Why I made this blog

Welcome Sultry Saints,

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this blog. It holds a big part of my heart and explains my intentions and reasons behind the creation of this blog. There are three main reasons that go as follows: self therapy, human connection, and hopes of building a sacred sisterhood.

SELF THERAPY

Writing has always been a form of processing for me. Often times I have so many thoughts and feelings just spinning within me and I can't always differentiate, understand, or decipher what they are, what they mean, and why they're there. Writing helps me get all the thoughts and feelings out there in a way that is tangible, makes sense, and helps me get to the roots. It brings to light things I didn't even realize were there. The act of writing is also much slower than the pace at which my thoughts run wild (a bazillion miles a second in case you were wondering) and because it takes me longer to type or handwrite than to think -- it forces my lightning speed thoughts to slow down and really develop. That slow development is what serves as such therapy to me. It allows me to breath, to better understand myself, to see where its all coming from, and to make a choice about what I'll do with it. All my life I have journaled off and on and it's always such sweetness to go back and read those journals from the funny silly entries to the heart wrenching pain riddled entries. Which ever side of the scale they may lean towards the one theme that always prevails is my growth. I can see literally through my own eyes where I was at that time and consider where I am now. I can honor that time in my life while recognizing and honoring the current time in my life -- counting my blessings as I go along, and sharing my story. Which, leads to my next reason.

HUMAN CONNECTION

I believe that my own form of therapy (writing about and telling my story) can be therapy for some one else too. A lot of us go through this life thinking, even believing that we are alone in our thoughts, our feelings, and our lives when in fact that couldn't be more FALSE! First of all, we always have God but whether or not you believe in a higher power -- we always have each other! I guarantee that for every thought or feeling you've had today, all the women in the world have either had that same thought or feeling at some point in their lives, think and feel that way this very second, or will have those thoughts and feelings at some point. Every thought, feeling, life scenario are unique to each of us, of course, but the main point is always the same. For example: a little girl might feel sad because she dropped her ice cream on the ground -- leaving her ice cream-less and a woman might feel sad because she dropped the ball at work -- leaving her jobless. Different femmes, different scenarios -- SAME FEELING. We are so much more connected than we realize. I believe in the power of sharing my story because I know for a fact that I'm not the only one with my story. It may look a little different for me than it does you but when we get down to the roots it's the same and for that I am grateful. Why? Because it means I was never alone, I'm not alone now, and I never have to be alone. AND SAME GOES FOR YOU! What a profound gift! Putting myself out there and sharing what I have to share opens me up to more human connection and deeper human connection Which leads to the third reason.

SACRED SISTERHOOD

This blog is not meant to be a one way street. It's meant to deeply connect with, inspire, encourage, and care for YOU! I am incredibly blessed because I know I have a sacred sisterhood with few women in this life and I wouldn't trade that for the world. The thought of not having that bond with my tribe of women incurs such a deep sadness within me. The thought of other women not having such deep friendship makes me feel equally sad! My hope with this blog is that not only will it serve me but that it would also serve you, and that it would serve a higher purpose for us all. <3 I want to connect with you, I want to hear your story, I want to let you know you're not alone and there is so much goodness in this life! I want to manifest a community of women who are here for each other, rooting each other on, loving each other (even tough loving at times), and who believe in the power and strength of deep connection and feminine community.
