The Writing Goddess

I've been thinking recently. I've been thinking about how I treat myself and how I think about myself and how I dream for myself. And quite honestly, I'm disgusted. I spend a good portion of each day filling my body and mind with unhealthy stuff. I constantly tear myself down in my mind and with my spoken words. And it seems that some time ago I lost the ability to really dream. And that is just not okay with me. And so, I am going to start acting like the goddess that I am. This is a journey to change my thoughts, my body, my outlook, my self.
So, I'm going to start by answering the questions that appear in the badass quote at the bottom of this blog. And then each day I shall approach that day with the answers to those questions in mind. Each day I shall see myself as the manifestation of the Divine that I am. I'm not dumb enough to think that this will erase all my negative thoughts and actions. No, this is a journey. And this blog is a chronicle of that journey. I give myself permission to fuck things up over and over again, and to ultimately change the path that I am on. So, here we go.

If I treated myself like a goddess for a day, I would do only those things that affirmed me and affected my life in a positive way. I would stand outside while it snowed with my arms outstretched and my face looking at the sky. I would relish each individual moment spent with my children. I would take time to write a poem.

If I treated myself like a goddess for a day, I would feed myself whole natural foods that fuel my body and give me energy. I would stop filling myself with sugar and fast food that are not only making my waistline expand, but ultimately shortening the life that I share with my family. I would take care of myself with the same dedication and devotion that I take care of my children. Because they deserve a mother who is whole. I would revere myself with a positive thought while glancing in the mirror.

If I treated myself like a goddess for a day, I would create prayers of thanksgiving. I would spend the whole day reminding myself of everything that I have that I am so very thankful for.

If I treated myself like a goddess for a day, I would create a ritual of honoring my body. I would take a bath, washing each part of myself while speaking of the beauty and originality of each part. I would speak words of love to the body that has heard so many words of disrespect and hate come out of my mouth.

If I treated myself like a goddess for a day, my name would be Sophia because I want to live knowing that true wisdom knows that it knows not.

If I treated myself like a goddess for a day, I would wear red. I would go head to toe in hot sexy red, because I am a hot sexy goddess.

If I treated myself like a goddess for a day, my worshipers would consist of only those who recognize that they too hold the Divine within them.

If I treated myself like a goddess for a day, I would expect to be treated with love.
