the greatest

September 23rd, 2021

The greatest protection
Authentic inner connection
Reality flows when we declare
Frequency is our evolving software

The greatest strength
Open arms without length
Vulnerability is courageous
Love is contagious

The greatest poise
Silence or noise
A balance to be smart
Or take a chance of the heart

The greatest teacher
Relationships of every creature
Life has its gifts
Even when the journey shifts

People come and go
Lessons ebb and flow
Timelines written and read
The greatest adventure is ahead

Blinks

September 20th, 2021
In a world driven by fear, distraction and illusion — frequency is of utter importance. I think we sometimes forget the beauty in simplicity and the power in true happiness. We weren’t put on this planet to rush through life and to get through moments, we are here for a reason.

Life goes speeding by and there is so much to capture in each blink. But why not get to know each blink? Why not dive and deeply enjoy a moment? After all, this life is just a compilation of all these “blinks”.

In this blink, something about the sunset orange of this rose spoke to me. The layers and dimensions spiraling through this rose reminded me of the layers and dimensions within us all. It also reminded me of myself; the insides protected and hugging each other, while the outside petals gently unfurl to the world. But the crimson coating truly let me enjoy this blink, who knew an orange rose could bring so much joy?

In this blink, my morning coffee was extra special. I often pick this mug because the deep/dark blue is my favorite color and the tall shape makes for the perfect coffee experience. But in this blink, the shining gold in the little constellations and the smiling moons brought me joy. As I sat down, the gold in the little tick tack toe board next to me connected to the gold on my mug and even though I often sit next to this board with the same mug, this was the first blink I noticed the connection. So, in taking one moment to be with the little things – this blink was fully captured, teaching me oh so much about life.

In this blink, I finally thought it was time to capture the joy this backpack brings me. This backpack goes beyond the design, the function and even the words — it’s a part of my journey. Truth Matters says so much in just two words, and it’s just a speck of why this backpack is special to me. There is so much meaning behind this one blink, and sometimes the indescribable is better felt than described.

In this blink, the thought about enjoying each “blink” and spending time in the little moments of joy was born. So, I guess you could say this blink of the sun was the first of many blinks that let this post come to be — the sun truly is the ultimate teacher. I’d never quite seen two rays going in such opposite directions and something about it captured my attention. I guess it reminded me that there are so many ways to shine, and every direction is beautiful in its own way.
And a few more blinks ✨
The way you live your life is always your choice. If I could capture a breath in a picture, I would because breath is the choice behind these blinks. When we breathe and sink into stillness, we can deeply live and truly see. So, here’s to embracing every blink and to enjoying every little thing that brings us joy! Be fearless and free -Ace

invisible

September 17th, 2021

It’s the invisible things
that we remember
The act of doing
sends a charge
But the act of feeling,
and being
leaves a mark

A formless knowing
invisible to the human eye
but deeply visible
to the internal light
When something
feels like home
But home has no limitations
freed from visibility’s cage
So, home becomes
the formless knowing

Sometimes I wonder
if my eyes truly see
Is the world invisible
and my human lenses
make it visible?

Maybe I’m invisible
dancing with the shadows
While the world screams
through the visible,
grasping for my attention
begging for my acceptance

When I look back
on my life thus far
It’s the invisible things
I cherish the most
The day I decided to live
fearlessly
The moment I realized
dreams and reality are one
The second I chose
to truly love and be me
To the world, it may blend in
But to me, it stands out

So, when I look ahead
on my life that’s to come
It’s the invisible things
I look forward to the most
The day I feel
a deeper me
The moment I listen
to my heart’s entire song
The second I fly
into frequency’s arms
To the visible, it might be small
But to the invisible, it is all

Smell The Roses

September 14th, 2021

They say the journey is the destination and I think I’m finally understanding what that means. Maybe that’s because I can see parts of my map now, or maybe it’s because I’ve let go of needing to see the map. I really don’t think there is a destination, I don’t think I’ve ever thought there was a destination. But I definitely lost sight of the joy in the journey…no more!!

A lot of thoughts were flying through my mind last week; a combination of the unknowns of change, the desire for something new and the readiness to let go of repetitive pasts. I actually enjoyed listening to all these unfinished conversations in my head. In the “unfinishedness” I got to see possible new versions of me, older versions of me I’ve known, and I got to watch how the me I am now navigated through every turn.

