                 Awakening the Goddess Within

A Woman is a symbol of greatness for she possesses the fragrance of
exquisite tenderness which encompasses the whole of humanity. A
woman possesses infinite grace, beauty, courage, power and fame.

She is adored by those who know her, admired by those who seek her
and needed by those she loves. A woman embodies ‘Mother Nature’
with such elegance and poise, yet having the power to do everything,
she is limited in her actions and achievements for she does not know
her own strength.

To me, all women are priceless, for she is a rare gem only found
after a long continued search for beauty in the mist of uncertainty
and struggle. She is wise, she is silly, she is pretty, she is funny, she
is calm, she is patient, she is valiant, she is a good listener, she is the
devoted friend and she is love personified.

Whatever her age, whatever title she holds, each woman has the
secret of God’s Creation as the embodiment of the Divine Feminine
within her. As the giver of life she creates in her womb the body that
will shelter the soul that she {gives light to} brings forth and gives
births to.

That is how priceless we are. That is how much power we own. And
that is the reason why we, the women of this world, need to come
together and from our place of power work towards achieving
harmony in our lives and in the lives of those we love.

It is too easy to keep on putting things in the back burner, for as we
know, what is left for tomorrow stays undone. But what is amazing
to me is that women of all walks of life have stopped using their
power of creation and their magic and have substituted their grace
with stubbornness.

We play the famous tit for tat game with those we love as if logic
could be replaced by lack of logic. What do you think will happen as
a result? Look at your life and the answer is starring at you right in
the face.

Women, we have lost sight of our role in our lives, in our homes, in
our communities, in our society and in our world.   And because of
our absence from self, the quality of life is on a downward spiral.

What is comical is that we expect others to give us what is already
ours. We are incapable of recognizing our own worth and have not
learned how to even come close to capturing the fullness of our true
essence but instead of learning how to change the mess we’ve made
we keep on adding more of the same in our every day living.

So how do we about fixing our broken lives? How do we replace the
lethargy that has plagued us for far too long?    We think that cure to
our problems lays on a quick trip to the mall were more ‘stuff’ will
be purchased thus keeping our minds occupied while negating
ourselves the right to take a good hard look at our lives and take
control of it once and for all.

Why do we do the things we do? Because we have been allowed to
get away with it and because it has become habitual, ingrained in
our sub-conscious and act out of impulse not thinking or knowing
that there are consequences to our actions, or lack of them. Simple
and clear; you might not like what I am saying but the truth remains
that it has to be said and it remains the spoken truth.

We all come from good stock. Valiant women have come before us
who paved the trails so that today we could walk them with great
ease. Ease is one thing and not doing what only we can do is
something else.

Think of those great women that used their spark of divinity to moved
mountains and indeed they did. But they did much more than such
move mountains; they left us a legacy of fortitude and nobility along
with a knowing that we can accomplish anything as long as we
remember that we are the life giver, the bearer of the mace that
keeps all things glued, sane, whole alive.

Been a woman should be an honor to those who are, yet if we do not
love our job it tends to reason that no one is going to either, or for
that matter give us the merit that we truly deserve. Any job that is
done poorly will have bad consequences and the job of a woman is to
awaken the goddess within her and act from that place of wisdom,
courage and might.

As trail blazers these talented and powerful women that came before
us inspired others to follow their lead, building and gaining
momentum that broke boundaries set by indifference, fear, ignorance
and limitation. Among those boundaries is something we all have
taken for granted, which is the privilege of casting a vote.

Our older sisters opened many doors so that today’s women would
not fall prey to         ignorance or lamination, yet what I see
generations later is that even though we’ve evolved and have
become formidable opponents, we have negated to find Mother
Nature’s wisdom within ourselves. And that is an abominable sin.

When our actions are not in harmony with what which we are by
nature, we are not         coming from a place of strength and can only
become weaker. Therefore weak are our efforts, no matter how
clever or smart we may think we have become.

The result of our lack of presence in our lives is evident in all that is
taking place in our homes, in our communities, in our society and in
our world. But what is more important is that the job that we are
called to do, can only be done by us.

No one else has the knowledge or insight to do what only we, the
females of the specie, know how to do. No one else holds the title of
Goddess, no one else on Planet Earth creates magic as we do and no
one else can cure the pain or hurt like we can.

We’ve left our rightful place for too long to the point were sense of
belonging is hard to come by now a days. Look at your communities
and you will see that what is taking place is total chaos. And our
only remedy that what is before us is point the finger at each other
as if this would solve our absence. Things like this only take place
when the female energy is absent from the equation.

Yes, we have left our post for what ever reason, too many to mention,
and as we know everyone is right. But today I am not here to talk
about what we think is right but how to bring about the changes that
are so desperately needed, for in reality, unless we, the women of
society, goes back and takes charge and fix what’s broken in our
lives, in our homes, in our communities, in our society, and in our
world, we will all perish.

