Read MoreI'm a bitch and I'm not ashamed
/
It's time to leave the self hate at the door and celebrate every version of yourself. Give your darkness and your light a place on the dance floor, and grind like everyone's watching! Sing it with me: I'm a bitch, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a mother. I'm a sinner, I'm a saint. I am NOT ashamed!

Read MoreIt's time to come home

Take a moment now, close your eyes and think of what home means to you... To me, it is physical warmth, emotional safety, and spiritual understanding.
