We Are Worthy!

Hi there,
Well, I was on the Tyra show site a couple of days ago and and saw that Thursdays show was on teen virgins and "the peer pressure they face to become promiscuous, and the embarrassment they feel for not being sexually active." I was not in front of a television at that time so I did not see the show. However, I still have something to say.

I think that we need to value ourselves, have some self love. Agh! Just know that you are worthy. Why should you feel embarrassed for not being sexually active? Just because all your friends speak highly of it, it does not mean that you should take part. The grass is not always greener on the other side.

I believe that our bodies are sacred and the Lords temple. I believe that we are to wait for the one who truly loves us and who can commit to us. You see what happens is that when we give it too easy that little spark is gone; that little spark of hunt and chase dissipates into thin air. Guys like to hunt. That drive is in them and if you take that away, it is no longer fun. Where's the challenge? Where's that pride in saying, yeah he worked hard for it? Where's the mystery for the guy? And trust, all things that come too easy don't last for long. It is with the dedication, commitment, and esteemed faith that things are earned, deserved and cherished.

Now you may disagree with me and say: "But no I am not giving it too easy. I am just in a relationship and that is what we do. I don't want to be with him for so long and then find out that he can't satisfy me in the bedroom. Come on, you gotta try it out first." Well I am not asking you to agree with me, I am only suggesting that you think before you act.

Now, I will not go into the all well known consequences that might occur, but instead I want to keep it on that subject that I have always believed in; and that is self love.
You should love yourself enough to know that you are worth the wait. I know, I think I have said this before. But it just seems like it can't be said enough. I believe that it is important for all women to understand their value and to know that their self worth is so far beyond imaginable. If we can understand that one thing and just that alone, then we will be able to unleash the tiger that is within. As women we have so much hidden strength and power that has not been tapped into because we just don't know how. We look for answers everywhere except within ourselves.
The answer lies within; we were created to be fierce.
Be not pressured.

Realize

Hi there,
Today I went to work. I know you were probably expecting to read that I wish I did not go or that I hate it. Well in fact I love my job. I am a design apprentice for Elements of Earth Jewelry. I work for Earth Rowe who is the creator and founder of the business. I am the type of person who loves to surround myself with positive people, and she is one of them. Earth is a beautiful woman inside and out, which is why I love to work for her. She believes in the same thing I do; women are extraordinary and lovely. The theme of her company is "Women: Beautiful, Courageous, Vibrant, Resilient, Powerful." Her designs and creations do exude that and only that motto. You can see for yourself at www.elementsofearthjewelry.com Hint, Hint... check it out.
So I have come to realize that yes some of us do know that we are beautiful and courageous and strong and vibrant, but do we really know why? Have you ever asked yourself why you are and do represent these qualities? Have you ever been told that you were beautiful? Do you remember the first time you heard that word spoken to you? What does it all mean to you?
Well I do not remember the first time I heard that word spoken to me. Although I do remember that I heard it at a very young age from my parents and loved ones. Throughout my life I have not only heard those words spoken to me; I have heard words such as, inspiring and others I'd much rather not say to not sound self indulgent. My whole point is that hearing these encouraging words at such a young age made me who I am today. Because of this I live to promote self love.
Ladies, I leave you with these words; the next time you talk to your sister, or friend tell them that they are beautiful. Tell them why they are too.
Stay blessed.

To my exquisite ladies

Hi there,

My name is Melanie. I decided to create this blog because I saw and still see the need to encourage young ladies. As I look at the media and just every day life I notice that there are just too many negative images of us out there. These images can alter our young ones' minds to think that they are worthless and only sexual objects. Well I want to remind you, my exquisite ladies, that we are so far beyond wonderful.
Since the images out there tend to displace our spirits I want to share this here oath with you. I try to say this or at least think of these words and let them resonate within my mind before I step outside my door every morning.

This is My Oath:

-I vow to love myself first and foremost.

- I know that I am a beautiful and self confident woman that cannot and will not be driven to pieces by anyone in any occasion.

- I am a regal woman and my body is a gorgeous masterpiece that should remain exclusive.

- I know my worth and it cannot be reduced.

- The look of my skin,

The sound of my voice,

The rhythm of my stride,

The width of my smile,

The access of my wisdom,

The power of my mind

Is illuminating, virtuous, passionate, stunning, outstanding, dazzling.

-I am an elegant, exquisite lady of nature.

I hope these words have uplifted your spirits and have moved you to remind all exquisite ladies of nature that they are beautiful.

Stay Blessed.

We live to create.
We live to love.
We live to live.
