Summer Succulence

I used to hate the beach and yet I have lived next to her my entire life.
I hated what I thought was the beach ~ itchy sandy shorelines, red sunburned skin, my body not being thin, I wouldn't fit in, because a two piece didn't fit right on me.
As I grew older I realized how I trivialized all the wrong things that made the beach special.
Now that I am wheelchair free, free to walk the lands of the beach, I appreciate her beauty.
I love her rocky shores, swallowing tides, healing waters, and housing of creatures.
One of my favorite pleasures is to feel the water lap at my feet as I take in the wind + sun in an eternal embrace.
Gratitude for our oceans! Let's keep them clean and swimming with life. 🐬🌞🌈

Today is the day I choose me
Shifting from the male gaze
To female empowerment ❤️‍🔥

I love the old me
Who wanted to gain approval
For my body
And not the intellect of my mind

I thank her for being
Bold, brave, untamed
As she found herself
In a sea of insecurity

I love the new me
Who sings my own song
Not caring if anyone
Is there to applaud

For I am boundless
I am weightless
I am no longer seeking approval

I am the goddess
Here to invoke upheaval
As I show what is
Possible

Who is with Me?

We are in the age of the feminine and the more I sink into my own divinity I find freedom in being the woman I am destined to be. Stripping back the layers of shame and sensuality I find it is easier to breathe. If you are wanting, no, needing a shift - let this be your sign that it is safe to step away from what you were told to believe and start your own journey. 🌹
