“A girl of stormwinds and thorns, the musk of the wild rose and the flight of the falcon.” – Rosamund Hodge

That is what a free-spirited woman is – the slow-burning fire in the hearth, passionate and undaunted. She is the soul of an eagle trapped in a woman’s body. She is the red umbrella among thousands of black ones, standing out in all her sparkling glory, a walking charm of positivity.  

Some associate being a free spirit with a wardrobe of linen smocks and Birks. But it’s more than just that. It requires courage in the face of all odds. It means walking on a path of uncertainty with no one but yourself for support. It is the constant desire and chasing of freedom for your soul. This is what a free-spirited woman is like. 

1. She dares to dream and makes it happen.

2. Adventure is her kind of drug.

3. Routine is her death.

4. Spontaneity is her strongest suit.

5. Planning is her weakness.

6. She functions best when left to her own devices.
