Fully Realized Woman

[njjen3953]

I found this posted to a group I belong to and it is my goal to someday very soon, believe it 100%. I am already 70% there with the help of the love of my life, GuitarPeteTklr.


I am a Beautiful Woman, with a beauty that doesn't wash off. I earned
it, unearthed it, rescued it like a jewel in the dust, picked it up, and
made it shine.

For years I did not see it, although I sensed it
was there. Now, it dazzles and thrives.

I am healthy, capable, independent, strong - yet
still so fragile, floored by a sigh. My body is that
of a creator - angles meeting curves - hardness
drifting into soft.

I am mother, daughter, sister, and lover to myself.
Embraceable and brave,
I extend my heart.

My body is my home - my home to a shrine to life -
comfortable, warm, and rich with treasures.
Mine is the scent of hot spices, caught in a breeze -
mine the laughter that wings through the door. I share myself
only with those who honor me as I am - and I protect myself,
my house, and my time from invaders.

I search for my center, in the midst of chaos - and practice peace, as
wild dogs clamor in my mind. I use power for the greater good, and
release rage in neutral settings - with no one innocent, in the line of fire.

I am learning how to persist, and when to let
go, and I am willing to feel all emotions to their
depths and exaltations - to wake up every nerve,
and no longer be afraid for my life.

Both my beauty and strength transcend with age, time,
and perhaps even
this lifetime.

Each day I am new, yet more at home in myself. Moment by moment, I
create my
world.

Yikes...

Yup...I knew you were a troublemaker the minute we chatted...lol! Hi Jen....personally I think you're more like 90+% there already, ok? I, on the other hand, am still 15 mentally and regressing at an alarming rate into childish behavior! Beware the whoopee cushion! Q

Thanks, Q.

Remember that 15 goes into 36(my age) more times than 36 goes into 15. 😉 😛

it must ba a women thing

i read it twice, and got more confused after the second time through, lol. what i did understand, i thought was hogwash, what i didn't understand (most of it) i figure is ment for women alone, and needs a special decoder ring to decifer.

jen from the e-mails we traded some time ago, and from all the posts of your's that i've read, i think you are a fine person, just as you are. you don't need to live up to some poem, unless of course you want to!
your friend, and fan.

🙂 Thanks Steve. I really appreciate that.

Fan? hmmmm. 😉

Don't try to understand the writing. It probably is more of a woman thing.

😀 Damn Jen, that is beautiful, and just the thing I needed to read on one of my "down on myself" days. It sort of reminds me of a gentler version of Maya Angelou's "Phenominal Woman", and something that I think EVERY woman who is struggling to be the proverbial "suprwoman" whether in appearance, career ,motherhood ect, can relate to. As for you,even though I have never really spoken to you, I would say you are a wonderful courageous women who I hope to meet at a future tickle gathering. Again thanks for the lift!

Very nice and well said, Jen. I think you're fine just the way you are; you're "100% Jen" and the only one in the world who is.😎
