We live in a world where no one truly knows what it means to be a woman. For centuries, we've had to fight for our rights and our place in society. We constantly have to strive to be respected and recognized for our successes and abilities. As we grow up, many women are shamed for whatever they do. They are told to lose weight to look more flattering, gain weight to look more feminine, become smarter to earn a place in society, play dumb because males feel threatened, and the list goes on. Many of us feel like we always have to tweak our appearance or behavior to become more likable and appealing. The worst part is that no one seems to realize or accept that we would still be called out no matter what we do.
"Feminine," in our society, is often perceived as "less." We allow everyone's expectations, perceptions, and behavior to tear right through us. Though, that's because no one realizes the power that comes with being a woman. A magnificent force lies inside every woman known as the Divine Feminine or the Sacred Feminine. This force is a representation of the connection we have with the mother goddess. It is an inner power that calls us to the mother goddess and breathes life into us.
