So how many of you identify with this quote?
by susan mernit

The Renegade Goddess, a NYC-area professional on a journal of personal and erotic exploration chronicled in her blog, had this to say recently:

"In truth, I have spent my entire life being frightened of my own sexuality. It felt too big too me. And there was some kind of fear…that if I truly embraced my sexual self as a part of my whole self…that I would get into some kind of “Big Trouble”. So if I boxed it up….contained it….married it up….that somehow…I would be safe from myself. The fact is…I couldn’t contain it…my sexuality leaked out all over the place…in unconscious ways.
But once I consciously uncovered and owned…my own unique beauty, my own sexuality and my own sense of self without all of the self imposed morality….judgements…roles….excess weight….work…and boundaries…the magic began to really unfold."

Anyone see their own issues in this post? I do.

Becoming A Woman...and other truths

When we hold the mirror up to ourselves and really look, I mean really look, then we start the process of becoming a woman. Seeing our naked selves as lovely and beautiful and strong. Our sexualness isn't tied to some ridiculous notion of fairy-tales and fantasy. Our sexual selves are rooted in the organic here and now. I feel therefore I am. The Renegade Goddess is onto something--now therein lies the magic--owning who we are and keeping the opinions of the world and well-meaning others out. This is the kind of woman I dreamed I would be--so full and so connected and so divine.
