I am no longer waiting for a special occasion; I burn the best candles on ordinary days.
I am no longer waiting for the house to be clean; I fill it with people who understand that even dust is Sacred.
I am no longer waiting for everyone to understand me; It’s just not their task
I am no longer waiting for the perfect children; my children have their own names that burn as brightly as any star.
I am no longer waiting for the other shoe to drop; It already did, and I survived.
I am no longer waiting for the time to be right; the time is always now.
I am no longer waiting for the mate who will complete me; I am grateful to be so warmly, tenderly held.
I am no longer waiting for a quiet moment; my heart can be stilled whenever it is called.
I am no longer waiting for the world to be at peace; I unclench my grasp and breathe peace in and out.
I am no longer waiting to do something great; being awake to carry my grain of sand is enough.
I am no longer waiting to be recognized; I know that I dance in a holy circle.
I am no longer waiting for Forgiveness.
I believe, I Believe.
-Mary Anne Perrone

Love this stunning poster paying tribute to nine mighty women role models by artist Karen Hallion! Each woman is featured with one word that embodies one of her central strengths including Ruth Bader Ginsberg (Dissent), Frida Kahlo (Create), Harriet Tubman (Lead) and Malala Yousafzai (Speak).

Amidst all the pain and fear and worry in the world, don’t loose sight of the beautiful in your life. Keep one hand reaching for your freedom, your peace, your wellness... your bliss. For it is only when we empower ourselves that we can truly help others. Look out your window, open your door and dream into all the potential this life still holds. And if those visions seem out of reach, or if you are stuck in the dark, unable to find your way to light... it is time for a gentle shift. Don’t stay shut in with your fears and your pain alone. Maybe a therapist, clergy, a meeting or a coach could help hold safe space as you discover what needs to die or change in order for you to find your way back to you... to your light. Maybe a trusted friend, a sibling, or a group is just the right way to find support. You are not alone, and there is so much beauty in you and the world.
