i was inspired by brother tobey's last thread "what is a 'real' woman"
and i found this........so i wanted to share it with all of you beautiful women here :)





THE REAL WOMAN CREED


I believe that within me lies an extraordinary radiance, and
I commit to letting my light loose in the world.

I believe that the source of my power and wisdom is in the center of my
being, and I commit to acting from this place of strength.

I believe that I possess an abundance of passion and creative
potential and I commit to the expression of these gifts.

I believe that the time has come to let go of old notions and unhealthy
attitudes, and I commit to re-examine what I have been told
about beauty and dismiss what insults my soul.

I believe that negative thoughts and words compromise my
well-being, and I commit to thinking and speaking
positively about myself and others.

I believe that young women are in need of positive role models, and
I commit to being an example of authenticity and self-love.

I believe in the relationship between my well-being and
the well-being of the planet, and I commit to a life of mindfulness
that regards all living things as holy and worthy of my love.

I believe it is my spiritual responsibility to care for my body
with respect, kindness and compassion. I commit to balancing
my life in such a way that my physical being is
fully expressed and nurtured.

I believe that joy is an essential part of wellness, and I commit to
removing obstacles to joy and creating a life that is full of exuberance.

I believe that a woman who loves herself is a powerful, passionate,
attractive force, and I commit from this day forward, to loving myself
deeply and extravagantly.



may each and every one of you beautiful beings feel each word, take it in,
and feel more empowered and loved.
