Celebrate Your Femininity
by Anne W. Martin of Little Boppers™
What things make you feel the most feminine? Beautiful clothes…soft sweet-smelling hair…the attention of the opposite sex…the curves of your body? How about pregnancy and giving birth? What could be more feminine than bearing and nurturing children? Our bodies, and their incredible life-giving powers, are the essence of womanhood. They deserve to be celebrated! And not just by our menfolk…by ourselves, as well. Our menstrual cycles are the perfect monthly affirmation of our special feminine capabilities. During those few days each month, we can and should take that opportunity to appreciate ourselves. Looking inward and taking time to pamper our minds and bodies will allow us to replenish the well from which the rest of the family draws; the well of our Love. Taking leisurely baths, lighting candles, writing in a journal, curling up in pajamas to read a favorite novel…these are examples of ways we can honor ourselves. The days of our period are the perfect time to do this. Prepare to baby yourself starting with the first day of your very next period. Your family will thank you for it. How can you do this if you have been socialized to dread your oncoming period, seeing it as a nuisance or a curse? Try to realize that your menstrual cycle is a wonderful thing. It’s a clear sign of your fertility, your womanliness.
