In my eyes, my vulnerability is my strength; the stability anchors me to the instability of this world as a Pisces woman born in March. The depths of my love and ability to feel and be vulnerable know no end; I am at peace with this. A love or passion that is deeply rooted in intentionality, a love that can be just as much intimidating as it is consuming like the sea. I trust in my origins, which has made me the powerful, angelic being I am.

Journeying Through Motherhood; Simple Reminders Rooted In Love

’m sure we’ve all had moments we’ve received advice from our mothers during a time it annoyed us to hear any advice at all. I could remember growing up and experiencing my mother have her “I told you so” moments with me, and it annoyed the hell out of me, lol.
