Dancing in Her Own Full Moonlight

Dancing in her own Full Moonlight Invitation to Love “Let the light of love you are express herself fully.” Janelle Fletcher Soul sister, my soul yearns for you to find a different way than the self-sacrificial path you are on. My soul cries for you to learn that is it OK to be you in your fullness, not just in the “smile on your face” moments when you feel like you have to be all to everyone and everything but yourself. It is time darling to feel the warmth and love that you shower upon everyone, finally on YOU by learning to receive LOVE and accept the invitation to finally have SELF-LOVE and SELF-CARE as your soul reason for getting up in the morning. Gorgeous, can’t you hear the soft whisperings or the loud bangs at your door? • Your body is crying out for you to be kinder to her, to honour her and to love her. • Your mind is begging you for a retreat where you think of no-one and nothing else, and which allows the whispers of your soul to be heard above your mind chatter. • Your spirit wants you to finally feel that you are enough and you are not alone. Connecting to your feminine spirit will make you feel alive again. • Your inner well is crying, “I’m dry and depleted and need refreshing”. • The tough time, change or transition you are experiencing right now is your wake-up call to finally get you out of your cage and fly again! But truth is this. • We women are typically over-doers, over-givers and hold everything and everyone together while we are often crumbling apart. • We are often tamed, responsible and serious when all we want to do is play, be pleasured and live a more wildly exciting life. • We are often at war with our niggling self-doubt and lack of time and energy while trying to get ahead in life and live our purpose. • We want to love our changing body but continue to criticise, compare or chastise it. • We keep our emotions and grief under wraps and keep ploughing through the best we can. • We are desperate for love but throw away intimacy by being too busy, distant or distracted. • And we remain unhealed, silenced and our soul is dying knowing there is more to life than constantly doing and giving unto others. Does this feel like you? Gorgeous, it is NOW time • to give to you and put yourself up the priority list. • to be more real and raw. • to love your body and yourself. • to feel energised – physically, sexually, soulfully and creatively. • to enjoy more pleasure. • to heal your past. • to be unsilenced, speak your truth and be heard. • to honour your soul and beautiful feminine spirit. • to have self-love and self-care as your natural way of being. • to be fully woman in all of your glorious amazingness and messiness. It’s time dear one for YOU – your ever-beautiful, ever-playful and ever-luscious self to show her face, to dance in her body and to feel free in her spirit. It is my hope that my unedited poetry rifted each morning over the phases of the moon from my heart to yours, resonates, rejuvenates and reminds you of your deeper, richer and amazing self. It is an invitation for YOU to love yourself in your amazingness and messiness - in your highest of moments and darkest of days, your confident highs and self-doubting lows, your dreams and your unfulfilled goals and in your feeling beautiful and your less than self-loving moments. It is also an invitation for you to be still, hear your own whispers, shouts and blood-curdling screams and to creatively express them in the way that is unique to you. It is an opportunity for you to also find the deep connection within, dance to your own rhythm again, ignite your passion and joie de vivre and find YOU again amidst the hustle and bustle of a busy life and your constant giving to others.   Let it Go What do I let go of In my womanly generational umbilical cord That continues to bind me and entangle me in Busyness, responsibility and self-sacrifice? What is it within my veins that calls me to action Propels me into doing And keeps my well of energy depleted? Women of my line I let go today, not of you But of the lineage of that which keeps us slaves to others Sacrificial lambs And self-care depleted Compassion for others flows In fact, throbs through our arteries As a lineage of caring women But arteries are bigger than veins Where is the venous return That re-energises our compassion Pure compassion Unadulterated By the deep desire To be validated Noticed Loved? Let us stay connected as woman of lineage But today I choose to Cut the cord Of that Entanglement Tendency Vow And the angst that I feel When I notice My daughters My sons Reacting to my emerging self-care And my own reaction To their self-care practices That break heavily away From what I have Fervently And with purpose Wanted to pass on to them I realise that it pains me But that pain Is the cry For the severing of that vow And that umbilical cord And tie To selflessness  What disempowering patterns and behaviours do you notice in your generational line?  What intuitively can you do today to cut that cord and create a different legacy?  Have you ever considered that healing yourself, not only can create a new legacy for the next generation, but can also heal the past generation? How will you bravely cut the cord today not just for you, but for others? Enjoy poetry each day and consider the reflection questions as a starting point for your journey ahead. Share them whenever and wherever you find yourself with kindred-spirited women. Create a circle, a support group, a network, a writing group - whatever supports you express yourself and shine through the lows and highs of being a woman, mother and lover!
