I am a Woman Because… November 29, 2010

 

…I am in love with my body. I am a Woman because I love the smooth lines of my breasts, and the curve of my hips. I am a Woman because I am not afraid or ashamed to bear the beauty of my nakedness…because I enjoy the act of sharing and receiving love through sexual and sensual intimacy…because I love the roundness of my stomach and my ass…the strength of my arms and the sink in my back.

 

I am a Woman because I am both delicate and strong…because I can cry without fear, and know that it does not diminish my status as a warrior…I am a Woman because I know that my tears have the power to heal…and that they can also signal an impending storm.

 

I am a Woman because I can own up to when I have done wrong and strive to do and Be better. I am a Woman because I feel things in my womb…because I trust my gut as much – and sometimes more – than my head.

 

I am Woman because I am a Mother. a Lover, a Sister, a Healer and a friend…I am a Woman because I recognise the depth and breadth of Womanhood, and know that it is not defined by one thing, but that it exists in many forms.

 

I am a Woman because I Am…Me.
