We indeed need to intent, we need to dare to have different conversations of empowerment, about who we are being.
We need to embrace our responsibility to become our greatness, boldly and loudly.
Yes loudly and there is no conversation that we will give the power to stop us from being loud.
With loud I mean steadfast, clear even if we cannot yet fully articulate what it is we desire, daring, authentic and making it clear we want to be heard.

Oh Robin, you are a sirene, you so say in this wonderful bold way what we are on about. We need the overview, this bigger bolder vision you are adding here so compliments what Ann-Marie and I and Women Like Me are on about.
You are a Women Like Me, we all are Women Like Me, we are about change and how to go about it and we need to sponsor each other in any way we can. AND you my dearest Robin do that so beautifully, I am in awe and I so love you for your bold stand.
And we will meet, I am sure of that.

First of all, I am soooooo deeply touched that you posted my comment here. To be seen by two such remarkable souls as you and Wilma is changing my life. So many times, I feel how I will have to meet you both one day “in the flesh” so to speak.

As I was reading this post for the third time I had a new thought that had not occurred to me in my previous readings. It may not even really relate to this post, but it is the “AH HA!” thought that came to mind so strongly.

In my mind’s eye I saw several of the women I know in my offline life and they are fantastic women, kind, wise and so much more….and YET, each one of them moves into the world with a subtle (or maybe not so subtle) energy of “helplessness”, but it runs deeper. They move into the world unconsciously “waiting” for the world to “affect” THEM, as opposed to being totally empowered and moving into the world with the INTENT to affect the WORLD and their community.

I realize that women the world over are taught from the get go to be helpless, meek, weak, submissive and more, but I really feel like it is the time for women to come into their full power…WHATEVER that is, and to almost thrust that power (their gifts) upon the world. I say THRUST because it may at first seem like that is what we are doing. As women it is foreign to us to take the initiative, to realize that we have GREAT…I repeat, GREAT….power. We have as much power as anyone or anything “out there”, much power as we want.

But it’s even more than that. We ARE power. We are a force that the planet is in desperate need of. We can no longer afford to be meek. We’ve lived in a patriarch forever and now (today on the planet), as women it’s not about “can we make a difference”. It’s about “We ARE the difference”. The planet, children, other women, elders, ….and yes, especially men are in great need of feminine energy. The patriarch has gone on SO LONG that most men have forgotten that they are human beings with gentle sides, with tears, with vulnerabilities, with beauty and softness. I have had a few really good men tell me that they are only beginning to awaken because they are listening to women. In turn women must also remember that we are equal to ANYTHING on the planet. There is no hierarchy. It’s a illusion that only manifest when believed in.

I know I got off track there, but the point being that community, change, healing and more must now come from women. Women can no longer move into the world waiting for the world to “affect” them. As woman we must be more brave, more bold, more powerful than we have ever been. We must be who we really ARE. And if we move into the world expecting our communities to confirm who we are and the boldness we are exerting, it may not happen. So we must also be prepared to TOTALLY trust our instincts, spontaneity and heart impulses and act on them blindly and independently if needed. When we do this we create community everywhere we go. We set an example for other women, our eager to learn children, and men with open hearts.

I love you for inspiring me to be who I really am. I go away from these pages with a bold strong heart. I KNOW who I am. I also feel a freedom here to share my thoughts and feelings uncensored. I don’t review them to see if they are “right” or “good enough” or anything else. I just let my heart speak, and any limiting thoughts fade to nothing.

Love,
Robin
