As women…may we never extinguish our light. We must continue to be openly passionate about what makes us so unique and never shrink to those who may not accept us fully as we are. As women, may we live true to our authentic core of love. May we empower and support and respect one another as we each have our own personal ideas of what it means to be a woman. As women, don’t ever forget we have the right to freedom and to equality and to our own individual voices (and have them heard). We have a right to be safe, to live in equanimity, a right for justice, to be acknowledged and loved…..yes, to be sweetly loved. May we take this time to pause and be utterly thankful for all we are and for each and every one of us that holds us up…instead of tearing us…

As women, collectively, on this planet we are all…
I was compelled today to share my story of my sexual assault by a sexual predator when I was 12 years old. It changed the course of my life. As women, we are not alone and this ‘opening up and sharing’ is what is needed to bring the power of women together. We have stayed quiet for far too long and the strength within us has been smouldering for centuries. We have hidden our scars for far too long. We need to bring to light these assaults in our rape culture, including patriarchal oppression, and only then can we move forward by releasing our pain and shame and hatred for ourselves. Finding self-love and then finding forgiveness will help us heal and to be able to keep shining our light into this world. We need to drop the shame and embrace our beautifulness in all we are. #MeToo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEtTirP_sSg With…
