The Beauty of a Woman

Image
The Beauty of a Woman... The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, The figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes, Because that is the doorway to her heart, The place where love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, The passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman With time, only grows.. *** Beauty Facts on Figures... ~ There are 3 billion women who don't look like super models, and only eight who do. ~ Did you know Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14 ? ~ If Barbie was a real woman, she'd have to walk on all FOURS due to her proportions! ~ The average woman weighs 144 pounds, and wears between a size 12-14. ~ One out of every 4 college-aged women has an eating disorder. ~ The Models in the magazines are AIRBRUSHED!!! - NOT Perfect!! ~ A psychological study in 1995 found that 3 minutes spent looking at a

A Quantum Focus

Good Day Sisters, I found this piece helpful to me and seemingly very wise so I wanted to share it. Blessed Be... Amara Focus On The Solution According to Quantum Physics, focusing actually causes changes in energy fields that automatically produce a physical change in your surroundings. Instead of focusing on the problem, you need to focus on the solution — the outcome that you desire. Unfortunately 95% percent of people focus on what they fear, instead of what they want out of life. It’s kind of like driving down the road and seeing a pothole. If you focus intently on staring at the pothole, intending to miss it, what happens? Of course! You run smack dab into it. It’s the same in all areas of life. When you focus on your fears, you make them your reality. Focus on doing exactly what it takes to get the outcome you want. With that in mind, it’s easy to see that the key to success is this: The more you focus on what you Want, the more your desires will manifest themselves in your life

We are the Creators

Leucotea Con Dionisio We are the creators. Natural law is our medium. Patience, courage, and belief are the colors we need to create the world we truly want. Do I believe the world I long for is out of my control and beyond my power to change? Or do I believe the world I long for is possible and that my efforts to create such a world will prevail? How many times have we seen one small person change the world? Amara ”The Universe only says “Yes” to whatever we’re thinking. Yes, come unto me this thing I Want, and Yes, come unto me this thing I Don’t Want. We attract whatever we choose to give our attention to whether it is Wanted or UN-Wanted.” ~ Abraham-Hicks

Learning to Love Yourself

Image
It Begins With You... We've all heard it countless times before, "To experience true love, we first must love ourselves," or some variation of such. However it is stated, the importance of self love is vital to becoming a healthy, whole, human being. We are all children of the universe, created out of love. We accept and love other people, animals, nature, all that comes from the same source as we do. We too then, are worthy of our own love. To honor oneself with love and acceptance is to honor the universe that created us. Self love is about fully embracing oneself, realizing one's strengths and accepting one's flaws. Self love is not about being self-centered or self-absorbed, which is based on insecurity and not knowing oneself. True self love is a guarantee that we will not succumb to such selfish pursuits. For if we truly love ourselves we know that we do not need to be the best looking, most talented, or have the most possessions. When we love ourselves, we

What Is The Point??

My Dearest Sisters, It has not escaped notice that the majority of you have not yet signed our petition. Presumably there is a reason you are unsupportive of the initiative. A couple of you have contacted me stating misgivings such as "what is the point?" or "what benefit would the trans community get out of this?". I am actually quite surprised at these questions and the silent resistance that most of you are conveying. I thought "the point" would be obvious, but since it's not, I will do my best to explain. Question: What is the point of petitioning the only world-wide body which represents peace on earth to recognize you as equal human beings? 1) Violence Against Transwomen is Alarmingly High Human Rights Campaign claims that 1 out of every 12 transgendered persons in the United States will die by murder. Visibly transgendered sisters have an 8.3% chance of being murdered!!! compared to .0055% chance within the general population. (please bear

Transgender Petition to the United Nations

Image
As citizens of the world, we petition the United Nations to revise the Universal Declaration of Human Rights from "all women and men" to "all people". The United Nations stands for human equality and freedom from discrimination for any reason, including gender. Yet the term "women and men" is exclusionary of all people whose gender cannot be described by either category. We also urge that you change the term "sex" to "gender", within Article 2, "Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status." The transgender population of the world is rapidly growing, yet we face grave misunderstanding, prejudice and injustice on a daily basis. In the absence of recognition as a distinct and equal subset of humanity, transgendered people do no

A Life Lesson in Trans-Femininity

Imagine yourself as a five-foot-five, slim, curvaceous, and amazingly attractive woman, the best looking woman in the casino night club, a fem fatale. It’s after hours, but the club is bustling with activity. Now see yourself saunter like a feline into the center bar filled to maximum capacity with all sorts of upscale ladies and gents. Imagine that all eyes fixate on your every movement, on your curves, on your lovely feminine features. You take your place at the bar as two seats open up for you and your friend like the parting of the Red Sea. Without even getting the chance to settle in, you are immediately approached by a dark, mysterious looking stranger, and then another, and then another. In fact, a half dozen men are vying for your attention simultaneously each trying to outdo their competitors to get close to you, to win some conversation time with you. The women examine you from afar, admiringly and often with envy. For the next several hours, you are inundated by countless of

Beautiful Fields

Image
A sacred ground where many holy wars have been fought My teachers told me long ago, the war to end all wars would be fought here The blood that has fed this ground for millennia is mine What a beautiful field this land has become Its rolling pastures betrays its bloody past and its dangerous remains Yet I still crawl across its rich and fertile soil with javelin scar on my side For there are many, many mines in places to numerous to remember And though the war has been fought and won on this front I must remove the traps of death I laid in the distant and violent past In silence I find them as I inch my way forward With my dagger prodding the gentile earth With each sink of the blade I close my eye Yet with expert skill, I still await the blast that has fallen many In my quite and tranquil fields I have not forgotten, Lord knows I have not forgotten A great iron thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death in the ski That rained pain and longing on my mortal soul My field is rich now and

"The Secret" ~ Campari Ad

My Son Wears My Clothes

Image
“Mom can I go through your make-up drawers and take some stuff you’re not using anymore?” “Mom can I borrow some of your clothes?” “Mom does my hair look all right?” “Mom do you have any shoes that would fit me?” “Mom do these clothes look good together?” These are some of the questions I have been asked over the years from not my daughter, but my teenage son. When he was growing up I missed all the signs that my son could possibly be transgendered. Perhaps it’s because I am such an open person and always tried to encourage my kids to be who ever they wanted to be and to follow their dreams. I have never hid my trans friends from them. I wanted them to grow up accepting everyone and I believe I have accomplished that task. They thought nothing of coming home from school and finding me and a bunch of tgirls sitting in the living room gabbing. They were never embarrassed to invite their friends over were mine were there. Even when they were old enough to make choices for themselves, they

I Emailed The United Nations

I emailed the United Nations today. I am not sure how far it will go or if they will even read it but at least I tried and I will keep trying. Dear Secretary General, Members of State and Representatives. After reading through the Declaration of human rights, I believe it is of utmost importance to request an International Transgender day. There are far too many hate crimes against individuals in the TG Community. These include physical attacks, verbal abuse and even murder. The road to recognizing and understanding Transgender people must begin somewhere. The sooner this happens, the better. Transgender people should not have to live in fear. You're Declaration of rights states: "Article 1.All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. Article 2.Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any
