She is a Brave Woman
You will see it in her eyes
Only a woman who has seen her pain
Can be as full of courage as she is
She has seen suffering
She has seen loss
She has felt grief and terror
All in different forms
She is a Brave Woman
You will see it in her stance
She stands upright now
She will face up to you if you do wrong
Not with anger – she doesn’t need to
Only with what is right and just
She will make you see the way
She is a Brave Woman
You will see it in her heart
It beats in time with the earth
Solid, sequential ever-moving forward
She does not look back
She dances her own dance
She sings her own song
She will light up the world
She is a Brave Woman
You will see it in her hands
Never stopping to do her best
They cosset, cuddle and comfort
They make do, they help out
They find what is needed and craft a solution
She will feed the world hope and sustenance
She is a Brave Woman
You will see it in her body
Scars born with pride
Skin taught where the wounds inflicted
Wrinkled with the stories of the ancients
Beautiful in its history of kindness and compassion
Swaying in its capacity of love
She moves accepting her limitations and then exceeding them
She is a Brave Woman
You can hear it in her voice
She is eloquent
She holds the attention of all who hear her
Alluring, sensual, compelling
She has no fear to speak her truth
As she does so with the simple rules
Of kindness and compassion
Leading those who need to heed her
To a better way
She is a Brave Woman
You can listen to the stories
It is written in the sand
It is written in the stars
For it is time to come together
The world it is awaiting
The women gather gently
To turn the world around

Our greatest enemy is Fear.
See it as such.
We are exposed to fear in our everyday lives
More so now than ever before
And yet, it is a primal emotion that is purely there for our protection.
We must learn to fight it in a new way, with compassion, with a love so powerful that the fear is wrapped up and allowed to be seen for what it is.
To enable us to survive.
To enable us to take heed.
To enable us to act.
To enable us to lead with love.
If you learn to love fear for its true purpose and listen to it, acknowledge it and trust it, you will be able to use it - for fuel, to share your gifts and thrive.
Be a warrior - with fear as your shield and a whole world of Infinite Possibilities will open up before you.
