You are as perfect as a Rose

It's no coincidence that women's lady parts look like a flower. It's another aspect of nature's brilliant design. With so much shame around this part of women's bodies we forget that we are all as precious and delicate and beautiful and deserving of the same care and reverence as this Rose. We wouldn't grab a Rose or treat it aggressively. It would fall apart in our hands.

When we as women begin to see ourselves as uniquely beautiful as a flower in a flower garden-- each one so unique and worthy of awe, celebration, and tender care-- we not only bloom bigger, brighter and more colorfully, we start to see the beauty in the unique expression of every other woman. No longer seeing each other as competition but as participants in a glorious global garden of diverse femininity.

Additionally, as we bloom bigger and brighter we are bound to attract more attention to us, so we should not be afraid to use our thorns if we are approached disrespectfully. Boundaries are important. Roses use their thorns ruthlessly and no one blames the Rose. You are worthy of the same protection and respect. I'm ever grateful for the many lessons nature offers us on how to live in harmony with each other.
