Honour my inner Goddess

I’m quite enjoying this whole goddess-like swishy dress business! I feel attractive and feminine and confident… I am truly amazed!!

This one is extra long and so easy to wear, I love it!

Seeing as we didn’t manage to get any full length shots Saturday night, I got my lovely man to take a photo of me tonight in the ‘goddess dress’!!

I just feel SO great in it – funny how one simple piece of clothing could make you feel so different!

Calissa has mentioned in her posts under this goal that feeling feminine is a big part of connecting with her inner goddess, and wearing dresses and skirts helps her to do that… and I agree completely!

The thing is, I’m a tall, rubenesque chick with a BIG bum and thick ankles… so dresses and skirts haven’t graced my wardrobe for many, many years!

But yesterday, I went shopping with my beautiful friend Sammy and in a moment of self loving madness (yep, that’s loving, not loathing!) I tried on a maxi dress… man I love this floor length trend! Much to my absolute shock, I loved it! I felt like a goddess – so needless to say, I brought it home with me! (along with new shoes, evening bag and a sheer black wrap!)

So, now I can’t wait to wear it to my friend’s wedding next weekend.. and quite frankly, I also can’t wait to go shopping again and try on more dresses!! Hahaha!

Who is the goddess inside of me? Is she strong, intellectual, sensual, nuturing? Is she all of that? How could I forget? Did I forget, or have I chosen to ignore her because the pressure to be like her all of the time is just too much?

It’s like if I’m not “goddess-like” all of the time, then I’ve failed. Which is ridiculous. Why do I put so much pressure on myself?

It’s time to start noticing her again – acknowledging the little glimpses I get of her throughout the day.

Today, it was getting home early after a long week of being sick and feeling tired, and slipping into my soft, comfy pj top and warm tracksuit pants to sit quietly with my laptop while I caught up with things on facebook and 43T. Quiet time. My goddess-part likes the quiet. A lot.

That’s me today! I’ve been inspired by Calissa and Shayleah lately to honour my inner Goddess more regularly and with intent. Today I did this by:

• sleeping in with my gorgeous man, snuggled up naked in soft, cozy sheets

• embracing my domestic Goddess-ness by cooking bruschetta and lasagne for a special Valentine’s lunch before he went to work

• washing with pomegranate seed and palm milk body wash then lathering my body with honey nut moisturiser

• watching several episodes of How to Look Good Naked and not only admiring other real women’s bodies but thinking nice thoughts about my own!

Happy Valentine’s Day gorgeous Goddesses!

It is titled “Grow”

It speaks to me – I thought I would share it.

hear me puuurrrrr!!

Who do you admire as being ‘goddess-like’?
Either in your real life or celebrity/ character in a book/ someone from history..

And then..

WHY do you think they are goddess-like?
This might help us decide who our inner goddesses really are..

I think we need to make a point of working on this goal!

To me, feeling like a goddess usually means I’m feeling feminine, sensual, beautiful and comfortable in my own body just as it is.

So – when do YOU feel most like a goddess in your life??

How do you honour your ‘inner goddess’ on a daily basis?

_{Hmm, maybe if you’re still uncomfortable with the ‘worship’ part of this goal Suzette, we could re-word it as ‘Honour my inner goddess’??}

Some days, I feel happy, feminine, sensual and adored.

And then there are days like today…
