Stepping into Softness as a Woman in Mid-Life!

Hello there!

I hosted a beautiful women’s circle the other night, in person, here in the desert with my Creative Women’s group. We just started meeting once a month back a few ( I would love to hold this circle virtually too, if any of you are interested!), and it is a small, intimate circle of connection, vulnerability, sharing, some tears, some laughter, but a heartfelt time of community, and uplifting each other.

One of my revelations this week is the idea of softness. And even though I love my womanness, my sensuality and sexiness, over the years I had been working gung-ho with all of my businesses, for all of my life. Working 24/7, handling all of the facets of each of my multiple businesses, trying to be wonderwoman.

Yes, many times I was on fire with creation, spirit leading me into more co-creation, excited about all the possibilities. And I love that deep connection with myself and bringing dreams into manifestation.

Yet I lost a lot of my softness. I felt like I had to harden up to get things done. And I did. Somewhere along the way, I lost my juice, my creative passion. Oh, it is still there, but in a smaller force.

And I want it back! I am claiming it now. And it feels delicious.
