Why we MUST keep writing and searching for the right words (despite this chaos). Plus: my waitlist is open! How to work with me 1:1 in FORTRESS.
"More and more I have come to admire resilience.
Not the simple resistance of a pillow, whose foam
returns over and over to the same shape, but the sinuous
tenacity of a tree: finding the light newly blocked on one side,
it turns in another. A blind intelligence, true.
But out of such persistence arose turtles, rivers,
mitochondria, figs – all this resinous, unretractable earth."
A poem by Jane Hirshfield
I love this poem :) Thank you for sharing it!
I always go back to a phrase from Brene’ Brown. “Don’t shrink. Don’t puff up. Stand your sacred ground.” It soothes me, reminds me that I am enough and that my words/thoughts matter.
I love this. Thank you for sharing, I'm writing it on a Post-it. :)
My son and I are getting tattoos - this phrase will be mine:)
"Every time you call me crazy
I get more crazy
What about that?
And when you say I seem angry
I get more angry
And there's nothin' like a mad woman
What a shame she went mad
No one likes a mad woman
You made her like that
And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out
And you find something to wrap your noose around
And there's nothin' like a mad woman"
Mad Woman

YES! Such a good one...
