As I sit here and write this post I can honestly say that I am a lucky girl. My tribe is spread over continents and every member of that tribe strengthens me to no end. My tribe is not large, but it is irreplaceable. The women I have met and the women I have missed from afar teach me so many things on the daily, and I am so grateful for them.
Women need tribes. They need each other. Women are the centres of their homes, a pillar of strength for those around them. Women are the nurturers, the carers, the lovers and the mothers. We give birth. We are the healers, we are providers, we are goddesses. Women fill the emotional gaps for one another; instinctively knowing how to nourish each other. Just being together is restorative and healing.
When women are together and truly give of their authentic self a cycle of nourishment is naturally created. This cycle is always giving and always uplifting. It's a positive thing.
One cannot underestimate the power of female friendships.
"Female friendships that work are relationships in which women help each other to belong to themselves"- Jane Fonda
In your tribe you are not required to be anything other than your true self. It's a safe place. A judgement free zone. A respectful place where love is the goal.
These are the relationships that are real. There isn't room nor time for negativity or competition. It's in these types of relationship that restorative powers are present. Something shifts in the universe and amazing things happen. It's a transfer of energy that cannot take place anywhere else. A gift that is given freely and a relationship that is formed organically. When this happens you know that you have found your tribe.
Your tribe is your sisterhood. It feeds your soul. Your tribe is a very powerful force. Your tribe is a gift to the world!
