Empowerment
Ensuring Fairness and Inclusivity in Women’s Sports
Growing up, I was raised in a faith that taught me to love everyone, regardless of their journey on this earth. My religious upbringing instilled in me the importance of compassion, empathy, and inclusiveness toward all people, no matter their background or identity. In recent years, the debate surrounding the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports has grown increasingly contentious. Both sides present compelling arguments: advocates for inclusion emphasize the importance of equality, while critics raise concerns about fairness and safety in athletic competition. A balanced and equitable solution that respects the rights of all athletes while maintaining the integrity of women's sports may lie in the creation of distinct subgroups for transgender and cisgender athletes. This proposal has the potential to embrace inclusion without compromising fairness, fostering a sporting environment that promotes respect and opportunity for everyone.

My First Love
The sun dappled through the overhang of leaves, creating moving shaded areas on the well used wooden seats of the old library. Aryan, a tranquil kid with a universe of contemplations behind his scenes, was immersed in an exhausted duplicate of "Pride and Bias." His heart beat with an odd musicality, a blend of expectation and apprehension, as he sat tight for her.

My Ancient Quest
'I just want to be me' Live my life my way as a blueprint for my journey as a soul navigating the rhetoric of my human self. If we think about how amazing this life can be as a vehicle for intrepid growth we get to feel excited about the possibilities and let's face it they are infinitely endless. From the moment we are born a guardian angel is assigned to us and will stay with us until we leave this earthly life. And if we want to stretch the mind to corridors often closed off we can allow a belief there will be spirit guides that are also assigned to watch over our path. A mortal march through the fields of adventure where souls go to party as a human female or male. Some might ask why we do it. Choose to embark on a journey in a 3-D foreign land. A starlit sanctuary where anything can happen amidst the best-laid plans of a soul script meticulously prepped for thirst-quenching growth. Planet Earth is an enigma a mindset all of its own but still, we hunger to set sail for shores far from our cosmic home to explore the Nirvana dream. An ideal of enlightenment and awakening to the truth of self. Unlike the programs instilled to constantly challenge and disbelieve who we truly are. A divine soul designed with love by a creator who was inspired to bring forth a universe of celestial beauty and enchantment. A reservoir of enterprise induced by an innovative mind able to manifest into reality their infinite imagination. They say Nirvana is achievable if we grow with the changing tides. Still, many settle for a conditioned style of life with patterns clogging up our divine ID a galactic bloodline that goes back to the beginning. Masked by human beliefs there is no source or God only us drifting in time and space. This spin doctor rap breeds a disconnect with our divine origin as a heterosexual or gay human doing their best in a compromised world. I reincarnated as a lesbian so I could experience what it is to be gay. Not everyone will agree with this belief but as a spiritualist who honors the concept of reincarnation.

Rise Of The Divine Feminine
'Who is the divine feminine of Planet Earth? Is she a petite wallflower or a woman of passion, integrity, and purpose?' The former is the illusion as her ancient ties to leadership prove different. This divine feminine has a sparkle from knowing she is a cosmic powerhouse. She is unmatched in her quest to defeat paradigms that depict her as submissive, silent, and a good wife who never questions her husband's authority. This is not the modern mademoiselle who struts her diamante glitz with self-honor, self-respect, and love. The divine light, she carries like a torch beaming into the programs that had her quietened by men who feared her innate strength. Centuries of suppression have left a mark of abandonment as she trailed behind the masculine deemed the most powerful in the home and state affairs. A hangover from the Garden of Eden where Eve was portrayed as a temptress after eating the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge and encouraging Adam to do the same. According to biblical scripture, God punishes Eve with the curse of painful childbirth for allowing the devil to tempt her, and on it goes as she carries the spirit of original sin if you care to believe in the religious storyline. Either way - the Eves of Planet Earth are the carriers of the masculine seed ensuring the continuance of the human race. A peculiar species that once revered women as warriors, leaders, and powerhouse allies of their male counterparts in ancient cultures. For example, The Viking wife was strong in status and often a fearless warrior who could own property and choose a mate for life. The typical belief that women from earlier times were compliant and a shadow of their husbands' importance is hardly true as we unveil the commanding influence many had on their families and communities in Greece and Egypt the land of the female pharaohs as the Egyptian Gods were male and female. The star on the red carpet of ancient Egypt is immortalized through Cleopatra the notorious Queen of the Nile whose leadership and affairs of the heart are glamorized as a woman who shone a light on female autonomy.

