Once upon a time there was a little princess who grew up to be a brave warrior…..

Her name was Anni Mai. She was a beautiful little girl who deserved to be loved, looked after and told how special she was. Someone to tell her what a wonderful life she was going to have and from the outside it looked this way…..

Except on the inside she didn’t have a wonderful life. Once she grew up she spent most of her adult life trapped inside a hell. A hell she created herself because she chose to switch off and live in denial, conforming to society and living up to expectations.

But oh what a gorgeous and brave woman she became. She locked herself in a tower and built a moat around herself. This little princess grew up to be a “knight in shining armour”. She slayed her dragons by becoming successful at everything she did. She even won awards in her chosen field. It didn’t matter how much she strived and strived to create this world where she was the best at what ever she did. The dragons just kept coming; breathing their fire on her. The higher she built her walls the stronger the dragons became.

Then one day; this princess decided she’d had enough and she did the bravest thing of all. She decided to tear down this wall, brick by brick, and as she started to remove these bricks she noticed that one of the dragons, the fierstist and scariest of them all, was just standing there watching her. She stopped and looked right into his eyes and she just saw pure love staring right back at her. You see; she always thought that the answers were in the doing, in the achieving, but what she discovered in that moment was that the answers are in the being and that nothing is as scary as it seems.

When you stop and take a breath you discover that the very thing that you were afraid of is the very thing that will help you learn to love, grow and accept yourself for what you are…….#divinefemanine #wildwoman #femaninepower
