A woman is more
than the beauty she shows
than the clothes she chooses
than the hair she colors
A woman is more
than the roles she holds
than being a dutiful daughter
than being an amazing mom
A woman is more
than the jobs she does
than the accomplished tasks
than the goals achieved
A woman is more
than the words she says
than the feelings she shares
than the thoughts unspoken
A woman is more
than what others believe
than what others decide
than what others describe
A woman is
a shining soul
filled with life and love
faith and hope
dreams and fears
sorrows and glee
A woman is
a joy to her Creator
for everything she is
just as she is
For a woman is
all that she wants to be
❤ Happy International Women’s Day ❤

Sometimes
I get so busy
making sure everyone
has what they need
making sure everything
gets done as it should
making sure everywhere
has been shopped or cleaned
that I forget to
STOP.
And I forget to
BE
making sure
I take care
of everyday me

Thank you, Amazing Creator
for loving me
in a way
that no human could do
For showing me
that I am worthy
of that love
That perfect love.
Yet any and every time
I try to find that perfect love
here on Earth
here in another person
I will be disappointed.
But it’s a reality that
we just can’t love
the way you can
we are flawed
sometimes selfish
often clueless
So I will
stop looking for
perfect love
in people
I will be satisfied
with finding it
only in you
And I will let people
be imperfect in their love
just like me.

I don’t have to be
anything other than me
I don’t have to earn
anyone’s approval
I don’t have to fit
anyone’s expectations
I don’t have to receive
anyone’s validation or praise
I don’t have to mold myself 
into what society
says I should be
I don’t have to get permission
to like what I like
to say what I think
to be happy
with who I am
right now
this very
minute
For I don’t want to waste my life
having never known
who I am
what I’m meant to do
or how I’m meant to live
And so I choose
to see myself gently
to see myself lovingly
through the lens
of the Creator
who made me
exactly how I am
who gave me
every experience in my life
to learn and grow through
who gave me
every talent and gift
to share pure light
with the world
who gave me
every flaw and shadow
to help me to remember
To be kind to myself
To be compassionate
To be filled with grace
And to learn
to love little ol’
lovable me.

Too many things to read
Too many words to absorb
Too many things to write
Too many words to express
Too many things to do
Too many hopes to fulfill
Too many things to say
Too many people to help
Too many things to achieve
Too many resolutions to realize
Too many expectations.
Who puts all this on me?
How did I get to this place?
Who is responsible?
How can it be fixed?
Who must take action?
Oh, Me.
All me.
So in one moment
with one choice
I can hit “Delete”
I can say “No”
I can throw them away
and change all the expectations.

All the shopping
food and gifts
All the wrapping
ribbons and bows
All the baking
flour and sugar
All the decorating
colors and lights
All the cleaning
fresh and fragrant
All of it
fun
until it isn’t.
All of it
because I want to
until it isn’t.
All of it
at once…
until I say
wait.
And I take a deep breath
and I remember why
and I make choices
to do only
what it suits me
to do
Because I just can’t
Because I just won’t
DO or BE
all of it all.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
Christine

When folks aren’t communicating well
Each one talking, no one listening
I can almost always see what’s happening.
Unless, of course, I’m one of the two,
but that’s for another day…
So, I watch them talk
and see both perspectives
The points not being heard
the inferences not being shared
only implied, not received
the intent
vs. the impact
Perception is reality.
But
Just because I can see
what’s going on,
it does not mean
they want my help.
when no one is listening
they certainly don’t want
2 cents from me
And my best intentions
just complicate things further
I must resist helping
FIXING FIXING FIXING
CREATING PEACE
MAKING IT ALL OK
When no one has called in
The Fixer
Because I don’t need to prove
that I am smart
or helpful
or needed
And I will let you both
figure that out too
just between
the two of you

how long will it take
to wipe it from my mind
pretend all is well
and just move on
should i be mad
sad or frustrated?
should i be kind
forgive and forget?
nothing you do
is even about me
even if it impacts me
it’s not about me
and so i must let go
i must move on
but i can’t pretend
and i can’t forget
I don’t want to
because that feels phony
and makes me a little sick inside
how do i move forward
without being fake
how do i move forward
without calling it out
without a scream or a shout
without even a whisper
of how i feel
how do i move forward
without making it about me…
even for a minute?
because if i just let it go
if i don’t say a thing
about how it makes ME feel
would it, could it
just might it happen again?
how do i let go
without being a mess
how do i let go
without spiraling in shame
how do i let go
and still believe in me?
