Summer Solstice and female empowerment – thats what I’m thinking about today.
Im sat her in my garden in the beautiful sunshine surrounded by my plants and a paddling pool thats slowly filling up lol. This garden has been one I have taken time with this year. As I connect more deeply with nature and the cycle of the seasons in nature I am pulled here more often.
I would love to say its a perfectly manicured garden with lush fruits and vegetables. Truth be told I am still very much a beginner at growing things. I love herbs and vegetables, I lvoe the idea of throwing them all in my cauldron and creating medicine. But I am a mum of two, run my own business and have to fit in silly things like eating, sleeping and exercising into my already packed week.
It is however a true reflection of me. Its a little thrown together but with love and hope!
Summer solstice is on its way, one of my favourite times of year. Nature is in full bloom with such promise through this season. I look forward to the berries, the veg and hopefully the cucumbers!
This time of year for me reflects the true nature of female empowerment. Nature is wild and untamed, she is creative and full of life. She is not supposed to be hounded by messages of being ‘less’ or being smaller. Very different from the messages Im seeing all over the internet right now!
Slim down, tone up, lose the mum fat, lose the belly fat, lose the wrinkles, flatten out the face – NO!
I’m calling a big fat NO on it all.
Summer is about being FULL, being free and wild and all the things we have been denied for centuries. It is about being outside with dirt on our feet, sun in our eyes and wind in our hair. I dont give a flying f33k what people want me to look like or how they want me to act. I am divine female empowerment in physical form.
So you will find me in my garden, or in the woods, possibly in a bikini or maybe even nude! You will find me enjoying this season of abundance with no guilt or shame – would you like to join me!
