It serves me on so many occasions...it's a reminder of who I want to be,
and who I sometimes am....
There are days I feel overwhelmed, or feel my needs aren't being met, or I spot a new wrinkle, note that my figure isn't what I would like it to be, or I feel like I'm not all I could, should, would be, if only I would get it right.....and who I sometimes am....
Days I wonder if anyone really sees ME...hears ME...
or if anyone is even looking or listening.
yes, I do know I'm blessed and loved...but....
So I read this and see....it helps me see myself...recognize that I am a complex woman...a proud woman, powerful, a survivor, beautiful...one with some wisdom...
a woman with passion and desire, a creator, a spiritual being, a traveler exploring,
One with the Universe
a mysterious celebration..a dancer.
good enough!
and you are too!
, ....and I thought maybe you would like to read it again too..xoxo
Imagine a Woman
Imagine a woman who believes it is right and good she is a woman.
A woman who honors her experience and tells her stories.
Who refuses to carry the sins of others within her body and life.
Who refuses to carry the sins of others within her body and life.
Imagine a woman who trusts and respects herself.
A woman who listens to her needs and desires.
Who meets them with tenderness and grace.
A woman who listens to her needs and desires.
Who meets them with tenderness and grace.
Imagine a woman who acknowledges the past’s influence on the present.
A woman who has walked through her past.
Who has healed into the present.
A woman who has walked through her past.
Who has healed into the present.
Imagine a woman who authors her own life.
A woman who exerts, initiates, and moves on her own behalf.
Who refuses to surrender except to her truest self and wisest voice.
A woman who exerts, initiates, and moves on her own behalf.
Who refuses to surrender except to her truest self and wisest voice.
Imagine a woman who names her own gods.
A woman who imagines the divine in her image and likeness.
Who designs a personal spirituality to inform her daily life.
A woman who imagines the divine in her image and likeness.
Who designs a personal spirituality to inform her daily life.
Imagine a woman in love with her own body.
A woman who believes her body is enough, just as it is.
Who celebrates its rhythms and cycles as an exquisite resource.
A woman who believes her body is enough, just as it is.
Who celebrates its rhythms and cycles as an exquisite resource.
Imagine a woman who honors the body of the Goddess in her changing body.
A woman who celebrates the accumulation of her years and her wisdom.
Who refuses to use her life-energy disguising the changes in her body and life.
A woman who celebrates the accumulation of her years and her wisdom.
Who refuses to use her life-energy disguising the changes in her body and life.
Imagine a woman who values the women in her life.
A woman who sits in circles of women.
Who is reminded of the truth about herself when she forgets.
A woman who sits in circles of women.
Who is reminded of the truth about herself when she forgets.
Imagine yourself as this woman.

Ahhhh...such a HeartSong! I so love this writing as it touches each woman in so many different ways no matter how far along the path you've come to finding the Higher Self. It strikes a chord of resonance within the Sisterhood.
Beautiful...as are You Beloved...as are You!
