In Pictures: I Am Woman

Speaking as a woman, and for women in general, we love to feast our eyes on the beauty of the male person. What's not to love? Ropes of muscle, overwhelming size and strength, planes and sharp angles. Our eyes soak up the images which translate into stories, fantasies, daydreams...or simply appreciative sighs. But we oftentimes overlook the beauty of ourselves. 

Women are creatures of beauty as well. We are strong, we are light and darkness combined. We are curves and soft spots and smooth edges. We have an inner glow that can just as easily captivate and capture the attention of others - be they male or female. 

In today's pictorial, I celebrate ourselves as women. Not so much for body image (that is completely overrated), but because I love what these pictures embody as a statement of being a woman...

 I have this image on my Facebook page. I love how she continues to move through the tangles of life...



 
We are passionate...


 
 Sheer power and glory. A prayer. A thanksgiving. An image of independence and life...


 
I *love* this image. We are warriors - never forget. Our guises may be different, but we each hold the heart of a warrior within...


Come full circle. We are who we allow ourselves to be from the inside out. Look closely. We are all Queens. We are: Woman. 


Celebrate yourself today - or a special woman you love and adore. And have a wonderful Saturday and weekend ahead.
