☀️To embracing feminine energy today..
👐🏻Being present in this moment is bringing up feelings of sisterhood and motherly charm. The sun shining through the sliding glass door is bringing in the same warmth that’s similar to the way this cup of sweet hot tea is sliding down my throat.. past my heart.. and into my belly. I’m noticing a sense of wholeness.. ease.. and safety from the camaraderie of females in my life that it took to make this moment even possible. All of my chakras are spinning.😫🥰
-I’m acknowledging all of these emotions as I’m biting into the crispy yet soft apple dumpling my mother made. As a kid, my family would get together with friends of my parents on Saturdays for OU games during the fall football seasons for several years.
🏈BOOMER… SOONER.. 🙌🏻
anyways, that was a thing my family did and it was something I always enjoyed. The kids, me and the other youngins, would play games and drive the parents crazy. Our parents would be cooking and laughing.. sharing jokes and drinks.. hooting and hollering over the game. It was always a fun time and now that I’m older, my appreciation for those nights have grown stronger. It’s because of nights like those that I like to do the same with the friends I have now that I’m an adult. The dumplings I’m eating were a shared recipe from this family’s mother to mine during one of those nights they spent I’m sure “spilling tea” and giggling. 🤭💁🏻♀️
-The notes of cinnamon are giving fuel to this warmth I’m feeling though it’s aiding inflammation for not only my spirit, but my mind and body as well. ❤️🔥☄️
-I was reading this book I’ve started for the first few drinks of my tea and small nibbles of these dumplings due to the intentions I’ve been trying to set for myself when I sit down to eat then the thoughts of gratitude took over. This book I was reading is called “Avalanche by W.Brugh Joy M.D.” I had gotten this book from the Dickson Street Bookshop about a month back one afternoon I was enjoying with a few girlfriends and my son. He wanted to get a book after lunch at Jjs across the street and this place was my favorite spot to spend my time in Fayetteville, Ar when I first started traveling up there as often as I was. I got so excited about the idea. 🥲
✨I used to go grab a few drinks at one of my favorite bars and then go explore the shelves of this shop for hours trying to find a book I wanted or enjoying the tid bits of the books that had eye catching spines.✨
-Walking through the moved around shelves and refinding where they had moved certain genres with my son and my girlies was so special to my heart that particular day, especially when they were all able to find things they liked too. ✨🧡
-All that and my love for tea really sets in all those feelings with a girl like innocence, because this love derives from the tea parties I had as a young girl with my neighbor girlfriends. Their mother would brew us some tea and lay the table out with honey and cream.. we’d have cute little tea cups even too. It was fancy and proper with our pinkies out then we’d go outside and play till we got so dirty our mother’s would ask if we were out rolling around with the piggies that they had out back. 🌈☕️🌼🐽
🍃🍂It’s really beautiful to me to think of how much influence little moments like those can have on a simple Sunday just as this as fall is making it’s full debut with the clocks turning backwards. Our past seasons have shaped us in so many ways.. through lessons learned and love as it was gave. 🫶🏻
🌹🌻This Sunday I’m thankful for all the love my girlies over the years have shared with me and all the inspiration my/my friend’s mother or grandmothers have gave me. 🌷💐
💖Giving appreciation to the feminine side of my life today is empowering and fulfilling.👯♀️💅🏼g
