How funny/weird that we can allow our Pirate Queen (or our avatar of choice) to be beautiful and powerful and all those things that, well... we can't allow ourselves to be. How funny, actually, that we take for granted she has all those amazing qualities, while we take for granted that we *so* don't have them. Yeah, remembering we are her is hard. I must say, though, that you're doing an awesome job of being the Pirate Queen, even when you forget you are the Pirate Queen. Thank you Havi for being there, doing your confident, beautiful, creative thing. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to watch you do it, and for inspiring us to go off and do our own thing. Thank you for letting us make the experience of your quiet power, which gives us permission to have power too. That's powerful stuff. Josianes last blog post..Traveling Muffins

"the people who were drawn to her were intrigued by her way of being. They became fiercely loyal to her vision. They became protectors and defenders of all that was related to her. And she just kept on doing her confident, beautiful, creative thing in the middle of that love and protection. Even better than that, other people came to watch her do it. And you could see how it inspired them to go off and do their own thing. How her quiet power gave them permission to have power too. " Crap. I have to go walk around the building and cry.

I have nothing remotely useful or insightful to contribute, but I have to tell you how much I love this blog, especially for posts like this. Beautiful stuff. Fierce and gorgeous and kind.

You guys are so completely fabulous. I couldn’t wish myself better readers.

Thanks for all the pirate-ey encouragement. And the juggling! (Gilbert! I adore you.)

Loving all your insights. Can’t wait to see what else comes from this, for me and for you too.

I don't know about the lost blog post, but this one was just what I needed. Last night was filled with not so good things so today my spirit is sinking. This is propping it up and giving me something to think about. Thanks. The pirate queen suits you, all you need is some pirate-y things of your own. Sydneys last blog post..Rooftops in the Negative

Havi, you keep showing me how it's done. I'm having such a look at jealousy these days and it often has my cheeks burning up crimson and yet, whattcha gonna do but keep coming out and showing up, right? So, today, something about what you are saying loosens it up just a wee bit. Oh and pirates? Pirates, yes: "gorgeous and fierce and kind all at once." I love those things about pirates. Pirates are where it's at. Which might be part of why I cannot stop crushing on Johnny Depp, who was a pirate way before the Caribbean... and you? you too. You've been a pirate something like forever, I think. Heidi Fischbachs last blog post..A poem came pounding on my door...
