I can never be more intimate with another than I have given myself permission to be with myself. In that, I must be in willing to be with my own disagreements inside myself to the point where I integrate the double binds and anchors and lies. I must choose to remain comfortable in my discomfort of not-knowing and uncertainty yet give myself permission to BE in all that IS. I must create enough space inside myself to hold all the paradoxical truths as equally real in order to integrate them. I must be willing to take sacred responsibility, inside myself, about my contribution to the external reality I am living.

This is a conversation about intimacy with ourSelves.It is a conversation about how to become so fine tuned to our own internal cues that nothing else matters.It is a conversation about paying attention to the cues as they move, value and judgement free.It is a conversation about letting go of the stories, socializations and strategies that keep us confined to a boxed-in version of who a "good woman" should be.It is a conversation about noticing and claiming the penetration of patriarchal mindsets in every nook and cranny of our existence. It is about beginning to wake up, and pay attention, differently.  

As a woman connected to my sense of Self, knowing the infinite power of what I AM, my creations are deeply intimate. They are created and birthed out of love and thus they are are deeply meaningful and personal. They are connected to the Source that I AM, and they are fully my personal responsibility. To me, that responsibility over my creations is sacred. I only create from my Soul, and those creations are intended to spark the sacred.

The creation of intimate relationships requires revelation of Self through deep vulnerability. Being vulnerable is a conscious choice. And we cannot be more intimate with another than we are willing to be with ourselves. 

What I discovered about my body's desires of me.

I know I can find sanctuary, because sanctuary is internal.

Bearing witness to dying: The most powerful invitation to live, Fully Alive, now.
