Imagine
a
woman
who
believes
it
is
right
and
good
she
is
a
woman.
A
woman
who
honors
her
experience
and
tells
her
stories.
Imagine
a
woman
who
believes
she
is
good.
A
woman
who
trusts
and
respects
herself.
Who
listens
to
her
needs
and
desires
and
meets
them
with
tenderness
and
grace.
Imagine
a
woman
who
has
acknowledged
the
past's
influence
on
the
present.
A
woman
who
has
walked
through
her
past.
Who
has
healed
into
the
present.
Imagine
a
woman
who
authors
her
own
life.
A
woman
who
exerts,
initiates
and
moves
on
her
own
behalf.
Who
refuses
to
surrender
except
to
her
truest
self
and
her
wisest
voice.
Imagine
a
woman
in
love
with
her
own
body.
A
woman
who
believes
her
body
is
enough,
just
as
it
is.
Who
celebrates
her
body
and
its
rhythms
and
cycles
as
an
exquisite
resource?
Imagine
a
woman
who
celebrates
the
accumulation
of
her
years
and
her
wisdom.
Who
refuses
to
use
precious
energy
disguising
the
changes
in
her
body
and
life.
Imagine
a
woman
who
values
the
women
in
her
life.
A
woman
who
sits
in
circles
of
women.
Who
is
reminded
of
the
truth
about
herself
when
she
forgets.
