Womanhood and Women's History Month

by dr. terri

On the life of women, the late Jane Austen stated: "She had been forced into prudence in her youth. She learned romance as she grew older--the natural sequence of an unnatural beginning." No doubt, womanhood is a beautiful, complex, and abstract phenomena. It is powerful, so powerful that those outside of it seek to claim it as a manageable and controllable experience. It is not. In fact, womanhood is ultimately an inside job, which requires the inhabitant of the female dwelling place to freely exist, change, and grow. Are there female impersonators, impostors, and point-blank sell-outs? Sure. But when it comes to the romantic life of a woman, there is no one realer than the woman who learns to begin her romantic journey again and finally on her own terms.

Today, as the virtual doors of StillSoSexy! officially (re)open after a long hiatus, I want to invite you to begin your romantic journey again even as we begin ours again. And how befitting to start this journey just as Women's History Month kicks-off? So over the coming weeks, we will pay tribute to Women's History Month (WHM) by doing a series entitled: Journey Into Well-Being. We begin with this particular series topic because I believe before we can truly embrace what it means to be sexual and sensual beings, we must understand our individual and collective journeys into our own sense of well-being. And to help us really bring this series to life, we will feature a few Readers as Writers who will share their own journeys into well-being. I hope you'll join us each week during WHM. Until then, be well and stay + y'all...
