Empowerment is
Empowerment is recognizing what you need to do for yourself and doing it even when others say that you are being selfish. Your first priority is to TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF! When a situation is bad, your first responsibility is to get yourself OUT, to remove yourself from any negative, hostile or contentious situation, whether this is a job, a relationship or an environment. You empower yourself by protecting yourself!

Kali …
Kali is the Supreme Goddess resolving and harmonizing the contrasting
attributes of creation and dissolution,. She is the very essence of every
existence.All the dualities of life, the light and the dark, the beautiful
and the fearsome, are united and reconciled in Kali.
Kali is the symbol of eternal time (Kala) she presides over all stages of
the life. Kali is consciousness in motion—the overflowing joy that
projects, sustains, and withdraws the universe. And her destruction has a
dual aspect; she gives birth to new life as the old one fades away in the
darkness of death.

my tattoo was done in october by os at cottage 13 in hamilton, ontario. my uncle (http://www.torlukasikfoss.com/) designed it for me.
it is a stylized image of an egret. this picture means so much to me because it is a connection to my family (and their love of birds), a symbol of independence and solitude, and lastly a symbol of infinity. i love it to peices and can’t wait to get another.
O Kali, you are fond of cremation grounds So I have turned my heart into one ;)
O Kali, you are fond of cremation grounds
So I have turned my heart into one
You love to dance in the light of burning pyres
At the dead of the night
Mother, come and dance unceasingly
In the cremation ground of my heart
Where all my early desires burning to ashes
Prasada waits with his eyes closed.
Kali, greatly terrifying, laughing loudly,
Elokeshi sporting disheveled hair flying in all directions
With fearful fangs, four arms holding a cleaver, a skull,
And gesturing mudras bestowing boons and dispelling fear,
Wearing a garland of skulls, tongue rolling wildly,
Digambari garbed in space in her nakedness,
Free from covering of all illusions
Thus I meditate on Kali My Mother,
Dwelling in the cremation ground of my heart
My Mother dances joyfully
Prasada watches with great delight

Shiva, symbolizing pure, absolute consciousness, and Devi, symbolizing the
entire content of that consciousness, are ultimately one and the
same—totality incarnate, a micro-macro-cosmic amalgamation of all subjects,
all objects and all phenomenal relations between the “two.” Like man and
woman who both share many common, human traits yet at the same time they
are still different and, therefore, may also be seen as complementary.
