The Scars We Carry


 

We all carry scars in our life.  We carry scars from our upbringing.  We carry scares from our childhood relationships, as well as our adult relationships.  We carry scars from our intimate relationships.  We also carry the scars of our drive to successful lives and scars from the failures in our lives.  We women specialize in carrying scars from trying to remain attractive everyday.  And for those of us women who become mothers, we carry the scars of childhood. 

All of our scars comes with some lesson of our humanity and the world around us.  We can look at our scars in one of two ways.  We can see them and cower or shrink from the lessons they've taught us.  Or we can stand tall and take ownership that we survived the scars that came with the lessons we've learned.

I adore my life scars.  I've learned from the emotional scars from my failed marriage.  I embrace the stretch mark scars on my belly from my three children.  I see the sunlight behind me knowing that part of my life has passed.  I'm living forward into a newer and more mindful life.  But, that was not before I was going to discover and create newer lessens from scars I created living wildly after my divorce.

"Shere Hite Once Said..."

Shere Hite once said, "We should call sex something else and it should include everything from kissing to sitting close together."  If she were alive today, I wonder what she would want to call sex today if she saw a picture of me showing off my breasts and vagina to thousands of men and women, and getting them to actually connect with the humanity of their own sexuality?  I wonder how she would feel if she then knew that I managed to find six sexy and classy female friends to do the same with me?  We call ourselves the Sensuous Seven.  So there I was 45, the mother of three children, stuck in transitional stages of a failing marriage and dead-end career, wondering what was the next big challenge of my life...to sort of rule the world.  Was this all of the advancement that my mother and her mother had fought for from the late 1940s and late 1980s? Well, I and my girlfriends have decided to turn over the social apple cart.  We decided that we were going to r...

"Find A Job That You Enjoy Doing And You Will Never Work A Day In Your Life"

  "Find a job that you enjoy doing and you will never work a day in your life." Mark Twain No one asked me, what if that job included undressing in front of a man.  I love doing that.  I've always enjoyed the rush, the thrill of watching a man's eyes change or look at me in such a way, knowing that he was totally captivated by my looks and body.  I'm a woman.  We know these things.  We learn them at an early age.  By the time we're in middle school we see the way a boy's eyes change and heads turn when we walk into a room.  As we graduate onto high school, we become even more aware of how boys pause talking to each other when we enter a room or walk by.  When we wear something extra colorful, complimenting our figure, or something a little revealing, we also see the difference in our reception.  It's pretty amazing.  We know when men are looking at our tits instead of our faces.  We know when men are checking out our butts as w...

"We women grow and bloom like everlasting flowers"

Image
  We women grow and bloom like everlasting flowers throughout our lives.  We should never feel that our beauty ever ends.  Our beauty evolves from our youthful mental state, through our teens, to our adult lives.  Once we're past our reproductive years, our beauty evolves in the wisdom that we should aspire to gain.  We see more.  We feel more.  We love more.  We learn to teach others to heal more, as we have learned to heal from our own missteps and mistakes.  Our wisdom gained provides more "color" to our lives and our learned lessons.  What wisdom have you learned since your teens that you can share with others?  Just name a single specific moment or interpersonal event.
