CELEBRATING WOMEN EVERY DAY
It’s International Women's Day.
A day to party.
A day to celebrate.
A day to stand still ...
Today WOMAN stands in the spotlight.
Although not everywhere.
But I AM putting WOMAN in the spotlight.
I stand for Full Rehabilitation.
Women, girls… so often desecrated, dishonored, humiliated, mutilated, pained.
Through the ages.
AND nowadays.
In the West, in the East, in the South, in the North.
But if we, humans, were really connected to our own Heart again, it would never again occur to anyone to nót treat girls or women with respect. And the same applies to so-called feminine QUALITIES.
If people would be with and in themSelves, they would worship Woman, they would worship the Feminine.
They would see the Holiness in every woman, people. They would respect that.
They, WE, would want to protect that, Hér.
"How could it be any other way", would we then think again? And we would look at our ancestors, who did it differently, as being barbarians (to be very clear here - because sometimes things need to be spelled out - I refer to US here and the many generations before us)...
Because: NO WOMAN NO LIFE !!! Literally.
L I T E R A L L Y
If people were Innerly Connected they would see, know, feel that everything should always be in balance, because thát’s our Divine Blueprint.
One would realize then that you can wish for Peace to come, to be restored, but that it is VITAL for you to first come to terms and at Peace with ALL aspects of and in yourSelf; masculine AND feminine, regardless of your gender.
WOMAN.
Once so highly valuated.
Consulted and respected for her Wisdom and Skills and Knowledge.
Once seen ánd treated as Holy.
Because She carries Life, because She gives Life.
Once so powerful and celebrated because of it!
Once…
when Fear had not yet hit us en masse, had not yet gotten a grip on us and had not yet led to disastrous imbalances in and outside of ourselves. Resulting in wars, strife, competition, jealousy, hatred, envy, discrimination, mutilations, rapes, humiliations, assaults, inequality, to the winner takes it all ...
It resulted in the degradation of feminine qualities and energies, of intuition, sensitivity, of feelings, emotions, caring, sensuality, of feminine passionateness, of true contact, but also of lioness fierceness ...
A certain Image emerged.
A devastating image, with certain values and norms attached to it.
An image of: This how a REAL Woman is!
It was oppressing.
Imprisoning.
Amputating.
And we, as a species, sank lower and lower, until we reached the dark ages, our deepest point in time...:
Women and girls were literally and figuratively trampled, exploited.
AND STILL!
Not just 'in other cultures', 'other countries', 'other families', ‘beneath other roofs'. Humans have a tendency to place things outside of ourselves: “Théy are so weird and deviant… théy are so underdeveloped,” and so on. But open your eyes please!
This happens worldwide.
Still!!!...
Last week someone told me I could be 'pretty fierce'. That person apparently had not expected that. Partly because I am a woman, partly because I am ‘a spiritual woman’. More about that in a minute. I am proud and frugal, on this fierce side of mine. It has saved me from all too many ‘nasty folks’, or has helped me prevent disastrous experiences just in time. As the Lioness that lives in me too, I have fought for my children whenever that was needed.
So
I honor this fierce part of me as one of the many parts and qualities I have. If it is not necessary, it is not being shown. But I know that I can and will rely on it IF needed.
Oooooo, and talking about this, do you know what is really ‘killing’, certainly when it comes to this ... ?: The image of THE SPIRITUALLY AWAKENED or DEVELOPED WOMAN in 'Spiritual LaLaLand'.
"A Spiritually Awakened Woman" should always be ‘nice and sweet’ in the eyes of many (yep, STILL)... because she is supposed to have conquered all her emotions and she is even supposed to not have them anymore... (I am not making this up).
And… if you still have them, well, then you are not yet that evolved yet, not that awakened yet ...
Hahaha, ANOTHER BOX to put us into and keep us small .... Bút, I DON’T feel at all that is how Í should be !!!
I am who I am.
I am WOMAN.
I have my talents, I have my gifts.
I have my vulnerabilities.
I have my strength.
I have my passions, my inspirations. my creativity.
My stubbornness.
I have my oddities (thank God-dess !!).
I make mistakes.
I am versatile.
I am devoted.
I can tune in to deep ancient Wisdom & Truth.
Into Lots of Love.
I have a Mission and am committed to it.
EVERYTHING of me is UNIQUE.
And the same goes for you.
once again, for readers might tend to read this a bit too hastily:
THE
SAME
APPLIES
TO
YOU!!!
It’s International Women's Day.
A day to stand still ...
A day to be really still for a few moments ...
Still in yourSelf...
What else is it I can I honor in me?
What is it I dislike about me?
How do I look at my body?
What do I think of my talents?
What do I do with my gifts?
Do I live my passions?
Do I dare to stánd? As I AM?
How open is my Heart?
What am I still afraid of that’s keeping me from opening it more fully?
Can I feel compassion for that?
How do I look at other women?
What convictions do I still carry around in me?
Do I feel jealousy, envy?
What does that say about me and how I see myself?
Where and how can I see myself even more?
And where can I soften even more? ...
What can I (learn to) love more, of me? ...
So I will feel more at peace and ease with myself
and therefore experience more peace and ease in my life ...?
It is International Women's Day.
Rehabilitation Day.
Because WOMAN, more than anything else, symbolizes Life and celebrating Life, for – and I repeat and will keep doing so because it is still só underexposed – NO WOMAN NO LIFE!
It’s International Women's Day.
And today SHE WILL BE THE CENTRE OF ATTENTION.
This is my mantra, this is my prayer:
May the Woman in you, The Woman ‘of’ you, The Woman who gave you life, The Women who come after you, The Women who have been here before you, The Woman who stands behind and in front of and next to you, The Girl, The Young Woman, the Crone, the Mother, the Grandmother, may They, MAY WÉ, be honored again, in our FULL Glory, forever and ever.
Honored as the GODDESS She is.
Regardless of age.
Regardless of looks.
Regardless of roots, education, experiences.
Just as aeons ago, when we as a species still knew how important, how ESSENTIAL Woman as GODDESS really is.
So it is and so it shall be.
AMEN.
We come from Her.
From WOMAN.
Thanks to WOMAN.
NO WOMAN, NO LIFE
(did I mention that already? And, is it clingin’ by now? ... ;-) ).
It actually deserves an honorary title, an honorary status.
DAY IN DAY OUT.
March 8th,
March 9th,
10th of March,
March 11....
the whole month of March,
April,
May ...
the whole year around,
the year after,
and then again
and again
and again ....
Then it will be International Women's Day every single day.
Then it’s time to party every day.
For then we remember every day is a day to celebrate.
As we knew in times when THE GODDESS still mattered and had a prominent role in our lives.
Day-in Day-out.
ALWAYS.
When God-Goddess were still ONE.
When we were still connected, with ALL.
Because we were Awake.
(instead of massively sleeping slaves like now ... ouch)
So:
Onwards we go: to a Waking World.
Onwards we go: to FULL Rehabilitation.
Onwards we go: to Balance, Peace and Harmony.
Onwards we go: to Living in Freedom.
C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S

Today YOU WILL BE THE CENTRE OF ATTENTION.
I

I

YOU

YOUR
BACK

Girl

Onwards we go: to CELEBRATING WOMAN
Onwards we go: to PEACE IN AND WITH OURSELVES.
I wish us all a beautiful Loving & Bright Day.

(Who feels enormously passionate, and even fierce at times, when it comes to this ...
Why ?: Because it is part of my Mission !!! IT MATTERS, more than you might suspect)
