Outlier

It’s
part of 
the package, I am 
an outlier.  A wise woman 
who comes with many Benjamins.  

These Benjamins are liable for the obstruction 
between me and most men under the bell-shaped curve.
Turning to face this nice headache, I meet the warrior who lives 
within-- I am not poor.

A woman’s Financial abundance grows into a barrier in her relationship.
I have to deal with feelings of resistance.  Or the danger to fail my worthiness.

I have to reshape my feminine vulnerability; and retain being meritorious and 
extraordinary.  I have to fight not to be exploited..……..how exhausting!

Freedom of wealth comes with a dare -- I am not poor.  Simply 
want to feel being taking care of, without requests.  Like my
father provides his wife who brings only breadcrumbs
into their long lasting marriage.

Coming from a place of honesty, gratefulness. 
Desire for feeling safe and sound, provided 
protected.  A conscious marriage 
celebrates 30’s anniversary. 
A powerful woman 
comes with a 
gift – I am 
worthy
