"Being tender and open is beautiful.
As a woman, I feel continually shhh’ed.
Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah.
Don’t let someone steal your tenderness.
Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart.
Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things.
Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep, feel it all – look around you.
All of this is for you.
Take it and have gratitude.
Give it and feel love."

I saw this quote on a friend’s Facebook page a few months ago. I copied it onto a note that sits on my desktop. Every day it to reminds me every that its ok to be me, to feel things the way that I feel them and to embrace those feelings instead of pushing them away and trying to be staunch. My mushy cheesiness isn’t always so bad :) Whoo Girl Power
