Bad Girl



How many times have you felt like a bad girl, called and judged for being different, thinking differently? This is for you, for me after all these years of self-doubt, and critical thoughts, because of things we did, things that happened to us or had no control of. It took decades of wearing masks and believing what others taught me.



XOXOX ME



The bad girl in me

The one who trusted herself

Who respected herself

Said no when she needed to


Who believed in more

Who found her voice

Who loved herself

Who put herself first

Who took off the masks


Believing in herself

Finding her voice

Judged by others for being different

Naive


Rebel

Rebellious

Thinking different

Thank you Bad Girl


For being here with me

For being strong when I couldn’t be

For standing up for yourself

For forgiving yourself and others

For breaking the rules

For letting go of what no longer served you


Thank you Bad Girl


For being here with me

For being strong when I couldn’t be

For standing up for yourself

For forgiving yourself and others

For breaking the rules

For letting go of what no longer served you


Thank you for being a voice for the voiceless

Thank you for your empowerment when no one else was there

Thank you for showing us how to take off the masks

Thank you for teaching others to trust themselves

Thank you for teaching others it was okay to say NO

Thank you for teaching us to love ourselves

Thank you for teaching us to put ourselves first

Thank you for teaching us to believe in more


You believed in yourself and helped me believe in myself

We are kintsugi strong

We empower others

We have discovered

We have accepted who we are

We have healed our heart, mind and soul

We have gone through a feminine

We have radiantly reinvented ourselves

We have been on a journey of feminine ethereal awakening of self

We put ourselves back together stronger

We are bolder and braver



I look at myself, the 22 year old and see a beautiful, young woman. She was so brave and strong to have gone through the things she did. She made a lot of mistakes, and had a lot of do-overs. She took chances. She believed in herself and was her own best friend, and worst enemy.


Looking though the eyes of my parents, my grandparents I often withdrew and wore those masks. Now I see, I protected myself I was in my chrysalis of self and it is though my feminine ethereal awakening that I went though Discovery-Acceptance-Healing-Transformation-Awakening of self.


Many of you know I have been writing for years and with my blog and I feel that I am ready to write my book, maybe a few book. I'm 65 and ready. It has been a journey of Discovery-Acceptance-Healing-Transformation-Awakening. I have come out on the others side of the chrysalis and love who I am, with all the flaws, and fragmented parts of me. I know I am enough. XOXO ME
