Gary f-n V. can’t make you get there. YOU HAVE TO GET YOU THERE! Plain and simple. Surviving this life and going through the motions just because you think that’s the best you can do is victim-speak. Victims don’t think that they deserve better. Victims don’t think they are worthy. Survivors know that, while they may not feel worthy, some part of them is. And Livers? Livers KNOW without a damn doubt that there is something out there that has their name written alllll over it! Livers know that the responsibility and actions they take today are just another stitch in one badass fucken cape that they have sewn themselves. Liv- ers know that because they won’t settle for anything less than what they truly, honestly, deserve, that they become their own heroines. Surviving this life just isn’t enough, not when there is so much life that you get to Live! This is my call to arms to you m’dear. Are you taking responsi- bility for your shit? Are you own- ing your story and owning your happy ending? If you aren’t, why not? If you’re not ready to, that’s fine. Just know that it’s the Livers who are changing this world by changing their own. It’s the Livers who have already taken up the mantle to create truly incred- ible lives and that anything less than that is just unacceptable.  About the Author Brittany is not only a light worker and shadow sherpa (helping clients through their inner shadows) but she is the CEO and Founder of Clearing the Rain, a company whose mission is to change societal standards around the world, end domestic and sexual violence against women, and empower the fuck out of so many women that she eventually runs herself out of busi- ness. She’s been featured in magazines and blog spots, she’s interviewed with a handful of outlets, but she’s not done yet. Her group, Under the Umbrella, is growing all the time with people who want to change their lives and step into their own true power. Be on the look out for her non-profit, Clearing the Rain Foundation soon! When she’s not doing CEO-type things with her business, she’s riding motorcycle with her hot as fuck husband, playing with her two rambunctious boys, reading, or doing artsy stuff. She also enjoys having family movie nights, digging in the dirt, and does some really amateur photography work.   clearingtherain.com 33
