The discovery that is made in the safe space of your own autonomy; after years of never knowing that you are allowed to love yourself. The representation that -often times-is so lacking for the very wisdom that comes from expression in the becoming.

Now i sit in the right hand of my own power giving myself permission to tune in to myself and what my...

Defining my relationship with Love in and out of the conditional and unconditional definition keeps...
