It is also helpful to realize that this very body that we have that is sitting right here, right now, with its aches and its pleasures, is exactly what we need to be to be fully human, fully awake, and fully alive. – Pema Chodron

A goddess is a woman who emerges from deep within herself, she is a woman who has honestly explored her darkness and learned to celebrate her life. She is a woman who is able to fall in love with the magnificent possibilities within her. she is a woman who knows of the magic in mysterious places inside of her, the secret places that can nurture her soul and make her whole. She is a woman who radiates light, she is magnetic.
