The ancient cultures all knew and understood these things.  Unfortunately, the truth has often been lost along the way to modern times or misconstrued and twisted into untruth.  Women have nearly forgotten their place in the Universe. 

So it's time that women start looking at their power, their bodies, and their cycles with respect instead of as a "curse."  It's vitally important that women choose to heal themselves and regain the understanding of their own unique gifts; to re-claim their own power and themselves.  Then it will be up to each woman, her beliefs, and her Divine as how to best walk with it all. 

It is said we are the sacred 7th generation.  For our children and grandchildren, for the next 7 generations, for ourselves, it's time for women to harness their power and get to work helping to save our world.  Women can do it; they are particularly suited for this need.  But it's a choice. 

To quote an ancient indigenous song, "Women of the earth, take courage.  You carry the teaching of a people who look to you for guidance.  Be mindful of your walk." 

We are the ones we have been waiting for.  It's time to step up.  And yes, I'm speaking to you.
