“Empathy is choosing to see ourselves in another despite our differences. It’s recognizing that the same humanity – the same desire for meaning, fulfillment and security – exists in each of us, even if it’s expressed uniquely.” -Vivek Murthy March 30th, 2025, is when I started this journey toward embracing my femininity. After a fewContinue reading “You’re Worthy of Your Desires”

Jung on Feminine
“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” -Carl Jung I’ve been listening to Carl Jung videos on YouTube to explore his idea of femininity. He theorized the Anima and Animus. He says the Anima is the divine feminine in aContinue reading “Jung on Feminine”
Femininity
“Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.” – Garson Kanin I started to look more into femininity and I found that 54% of women 65+ felt highly feminine in comparison to only 20% of women between the ages of 18-29. I think several factors are at play here. And now I’mContinue reading “Femininity”
When A Woman Stands Up For Herself
“Each time a woman stands up for herself, she stands up for all women.” –Maya Angelou I don’t think women should be pressured to stand up, but I do think that the women who do choose to stand up should recognize the liberation of their choice, no matter how big or small. I like toContinue reading “When A Woman Stands Up For Herself”
Women Come Together
“Any time women come together with a collective intention, it’s a powerful thing. Whether it’s sitting down making a quilt, in a kitchen preparing a meal, in a club reading the same book, or around the table playing cards, or planning a birthday party, when women come together with a collective intention, magic happens.” -PhyliciaContinue reading “Women Come Together”
Today’s Hike
“An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.” -Henry David Thoreau I got to take my girls on a hike with my class, and we really enjoyed ourselves. It was nice to be outside, moving, and being active while learning about rock formations and seeing a waterfall. My girls paid attention and tookContinue reading “Today’s Hike”
The Dance
I’m getting frustrated about looking into femininity because it’s just a social construct. I just want to do what makes me feel at home in myself. There’s nothing to argue about here or prove when it comes to masculinity or femininity. There are days I allow my masculine traits to take the lead, to giveContinue reading “The Dance”
Trust Your Gut
“Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.” – E. L. Doctorow Writing a novel is like this. Writing a poem is more like feeling your way through your house in the dark before your eyesContinue reading “Trust Your Gut”
The Feminine Feminist
The Feminine Feminist There it is… That is the one. I’ve been exploring femininity lately and it’s been fun! I love that I was reminded that self-care is a basic need, not some silly little feminine desire. It’s human. At the end of the day, I just want a world where women are supported andContinue reading “The Feminine Feminist”
Sleepy Sunday
This was a sleepy Sunday for me. “We must believe we are worthy of rest.” — Tricia Hersey, Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto. I just happened across this quote about rest, and the more I read, the more interested I am in the whole idea of Rest as Resistance. Sleep is so vital. When you’reContinue reading “Sleepy Sunday”
