Changing HerStory (part 3)

I have several ideas for changing the legacy women now and for future generations. One is talking to you. I want to connect, communicate and hear about your successes and what you are doing to affect a positive future for daughters and granddaughters. If you’re interested in talking with me one on one please send me a message. Stay to the end because I have a special idea to share with you that I created for my granddaughter. You may find it fun and helpful for your own children.

Part three of Changing HerStory starts now. Change for the Future Starts with Ourselves Now

Take off the pussy hats, blow out the vagina scented candles, and screaming about your rights while pulling up your shirt. That isn’t progressive leadership for women, it’s pent up rage over trauma carried for years showing up in a public display of self-exploitation begging for validation.

Quit calling a one nightstand a win for female sexual empowerment. Is that really want your daughter’s daughter to believe? That anybody can get inside her once and that makes her more powerful? That being treated little better than a blow up doll is great for her self-esteem? Buy into that belief and pass it on to your descendants benefits exactly who?

This endless cycle of women never gaining traction of respect, recognition, and clear evidence that we deserve the same treatment as any man is apparent everywhere in our society. The woman who keeps silent in her own home and builds her world around the needs and desires of her man - sometimes even dealing with narcissistic abuse because she is too fearful of being on her own. She goes to work and keeps herself small in the boardroom, silencing her great ideas because she’s afraid of looking foolish, or speaking her mind and being considered a bitch.

I’ll stop going on about the bad examples we set without realizing – you get it – but what some don’t get is the ripple affect to our daughters. How they pick up what we do and think it is how to behave. Woman power is making the temple of her body and playground for any dumbass that charms her. We can’t wonder why she let’s a boyfriend put her down in public or lock her in a bathroom and beat the shit out of her and say anything - - because they see us accepting less, being small, and keeping quiet.

What we should be teaching is how to be a whole human being. A woman who respects and loves herself and sets up her life with intention and goals that fulfill her desires and needs, and feeds her soul. A woman who gravitates to healthy relationships that are collaborative, loving, and equally giving and considerate. A woman who puts herself first in her life by nurturing her inner world with love, peace, acceptance and brings that completeness into the world with kindness and not moving through the external world seeking to find someone to give her what she needs, because she has already built it from within.

I have two things to share in helping anyone interested in building connections and strategically designing a life of fulfillment through positive and conscious intent.

The first is the I AM Cards. I created the cards, inspired by the I AM Day movement created by two Substack authors. The cards are a self-image, self-confidence, and self-discovery concept which can be ‘played’ in a family setting, or can be used/answered through journaling. (available in my store in November)

The second announcement is a course I have been working on called New Horizons Life Map Game Plan:

I believe that it is never too early or too late in life to make a definitive plan and goals for what we want for our lives. It isn’t enough to simply think we want something which is what most of us do. But when you write things down, think about why we want a certain goal, and then proactively determine how we can make it happen and in what realistic timeline, our success in achieving a future we dream of is all the more likely to come into being.

All that is necessary is for you to start making decisions and begin the process of designing a future you wish to live. Your life is not only about what you want right now but where you want to be in one, five, or ten years, and you can create a strategic design built to your specifications, desires, needs, and the necessary resources to reach those goals.

As a project manager for eight years, I know the value of planning for even the smallest objectives. Results. I believe if we make a conscious plan for our life goals. instead of losing site of hopes, wishes, and dreams, each of us can experience far more life success stories. The New Horizons Map Game Plan is aimed to guide you through a series of exercises for regaining internal peace, personal identity, and goal setting for a joyful and fulfilling life. You will build a map to help keep focus and measure progress. (course available in November)

Life is a journey. Does anyone leave for a trip without preparing themselves, their car, their route, their suitcase, their snacks, and money? Hell to the N.O.! We have lists and maps to get us where we want to arrive. So, I hope you’ll think about signing up for my course and I will share links soon.
