My Life Stages

I began life as a gorilla – cumbersome and chunky. I clunked my way into situations, abrasive and loud. I also misrepresented and misspoke. Rapidly became misunderstood and ostracized. Life was not working... So I transmogrified myself into a butterfly. Flitting from place to place, not staying long enough for enemies. Keeping myself safely out harm’s way Keeping my emotions inside where they began exploding So I blew up and had to reinvent myself.... Now I am a lively, happy mountain goat. I butt people who annoy me. Defriending them right and left on social media. A warrior woman mountain goat. Living my truth, my way. Pleased to meet you!

Yes, I can see you that way, especially 'butting people who annoy me' - not sure what my animal spirit is, but I think maybe some desert dwelling creature, because I love hot dry weather! (so of course I live in the Northwest, hah hah)
