Who inspires me? Inspired by all of you agents of change

Last updated on: February 7, 2013 at 3:46 pm By Women of Spirit and Faith

Who in my life inspires me? Who gives me hope? Who keeps me alive? My mind has been racing and I couldn’t decide who and what situation I wanted to mention, until I realized I wanted to mention everyone. Every single person in my life has been a part of the journey to allow me to discover myself and my opinion of why we are here and who we are: that we are all One, that the purpose of life is to realize that we are all One with a steadfast confidence that Love can and will change the world, and that we are to be the agents of that change.

Who inspires me? Y’all do!!

Last updated on: February 9, 2013 at 5:39 pm By Women of Spirit and Faith

They say it takes a village to raise a child, and looking at the list of people who it takes to keep me inspired, I have to agree. Three years ago my regular support network consisted of my boyfriend and our cat. Then my boyfriend and I split up. Then he left and took the cat. I was - to put it mildly - f***ed. On the bright side, that was the moment that forced me to rethink my approach to community. Read more

Inspired by a fearless example of the Divine Masculine

Last updated on: January 14, 2013 at 7:52 pm By Women of Spirit and Faith

This month marks nine years since my beloved grandfather passed away. Throughout my life, he'd constantly remind us of Dada's Three D's: the three qualities that he believed were most essential to living a good life. Discipline, Dedication, and Devotion. Discipline: to do the right thing at the right time with the right limits in the right way. Dedication: to give oneself completely to whatever we had undertaken, and not to give up. Devotion: to always work with love for God, for others, and from the space of the heart. I remember him sitting us down once at the dining table - I must have been 11 or 12 - and saying all this, adding, "One day, when I'm gone, remember this. Remember me by remembering this. Promise me you'll remember". Read more

This month at the Divine Feminine blog, we want to hear about people who inspire you. Inspiration is something we all seek, either consciously or unconsciously. Not surprising when you think that the word literally means "the act of inhaling". What inspires us gives us life. Though we welcome all posts, we are particularly interested in inspiration you gather from people of a different generation and/or with different faith or spiritual practices to your own. Read more
