Life Your Best Life

To all the lovely women out there...some inspirational truth about womanhood, wisdom and timeless beauty, by Dorothy Allison "excerpt from " Two Or Three Things I Know For Sure"

Here it goes:

 

" Women lose their lives not knowing they can do something different.......I claimed myself and remade my life.  Only when I knew

I BELONG TO MYSELF COMPLETELY

did I become capable of giving myself to another,

of finding joy in desire, pleasure in our love,

power in this body NO ONE ELSE OWNS."

 

In that sense, ladies, reclaime yourselves.

 

Love,

 

Natalie