It’s fun to watch where your mind travels, even when it goes to the craziest of places. It’s there you learn that maybe crazy isn’t crazy, maybe it’s just a different point on the map. Part of me knows this life is one of many destinations on my soul’s map. And part of me knows there is no map, I am the map. I love playing in this paradox because that’s where I am free. When we forget to enjoy the little moments and spend time in our daydreams and listen to our inner voice and speak our intuition – we lose sight of who we truly are.

So, the next time you notice your mind bursting with thoughts, visions and adventures of many varieties take a moment to water those seeds. And when those seeds bloom and become roses, take time to smell the roses. On our family bike rides, there’s always this one spot at the end; a little roundabout of roses. And that literal moment of smelling the roses totally reenergizes the soul. So, imagine what a moment of being still and playing in your mind’s garden can do for the soul?

Only you have the power to make your thoughts reality. Only you have the choice to enjoy the freedom of the wandering mind.

uncommon

September 10th, 2021

What is normal?
Fitting in and dressing formal?
Blending in and becoming the crowd?
Following and doing what’s allowed?

I’ve never understood
Why normal is “good”
I think life is more than passing by
It’s an adventure, a time to fly

Is standing out unique?
Or simply antique?
Is being who you truly are
Deeply fulfilling or just bizarre?

Why shrink and hide?
Why comply and abide?
You have a soul to live
A purpose to give

Even though in every conversation
My “differences” become the fixation
I smile, grateful for being me
In this authenticity, I am free

Just Be

September 8th, 2021

I see life in two forms – external and internal. We all know the external; experiences, choices, actions, activities and achievements build what we believe is true life. In reality, true life is internal. What is within creates what is outside. Our relationship with our souls, our thoughts and our visions truly shape what is external.

When we sit with ourselves, alone and free from external hustle, we can deeply feel. There’s a certain harmonious peace that comes with just being. And to the external world, just being seems “small” and “unimportant”. It is truly all that is important. Society distracts us and keeps us at a lower vibration for a reason. When we let go and align with who we truly are, our power goes way beyond what society can control. Internal freedom is limitless and in a world obsessed with labels and limits, a deep connection to your soul teaches you to authentically be.

External life is a blurred vision we make less and less blurry by the way we live our internal life. In each moment we nurture our souls and communicate with the Universe inside, we find the distinct through the hazy – we create our vision. I love the moments that to the external world look “boring” or “unproductive”, but to my internal world are the most meaningful. When I have long, free and deep conversations with my internal Universe I feel most at home. And the best part is: I can have those connections and internal adventures whenever I choose. Even in the busiest of external moments, I can find clarity. I can step back and b r e a t h e. I can look within and live. I can just be.

I think life is way beyond what we experience, life is who we are and how we live. So, here’s to truly living! I wish you many moments today that let you feel the tingling in your fingers, the rhythm of your heart and the song of your breath. Love authentically, dream freely, listen consciously, speak fearlessly and most of all, just be. -Ace

droplets

September 4th, 2021

Droplets of time escape my mind
Drop in my eyes, reality is blind

Droplets of sky run through my hair
Trickling down my skin with gentle care

Droplets of magic journey down my shoulders
As I continue to journey up these boulders

Droplets of our lost sun float across my back
Igniting a heartbeat, creating a track

Droplets of starlight land on my arms
Rolling, descending, leaving little charms

Droplets of the past lay on my fingertips
Stopping for a moment, the future slips

Droplets of a cycle start to repeat
In this melody, nature and I meet

Ace

Droplets d r o p
like rain in my head
I feel their delicate
thud
I hear their subtle
story

Droplets flutter
I know this drop
Trust lets
go
Love lets
in

Droplets fly
in this vision I know
Scenarios lived over
and over
Feelings felt again
and again

Droplets clear
familiar histories
And
echoing mysteries
Sitting in my wave
thunder rumbles inside

Change on my horizon
Something real
calling my attention
So, when she follows
and I surrender the game
It becomes visible
the illusion played

Broken pasts want my repair
But droplets come and cleanse the air

Ace

Had a neat experience with rain (droplets) recently, hence these two droplets 😉! The first piece is about that neat experience, and the second piece is about how that neat experience helped me when something was kind of on my mind. I love when experiences leak into perception and give you a different view on life. I hope this helps you on your journey! Be fearless and free -Ace

A Special Post 🖤

August 23rd, 2021

One year ago today, I embarked on this journey of blogging. I still remember that day vividly. Something inside of me was yearning to express and to share, and I had to follow the call; the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. If you would’ve told me then where I would be in my blogging experience in one year, I wouldn’t have believed you.

Writing and creating has truly changed me in so many beautiful ways. Blogging has been such an amazing space where I’ve learned how to grow, balance, be vulnerable, freely share and fearlessly shine. I’ve met so many different versions of me, and I am eternally grateful for all those meetings.

