be a succulent wild woman

I think I need to work on the “getting in shape” goal before I can release the wild woman.
So I’ll be picking this one up again as soon as I can give my self-confidence a boost.

A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food.

The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation.

The traveler left rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime.

But, a few days later, he came back to return the stone to the wise woman.

“I’ve been thinking,” he said. “I know how valuable this stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Teach me what you have within you that enabled you to give me this stone without a moment’s hesitation.”

I was looking for hair conditioner when I found a set of toiletries hubby gave me some time ago. Wild thing that I am, I pulled them out and said “What am I waiting for?”

In the shower, I scrubbed my knees, elbows, and feet with sea salts and washed with yummy shower gel. After I dried off, I used the matching body lotion. It smelled great.

I poured myself some mint water over ice and sat down to dry my hair and surf the net.

Aaaaah . . . a spa experience right in my own home.

Hello all…

I’ve been involved with the team to be a SUCCULENT WILD WOMAN, for a while and yet, I’m not really sure how to accomplish this. However, now I have the time and the desire to really open up and experience this. So… any offerings that you might have for this goal would be greatly appreciated.

Blessings,

Very Succulent Wild Woman!!!

and I really don’t plan on reading it. But, I joined this goal for a reason and I want to remind myself why.

Women are powerful. I don’t think many understand that, or even have the slightest clue at how powerful we are. A lot of the time, I think of “if only” statements about women and their situations, and the one that comes to mind every time is if only she realized her self worth.

That’s how I see this goal – my self worth. I don’t need to be “wild” per the collegiate dictionary, or succulant in a sexual way – I recognize my power. I realize that my words have power, my actions have power, and I am not living my life, wasting time “trying” certain things or “socializing” with certain people. It’s not worth it.

Ever since I was little, I never viewed myself as less than anyone else. Those usual peer experiences never affected me – no boy knew me more than I knew myself, no girl could put me down. And that’s not to say I didn’t make mistakes, but that I learned very quickly. I wasn’t any less powerful because of someone or something in my life affecting me in negative ways. I learned and walked away.

I’m rambling and I don’t know why – but I wish I could have every girl feel this inner power. It seems as if that was possible, every woman would be educated, every society would be improved, and the world would just be…better.

I guess I wish more women would just stop taking shit from people. I wish they would wise up and realize they’re just wasting their time. Sometimes, I get so ruffled at seeing or reading or hearing about such things, that I just want to grab the girl by her shoulders and shake her! What are you doing?! Why are you doing this? Don’t you see?

I was largely undecided if I should share my latest succulent conquest. I think instead of revealing the details, I will shroud myself in innuendo….

For my birthday, I have two new toys on order, and neither of them are from Mattel!

Found a really beautiful red dress,
going to find a nice pair of red heels (sexy!)
and do my best to feel my absolute most gorgeous.

I finally got the guts to not fall into the same trap I always do. There’s a guy I see sometimes who only wants to see me when it’s convenient for him, which makes me feel like crap. He’s in town now and I think he was planning on me waiting around until he asked me to do something with him for New Year’s Eve, but I didn’t. I made plans of my own with one of my wilder girlfriends, and when he called at the last minute to invite me, I got great pleasure out of telling him I wasn’t available. It was the shock in his voice when he said “you are?” that made it worth it.

I’ve been learning that if he doesn’t have time for me when I call, but wants me to drop everything when he calls, I’m better off without him. And for that, I am proud of myself.