Goddesses, it is time to wake up and take charge of the task at hand.
First we need to start making changes in our lives, our homes and in
the lives of those closest to us; husbands, children and anyone else
who lives under your roof. This should be your top priority.

If we all minded out own stores {business} and left the other person
mind their own store {business} the problem would disappear faster
than thinking that we have the solution to the other person’s problem
when ours is still to be corrected.

Once this task is accomplished then we need to start moving
outwardly into our communities and get involved in causes that are
service oriented and one that you are passionate about. It serves no
one to get involved in something that you really don’t care for. That
is hypocritical, and we need to be genuine about all that are and do.

Get your entire family involved in your pet project; this involvement
makes your nucleus stronger and more compassionate. Perhaps your
children or husband have other interest and they should also be
respected. Perhaps you can all share one of them as a family, but
what ever you do ~ DO SOMETHING TOGETHER!

If changes need to be made, make them. Make changes that will
impact lives with goodness so that the change is effective and has a
lasting effect for everyone concerned. Change laws where possible
or work towards changing the laws that are in the books which make
no sense or benefit only the affluent leaving the ones in need going
without.

Get together with other lady friends who are as passionate as you
and brain storm on projects that will impact your community. Have
weekly, bi- weekly, monthly or quarterly meetings. Start impacting
lives with your sense of purpose.

Create bake sales or garage sales, whatever is best for you as an
individual and as a group member. Donate the proceeds of the sales
to a non-for-profit organization that uses the money to help those in
need. Here is the basis for having abundance in your life.

Go out with your lady friends once a month or when ever possible.
Make the activity one that is outside the scope of anything that you
do on a daily basis. Make this a meaningful, relaxed and an honest
interchange of energies with your female friends. Be yourself. Be
present and be caring. Above all make this         a moment to
remember for everyone in attendance by remembering who you are
and why you are.

Know that when strong women get together to contemplate change
for the good of many, our sister in the spirit come and join us and
give us of their blessings and inspire us to pursue higher grounds.
This is a great benefit to have and one that can have a great
outcome. They, our sister in the spirit world, can provide guidance
on a project that the group has undertaken and are unsure of.

If anyone in your community, neighborhood, school or place of work
needs help, lend a helping hand in whatever form you can as far as
you are able to. If the situation justifies your intervention, be the
brave one to step up to the plate and propose the solution to the ill.
Know that when something bothers you and a feeling of urgency
arises within your being, it is because you are the one that has the
solution and power to fix it, to make it right; SO DO IT!

Be a good friend to your lady friends. Be a mentor a mother, a
sister, a leader, a daughter. Don’t ever stop giving for it is in giving
that we can truly appreciate the essence of our grace and the
rewards are innumerable and ever flowing.

A man follows a woman who occupies her role and from her place
of         power leads with a soft and gentle hand. Man needs a strong
woman, even though they don’t know this. But strength is not
measured by what we do, or by what we say, but by how we lead
others who will do what needs to be done.

The woman is the life of a home. Everyone needs the woman in their
lives as much as the air they breathe. Don’t be fooled ladies in
thinking that we need to compete for what is already ours. All we
have to do is see life from the perspective of the goddess.

She is all knowing, all powerful, all prevailing and full of
compassion. And yes, she is a bitch as well, let us not forger that she
can do everything and the bitch comes out when she is needed and
goes back in after the job the done.

Women have a place in society and men have their own place. There
is not need to be on opposite sides of the same coin. Ying and Yang
need each other to balance each other out. So why argue about
something as silly as power when you already have it, you own it,
and he knows it?
We the Goddesses of this world need to takes back what is ours and
with loving hands lead our love ones into a better expression of self.
And it all starts with the awakening of one goddess at a time, one
household at a time, one reconciliation of self at a time, one woman
who proudly wears her colors decorating all that she is, all that she
does. This is the beauty of power, this is our magical touch and that
is why we are needed and loved.

So now for the real question; when are you going to start doing what
only you can do? When are you going to come to your senses and
take charge of what only you can do? When are you going to wake
up and see that life is but a dream? You are the dream, you are the
dreamer and you are the manifestation of that dream.

Now come, and let us together create harmony and grace so that we
can restore our lives, our homes, our communities, our society and
yes, our world; after all this is the reason why we came to Planet
Earth in this incarnation.

Don’t you remember? O what a shame, but I do. I remember it all.
And today I am reminding you of your part in this wonderful journey
of awakening so that together we can bring total fulfillment to
everyone’s life; and that includes you.

My wish for you, for all of us, is that as we open the window to our
soul we remember that we can do anything, including loving
unconditionally and shine as the morning star, ever so brightly for
the whole world to see!

Namaste
