Inspired by one of my favorite Tom Petty songs...  Oh how I long to just run free through a field like this one above.  Im in love with all of the colors and textures in this palette.  ​

Im thinking about integrating my Bohemian Collective blog posts over here instead of having a separate blog for it...  I'm not entirely sure about this transition.  All I know is Im having a really hard time keeping up with both sites, so this may re-inspire me in a new direction with it all.  I miss sharing beautiful things and creative artists like I did over there, as well as our own creative fashion shoots...  So, I may give a go over here for a while and see how it flows...  (I love the site over there, so its a hard choice for me, but I also want to not feel like I'm abandoning the space.  Sometimes simpler is better...)​  So for now, time will tell... Will you follow along with me as I re-arrange...

SHEDDING SKIN

Since the last full moon, I have intentionally been working on 'shedding skins'.  Releasing layers of myself that no longer serve me.  I have quite a few of them.  The ones Im really focusing on are the ones that keep me separated in ways with my husband, or with others I'm close to.  Other layers are ones that keep me wrapped in fear, of oh so many things.  ​This week I have felt a few of those layers slowly making their way down my body, flaking off here and there as they shed.  I'm learning the shedding process is just that, a process.  For me at least, its not something that can just be ripped off, thrown away, and forgotten.  It's a slow, messy, submergence into the shadow realm of self, followed by a rip by rip by rip releasing of this old skin.  There have even been times I find myself obsessively sewing back together this old skin because it was comfortable and familiar, only to once again rip by rip release it. 

I think this shed snake skin I found in my backyard yesterday was a beautiful reminder of the new life that is being created in me right now as I release these skins.  ​

SOUL SISTERS

Today two of my soul sisters, two women who I adore with such depth, are both releasing their new nests online.  Rain has been working hard for the past several weeks designing and developing both of their new sites, and I could not be more proud of her.  I just want to weep with joy for both of them.  And the e-course they are cooking up together is going to be insanely divine.  I cannot wait to take part in it.  They are currently offering an early bird sign up for Soulsigh - A Sacred Blessingway until June 15th.  Even the name of the course makes me weak in knees.  I will be contributing a guest post for the course and Im wildly excited about it!

​SPIRIT SOUL EARTH

​Rain's new home is called Spirit Soul Earth.  How divine is that?  This girl has shown me how to love myself more deeply.  She has shown me how to receive.  She speaks to the hardest to find crevices of my soul, long forgotten places that Ive neatly tucked away in domesticated life.  She gently reminds me through her words of the layers of myself that are soaked with wild spirit.  And her voice... I can't even tell you what her voice does to me...  Go see her spirit for yourself in her new home.

​FAE SOUL

​Denise's new home is Fae Soul.  In a way it feels like her finding her home again after a long journey through the woods of Boho Girl.  This beautiful woman reminds me that I always have a soft place to land.  She gives me gentle reminders of the sweetness of everyday life, including the messes and the pain.  Her voice is like a warm cup of tea, lavender oil and your coziest blanket all wrapped up around you on a hammock during spring.  She is truly a woman I feel safe and real with, which is priceless.

I am so excited and full of joy and anticipation for what these two gentle, wild souls have to offer this world.  Just in the way that I know their hearts, I know its going to be big and pure.  ​
