I am a woman!
I am sitting in my living room looking out the window as a mix of rain and snow are falling. I have Enya’s newest CD playing and drinking my favorite hot tea. I am supposed to be writing a self-analysis paper on my gender development, but I am realizing how hard it is to put into words what has made me into a woman. There have been times in my life that I didn’t realize what it meant to be a woman. There have been times in my life that I hated that I was female. There have been times that I felt like I need to apologize for being a woman. Today though, as I sit here I am thankful for being a woman. I am thankful for the amazing women in my life who have taught me what it really means to embrace my identity as a woman. I am thankful and blessed for being who I am!

"We are volcanoes. When women offer our experiences as our truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains. That's what I want - to hear you erupting. You Mount St. Heleneses who don't know the power in you - I want to hear you... If we don't tell our truth, who will?" - Ursula K. Le Guin
The quote sitting in front of me when I read your blog. Fitting, I think. Keep searching and sharing your story! Love you - Leigh
