Welcome
Everything you need is in you now.
You are beautiful, you are precious, you are valuable, you are significant, you are breath-taking, you are gorgeous!
You deserve to be treasured, cherished, uplifted and encouraged!
Maybe you don’t realize it yet, but you are amazing, once you had a dream, a belief in yourself, a natural self confidence, where did it go?
Today sadly the biggest threat to women’s happiness is that they don’t realize how precious they are. Many of us are walking around as in a dream, functioning with a distinct lack of authenticity. There appears to be a right of passage which occurs in nearly every woman’s life whereupon she decides to put care of herself, and being herself on the backburner.
“I wouldn't dream of working on something that didn't make my gut rumble and my heart want to explode.” - Kate Winslet
Were you once like this little girl, someone who knew what they loved; and just enjoyed doing it with no reservations or qualification required?
There are many examples of the dynamic I speak of around us all the time.
We see, examples of women thriving as they live a completely authentic existence; and examples of women falling apart at the seams as they struggle to live a lie.
" I think that ultimately I just have to be myself. You know, I don't do anything that outlandish anyway.” - Julia Styles
The theme of this website is to illustrate what the difference is and hopefully be of some assistance in helping women move towards their true selves. We need to be able to explore the different parts of our true nature.
Sometimes we need to be protected and feel safe, other times we need to be as free as a bird.
In taking on a mantle of misguided nobility, many women descend into depression, anxiety and high stress levels.
This trend is happening today, around the world to women of all ages, races and backgrounds.
The biggest tragedy is that in many instances women allow and enable the whole process, inadvertently becoming a product of a thousand different influences and putting themselves in situations which lend themselves to abuse.
When one door of happiness closes another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us. - Helen Keller
Popular culture can tend to glamourise the idea of total devotion to a man; who is supposed to fil in all the gaps and make everything wonderful.
A woman can easily fall into th habit of justifying all kinds of unacceptable behaviour when the reality of a relatioinship does not match this ideal. Are you choosing to be less than you could be?
Are you hopelessly devoted?
Despite the many advances of the women’s movement some dynamics of oppression appear to have carried on stronger then ever.
The explanation for this lies in a clear choice.
To be or not to be; me?
Have you succoumbed to the myths of the many unfair and ridiculous standards women are supposed to adhere to?
Often the answers are right in front of us; but sadly like Dorothy we may be unaware that in any given moment we can choose to live our lives differently.
Many women are misguided in that they think that their suffering and sacrifice is helping their loved ones.
However what they don’t realize is that their lack of authenticity has the potential to cancel out their efforts and sometimes lead those they love to behave and live in destructive ways.
When a woman is operating on a daily basis with the characteristics of a wind up doll; then everyone in her life will be affected.
Why not seize the pleasure at once? How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation. - Jane Austen
Sometimes we need to snap out of it and realise that time is ticking away and maybe some changes are called for. Like the following song asks:
Can you handle the seasons of your life? Are you afraid of change because you've built your life around someone else?
Lack of authenticity will cause all relationships to suffer on some level, even if everything appears peachy.
People will sense they are interacting with a shadow of the real person.
"Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.” - Gwneth Paltrow
Precious time and potential will be wasted; opportunities lost, and off spring given a poor role model for a high quality life.
I am reminded of Meryl Streeps role in the following movie, where she sacrifices a chance at being with her soulmate on the altar of being a good housewife.
The look on her face in the final scene says it all.
O.k; I've made my point , now here comes the best bit.....
The good news is that there is a new global interconnectedness and the potential for change is very real.
Anyone can choose to wake up on any given day and make a completely new start, and there are limitless resources within and without!
Sometimes its as simple as just getting up and being happy that you have two legs to dance on...
It would be easy to focus on depression, list it’s many attributes, quote frightening statistics and bemoan the fact that so much pain occurs.
However as a fan of the Law of Attraction, I believe that a new focus and new experiences are the only way forward.
If we go down into ourselves, we find that we possess exactly what we desire. - Simone Weil
The strategies I talk about on this website have been designed to facilitate productive self growth.
Every day is a chance to start again.
There is a very real possibility that this generation could be the first to see a very real and potent difference in the health and happiness of women, not just a different version of the same trends.
“I'm becoming more and more myself with time. I guess that's what grace is. The refinement of your soul through time.” - Jewel
Suddenly many women can see the difference, and as described in the following song they can become role models for others to see themselves in a new light.
There is a reason why every self help guru around speaks emphatically about the issue of authenticity.
I aim to try and distill the very best and most up to date information from all of them plus tips and anecdotes I have discovered myself, and from other women in order to keep you informed.
Breaking stories which are relevant to women’s authenticity will be highlighted.
Please enjoy your free gift and join our community and become part of the wave which will breathe life back into the hearts and minds of women everywhere.
Here comes the sun!
