Honor Your Voice

Honor Your Voice
by Katie Short

When all else falls away, your voice remains.
Your truth, and your expressions of that truth remain.

When your confidence is shaken,
your inner voice can shore up your foundations to face your battles.

When those around you don’t see your light,
your writing, your art, and your love speak to them.

When life closes in like a deep fog in a wood,
your voice rings clear, lighting your path.

When your heart is rendered torn,
your voice and your truth rise from the ashes.

When your intuition falters
you can still hear echoes of your voice in moments past, to help renew your journey.

When it seems your connection to all that is has become worn and thin,
your truth begins to reweave the fabric of that connection.

Blessing for Change

Blessing for Change
by Katie Short, on the occasion of Hannah Elson’s high school graduation, and for all those facing new paths.

Blessed be the steps taken on your journey, wherever they may lead. Bless those steps long since covered with age, whether straight to this goal, or winding to this place and time. May you gather your future from all corners of a vast universe.

Blessed be the earth that falls under your feet. May it bring strength when the path is long, and provide a firm place for you to build a new life. May its energy sustain you in closing what is past, and create a solid path as you find your future.

Blessed be the water, that vital source of being. Seek wisdom in its silent power. May renewed imagination and the thrill of possibility flow from the oceans, and the joy of discovery trickle from every rill.

Blessed be the fire that lights your way. The flame which brings passion for knowledge, stirs the embers of hope, and burns bright with accomplishment. May it ignite your soul with warmth and compassion, and may you harness its energy in love and joy.

Blessed be the wind, the air that surrounds and sustains you. Blessed these forces that bring change, and the gentle breezes where you find peace. May it be.

A Woman of Strength, Reconsidered

A Woman of Strength, Reconsidered
by Katie Short

A strong woman stays active and eats right to keep her mind and body well,
but a woman of strength also spends time at rest to do the same.

A strong woman isn’t afraid of many things,
but a woman of strength listens to her intuition so that she may understand and respond to her fear appropriately.

A strong woman wants to be stronger than everyone else,
but a woman of strength knows her limits and uses them well.

A strong woman makes errors, and tries to avoid repeating them.
A woman of strength recognizes her errors, and works to correct them with grace, even when it is difficult.

A strong woman walks with sure footing, charging ahead,
but a woman of strength takes the time to ensure her footing is stable, so that she may best support herself and others.

A strong woman maintains the appearance of confidence,
but a woman of strength boldly confronts her self-doubt, and radiates true confidence in her features.

A strong woman believes she has enough strength to finish her journey.
A woman of strength knows that life is the journey, and that her preparation, wisdom, and intuition will show her when to work, to rest, and to move forward along the way.
