You Capture: Riverwalk

This week we were
 able to get out and
enjoy the nice weather again.

Our small town has a
nice riverwalk that
 connects our two city parks.

It is our favorite place to take a walk.



This is our "Mini" Mackinaw Bridge.



This is the covered bridge walkway
 that intersects with the riverwalk.

Embodied presence – Bringing all of one's Self to the moment. Holding clarity, focus, and presence while maintaining your “YOUness”.

Self-authority – You are empowered to hold a centered and balanced position of authority within the self - knowing you define you and no one else gets to. You have the right and authority to take action based on your needs, ideas, desires, dreams, and more.

Integrity – Be consistent with your actions, behaviors, and communication. Be accountable for your actions or non-action.

Allow yourself to see the overview of a situation and respond with your intuitive sense of honesty and truth. Be your word and your word becomes gold.

Confidence – A trust filled relationship with yourself, your skill set, and your wisdom. Allowing yourself to lead from your inner strength.

Individual uniqueness – Willing to radiate your “YOUness”. You are one of a kind and that is a celebration. Allowing you to celebrate you is accepting the gift you are to all of us.

Balanced and nurturing self care – Giving yourself permission to take care of yourself on all levels: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Knowing, it is an act of self love.

Intuition – Utilizing your instinctual knowing and deep wisdom.

Accepting self and others – Self acceptance is embracing the beauty and all aspects of you. You are able to embrace both the dark and light sides of self and humanity while navigating both when needed. The light, the dark, the continuous integration.

Commitment- Be willing to commit to your vision and goals. Allow yourself to be realistic with time lines, implementation, personal strengths, and follow through.

Clear communication – Being willing and having the skill set necessary to speak lovingly to your needs, desires, boundaries, goals, vision, and business.

Woman

Embracing Womanhood

When one woman honors who she is,
all women collectively move closer
to becoming what
 they are capable of being.

There are many ways and myriad reasons for women to honor and embrace all that they are. And when any individual woman chooses to do so, all women collectively move closer to becoming what they are truly capable of being. By honoring her experience and being willing to share it with others—both male and female—she teaches as she learns. When she can trust herself and her inner voice, she teaches those around her to trust her as well. Clasping hands with family members and friends, coworkers and strangers in a shared walk through the journey of life, she allows all to see the self-respect she possesses and accepts their respect, too, that is offered through look, word, and deed.

When a woman can look back into her past, doing so without regret and instead seeing only lessons that brought her to her current strength and wisdom, she embraces the fullness of her experience. She helps those around her to build upon the past as she does. And when she chooses to create her desires, she places her power in the present and moves forward with life into the future.

Seeing her own divinity, a woman learns to recognize the divinity in all women. She then can see her body as a temple, appreciating its feminine form and function, regardless of what age or stage of life she finds herself. She can enjoy all that it brings to her experience and appreciate other women and their experiences as well. Rather than seeing other women as competition, she can look around her to see the cycle of life reflected in the beauty of her sisters, reminding her of her own radiance should she ever forget. She can then celebrate all the many aspects that make her a being worthy of praise, dancing to express the physical, speaking proudly to express her intellect, sharing her emotions, and leading the way with her spiritual guidance. Embracing her womanhood, she reveals the facets that allow her to shine with the beauty and strength of a diamond to illuminate her world.

The task this week at
YOU CAPTURE 
is MORNINGS.
 Now I am NOT
a morning person,
 but on my drive to
work  I try to
 TAKE IN
the beautiful scenery.
Often this gives
 me a positive foundation
to start my day.
The FULL MOON saying "Hi" to the morning sun.
