So I went to buy a book at Barnes and Noble today with my girls, and they didn’t have the book I wanted in. Someone had purchased the last copy. (Sad face) I wanted to share the book; it’s called Women Living Deliciously by Florence Given. Man, I was prepared for them to have noContinue reading “Book Shopping”

Eye Roll It’s a Me Problem
“The age of a woman doesn’t mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson My eyes immediately rolled after this. I think it’s a sign that I need to put aging gracefully into action. I’ve got my 40th birthday coming up in the fall; I’m not sure howContinue reading “Eye Roll It’s a Me Problem”
Sleepy Thoughts
“You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it’s right.” — Rosa Parks I’m tired today. I noticed this morning that I wrote last night’s blog and forgot to hit publish. That’s very frustrating for me. But hey, here we are again, writing before bed. Still thinking about femininity. Still having toContinue reading “Sleepy Thoughts”
You’re Worthy of Your Desires
“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”
“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming.” -Pablo Neruda It’s coming, and we can’t slow it down. Spring is a welcomed season. Most people perk up, get outside, or maybe even start making summer plans. Spring means so many good things! For me, it’s feeling like myself again. I’mContinue reading
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”
