I have been asked to partake in a 3 Day quote challenge by radhikagaur.wordpress.com and like always I’m grateful for the request of my opinion. To be heard and being able to contribute, as well as receiving the opportunity to perhaps make a difference for somebody that can find hope in the words. Thank you very much and please be sure to circle back to my nominators blog to find more quotes.
The rules are simply and short:
Thank your nominator and link back to their blog
Write three quotes total, one for each day
Nominate three fellow blogger each day, nine total
I have to admit that I am a sucker for quotes and they hold great wisdom and advice for me. I find myself cradled and motivated by their insight as well as inspired by the values and the pursuit of what I hold dear to my heart. They become my mantra and a reminder whenever I feel the need to correct my path.
And while there are many and it was hard to choose just one, here is my first quote for this challenge.
“She wore her scars as her best attire. A stunning dress made out of hellfire.” -Daniel Saint
This quote speaks to me because it is inevitable that life will leave us with lessons of which some will eventually turn into scars. The impact can be empowering or devastating and no matter how hard, the choice of how we wear those scars is ours. We can let them define us and give into the fight, or we can get up and rise again until we learn to wear them proudly, becoming stronger in the process. To wear them like a dress of hellfire and to let them be the birth of our inner warrior.
Which one will you chose?
My three nominees are…
talkaholicme.wordpress.com
scottishlegendwordpress.com
grandtrines.wordpress.com
Have fun with it, I can’t wait to hear about your mantra and what speaks to your heart.
We are the co-creators of our life and the time is now. More than ever are we needed to support Mother Earth and each other.
Together we discover and explore our unique gifts in times of strengths, in times we lean on each other, and in times when we learn from each other.
This blog started as an outlet and what I ultimately called my “Warriors Journey.” It was a way to document the ups and downs of my life, sharing my hardships as well as my successes. It showcased the struggles, but more important the ways of how to overcome them. Although we are warriors each and every day, I realized that having to be a warrior, comes from a place of pain. I decided to rename this blog, and “Phoenix Rising” now stands for the story of overcoming such a painful place.
My motivation for this blog hasn’t changed and I hope to share inspiration and hope, to create a sense of belonging, a space of being heard, and connecting with like minded beings who instill a sense of oneness. We are never alone, and we are unstoppable in the pursuit of what sets our soul on fire.
Who I am in a nutshell...
I am an energy healer and Reiki Master.
I am surviving a chronic disease that I’ve sent into remission three times since my initial bout, 15 years ago.
I continuously challenge the status quo and by doing so I change my stars.
I am a believer that anything is possible. I am a hopeless romantic and I believe that true love exists on various levels. I am an optimist that will always see the glass as half full. I am a dreamer, believing in endless possibilities. Not even the sky is the limit. I have jumped off of the hamster wheel, and I am writing a new chapter.
I am chasing my Nirvana to support my most authentic self.
This is my story, I am that Phoenix and I am rising from the ashes.
Namaste 🙏🏼💙🦋

Reblogged this on Still Another Writer's Blog and commented:
My astrology blog was nominated, but I am moving this to my writer’s blog
1. I find this video so compelling that I must substitute it for my first “quote”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF8uR6Z6KLc
2. I also must select another video, a Star Trek monolog, as one of my all time favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ6td1J0-Us
Say what you will about Shatner, he got this right.
3. Be ye as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves.

Some message bear listening to again. We become different people, at least slightly, as the days, weeks, months, and years stream past. I first saw it in ’06 when it was new.
