi
