Professional Princess

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up? Well, I wanted to be a princess. My father approached this as kindly as possible, and stated that those positions were full. They indeed were not. But that didn’t stop me from believing I was – my first name is Jasmine….

Hyper Feminine – The Garden

Without comparisons or judgment, I came across a beautiful realization. It occurred to me, that I, divine feminine, am a flower in my own garden. Perhaps even, the tree centered in the middle – giving shade and offering life. And that any man who steps into this sacred place must treat it as such. It…

Hyper Feminine – Stories

Metallic pale pink, pale pink Guess sneakers. Perfectly styled hair, light makeup. I was minding my business, headed across town to the beauty supply store. It was a beautiful, late spring day in 2019. I really just wanted to get out of the house. I needed a moment. Truly, I didn’t feel like myself. I…

A Void

Do you believe in fate/destiny? I certainly don’t believe we were destined to work jobs until we die – I rather like to think our destiny or fate is available to us when we free ourselves from the invisible prison called society. But that is a play on words. What I believe is…you can shape…

Less Perfectionism

What could you do less of? The absolute need to attempt perfection when I know it’s more than just a falsehood, and has hurt me in the past. It’s unrealistic and pointless. I prefer the cycle of life to what I was taught – to walk, talk, dress and seem a certain way. The moon…
