I am a Gypsy..a wild free spirit

May 8

I am a gypsy..I am a free spirit..a wild woman wanderess.. I live life with glass half full.. I live my life in no regrets for being present in the moment brings unfathomable joy on your journey.

In my formative years I never conformed to the typical lifestyle of shaping my life to mimic others or to strive to be the most popular, most beautiful or most admired.. no none of those labels could be applied to me then nor now.  I would look about my surroundings,  at even my youngest age,  to be welcoming to all, accepting of all to embrace them for who they truly were with no harsh judgement as  I was forever inquisitive in my nature to understand all that crossed my journey.

As my father and my sissi stated "I love to push the envelope".  This must have been extremely challenging to my parents to discipline me with a fairness, strong teaching of right, wrong and love most of all.  I think that my parents did a decent job in their approach in raising me.  I do not fault them for anything that happened in my life.  I simply know that they as people, individuals who had their opinions and ideals with the role given to them as my parents gave me the foundation of love and  to be who I wanted to be.

My mother, aunts, maternal and paternal grandmothers, cousins and sister were and are strong women.  Creative, fun loving, sense of humor, great cooks, farmers, strong willed, tenacious, brilliant, sparkling, survivors...these few descriptive words are just a tip of the strength and gifts they gave to me as a young child.  They were molding me to become the strong woman that I am today!

I am a wild boho child/woman on a journey of discovery of learning something new each day.  I run after the richness of the earth, the stars illuminating my path, the incandescent orb of the moon around me  to engage with  Mother Earth , with her friends of nature to enrich my journey.  I am faith based as a tenacious spirituality enriches my soul.

She is free in her wilderness, she is a wanderess, a drop of water.  She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs.  "Time" isn't something for her to fight against. Her life flows clean, with  passion, like fresh water.

On my journey I connect with others who echo my simple beliefs.  I am richer for their friendships, their knowledge shared with me, and their journey that has entwined with mine.  I am thankful for my sissi who understands me, encourages me to be the gypsy soul that lives deep within me and unconditional love.








The Gypsy's Table is abundant with stories, love, beliefs, creativity, great moveable feast, great conversations with friends and family.  What does your table hold?




Peace
