Why should I?

As I transition from active duty Air Force into retirement (not the same retirement as those with financial freedom), I reflect on the past 20 years and ask mySelf "what was this all for", a TON of thoughts and feelings come up.

What is any of it for?

I was NOT conditioned to be the the person I am determined to be today.

I entered the military vulnerable, and 99% of my experiences in the Air Force communicated that I had to EARN acceptance. Working in a male-dominated career field (aircraft maintenance), I was labeled as a bitch, a whore, or a lesbian; we all were. As an Airman in my early 20s, men 15-20 years older than me put me in their categorical box to make working with me more tolerable; never mind the fact that I was good at my job and worked hard.

At no stage in my life was I provided the grace to exist. I never asked to be liked or admired, but I just wanted the opportunity to JUST BE, without ridicule or being told who I am.

We all deserve a life of exploration, where JOY and PLAY are our default states - and for absolutely no reason!

Connection with our Truth is a human right.

That's why.

TELL THE WORLD WHO YOU ARE, don't let the world tell you!
