Everyone wants a strong woman.
Until she actually stands up and projects her voice.
THEN
Suddenly she is too much.
She has forgotten her place.
WHILE
You love the comic book fantasy woman.
Just not the actual living breathing woman.
YOU
Want to tame her wild and control her.
But wild can’t be caged or controlled.
WATCH
A strong independent woman will question you.
A strong woman will not blindly follow you.  
HER
Strength is her compass her true north.
She has accepted her Flaws and weaknesses.
SHE
Has conquered her demons and wears her scares.
Like a ruby necklace around her neck. She
WILL
Not only love you fiercely and deeply.
A strong woman will embrace her soft sensual side. She’ll
WALK
Beside you allowing you to lead, never mistake this for weakness.
She understands your need to lead. If you can’t handle this, walk
AWAY
She is strong, sensual, wild and bold.
Not someone to be tamed or controlled.

Minimize her and see how BOLD she is.

I’m different.

If you’re looking for a gentle breeze that’s not me.
I’m a gale force wind that clears the way for change.

If you’re looking glass of wine and a warm fire that’s not me.
I’m three fingers of Irish whiskey and a bonfire burning bright.

If your looking for a sweet moldable woman that’s not me.
I’m strong willed and opinionated and sure of where I’m going.  

If your looking for a pretty perfect princess that’s not me.
I’m wild flawed I dance with my Demons then sing them to sleep.

Like I said
I’m different.

Never in my wildest dreams,
would I have believed that I’d meet;
The Ying to my Yang, my soul star.
Let alone my twin flame. or
“My soul-mate.”
See I don’t believe in soul mates.
I’m not even sure I believed in true love.
And most definitely not love at first sight.
To me love was action a verb something you choose to do.
I didn’t believe, that it was more than vague emotion or action.

And then you walked in the room.
I didn’t realize that Love was and is tangible.
It is a physical reaction to someone.
It’s involuntary uncontrollable and quite often painful.
It’s a slow smoldering fire that burns from the inside out.
The fire flares and radiates out of your body.
Up your spine warming you until you walk outside
hoping for a blast of cold air.
It sends small shocks to your fingertips
forcing you to reach out and touch the object of your affection.
Not even in my wildest dreams would I have believed in soul-mates.
But I do now.

For the Men in My Tribe

May you lead with honor and grace.
For You are the honored leader of your tribe.

May you keep those under your care secure and safe.
For You are the protector of your tribe.

May you find encouragement in small things.
For life is built on small things.

May you find true friendship.
For no man is an island.

May you unselfishly love yourself.
For only then can you unselfishly love your tribe.

May you be kind to yourself.
For only then can you show kindness to others.

May you speak the truth in Love always.
For when it is spoken in anger it is not heard.

May you embrace your wild and encourage the wild in your tribe.
For it’s the wild in us that determines the explorer, pioneer or innovator in us.

May you and your partner share the same wild.
For being wild alone is boring and you are not boring.

May you find God’s best for your life.
For when you find God’s best you find peace, love and contentment.

Being born in the USA
I have the freedom
to remain silent.

But being Irish
I don’t have the ability
to remain silent.

May you dream and dream big.
Dreams do come true.

May you sing your own song Loud and Proud.
Someone is listening.

May you dance to your own music alone if need be.
Dancing by yourself is better than not dancing at all.

May you find your true beauty and beauty in others.
For you are truly beautiful.

May you seek and find your true worth.
Because in your true worth you find your true strength.

May you find true love and experience true friendship.
If you are blessed, they can be in the same person.

May you seek and find Gods best for you then follow it.
Remember your best my not be Gods best be open to that.

May you watch over each other and speak the truth in love.
It’s nice to know that someone has your back.

May you always be there for each other.
You are my tribe and you are strong, beautiful and well Loved.

The children of the mountains looking for safety find only rejection and Loneliness.  
Seeking love and acceptance.
They find only contempt and mistrust.

The children of the mountains looking for a better life find only hardship and strife.
Seeking education and knowledge.
They find only Obstacles and roadblocks.

The children of the mountains looking for a home find only
refugee camps and tents.
Seeking a life and roots
They find only mistrust and closed doors.

The children of the mountains are looking for a home of their own.
Open your arms give them refuge give them acceptance’s.
Give them hope.
