Intention is everything. When I think of lists, I think of dread. Chores. Deadlines. Stress. Unless it's a list of what to pack, then it's kind of exciting because, travel. But she if we challenged that expectation? Since the start of the year, I've been listing happy & positive things every week. Things that I would never think to well, think about during my hectic day to day life. & some days I really need it. Intention is everything. Studies have shown this to be true whether it's goal setting or vision boards. & while those are both fantastic things I encourage use of, simple lists allow us to live in the moment. Planning can be scary sometimes. Sometimes we could benefit from taking a step back & simply revel in the reality that all we have is right now. Let's overpower the day to day worries & pain. Think of each happy list like the words on the page are propelling themselves as a crumpled up ball swiftly towards the negative things in your life. I've compiled a printable collection of beautiful + fun lists ( designed by yours truly) to tuck in your wallet or tape to your bathroom mirror as a pretty little reminder to simply set our intentions to positive simple things, too. -b

To celebrate that to the fullest we here at #SheRanWildly are recognizing the lunar new year, as moon cycles have always had a part in the feminine & energies. Discover your inner goddess with a group of women from all over the world who are also survivors, via correspondence. In order to heal, we must accept ourselves. In order to accept ourselves, we must know our true selves. Not the self that the abuser saw; not the self that the disability inflicts. The self that was there for it. The self that survived, & still is. The Desire Map by @daniellelaporte is going to help guide us on that journey. We must illuminate from within. But sometimes that's hard alone, so thanks to fiber optics, we can all connect remotely.

Tonight something triggered a lot of pain inside of me that hides still & quiet beneath the love that outweighs it, & the happiness that comes from that. It then suddenly occurred to my weird, always creating brain. I knew what I looked like what I was happy, or annoyed but I had never really looked at myself in a moment of pain. Like true, gut wrenching, soul dropping pain. So I did what comes naturally to me. I took a picture. This is the second one. I chose it because the first one caught me off guard with how bright the flash was, so I took another. It wasn't an experiment that I wanted to feel prepared for or posed in any way because it was a very raw moment. The result surprised me. I honestly don't know what I was expecting to find, but what I discovered was the same feeling that I get when I look at someone else who is hurting. A passion to love them in the way that they need in that moment. Which then presented the question- was I showing myself the same consideration? In the moments of authentic vulnerability, was I honouring that piece of me with acknowledgment, in care? Or was i dismissing that pain as unimportant? As I pondered the answer to that question, a second thought presented itself. People often say to me "you're always so positive" or some such comment on my smile or resolve. But the pain in contrast to it is what creates that genuine happiness because without one you don't know the other. Honour your pain, is it's an important piece of who you are. Artist's Note: As an artist I felt it appropriate to share this as a means of staying authentic and true to the passions and causes that I advocate for. This is not a call to sympathy. The purpose of this is a call to the strength inside each of us that overcomes pain with love, by honouring all the gory bits of both. #SheRanWildly

B L O S S O M, D A R L I N G 🌸 Having a stroke rob you of half your body at barely fourteen years of age, presented a special sort of challenge when it came to "blossoming" into a woman. It didn't really hit me that my body was devolving differently until friends made comments in locker rooms or boyfriends. It was never n a negative way, it was just a curious observance (however unnecessary the comment) that made me hyper aware of my muscular atrophy. Any woman knows that breasts are rarely symmetrical, but although I have mostly full function, I live with random muscles that are paralyzed, which creates muscular atrophy. For a long time it bothered me if one pant leg was slightly looser than the other, or that sometimes I'd try on a cute bra and not fully full out one side. If we're being honest it's probably one of these things I've been most self conscious about post-brain bleed. I'd try to do specific exercises to target muscles but the severe curvature of my spine presented itself as an obstacle with little way around it. I finally came to peace with the development of my body and the effects that my disabilities on that process. My fashion and activity choices are made with these things in mind for reasons of personal comfort but I am no longer afraid to wear pants, or go without a bra. Odds are, I'm the only one who even notices but even when I'm not, that's ok because the differences in my body tell a story about my journey that no one else can, and that uniqueness is to be cherished, not hidden. I am no longer afraid to blossom. All content original content by #SheRanWildly

// a p o e m // Colours flashed, like falling stars. Brilliant, vivid. & for a moment; I saw heaven. A wave of excitement crashed over me. I could taste the salty relief. "Heaven must be full of colour' I mused, 'Think of all the art to be made!" Creating with The Master Creator. Designing within The Divine. Pure joy. Mortality has often knocked at my door & lingered at the steps. It's an old game. Yet I startled. Elucidation echoed from within my soul. Breathe. For I don't fancy death, I simply crave the ascendancy When I can live beyond the constraints of my fragmented flesh, & be the abstraction that I was destined to be.

w h e n  t h e y  c r y  w o l f.

As an abuse survivor, I take it extremely personally when someone plays victim & accuses perfectly respectable people of abuse, or threats of abuse. This has happened to people I’ve dated, family, and close friends of mine. And in each instance, the accuser is known to be an insecure, dramatic, attention seeking sort of soul, meanwhile, their victim is the kind of person that would probably take a bullet for them.

I take reports of abuse, or reported threats seriously; we all should. So that’s why, when a false report is made, not only it is extremely disrespectful to those that are actually victims of abuse or threats, but it tarnishes the name of the innocent who are accused, but it jades them in future interactions, corroding their ability to trust.

The common question that arises in these situations is, “Well, how do you know for certain if it is a false report versus an actual threat?” The answer is, you might not always know, if you are not close enough to the situation. In that case, listen to those that are close to the situation on both sides. If you witness both an overwhelming outcry of injustice, & an eye-rolled dismissal then odds are pretty high that a false report has been made. If there is a fair amount of uncertainty & belief on both sides, odds are you should take careful consideration in who you support or keep company with.

I know someone who was removed from their position of leadership in a church and lost friends because an insecure, attention seeking girl that accused him of molesting her, as retribution for feeling rejected. A few years later, she admitted that she’d made it up, but the damage was already done.

I know several people who have been falsely accused and it has affected their lives in a way that can never be reversed. It provokes a fire within me on behalf of their sense of injustice, but moreso to those who cry wolf. The level of self-involved carelessness that is required to selfishly damage someone else’s life, name & character, I cannot comprehend.

One in three women are abuse survivors. One in ten men are also victims. Out of respect for those of us that have as to actually live through this, I plead on the behalf of real victims- please be very, very careful, before you ever say anything about someone’s character or behaviour. You have a responsibility towards those who have real issues to report, and a responsibility to the innocent, in keeping their reason and ability to trust, in tact.
