A woman’s body is truly a work of art. Equipped with all its bumps, curves, valleys and mountains, it isn’t difficult to understand why a woman’s physique has its own symbolism. With symbolism comes power/influence and when you know how to work them, Gyrlfriend you can change the world! Technically speaking, it has already been done. God made clear his orders when he told Adam he could eat fruit from any tree in the Garden of Eden except the apple tree in the corner with the serpent crawling around it. Adam was doing fine until one day Eve walked up with an apple in her hand, swaying her hips and hypnotizing him with her Coca Cola bottle curves. Every-thing his Father told him went out the window..or out the Garden. From this, two lessons were learned;
1. Women have the power to change the future, and;
2. Men really do think with their…eh em…you know what I mean.
With power comes responsibility and aside from a few hiccups, history shows we have used our power for the greater good. Imagine a soldier on the battle field. Needing a mental break from the chaos, he seeks a moment of solace so he can get his head back in the game. From his pocket comes a scented photo of whom???? That’s right, his Woman. He’s just been given all the power he needs to shift into second gear. After a rough day at work a man wants to come home, kick his feet up and see what???? …the beautiful smiling face of his Woman; preferably with a drink in her hand. Women were born with everything necessary to make this world a better place; no assembly required.
However as time went on we allowed “Invaders” to spew their empty rhetoric making a Woman feel shameful for being her natural self. These Invaders damned you for keeping yourself pretty and utilizing your womanly influence. Us Ladies were convinced that in order to make it in this world we had to dress like men, walk like men and talk like men. It wasn’t enough to do what we were born to do; now we had to compete with men and flex our muscle as well. Then the Mother lode of them all (drum roll): The Invaders convinced Women that we can conceive and raise children all by ourselves.
Like my Grand Mama would say, “Mmmm…Mmmm…Mmmm.”
As Daughters of this earth and the balance of Man, a woman’s power is strongest when we walk in our shoes, not His. Our curves and soft features command attention so that we do not have to speak. Our hearts were made to forgive, nurture, love, encourage, strengthen and protect. We are gifted with the ability to persuade, control and change the hearts of men. How quickly we forget…….. Eve changed the future with an apple and her natural self.
Now I’m asking you: Do you believe you have the power to change the future?…I’m listening..Holla at ya Gyrl!
