Thank you for this post! I haven't created as much content as I wanted in the few months I've been here but I do visit regulary to see other people's posts and to comment and interact with everyone. I

I agree that healing doesn't have to be painful... but it usually is! I'm not sure if you know of the teacher Adyashanti, but reading everything you say here reminded of something he shared in one of his

Yes to all of this! I love your voice, your conviction, your honesty and this topic. I'm still growing into my unapologetic fierce female power so I always appreciate connecting with the work of powerhouse

Yes, to all of this. Since you mentioned astrology I'll just say I'm a Scorpio sun with Capricorn rising, so seriousness is pretty much my foundation! The only way for me to lighten up sometimes is for

Thank you for this beautiful comment @nuthman. Exactly 20 something years into my life I realized I was not okay stifiling the sense that something was deeply wrong anymore! I love your perspective that

@steemed-open thank you beautiful sister!! Yes!! I love the feeling of women lifting each other up! 🔥 So glad we connected, I look forward to looking through page.

Thank you for bringing a masculine perspective to the table here @phillyc. I absolutely agree with you... this is not a woman's issue or a man's issue, but a human issue. I think a lot of feminism today

This is so beautiful. I also really enjoyed how you've shared so much of your process 'behind-the-scenes' like doubt, creative decisions and using different apps to see your artwork in new ways. Love this

Here is my submission for this super fun contest (and my first ever contest entry as a Steemian!).

I love how evocative this is... it makes me feel. Art that moves me is my absolute favorite. Beautiful painting, great style!
