Unabashedly 60

This is me on my 60th birthday.

What you see here is a life poured full with love and kindness,
with heartbreak 
and the brokenness fused back together 
by God’s grace and mercy.

What you see here is hope rising up
and dreams still awaiting their births.

What you see here is longing and melancholy
for what is yearned for in this world of hurting people.

​What you see here is strength, tenderness, and courage...

all  encouraging the 
truest self, the purest essence to step forward
unapologetic of the imperfections 
and past insecurities, while also 
extending forgiveness to harsh self-judgements.

What you see here is a woman coming into her own
skin, body, wisdom, and spirit.

The embers are unabashedly hot.
Let the party begin.

Birthright

All of my life, there has been a voice inside of me that is always demanding that I do more, be more, be a leader, for heaven's sakes.  Don't slack!  Can't you see this life is a competition?  You're not going anywhere if you don't step it up!  I've tried to appease that voice.  I've tried to follow the patterns and platitudes of what it means to be accomplished, but it rarely fills me.  
This morning, as I made my breakfast, a quiet voice said, "You were born for simplicity."  And with that, I have decided to claim my birthright in my 60th year of life and to yield to what makes me alive.  I will lay down the wrestling of all that I am not and welcome my own beauty in the calling of simplicity.  Let the shrouds of over accomplishment be lifted.  Let the meek sing.
