Being true to who you are… There’s nothing quite like it when you are fully you. Uncensored. How that feels in your body and soul..!
Whether you like her or agree with her or not, “Her genius is that her political commitments, her public persona, and her playing style are one and the same. In every realm, she is fearlessly open, outrageously joyous, and unabashedly true to herself.”
I repeat:
“In every realm, she is fearlessly open, outrageously joyous, and unabashedly true to herself.” More of that!
“When she talks about soccer (football), she incessantly returns to the phrase self-expression. What she means is that she… thinks about her performance on the pitch as an outlet for her creativity. While her results bespeak ruthless efficacy (three goals and two assists thus far in the World Cup), she aspires to something higher…
In pursuit of self-expression, she permits herself moments of audacity—where she shoots from a peripheral locale or attempts to impose an implausible arc on a pass. If she self-censored her play, she would never take the risks that characterize her game, all those feints and jukes. To describe her style as exuberant might seem arbitrary, except for the fact that it’s so evidently part of her presence, especially her goal celebrations. Earlier in the tournament, one of those celebrations became a source of controversy…When certain gentleman pundits absurdly denounced her behavior as unsportsmanlike, Rapinoe unapologetically described the moment as a ‘explosion of joy…’
What makes Rapinoe such a powerful advocate is that she is devoid of calculation…(her football skills and comments are) cleverly improvised and brimming with heart.”
Here’s to more of that!
When was the last time you were so FULLY COMPLETELY YOU? You beyond borders? How did it feel and how were you being/what were you doing?

You are loved.
It’s time to fully know and embody this.
Walk as love.
Talk as love.
Breathe as love.
Be love.
Not because you desire love, but because you are the Power of Love. (It is the same one you crave.)
There is no power quite like it.
You each bring your own flair to it.
Breathe it out into the world as you dance your Love Song.
You will feel what it is like to be deeply and expansively in love-with everything and everyone, even those you had not been able to love before.
You now love the unique expression of who they are and feel such love for yourself as they mirror the beauty of you.
I offer you the Love that YOU are. It’s already within you;-) I reflect it back to you as you enjoy my beauty as Mother Nature. Thank you for your Love.
Where do I end and you begin? What if there is no ending or beginning?
When we dismantle our walls and stay open in vulnerability, we are one in the same in the fog, which is more like a nectar of love, embracing all in its mi(d)st.
I am forever changed. In each moment.
I feel like a pool of water as my edges simultaneously dissolve and expand into one oasis (which includes YOU). The feeling is hard to put into words. Such softness and strength floating in a void that wants for nothing. Such depths of fullness in expansive emptiness.
