As a Feminine Woman

it is healthy, normal, and expected that you

uplift you and yours without question or apology,

know your culture and the people you come from,

hold both in high esteem,

and

never fail to point out a better course for yourself and those you care about.

In doing so,

a low self esteem may be bruised.

That is unfortunate. The intent is never to offend.

But, political correctness aside, the truth is the truth.

Clue: if you aren’t named specifically, it probably isn’t about you.

Please be clear.

No human has dominion over me in ANY way.

The same is true for you too. You just have to own it.

The first place I see beauty? The mirror.

The willingness to embrace and express my femininity, I learned from black women.

Etiquette, manner, charm, my love of all things good and pretty :) . . . black women.

I uplift those who are like me. And I am a black woman.

Whichever path you elect to follow,

be very sure that it uplifts both you and the women who came before you

lest you become a cultural clown.

What’s it Going to Be?

virtue (n) an example of moral goodness or excellence.

intention (n) a virtue; an action or instance of determining mentally upon some action or result; an aim that guides action, an objective, or a purpose.

Setting your intention is akin to beginning with the end in mind. Doing this with honesty and respect for yourself causes you to expend your energy and time wisely.

It will not, however, replace critical thinking.

For instance, if your future includes a happy, lasting marriage, it behooves you to spend time and energy learning and practicing the skills that will ensure that you have a happy, lasting marriage (knowledge of self, interpersonal skills, ability, willingness and commitment to maintain a relationship, etc.).

With rare exception, neither geisha nor courtesans ever held the position of wife.

Marriage was not their purpose.

If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there. - Lewis Carroll

Studying their techniques after marriage for some extra spice, okay.

Studying these technique before ever being married, not so much.

Of course, if you want to date forever and partake in random trysts for the rest of your life

Or you aspire to be the side chick and have what my aunts called “outside children”

Then take heart, you’re just reading the wrong blog.
