Hormones and High Heels

A Love Story

As I think about the relationship between me and my hormones and the process of coming into and being fully all of my woman self - just another way of saying "wearing my high heels", my mind leads me into what it means to be engaged in a love story.

When we are in love, it is one of the most beautiful experiences that God allows us to enjoy during this journey we call life. We seek it, we desire it and we all need it.

Love of Self

Love causes our heart to sing a rhythmic cadence or an enchanting ballad that keeps us happily anticipating and purposefully inhaling the wonders that await us with our next breath.

Love of Life

Love makes us open our eyes with thanksgiving for the blessing of its presence and Love allows us to smile with awe and reverence that such a magnificent Spirit has been unleashed into the universe.

Love of the Divine

Love makes us determined to triumph, teaches us how to persevere and compels us to keep searching for it. Love instills in us a hunger that we may partake of the fullness of life in all of loves' glory.

Love is Divine

But alas, that is not all there is to the Love Story….

For with the limitless expressions of love, we cannot help but to also find ourselves in a complex, challenging, titillating, spectacular and confusing world.

Sometimes it makes us dance and other times we feel crippled by it.

Sometimes we have unspeakable joy and other times we find ourselves in an abyss of inconsolable grief.

Sometimes we are grounded in the understanding of how and why we love, and other times we are like a pendulum swinging dangerously and clueless-ly out of control.

Some days we are so happy and grateful for love and other days we curse that it ever found its' way into our hearts and minds.

And then there are those times it propels us to the apex of all our loftiest wishes and dreams, and other times it leaves us feeling defeated, disappointed and trampled on.

But ultimately, there is an unrelenting spirit within each woman/sister/girl/female that knows and wants the truth and power of love. And it is this very thing that causes us to wipe away discouragement and to courageously pursue our craving for love. We will not be quenched or satiated by anything less or other than.

How and why it happens for you and me is uniquely and individually yours and mine. But that it is a living actuality is a universal and collective truth.

And so goes the life of a woman…

Hormones ringing, raging or reigning

in peace and passion

highs and lows

ups and downs

sass and simplicity

sleek and sexy

tender and strong

fearless and vulnerable

My Love Story is Dizzing-ly Divine
