I was explaining to my children about how the Celtics revered women as Goddess' and shamans.Women were property owners and also warriors. Since my background is partially the british isle, i knew I was Celtic and since I have an affinity for painting my body blue, I knew I was Druid also. When I began discussing about the powers that women had then and how I felt very comfortable within my own power, that i was a WARRIOR GODDESS,my son accused me of "talking about yourself". As if I was bragging or boasting about "how great I am". Well, in truth, I was sharing with them about my power,strength, and wisdom,and how I have learned to embrace it. How I have learned to love myself,forgive myself, and be grateful for who I am.Not in an unaware manner. Through work, transformation, love, forgiveness, and study I have found my authentic Self, that energy source that infuses us all.And that source is powerful,fabulous, and wise, and that source is ME! ...and you too! I realize that most people won't understand when you tell them how fabulous life is! It IS! Most folks only understand it from the perspective of the 'egoic culture' we live in, not from the spiritual realm. Let it be known, I am beautiful, I am fabulous, I am happy. I AM. Not in an egoic manner associated with pride and bragging but in the true sense of KNOWING.Perhaps,if we can all embrace ourselves, love ourselves, and accept ourselves, the world will be a lot more tolerant with less struggling to prove to others, and much more happy.
