Welcome to the inside of my head!!!! My journal is a place where I let my thoughts off their leash and they get to run free. Unafraid of what others might think, feel, or say. Here I will be sharing with you everything that is important to me. That could be anything from the state of our beloved planet to my new favorite nail polish. Do your thoughts have a playground where they can let loose and be free? I invite you to "gift" yourself and your thoughts by keeping a journal. You never know what new and fun things you might find in there.Tomiko

As I sit here busily building the Goddess Gathering empire, I can't help but smile to mySELF. I smile because I am living life as ME right now. Completely, fully, authentically ME!!

I've noticed ME showing up a lot lately. I like her. She's silly when she wants to be. She's serious when she needs to be. She's sexy when the mood strikes. And she's comfortable with all of it.

Now, it wasn't always this way... which is why I am so thrilled with my ME right now. Even now, things in my life aren't picture perfect. I have the same concerns as I did before my ME showed up. I even have some new challenging situations to deal with. But the difference is that I AM HERE. Does that make sense to you? Do you get what I'm saying?

In the past, when things weren't going quite right, in addition to trying to endure the situation, I was also struggling to BE ME. So it was sort of a double whammy if you will. Bad situation + No ME = Unending Agony. But now that my ME is fully alive and present, I can handle the tough times much better...with more ease and quicker resolution.

The reason for this is that I AM NO LONGER DEFINED BY THE OUTER. My INNER BEINGNESS is constant no matter what is going on around me. That has made a huge difference in the quality of my life. I no longer get sucked into the appearance of lack, fear, or disappointment. All of those things still show up in my life (I'm not THAT good....yet), but I can take them on with courage and self-awareness.

And because I am approaching life as ME, solutions seem to find me much quicker. I can't really explain it. Maybe it's something along the lines of "because I don't sink so low when trouble appears, the solution doesn't have to go through too much muck to find me". That sounds about right to ME.

Goddesses, your YOU is right below the surface waiting for you to embrace her, allow her, welcome her. While living your YOU isn't that hard. It's the discovering of HER that takes patience and endurance. As I often say, YOU are worth every effort it takes to be YOU!

So back to Goddess Empire building I go.......my ME is no longer satisfied with sitting idly by waiting for someone else to make her dreams come true. Nope, my ME goes confidently goes after what SHE wants!! : )
