Emotional Creature




I am an emotional creature.
I am connected to everything and everyone.
I was born like that.
Don’t you dare say all negative that it’s a teenage thing or it’s only only because I’m a girl.
These feelings make me better.
They make me ready.
They make me present.
They make me strong.

I am an emotional creature.
There is a particular way of knowing.
It’s like the older women somehow forgot.
I rejoice that it’s still in my body.
I know when the coconut’s about to fall.
I know that we’ve pushed the earth too far.
I know my father isn’t coming back.
That no one’s prepared for the fire.
I know that lipstick means more than show.
I know that boys feel super-insecure and so-called terrorists are made, not born.
I know that one kiss can take away all my decision-making ability and sometimes, you know, it should.
This is not extreme.
It’s a girl thing.
What we would all be
if the big door inside us flew open.
Don’t tell me not to cry.
To calm it down
Not to be so extreme
To be reasonable.

I am an emotional creature.
It’s how the earth got made.
How the wind continues to pollinate.
You don’t tell the Atlantic ocean to behave.
I am an emotional creature.
Why would you want to shut me down or turn me off?
I am your remaining memory.
I am connecting you to your source.
Nothing’s been diluted.
Nothing’s leaked out.
I can take you back.
I love that I can feel the inside of the feelings in you,
even if it stops my life
even if it hurts too much
or takes me off track
even if it breaks my heart.
It makes me responsible.
I am an emotional
I am an emotional, devotional,
incandotional, creature.
And I love, hear me,
love love love
being a girl.

We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with an impure mind
And trouble will follow you
As the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart.
We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with a pure mind
And happiness will follow you
-Dhammapada
I truly believe this darling! Bad thoughts, create bad moods, which then creates a bad day for you! Close your eyes, think of a happy thought. Maybe it is something you are looking forward too. A shopping trip, dinner with your BFF or beau. Making cupcakes, etc…Create a happy thought! Wear that thought in your mind and in your heart for the rest of the day, You will be amazed, when you realize how much your smiling!
Xo,
Catie

Upcoming E-Course


Who is Ambrosia Girl?
Close your eyes. Picture a girl standing before you-underneath a beautiful, Lucius, glowing tree. There is a huge smile on her face. Wind blowing in her hair. Hands around her heart. She feels feminine. She is free. She is sexy, boundless.
This girl is you.
This E-course will connect you to the awareness of all that is there for you. All the abundance the universe is ready to reveal. You and your heart. You will discover how to open up and connect with your soul. Your whole being. Your purpose.
We are all ambrosia girls! We are all connected in this universe by an invisible string. So let us join together and explore all the universe has to offer. What we have to offer each other. Let us clear out all the cobwebs and ghosts we have in our closet, and truly live. Thrive. Love. Not only each other, but ourselves. Lets witness together, our true calling.

On my journey, of finding true self-love, I have been asked by so many " how did you get thru all that?" Given away at birth, being adopted, abused, negleted, losing a child, losing yourself?
Sure, I had years of self - pity. There wasn't enough wine or marlboro lights to get me thru the days sometimes. I never dreamed that one body, one heart, one soul, could ever experience so much pain.
I created this E-course to share. Share our stories together. Tools that heped me along the way of self-acceptance. Including forgiveness, which is by far the hardest thing to do. Nourishing ourselves, inside and out- we have many chances in life. We only have one soul, one heart, one body. Lets learn to embrace it.
Join me on this journey to discover the one and only YOU.
Throughout this course, there will be assignments. Included will be journaling, photo assignments, meditations, wellbeing exercises, movies to watch, and much more.

Exactly

Who is to blame?



"It's a sad day when you find out that it's not accident or time or fortune but just yourself that kept things from you "  Lillian Hellman.

Wow, how powerful is that??

If you have read about me in "my story, part 1 & 2, you already have an idea, on some things I have been thru in the past 40 some years.  But I am writing this today, because I think it's very important.
Finding out horrible news at the age of 14, It all went downhill from there, with the feeling-sorry-for-myself attitude. I felt like, i had to become what society wanted me to become. Countless jobs, boyfriends, moving from here to there. Failed, failed a lot. All i could do is always put the the blame on my parents, or whoever else was in my life at the time.  It wasnt me!!! How could I be causing my own failure and heartbreak?  I was a good person. I did everything everyone asked me to do... I always put what i wanted to do, on the back burner... I would always say " someday" someday I will have, do, accomplish and love what i want. And each new dream, would die a quiet death.
When "someday" denies your needs, it haunts you...It can be a very delicate situation when our authentic dreams interfere with societys plan.
Do not settle for playing it safe. Don't settle for anything less then your dream. Don't settle for anything less, than who YOU TRULY ARE...
In the book, "The courage to be happy" Dorothy Thompson reminds us.  One cannot be disillusioned of what one never put faith in, ESPECIALLY OURSELVES"
Think about that for a while... Let that be your mantra for today, well... for everyday.
Hugs & fairydust,
Catie
