5. I give myself permission to receive love from others.
6. I give myself permission to ask for help\
7. I give myself permission to accept help from others when they expect no return
8. i give myself permission to eliminate chaos in my life by all legal means necessary
9. i give myself permission to accept that happiness is not earned, it is accepted and taken
10. I give myself permission to confess that I am an amazing woman
11. I give myself permission to confess that I am an amazing mother
12. i give myself permission to respect myself
13. i give myself permission to not validate my choices
14. I give myself permission to be in charge of my future and my present

How about you? What permissions do YOU need to give yourself on your own journey?
Talking to many friends both at home and here on my trip. So much wisdom and insight and love and acceptance. I am a blessed woman and I am learning that I am a blessing and a light for many in like kind. As Cinch said, I'm awesome. I can make friends every where I go.
But where, exactly, do I go? These are the new permissions I need for today and my future:
21. I give myself permission to make this journey in steps, to accept that there may not be one final resting place but rather some small jumps and hops toward my future.
22. I give permission to accept that I can not control others: not their choices, actions or words.
23. I give myself permission to find the people whose spirits are like mine; to want to be near them and live my life with them
24. I give myself permission to hope and dream and pray and wish.
25. I give myself permission to make mistakes because they aren't intentional but rather causative as a result of being brave.
26. I give myself permission to fail.
27. I give myself permission to get up, dust of my butt and try again.
28. I give myself permission keep knocking on doors until I know what is the right path for me and the children
29. I give myself permission to consider ALL options no matter how odd.
30. I give myself permission to trust myself.
SOURCE
poetry is original work of blog author. All copyright laws apply.
The fire quietly breathes.
Flames flicker light on her face
Like dancing shadows of remembrances.
Staring into the heat of the pit
She ponders the mysteries.
Heat, source and air are all that is needed
To make the dragon come to life.
Three simple elements unite
To form the burning beast.
Oh how it burns!
One by one the elements wane
Until only air remains,
Whispering gently to the glowing coals.
Only Source is needed
To rekindle the sleeping dragon.
Be the Source.
Watch the fire grow once more.
