all about women The beliefs we have about ourselves, about what we should have accomplished, about how we should behave, about what a mother, family, or wife is determine whether we are satisfied with ourselves and ultimately whether we love and accept ourselves.
Many women feel frustration and even self-hatred or at least disappointment surrounding their roles as wives, lovers, career women, and mothers. They hold themselves to standards that are based on rules. These rules are based on beliefs about what a woman is.
Women do have a quest at this time in our culture. It is the quest to fully embrace their feminine nature, learning how to value themselves as women and heal the deep wound of the feminine.[i]
What is the deep wound of the feminine? For at least over 4500 years, women, most particularly, woman's sexuality, has been the domain of the men in their lives; whether it be fathers, brothers, husbands, lovers, or even judges. I am not launching a feminist tirade, but it is critical to acknowledge where we've come from and what the past was like for women who came before us.

I had a very unsatisfying lunch today. ho hum.

Hi Michael or Anthony! I love "horses" too! *wink wink*
Didn't we have a big long thread about that some time ago?
I am gassy.
My eyes are glassy.
What's that you say, Lassie?
Timmy drank a half bottle of Scotch and is posting in random threads... from down the well?
It's that snappy dialogue that makes this place so classy.
