Awakening the Goddess Within
                              Introduction to the Course

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!
