Power Up!

“That’s the price you pay for waking up in the morning. Everything is in free fall. We’re not wired to cope with that so we’ve all agreed to pretend it is not happening. But it is.” 

The Old Man VI

There’s no way around it.  We can no longer afford to pretend we’re okay. We’re not. Our planet is not. We are plagued by horrors reflected in every aspect of the world around us. We need Peace. We need Healing. We need Love. So, how do we acknowledge Truth and get on with Healing the Self, one another and our shared home in our current age of radical hatred, prejudice, depravity and fascist oppression?

Healing begins the moment you Choose to be your Self. With Power Up!, we aim to help you reduce stress and anxiety about who you have been, accept and appreciate who you are, and Learn to Choose who you become in spite of or because of the horrors imposed upon us. We Can Not Become Them To Survive Them! It doesn’t work. Like our ancestors, we maintain our dignity. We’re in Hell. All the monsters are here. We must keep moving forward. Cultivate Compassion, Gratitude, Forgiveness and Grace as you learn to embrace the Self and All Life with Honor, Respect and Unconditional Love. 

I am under no pressure to perform or pretend to be someone I’m not. 

There are No hidden contracts or expectations to fulfill.

There’s no need to Judge, Compare, Compete, or do anything other than Appreciate, Love and Enjoy Being My Self. 

I chose rebellion, resistance, and freedom from the tyranny, judgment, and homogenized conformity demanded from bio-family and of all females in general long before it was in fashion. Needless to say, I never fit.

Commitment to Personal Freedom and Empowerment was costly. More than once, I was judged, found lacking, labeled, vilified, disavowed and discarded like yesterday’s trash for my defiance. It does not Stop! me from Embracing, Accepting, and Learning To Be, Heal, and Love My Self.

Today I acknowledge and Celebrate the Journey.

Here’s what I’ve Learned; It is better to be alone with someone I Love than to be lonely with anyone else.  Choose Peace. Be Love. SS
