"We are not taught that our bodies are beautiful because they are animated by our spirit." -- Exactly. Imagine if we weren't taught beautiful bodies are only beautiful because they are small, contained, thin.
There is a perfect magic when women come together. I love your piece, it's an ode to womanhood and sisterhood and the power of holding each other. Thank you for writing this and sharing it so that my heart could be warmed by yours this morning. I hope you have a wonderful day! x
Beautiful! I’m coming off a weekend where 24 hours were spent with women, connecting, sharing stories, holding space and making space and I’ll never not be in awe of the power this carries. Thank you for your words. They’re helping me find mine.
I have never felt more held than being in a room of women spanning generations. There is something so beautiful and safe about girls/women at all stages of life being in the same physical space. Thank you for the reminder that we do really belong to each other.
This is so true and beautifully written. We as women, are never taught to celebrate ourselves or each other. For the most part, society puts us in competition with other women and it tears the very fabric of our essence apart. We function so much better as our true selves, when we exist in community with each other. Thank you for writing such a vivid and strong piece x
Lovely post :) It immediately reminds me of the quote from Anne with an E, “oh how I love being a woman!” Sometimes it sucks being a woman, but ultimately I wouldn’t have it any other way 😊
LOVE! Restacked with this note: This. Hit home RN in my last days of being fiftysomething! Everyone who knows me well knows that I don’t censor or censure myself. I don’t even try to restrain my goofiness, my witchiness, my nerdiness, my sultriness, my groan-inspiring punniness, my effusiveness, my kindness, my gushiness….
These qualities are me, they are mine, they go with me and pour forth from me. Wherever I glow, here I AM.
What do you think? Are you more boldly, authentically, passionately you more now than 10, 20, 30 years ago?

Allie, we speak the same language. Beautiful to discover you here. We are indeed wolves when we are at our best 💜
“That is the gift of aging. We don’t lose appeal—we lose the need to explain ourselves.”
I love getting older!
This whole article is such a beautiful example of the way women love. It can be so simple x

Beautiful, liked it immediately after reading the first couple sentences
Ooof this hits. I’m always grappling with the indoctrination we all face of constantly judging our worth by our looks and not our spirit.

This captures so many sacred female elements, I don’t know where to start and will say an enormous thank you instead.
