Lately I’ve been on the verge of a shift. I’ve experienced a lot of them over the years – new living situations, new careers, new relationships. But this one is different. It’s like there’s a part of me that’s about to burst through and experience the world differently.  

The possibility of what it can be like feels liberating. There’s no more fear of what others will think. No more shakiness in my body. No more second thoughts about what I’m about to say or the decisions I’m about to make. It’s just an expression of my truth with confidence and ease.

I’ve always referred to this state as ‘expanding into my full power.’ Each person may have a different image or experience of what this can look like for them. I’ve often seen it as my warrior self who’s finally ready to take center stage. 

Yesterday I was on BART (the San Francisco bay area’s subway system), ironically on my way to a yoga immersion self-discovery workshop in San Francisco. I say "ironically" because about halfway there, I tuned into my thoughts (or, one voice among them) and was surprised by what I heard.

A little Mother's Day present for you all. Just a reminder that, at the end of the day- and the end of our lives- what will have mattered most is kindness and the kind of love we practice here at Owning Pink every day. (*dabs eyes*). Happy Mother's Day!

Dear Pinkies, please welcome back my Pink Mom Trish Rankin, here with some insight on heroes. Thank you, Mommy, for reminding us all that we are brave and powerful. Take it away ....
