I am thrown right into the fiery furnace of Daniel and his friends once again (gosh it actually causes me physical discomfort to use Bible stories that are all about men..let’s rename him to a her, shall we?).
Take 2:
Yet, I am thrown once again right into the fiery furnace of Daniella and her friends once again. I am tossed right back into the chaos that has become my constant companion these last few weeks to say the least. And as you saw yesterday with my self Embodied Coaching time, I am learning quite nicely to plop down and sit in the midst of chaos.
I know that I shared a few days ago that the heart of my story for my platform is to teach “Radical Self-Acceptance” and that I plan on doing this through the themes/modalities of Divorce Abuse, Practice Joy and Dance with Life. I know I said I wanted to start sharing with you my Creative Structure of how I saw this coming together and to give all of us a little bit more direction and certainty as to what this blog and my platform would be all about (or maybe this was just my thoughts about what I wanted to share. Forgive me for I am so wrapped up in trying to “work this out just right” lately that I cannot remember what I have shared and what I have not!).
The old me would have rolled over with embarrassment, apologies and the like to have to even admit I am so “wishy washy” or “fickle” for “we know this is not an okay way to be in the world.”
I am reminded that I do not need any outside authority to tell me that I am okay being right where I am at. I do not need to hang my head in shame and tuck my tail in underneath me and claim defeat for I just can’t seem to pull it together yet.

There is NO SHAME in being a woman. There is nothing wrong with leaning into my “womanness”. Everything is more right in my world and the world at large when I tune into my deeply feminine side that is full of life, creativity, and immense POWER that shows up in all shapes and sizes and can scare the bejeebers even out of me. I will make no apologies to myself nor to any of the old voices in my head for wanting to sit in my shadow for a bit longer, to listen to my feelings, to acknowledge them and honor them as I would one of my kiddos.
I will not hide in embarrassment for jumping the gun and sharing my thoughts these past two weeks with you on how I thought things were going to unfold for me, this site and my platform at large. Heaven knows big businesses (can we say Bank of America?) even do this sometimes. No, I will let this just be a learning lesson for me – which has taught me more about being a woman AND about how to balance my feminine energy with the masculine more. And I am reminded that I am happy to share my “blunders” with others to let you know you are not alone.
WILL YOU JOIN ME?
The world is hungry for the Feminine side of life right now. It is thirsty for the milk that only She can provide that will help guide us back into harmony with the masculine energy that has dominated all of us for so long. In doing this, in learning to Dance the Dance of Life between the feminine and masculine, healing and hope are being poured out in new and dramatic ways. For this is what the world needs right now – my own world and the world I see at large.
I am part of this awakening, I am giving myself permission to be a woman. I am giving you permission to be a woman. I even give men permission to tap deeply into their feminine energy – go ahead, let the flood gates break wide open and let’s heal this Land.
