I Am A Woman
I am grateful to be a woman. Yes, I love chocolate. I can be moody and I definitely have scuffs on my wheels from just barely miscalculating that curb… and really, that is not just a woman thing… let’s be honest now, men do it just as often.
I am a powerful woman. I am small in size, but powerful in every way. I am not afraid. I am brave. I know I can accomplish anything. I am a Woman. Because of the history of Women’s rights, I am living a life unlike most women in the history of the world. I am blessed to be a woman.
The heart of a woman is creation. Because of the body I have as a woman, I have created 4 people. Four little boys grew in my body. Each of them had their time and my belly grew as their life began. I gave my body to them, because I am a woman. I gave birth to each one through the channels of what a woman is physically. It was painful and hard and of course I did it because I am a woman.
Each one of those babies turn to me with mouths searching and I feed them and nourish them; once again, because I am a woman. My body turned my blood to milk to feed them and they continue to live because I am a woman.
I wouldn’t become a mother without a man. Their father held me so close and cherished me. His touch created life within me because I am a woman. My body cycles through chemicals and the emotions that coincide. They all represent the phases of creation, reminding me each month that I am a woman and I create life and nourish life and am life.
With the mind I have as a woman, I have learned. I understand and know how to do incredible things that have changed the world in ways only I could. I walk with a quick step, multi task and smile as I do it all. As a woman, I have more to orchestrate than you can imagine.
In this world, I own property and manage it. I own a business and run it. I make business deals and drive commerce. I vote. I pay taxes. I am a writer. I am an artist. I am a lover. I run a household. I maintain vehicles and drive them. I make dinner for my children and love each one of them. I read books and write them. I kiss owies better and take care of the yard. I laugh, I cry, I feel, I know, but mostly I love. All this because I am a woman.
I have been widowed, because I am a woman. I work to support my family and I do it all as a woman without a man. In another world, all the things I do wouldn’t be possible. It’s not because I’m not capable, but because the history of women and our rights has been an evolution, a discovery. A discovery of this power contained within these beautiful, soft, curvy and usually smaller bodies than our male counterparts.
As a woman, I create with my great heart. I am a perfect representation of the very beginning of life. What begins as human life, only inside a woman, is what represents the possibility of that same woman’s potential. It is limitless. I draw to me the power of love, creation and ability through the tenderness in my woman heart. I give from my heart; love, understanding, and compassion as I use my heart to navigate this life.
I am grateful to be a woman. I am grateful for the way I was made. I’m glad for the heart I have and the way my body works. I am especially grateful for how my mind works and bringing all these aspects together creates a power. This power, when given it’s opportunity can create and accomplish and maximize every aspect of life into its greatest potential.
I am grateful for the women who have come before me. The ones who have stood up for their potential and created out of that our rights. And because of that, I am a woman who has no limits to what I can do, create and become. All as I shape the lives, hearts and minds of 4 little men.
Because of the history of my sisters, I am a single woman who is a mother with the right to vote and have property in my own name. I write and my voice is heard in my own name. I run a business and provide jobs for men and women to support their families. It is a beautiful circle of life that is created.
We’ve all created as women. Because I am a woman, I am powerful and I am limitless. I am here now, living in a world that celebrates the capacity of life. Thank you sisters, thank you all for being the woman you are. Thank you for giving me the life I have to create a better world. And I create because I am a woman.
