The first one!
This was going to be deeply philosophical and very navel-gazing, but the sun is setting over the high-rise, river's glistening and.........there's dinner to cook and clothes shopping to try on.
Something very important to remember: women think about the world from different levels and at different levels. Diversity needs to be respected. I work hard and I like the commercial power that gives me.
Today, i had the fact that sometimes it's good to have people around and sometimes it's equally peaceful and comforting to have no-one about. I have a physical disability and three university degrees (Just in case you were thinking......), and have spend the weekend with my partner. But to go out and do business (bills) and shopping alone today was so powerful. It remnded me that although the government, welfare system, society and patriarchy might seek to displace me from places of personal, economic and social power, there are subtle ways to maintain and adjust the balance. This includes keeping a sense of myself as a powerful, autonomous woman.
This blog is to honour, reassert, nuture and raise up the powerful, autonomous woman in us all
