be FIERCE

i know i’m on the right track.
i’m becoming more confident and happy with myself.
i want to be like a lion, the king of the jungle.
i want more respect from people.
i know that fierceness is something you’re born with, and i do have it. now i just gotta let it show.

I turned 30 last year and things started to change inside of me. My attitude towards life and people has been morphing drastically. I’ve started taking lots of photographs and I’m really enjoying it!! I picked up my guitar again for the first time in years and I’m writing music..I’m looking to start gigging weekly in a local bar doing covers: lots of Concrete Blonde, Black Crowes, Big Wreck..if it kicks some ass, I’m all about it!
Fierce..I’m learning..isn’t something that comes from the kinds of things that you choose to do…it’s an attitude that emanates from within you FIRST that spurns you on to do the things you really want to.
I can’t tell you how I arrived here..but I can say that I thought ALOT about the things I wanted to do..and I made myself do those things, even when I was worried my husband would think I was silly or weird. Fierce is about taking the chance to become who you are and being true to yourself. Yeah, you’re probably going to ruffle somebody’s feathers..but that’s just because your confidence in yourself to do your thing makes them feel self-conscious. In my opinion, if you’re not pissing somebody off..you’re not quite fierce yet!!
Being fierce made me realize my love for photography and my desire to open a fine art portrait studio (where people can get neat ‘artistic’ portraits instead of the boring Walmart photo ones that nobody likes, but everybody has..)..and to continue to develop my musical talents.
I’m not in full fierce mode yet..can’t wait to be…and when I get there, I’m gonna live fierce until I die.
God Bless..xo

I’ve been indulging my creative side more of late, and it’s been heavenly!! I FEEL fierce. At least, I feel what I imagine fierce feels like! I’m not full on fierce yet..but I think I’ll know it when I arrive…..

All I know is that “fierce” is my favourite adjective. I’d love to be able to think of myself, and have others think of me as a fierce woman. For me it means ‘frighteningly awesome’, ‘commanding respect’, ‘fearless’. I want to have a fierce body, be a fierce designer, engage in the world around me with a fiercely positive attitude. I think it stems from my cautious nature’s desire to over-analyze a situation before I make a decision. I don’t want to live with second-guessing and anxiety. I want to know that what I decide to do is 100% right for me..no need to explain myself or apologize.