Legendary Lightworkers
'Welcome to the greatest show on Earth' A cosmic interplay of stars, planets, and movements that inspire spectacular growth. Creation is the vision of a maestro whose music is the breath of life. A mystery and a force to be reckoned with as every planet, moon, and sun movement is tethered to the expansiveness of our conscious thought, The higher we go the more we know as we see beyond the clouds and become awakened through our enlightening experiences as a soul in human form. Not everyone will resonate with this creation thinking except those who intuit we are here to ascend the programs of a Magician Earth. A place where influence has decided the code of life through religious text and leadership roles honored by the masses. Since the birth of man, our faith has been modified by those around us and their innate ideals. The more powerful became rulers and benevolently or not commanded their followers to honor and abide by their rhetoric--- forming collectives or civilizations. These were earlier gatherings inspired by the spirit of camaraderie and community plus a sense of safety and economy. Many looked to the stars for answers to their human origins. From this came an array of religions or worship of idols each reflecting the cosmos and the environment they perceived as a celestial home. Mankind had arrived and Mother Earth welcomed her companions with an open heart and optimism. Creation had sent souls disguised as humans on a mission of higher intention through the art of reincarnation. Not all will agree with this life-birthing theme and there are numerous interpretations of our genesis written in books that date back thousands of years. It all comes down to what you believe and many versions are circulating to confuse the most intelligent human scholars. It was a precarious journey through the forest of truth and programs endorsed by ancestors who were adamant they knew who God was and what was expected of us.

Rise Of The Showstopper Feminine
'Why is love so hard for so many in a world designed for the loving interaction of each other?' The sweet symphony of love is revered in our Eden-themed home abundantly blessed with heartwrenching sunsets and moonlit nights. We are wired to fall in love with love a person who evokes the dream of an insanely perfect partnership—written in the cosmos and Akashic records, while blessed by the heavenly realms. A union of compatible souls destined to meet from past lives of togetherness and embellished by fairytales, films, and celebrities that shine their light on marital bliss making us believe we can have the same. Love is a chaotic mess of emotional bliss fostered by hormones that expand and heighten our belief we have found the one. A mystic force of nature sent from God to complete us. Whether it's a destined soulmate or a karmic lesson giver, the connection is real and on cue for your climb through the trees to Nirvana. That is if you know your spiritual stance in a programmed world or are following the lead of guardians who picture love as a sacrifice or compromise the moment they settle for an abusive mate who shatters their illusion of love. A sparkling essence of joy where heights of intimate, and sexual bliss can be attained in a co-creational partnership with loving intent and companionship. The dark side of love is showcased in the unions of pain where one or both partners are lost in a lake of illusion with elements of control -- co-dependency -- manipulation plus mental, emotional, physical, and financial abuse.

Lesbian Titan
'My heart and soul breathe a distinct flavor of difference as flowers bloom in my garden of lesbian difference' A burlesque walk on the path of the begotten in eyes that speak religion or a median belief in the tradition of male and female as opposed to girl meets girl and falls madly in love. It is a dance of the divas who see romance in the eyes of each other. Love is the magic of the cosmos sparkling and true while here on Earth we use words like compromise when compatibility is nowhere to be found. Love seeks the giver a recipient with a requited appeal while here on Earth we defer love as conditional a program devoid of high-frequency allure. How did we become cryptic in our vision of amour? A twinkle in the eye of a creator whose light defined who we are. Human and divinity all rolled into one as male and female wearing a clever disguise. Here on Earth, we play life from mixed influences. Our guardians had their say as did teachers and the politicians we thought knew so much more than we did. We come to grow and unravel who we are and why we are here. An ongoing sonata of seeking truth through illusion imprinted in our cells, hearts, and DNA. A storehouse of events, experiences with spinoffs of emotions felt through the tests and trials we endure in the 3-D realm. The danger zone of mistruths and patterns we embrace like a lover from a past life. Our patterns are embedded in our soul and human vault. A reminder of intuitive prompts we chose to ignore or banish to a place of remembrance when it was too late to change the action or life choice. We are victims to the cause of the patterned views we claim and over time superglue our conscious way of thinking about love and its factual source. We play at life with unconscious beliefs that are garnished from what others believe. This may be our guardians whose sermon was a religious god. An icon that denies the conception of gay love while shooting holes in psychics who see beyond earthly realms.

Embracing The Good Life
We often hear that success is measured in wealth, fame, or professional achievement. We see images of people building empires, achieving greatness, and climbing the social ladder. These stories dominate the media, creating an illusion of what it means to live a fulfilling life. But what if the true key to happiness and health has been hiding in plain sight all along?