But most of all, this community has truly blessed me in countless ways. Words really can’t describe my deep gratitude for my WordPress family. I feel lucky to be able to say I’ve made true friends here and connections I’ll cherish forever.

A huge shout out and thank you to my family, who have supported me in every way possible. This blog, this me, would not be alive without them. Gratitude seems like a big word most of the time, but, in regards to my family, it feels very small – so family, thank you for always being there and for teaching me to be fearless and free!

In honor of my first blogging anniversary, I figured we could do something fun and different! I love Q&A’s and taking you all behind the scenes and into my mind! So, welcome to The Ultimate Blogging Q&A!

Where to begin!!! Alright, what are some of your earliest memories of blogging?

Well, my first memory is in creating the website. I remember feeling so deeply engaged in the process and trying to figure out WordPress. I was so intrigued, there was no way I was going to bed that night without having a completed site! And then the next day, I released my first post, Journey of the Free Soul. And I got my first comment, that was pretty special. I still remember all my feelings and thoughts about it in those early days…a mix of excitement, freedom (as I’d come from a platform that was censoring me) but still a lot of unknowns. It was probably the first time I’d truly been excited for unknowns.

How did you come up with the name Fearless Free Soul?

The night before I made the website, I was exploring some ideas. ‘Thriving’ was my first idea, but I wanted a website with .com. I know, that’s so specific 🤪. And then Fearless Soul came in my head. And I loved that as it described so much of my journey in two words. But, the perfectionist in me hated the three s’s in a row 😆. Free popped in my mind and I just knew in that moment, Fearless Free Soul was the one…it was like an instant connection.

So, in 1 year of blogging you’ve made 3 video albums, a virtual cookbook, written 3 books, published 1 book and have just released a video EP. How does that feel? Did you expect to do this much?

I never dreamed I’d have done all these projects! Video-making never ever occurred to me until October. Creating food videos in a virtual cookbook was so neat because for years I’ve watched food videos and been inspired by them. So, to do it was pretty surreal. Writing a book seemed like a far-away dream, let alone 3. Publishing a book, my goodness I still have no words for that! I’ve just been following my intuition and going with the flow along the way — miracles truly are born when we listen to our inner flow!

Where do you get your creative inspiration?

Life! Wherever the journey takes me, truly. Even my prose or seemingly “fictional” pieces are truly based on my current emotions, feelings, thoughts or experiences. I just follow my soul and create for my fulfillment within. I always know deep down inside what I want to get out into the world, and I trust that call. That’s another amazing part about blogging, you’ll be going through something or thinking about specific things and that moment when you decide, “I’m going to write or create something about this,” is pretty awesome. It makes you realize life is really your creation.

What’s your favorite part about blogging?

I love the connection. Not just the connection with all my lovely friends here, but the connection between my fingers and the keys, the connection with my soul and the connection to my life. Blogging experiences always match perfectly with my life experiences, it’s like the neatest of synchronicities.

Any advice for new bloggers?

Enjoy the journey! In the beginning, it seems all new and overwhelming, but it’s really just YOU. You create your experience. Have fun, it’s your blog — write for you! Post when you feel like it, always keep creating no matter the posting and trust your intuition! This blogging journey teaches you so so much, follow your soul and you will grow with each and every lesson.

And finally, what are some of your favorite posts of yours?

Omg, that’s too hard!!!!! In the spirit of creative variety, I’ll give you one of everything. Dare To Be Silent – my favorite video. reality is dreaming + the bitter series – my favorite poems…reality is dreaming, only available in my published book, The Waking Dream! The Life Of Her Journal – my favorite prose. The Pyramid Of Success – my favorite article. There are many more favorites, but this is what came to me immediately!

Thank you so much for reading and celebrating with me today! I am so grateful to have all of you on my blogging journey! Be fearless and free in this waking dream we call life! Sending lots of love, always!
a piece of his-story

August 22nd, 2021

As the stars smile

Promises cradled by the breeze
Illustrate love’s freestyle
Eying destiny with ease
Ceasing the now
Erasing the how

Owning my tale
Forging my trail

Habits become the quest
Imagination is all the rest
Seize the day, be your own ray

–

Seeking what’s around
Testing our sound
Oaths spoken long ago
Realizations we truly know
You are a piece of history

Ace

I always love acrostic poetry, and this one was especially fun as I got to dance with wordplay. I hope this helps you on your journey and reminds you that his-story is more than we realize. Be fearless and free!
