Wonderful Wild Women

When you think about the women in your life: are they wild, are they wonderful and powerful? Do they eat mangoes naked and run through wet grass under the moonlight? Do they love with their whole hearts and cry with their soul? Do they always put others before themselves, knowing deep down that their generosity will be returned when they least expect it? Every woman I know is wild, beautiful and full of light - some of them just don't know it yet.

If you are a woman who has not yet realised her succulence, who tends to feel unworthy, overweight and under-nourished on a soul level, who wishes for more yet can't figure out what she needs, then this is for you.

You are creative beyond measure, you are more powerful than a hundred warriors, you can change lives with just one smile and you have the ability to live a life of adventure, wonder and unlimited love. You are not who the mean people think you are, you are a Goddess of the world, here to help others see beauty through your magnificence. You are the heart of a flower, full of sweet nectar, soft petals and a rooted stem. You're grounded, confident, wondrous and powerful. You are a force of nature.

Instead of worrying about what others think, how you look in that tight dress, which heels make your legs look longer, how to please your boss and when to say the right thing, LET GO. Be the essence of a wild woman:

• Accept your power
• Say no to friends who expect too much
• Tell the truth
• Create miracles
• Make choices that make you feel alive
• Do the first thing that pops into your head
• Stop overanalysing and JUMP

My wish for you today is to honour yourself. See the beauty that everyone else sees - see it in yourself and in every other woman you meet today. We are all wonderfully wild women in search of our pack - make your pack today by admiring the women around you and inviting them to join you in celebrating your woman-ness together:

• Drink wine out of goblets on a picnic blanket while watching girly movies
• Go to the theatre wearing fancy hats and long gloves
• Throw a paint party where everyone gets to wear black plastic bags and finger-paint pictures
• Blend your own tea and then serve it with cucumber sandwiches and classical music
• Dress in your sexiest outfits and dance to 80s music in your friend's lounge
• Eat whatever you like and share the joy of not feeling guilty
• Cut up the clothes you don't like and stick the pieces onto a jacket to make something retro
• Write a love letter to your best friend on a white pillow case so she always has it next to her
• Ask your friends to send you 3 messages about why they love you (then write them down and stick them on your wall!)
• Take your mom and best friend for a massage and then paint eachother's nails bright colours
• Write vows to yourself, to always honour and cherish yourself until death do you part

To all the incredible women in my life, old and new, young and wise - thank you. You have made me feel alive!
