IMAGINE A WOMAN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Imagine a woman who believes it is right and good she is a woman. A woman who honors her experience and tells her stories.
Imagine a woman who believes she is good. A woman who trusts and respects herself. Who listens to her needs and desires and meets them with tenderness and grace.
Imagine a woman who has acknowledged the past's influence on the present. A woman who has walked through her past. Who has healed into the present.
Imagine a woman who authors her own life. A woman who exerts, initiates and moves on her own behalf. Who refuses to surrender except to her truest self and her wisest voice.
Imagine a woman in love with her own body. A woman who believes her body is enough, just as it is. Who celebrates her body and its rhythms and cycles as an exquisite resource.
Imagine a woman who celebrates the accumulation of her years and her wisdom. Who refuses to use precious energy disguising the changes in her body and life.
Imagine a woman who values the women in her life. A woman who sits in circles of women. Who is reminded of the truth about herself when she forgets.

It is very nice, and I do wish all women could be that way, so long the love for herself is confidence and isn't conceit... goes for men as well...

As a woman grows older ,hopefully she grows towards the one you describe because that is what she strives for as what's in her heart and soul.
Some of us feel very blessed to know that we have already reached such a conerstone in our lives,but were confident in who we always were as a human being to know that we would become no other.Anything less was always unacceptable
