The tighter you hold on to what no longer serves you, the more violently it will be ripped away.

ELECTRIC LADY: Getting Way Down
MAR 21-26
And just when you thought Women’s History Month couldn’t get anymore cosmic, a group of local ladies is closing it out with a much-needed jolt of woman power (if you giggled at that pun, donate to our Paypal).
Writer and reporter Sofiya Ballin, with the support of collaborators Lara Witt, Melissa Ly, Alexis Mercado, and Keturah Benson, presents Electric Lady, “a week long series of woman-centered events offering a look internally and externally at womanhood while celebrating its many forms.”
Mindful of the importance of acknowledging intersectionality, promoting self-care, and allowing for community-building and the sharing of art and ideas, these women have designed programs that specifically address topics relevant to local women - including those of us who are queer. The events range from discussion groups, to an all-women art showcase, and a culminating yoga session.
With panelists, artists, and talents, including the likes of Arielle Johnson, Carol Wong, THEAkasha, and DJ HVNLEE, Electric Lady purposefully integrates diverse women into its programming, keeping with its goals to host events “that explore or heal.”
Note: The events of Electric Lady are not exclusively LGBT, but they are intentionally inclusive safe spaces.

So who are you collaborating with this year? I have heard collaboration is the new competition. Collaboration brings added energy and insights maybe to an individual or provide freshness that can’t be achieved individually(that could be argued). Some artist I would like to collaborate with is @falsehood.lives @chrismiss_ @northernbelle813 @radicalkid_ @lemoncreates @thenorkproject @bekhari @_iamhuck_ @theakasha and a few others. Time to create. Time to collaborate. #tartw #theartistrecreatestheworld #happyhourflow #marketing #fashiongram #bloggers #bloggerstyle #HashmeApp #jewelry #bbloggersau #blogger #makeupblogger #collab #tagforlikes #mirinagirls #mua #bloggerfashion via @HashMeApp #artist #fashion #expansion #opportunity #space #creatives #creators (at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtJ_MXRFCTo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1innlxu4vwhq6

As I manifest the life of my dreams, I am hella detailed on the romantic stuff. I'm rockin w/the mentioned stones 2 amplify my personal attraction abilities. Blue represents the throat chakra, allowing tough truths to be more easily articulated. At the end of the day, I want a mushy, make u gag, we do everything 2gether like @realevanross & @ashleesimpsonross typa love💕🤢💕. I allow my spiritual stones 2 soak up my fear, shame & guilt. Then I challenge myself 2 think of good feeling thoughts. Black holes r now makin themselves present and viewable in space. I'm a geek b4 I am anything else. I'll let the public ponder why all of this is happening now. In the meantime, I'm gettin it in w/my herbs. My cells have begun their healing. I'm still eatin pretty terribly. But at least I started cleanin already, right 🤷💕? What stones r u all meditating with these days? #ElectricLady #TwerkNTone #TeamAlchemy #LuvNLite #HealChallenge #themiddlepath #balance #love #newyear #semensorcerer #hedonisticnihilist #thepervertedvirgin #gothicpsychedelic #tribute #thebalance #poem #bramstoker #dracula #salvadordracula #afterlife #worldlylife #ahkirah #dunya #livelikelucifer #anxietyalchemy #prana #divinelaw #energyhealing #theakasha #reiki #pranichealing #lifeforce #gaia #themuslimspray https://www.instagram.com/p/BsfLRHYAxlS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=irjnunhcstiv

Don't 4get 2 rise w/me & get in a 15minute meditation followed by the book reading "The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ". Which totally helps me innerstand life better. Perhaps it'll do the same 4 u 🤷💕? This is a time of either utter darkness or illuminating light. The eclipse from January 5th only amplifies what's already there. Which plays out on the physical plane thru emotions. Now is a gr8 time 2 be transparent. Which can be damn near impossible, when we don't love ourselves. These free Lives can help. Tune in2 this acct @5am (ish) weekdays & give ur mind the chance 2 just, breathe... Follow us on Periscope: @TwerkOutWorkOut We look fwd 2 building w/all of u 💕😇🔆 #ElectricLady #TwerkNTone #TeamAlchemy #LuvNLite #HealChallenge #themiddlepath #balance #love #newyear #semensorcerer #hedonisticnihilist #thepervertedvirgin #gothicpsychedelic #tribute #thebalance #poem #bramstoker #dracula #salvadordracula #afterlife #worldlylife #ahkirah #dunya #livelikelucifer #anxietyalchemy #prana #divinelaw #energyhealing #theakasha #reiki #pranichealing #lifeforce #gaia #themuslimspray https://www.instagram.com/p/BsXYNSugfFW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dzcf0llf11i3
