Are you a woman in the glorious second half of your life? If the answer is yes, then you are moving toward or already in an exciting new phase of your life.
These days, more people than ever are actually living to a hundred years old and more. The possibility of a long, glorious, and meaningful second half of life is very real!
It’s time to break out the champagne and celebrate! There are wonderful reasons to welcome this new season of rebirth and renewal.
You have spent decades in the first half your life dedicated to something outside of yourself, usually some combination of your formal education, career, marriage, and/or family.
It’s now your time to explore new possibilities, challenge old limitations, and find a profound sense of purpose. You have the potential to fully and authentically become who you are meant to be. The sky is the limit!
Here are just some of the possibilities for self-exploration: creativity, travel, a new business, a worthy cause, hidden talents, new skills, the joy of learning, your spirituality.
Many of you can celebrate how young you still look and feel. If that statement doesn’t yet ring true for you, then you can now focus on your health, self-care, beauty and rejuvenation of mind-body-spirit.
This new level of personal exploration, self-knowledge and authenticity has the effect of “amping-up” your vibrancy, magnetism, charisma, and personal presence.
By expressing your passion and connecting with your Feminine Essence, you can be seen, heard, and understood more than at any other time your life. By taking action, you can be a part of making this world a more loving and compassionate place.
I’d like to share some inspirational prose by the famous author Anonymous. It was included in my training when I became a licensed Art of Feminine Presence teacher. I have paraphrased it a bit to make it especially meaningful to our tribe of Glorious Golden Goddesses.
What is a Goddess?
A goddess is a woman who emerges from deep within herself. She is a woman who has honestly explored her darkness and learned to celebrate her light. She is a woman who is able to fall in love with the magnificent possibilities within her. She is a woman who knows of the magic and mysterious places inside her, the sacred places that can nourish her soul and make her whole.
She is a woman who radiates light. She walks into a room and male and female alike feel her presence. She has power and softness at the same time. She has an allure that is not dependent on physical looks. She is comfortable in her own skin and it shows by the way she lives and moves in it. She cherishes beauty, light, and love.
She is a mother to all children. She flows with life in effortless grace. She can heal with a look or a touch of hand. She is compassion and wisdom. She is a seeker of truth and cares deeply about something bigger than herself. She is a woman who knows that her purpose in life is to reach higher and rule with love. She knows that joy is her destiny and by embracing it and sharing it with others, wounds are healed.
She is a woman who has come to know that her partner is as tender, lost, and frightened as she has been at times. She has come to understand the scars of the child within and knows that together, love can be the relief, the healing of their wounds.
She is a woman who can accept herself as she is. She can accept another as they are. She is able to forgive her mistakes and not feel threatened by another’s even when attacked. She is a woman who can ask for help when she needs it or give it when asked. She respects boundaries, hers and another’s.
She can see God in another’s eyes. She can see God in her own. She can see God in every life situation. She is a woman who takes responsibility for everything she creates in her life. She is a woman who is totally supportive and giving. She is a Goddess.
