I would not change being a woman for anything in this world - I embrace the the entire concept of the power within a womans soul. I think woman are Gods greatest creation, this is not vanity talking - its the sheer concept how how each human being is brought into the world, truly unique that we has woman have been blessed with the responsibility of actually growing a person inside of us and that every emotion and substance we take in is passed on to another being - can you fathom the power in that? Its incredible - sure you need the sperm but thats where it ends really - from there on its your body as a woman that brings life forth. (Not saying that fathers are not important or dont contribute - I know you do).

How did I get here today? Well  I got to the gym this morning, no workout partner today, sometimes have one, sometimes dont. When I dont have either one of my male workout partners with me, the ladies at the gym arent exactly very friendly, now know ahead of time, that I am one of the most approachable woman where woman are concerned - I have a true desire to better our species and will drop my entire workout to help another woman understand the weights section better. So I wanted to use the cable station today and two ladies were busy - but not with the cables, they were doing something with the stability ball and we do have a huge area for this facility - so I ask politely if they have quite a few more sets - they look across, roll their eyes at each other and decide to ignore me - ok so I’m a patient chick with some stuff and so I ask again - at which stage the really big one walks up to me and says very loudly ‘we’re busy ok and we’re done when we’re done’- before I could react, the gym manager who knows me from my regular attendance races over and tells them not to be so rude - so I really didnt need his help as I could have sorted it out myself but amazingly they completely change their reaction and eyes battering tell him they’ll be done in no time! At this stage I decided to just work out elsewhere and leave the negative energy with them.

So ladies I’m writing to this to hopefully influence even on one woman here today - we need to keep our hearts pure - we bring human beings into the world, what kind of creation do you want for the future? Do you want future mankind to grow up with resentment or would you rather pass on strength, security and compassion? We hold so much power and it starts with learning to treat each other with more respect, to be happy for each others successes, to learn from one another, to prosper one another - what we do today influences how our daughters get treated in the future and our sons for that matter.

If you see a woman you admire - then dont be nasty to her, just because someone chooses to take care of themselves doesnt mean that they are ugly vain people, maybe if you reconsidered your attitude you too could attract more of what they have - and just maybe if you gave them a chance they could become an incredible friend to you.

Wear a smile - its better than any lipstick or fragrance you could try to adorn yourself with. (Not that I dont love the girly things - I am true diva but the smile is applied way before the lipstick). Lets try to make the world an easier and better place for each other. I employ mainly woman - the reason I set out to do this was because I was on a mission to show woman that we have the power to enhance each others lives - so I support them with regards to furthering themselves in business and I inspire them to take care of their health, I’m not perfect but I think I can confidently say they will attest to this anyday.

Next time you see a another lady, return the smile or be the first one to give it - just because she smiles doesnt mean that she is going to take your man or show you up, everyone one of us woman has beauty that is most certainly incomparable to each other and trust me - the men that love you can see this. So start by learning to give yourself a whole lot of love first - but dont keep it - pass it on, we can all do our part.

There is greatness and amazing beauty in being blessed with womanhood - celebrate and embrace this and guys make sure to instill this in your daughters so that they too can live the fabulous life every woman deserves to.
