Liberating today’s
Women
The lady of the new millennium!
Set me free!
Well ladies we have come a long way
We have.
And we have a ways to go.
Not just women but all people need to be set free
I just happen to see where we as women are still repressed.
Perhaps we are not just in the home
Perhaps we are making more money than ever before
Having more choices
Having the freedom to have children not have children be married not be married.
So where are we still caged in
Why are we still the leaders in such disease as
Anerexia bullemia
Trapped by the obsession of looking good
Being the model of femininity as defined by our commercial industry
Wondering how can we break free?
And why is this important?
If you have ever been 38 and not married and not with children you begin to see the desperation in yourself in the eyes of others as they see you not fulfilling the role of being a women.
We have a “shelf-life”, I’ll have you know.
What worth do you have when you don’t have this? Or when the looks begin to fail and you move from the leading lady seductress to the silent supporting role. The importance and perversity around looks, and body image still prevails, still controls, still manipulates, still pressures us to contort our bodies and our minds to fit in.
The intensity with which this still holds true can be seen purely and simply in the numbers.
The number of women who die from eating disorders
I never wanted children myself but the strangest thing began to happen as I turned 37. The intensity around wanting children started to set in like a dull humm
A preasure a power
A force
That took over.
I watched my friends many of whom did all sorts of crazy things to get married and have children. All kinds of hormones, seragots, fast marriages, adoption papers, but the thing I noticed the most was a sense of relief and pride in the women who had the man and the child and a desperation in the women who did not. There is a sense of desperation around satisfying, becoming, proving, or living a role still today undefined.

More undefined now than ever before so the pain is much greater. I need I want to be something...but I am just not sure what it is.
I need to be fulfill become something other than what I am.
People around they have no problem hinting or suggesting that yes, it is true-you are unmarried and over 40 with no kids...well too bad for you honey...life is over. And that my feminine friend is a load of crocka!! We women need no excuse to live full and free and alive exactly as we are...where ever we are!
Hurray for it all. Rich, poor, successful, fat, mother, childless, jobless, it does not matter...the only reason to be alive is to remember the truth of who we are. Spirit in nature and live that.
To live to learn. And wherever you are...I know it is a learning.
So lets celebrate each other and free one another from the traps of feminine torture chamber identites and judgments. Together we can free any limiting concepts we place on ourselves and each other.
Yea sister.
Times they have changed.
We have choice,
But we still live within the torture chamber of societal pressure and judgement. As well as our own desire to please, out do fit in and lord knows what else.
The pain around this age is very real and very demanding on the hearts and souls of many women.
Finding our way through.
Alleviating the desperation
Finding the inner joy
Seeing beyond
Health and healing of the mind and the body
My sense is as long as we are trapped by this perception of age-
Beauty
We are trapping a piece of life force into a box that is meant for one size fits all in a world of mulit-shapped bods.
It is up to us to heal
To free our thoughts
Our actions’
Our behaviors
To accept
To love
To open to personal loving
And let go of the pressure to be to become something we are not.
