Do you Celebrate Beauty?

"People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves."

-Selma Hayek

It is really interesting
that what we consider beautiful is deeply Personal.
What makes one woman swoon,
clutch her hands together at her heart and exclain "ohhhhhhh"
may not impress you at all.
But there...did you miss it?
She just revealed to you something deeply personal about herself.
She's revealing her preferences.
This is true for you too.
When you decide to share or acknowledge beauty
you reveal a personal truth.
This Takes Courage.
Especially when you see it in another woman.

Will you celebrate her?
Hold sacred space for her?
You must.
Really.
You signal to the Goddess ..
(the Universe, God)
I am that.
PS As unforgettable as she was in 'Dusk till Dawn' Remember Salma Hayek in her role as Serendipity in 'Dogma'?....I got a dose of inspiration and Serendipity with the creation of my newest candle

Guest Blog- "The Goddess Within" by Sister Goddess Rita

Image
Hello All! Here is a post by our Lovely Rita...        This past spring, I took an amazing class called  “ The Goddess Experience ”. At the start of the class our instructor held a Quartz Crystal in her hand & introduced herself as Goddess Jess. She shared with us that we were going to have the opportunity to boast, share what we were grateful for, as well as any desires we have. She then told us that we were to introduce ourselves as “Goddess ____.” This in and of itself made me giggle, never mind actually SAYING I was a Goddess. How could I say I was a Goddess? How could I BE a Goddess?? That first time introducing myself as a Goddess (which was extremely difficult) was just a brief encounter of The Goddess Within…

An Exercise in Surrender

     Sunday, a handful of brave ladies, ready to show a photographer (named Isis!) their inner goddess, arrived at the shoppe early afternoon.  I knew exactly what I wanted to present to the camera that day, a purely professional website-worthy image..and ended up completly submitting to the suitcases of fun 'costumes' presented to us.      The name of the company is called "For Them or For You Photography" and the line between who these photos were for became more and more blurry for me as the day went on.  The photo below is a hint at what ended up on film..Each woman took some time perusing all the frills and props, and created a lovely landscape of beauty , for their individual shoots. I was so impressed with the level of trust and willingness to enjoy the experience from everyone.... and what eye-candy they all were..I took some cute photos, like these, and can't wait to see the "real images" when the photographer gets them to us in the form of
