I read an amazing book in the last few weeks that impacted me so greatly and opened my eyes to my heart song that I had to change the name of my blog to reflect my “Aha” moment. I took the mantra that you see so often here last year – “Authentic, Joyful, Bodacious – With No Apologies.” And I still live that mantra. Well, I do apologize sometimes, but never for being me. I admit that up to the point that I finished the book by Kris Radish, “Dancing Naked at the Edge of Dawn,” I did not fully realize the scope of the mantra. I highly recommend the book. It will change your outlook at women and how we are.
That being said – I realized that I have a tremendous calling and passion as an activist for women’s issues. The current political environment has opened the channels to that passion, and has brought me to a place in which there is no turning back. In order to protect the innocent, namely my direct family and those friends that wish to remain on the fence, I am writing this blog now with my soon to be legal name. I have made the choice, and I am standing strong.
No longer can I just sit back and read what is happening to Women’s Rights. I not only will be blogging my own political views and opinions, but I will be blogging how the challenge is affecting myself as well. It is important that we, as women, join together in true sisterhood to say, “No! We will not go back to keeping quiet and being perfect little ladies.” We, as a race, have fought long and hard to be heard. We cannot stop speaking our truth now. So, I offer myself up to the Goddess as an advocate, activist, and speaker of truth.
As we all know, the more the Sacred Feminine makes Her presence known, the more the Unholy Masculine will fight to squelch Her. Yes, you read right – Unholy Masculine. Those are the words and title that seem appropriate here. There are men out there – my husband is one – that believe as we do. Women should be held in equal status in all areas. He honors the sacredness of the Feminine and sees all women as his equal – not better, not worse, but equal. That is how we raised our daughters, and that is how we both will continue to influence our grandsons and any future grandchildren.
Fasten your seat belts! I am truly Dancing Naked – Authentic, Joyful, Bodacious – With No Apologies!
