THERE’S A NEW DESIRABLE FEMININE IN TOWN!!
OMG.
So I just read an article on “How to Be Feminine and Act Like A Lady.”
Suffice it to say, I thought perhaps I had taken a trip back in time to the 1800’s or something.
For real?!
I will be more desirable if I do the following. Advice included:
* Become a make up expert
* Learn to be shy
* Don’t cut your hair
* Smell good
* Do your nails
* Never swear
* Speak softly
* Love yourself for who you are
With the exception of ‘love yourself for who you are’ (and I have NOT mastered this one 100% of the time)…
… according to this article, I’m screwed.
I wonder if they have some sort of school that will help me?
Ha.
Well, truth be told. I’m actually not in the LEAST bit interested in any of those attributes in my quest to align with my Feminine.
* Become a make up expert. Um. I like make up sometimes. I prefer natural. And when I do wear make up, it’s pretty basic. I do admit I like sparkly sh*t sometimes (Oh, darn. There I go swearing. Check that off the list).
* Speak softly. Yeah, right. I have something to say, and I won’t mince words to get to the heart of matters.
* Smell good. Hmmm. As a hippie gone entrepreneur, I still am true to the values that make me an earth lover. No chemicals. No perfumes. And a commitment to use less water. I may get a little “raw” sometimes, and that’s the truth.
In the interest of time, I won’t continue to dissect the problems I have with all of this “put me in a pretty lady box” advice.
Here’s my point.
I am not proper.
I am not classy.
I am not what you want me to be.
I AM the spectrum of the Feminine in the exploratory unfolding of ever expansive desire and depth!!
Today I’m vulnerable and yielding.
Tomorrow I’m fierce and assertive.
I ROAR in my tiger print.
I DANCE in my sensual dress.
I’ve traded my high heels for yoga clothes.
I value comfort over appearance.
I am what I am not supposed to be.
Emotional.
Mysterious.
Untamed.
Persistent.
Messy.
In process.
Sometimes I know exactly who I am and am led by inner wisdom.
Sometimes I fall apart and remake myself again.
Ultimately. I do what is TRUE for me, casting aside my inclination to care of what you think of me.
When I honor the Feminine according to her life-giving terms, I am in my wealth. When I dismiss or oppress her, I am in my lack.
Dear ones.
It is time to pause your definition of the Feminine.
Permanently.
It is too small for your Soul.
As we give rise to the new qualities of life and leadership necessary for these changing times, let us each discover the Feminine riches thatnwill restore balance and enliven our collective.
In the meantime, I’ll be acting like a lady MY way.
Today it’s doing business in my red bathrobe while swearing and eating quality super food chocolate.
