Woman



*********************************************

I Am Woman is a network dedicated to empowering and motivating the young woman through transformational thinking.

As women we have the tendency to believe that we will never be more than our “greatest mistake”. We are taught to lean more on men than we are ourselves and we are instilled to aspire for two things: marriage and children. And while barring children is the greatest gift any woman can give to the world, it is NOT the only thing we are capable of achieving. We are more than our hips, breast and butt size. We are more than long hair, pretty faces and nice skin. We are women designed to change the world one gentle voice at a time. So, it is to our belief that replacing negative thought with positive one will allow a person to tap into the truest of their potential. We believe that if you can condition your mind, you can condition your life; ultimately resulting in living life that is of satisfaction to you.

We want you to understand that despite any preconceived notions people may have of you, you have the power to release those chains that hold you captive, rise up and become the woman you always envisioned yourself to be.

We encourage you to:

Live without Permission.


http://www.iam-woman.org/about-us/


I am so many things, yet I am nothing. I am a heartbeat with soul. I am woman with purpose. I am intellect possessing the power to heal lives with my tongue, birth futures with my hips. I. Am. Beauty with eyes so bright you can see your reflection in; skin sun-kissed by the lips of God; pain hidden so deep within this smile…illuminating the hearts of men showing no sign of weakness…I am strength. Mother to his legacy. Ruler of his nation. I am Queen without her King. I am love with the power to motivate. I. Am. Woman. Breeder of life. Creator of vision. I am all these things and more, and yet I am still nothing.

As women we are often lead to believe that a decision must be made between having a career or having a family, but in no way are we allowed to have both. We are lead to believe that our only primary goal or “function” should to be get married and birth man’s seed. However, we are so much more than our childbearing hips capable of achieving any and everything that we set our minds to.

Do not let fear overcome you. Do not let man overpower you.

You are equal.

You are beautiful.

You are smart.

You are powerful.

Life flows through your veins resting in the beat of your heart.

You are woman.

Strong and mighty.

Live confidently.

"In the face of a colossal onslaught, Hillary’s voters have shown dignity, courage and resilience, defying relentlessly negative media narratives and personal attacks to express their support for Hillary. Their indomitability mirrors Hillary’s."

When I voted in 2008 for Barack Obama, I was very aware of the people on whose shoulders I was standing. Casting that particular vote felt both sacred and solemn. When I cast my vote for Hillary Clinton for President, I will be casting a vote for my suffragette great-grandmothers, for my grandmothers who dared to enter male-dominated careers, for my mother who worked globally to bring healthcare to women and equal rights to all people, and for the young women who will stand on my shoulders.

IMO, it is the BEST of so many good ones of that rally that showed that Haters lose, often with egg on their faces.

That protest may end up providing Hillary with MORE votes than fewer.

It is inspirational and illustrates the difference between the two campaigns in a nutshell!
