Friday Free For All - #IrelandWrapup #New Release #Pillowupdate
Happy Friday, everyone! As the heat continues to bake nice and crisp here in Texas, a friend who lives in Switzerland sent pictures of a new snowfall there. Just goes to show that nothing is the same.
I will share a few more pictures from my Ireland adventure. As I reflect back on them, my heart fills with gratitude for the opportunity. It was truly special to me.
I will start with the day we…

BTO Conference Recap!
Hello Spring!
I got to kick off the Spring season in Maryland. Chesapeake, to be exact.
Months ago I applied to be a presenter/speaker for the Bay to Ocean Conference and was accepted! What did my class cover?
Here’s a lovely restroom selfie of me before attending a class.
As a speaker, I was able to enjoy the conference by attending classes and had a nice college lunch too!
Before speaking,…

Deep women are often misunderstood because they are extraordinary. They are once in a life time kind of people. Deep women are different. And what makes deep women different is who they are; their big hearts, intelligent minds and kind Spirits.
They're depth itself. People aren’t good at understanding what’s different, they’re not great at embracing it and most importantly, they don’t know how to keep it.
Deep women are misunderstood because they are unusual. They are not like most women out there who give a shit about what people think of them.
They are not afraid of speaking their mind; they are strong-headed, bold, brave.
Deep women are comfortable in their skin. They Love who they are and they own it.
They are self-aware of their strengths and weakness so they are always evolving to better versions of who they are. People might think they would change their essence for someone but the truth is that they are open-minded; open to change, compromise, and personal development.
They have a heart of gold. They don’t judge people and accept them for who they really are. They don’t jump into conclusions about people they’ve just met or people in their life. They believe in second and 99 chances. Deep women don’t give-up on people instead they fight for them until the end.
They see the beauty in people. They fall in Love with their flaws. And because they see the best in people, deep women are called naïve. Their eyes see beauty in what is broken, their hands feel tenderness in what’s damaged.
They feel everything. They feel pain and pleasure. They feel happiness and sadness. They feel confident and they feel insecure. They feel calm and anxious. Deep women are empathic because they feel other people’s feelings. People’s energy becomes theirs. People’s problems become of their own. And because deep women are connected to those around them in such a delicate way, they are seen as “sensitive”,” too emotional”, “too much”.
Deep women are passionate and love life. They adore kids. They are crazy about animals, food, travelling, music and the little things. Their passion for love is mistaken for desperation because they are committed. They pour their heart in everything they do. Their eyes are always glowing. Their positive attitude is often taken as being too enthusiastic or just plain fake.
They are thoughtful. They think about the little and the big things. They feed on details. They look for what is below the surface. They search for the magical side to people that they lock away. Deep women remember everything you tell them because they pay attention not because they want to have some sort of leverage on you when the opportunity presents itself.
They notice things about you that you don’t notice about yourself. They know your quirks like no one else does. They know your favorite things in the world by heart. Deep women are told they are complicated because they over-think while in fact they’re just complex.
Deep women are one of the best things that could ever happen to someone because they present to you a different level of life. A deeper one, a more meaningful one.
They help you fall back in love with who you are and reconnect to the world as a whole. They show you what really matters in life and why it does.
We need more deep women in this world who make life more than a journey; a lifetime dream worth fighting for. Deep women should be celebrated. Their depth should be praised and recognized... ✨💜🌹✨

Night sweats and the day after
Bodies worn and minds regret
I hate that it's the cheapest way -
Said before, or during pillow talks,
That the night has veiled but then
Morning comes and we evaluate
If words spoken, promises made
Under the redness of passions hot
Inch by inch, touch after touch -
And then words are spoken, at times
Sometimes swears and curses, and
Then most times, surety in declaration,
It's three so very overused words
In most cases, in most releases -
Uttered, yelled, screamed, spoken
And yet they aren't what they're
Supposed to mean anymore;
Night sweats but then comes the
Revelation, or the realisation that
It was either just a momentary distraction
Or a building of an addiction to fill
The need to feel, something, anything -
I hate that a spark is all that sets
All that makes me want to say them -
I was young and surer than sure
But I was not without realisations yet,
Those three abused words spoken that's
Supposed to convey something deeper
Maybe I'm easy, or maybe I take it
As I give and take it - maybe a
Sliver of a connection's all I need
And I'm suddenly all in - but that's
Exactly what I had tried now to learn
To restrain and to make deeper, less
And less and somehow more and more
Maybe "I" and "Love" and "You" are
My most reserved words now, but
They somehow mean something -
Something at last, something true;
Something that lasts, close to law;
I hate that touch is the cheapest way
And it's such a drug to be intimate but
Then I reserve that too now, just as much
As I say those three words that are "vow"
And I want to mean something more
To someone, indispensable to someone -
Irreplaceable to someone, more to my self too.
- in what is in words do so I really mean , now
