Why does Feminine Wisdom Matter for Women?

To me it matters right now that each and every one of us trust and use our feminine approaches. Why? Given the current decline of our economy and all major life systems around the world, it sure doesn't seem like business as usual is the way through.  

The good news? What we see daily as we talk with women around the world is that as they embrace their familiar, yet sometimes less known, feminine ways, they jump into a broader and more significant way of doing what is theirs to do. It's so exciting! They begin to speak candidly and resonantly because so much depends on it. They figure out new ways make more of a difference in their family, community or business.

What are feminine ways? Think of a woman who you consider especially wise. Perhaps someone from the past or someone you know today. How would you describe her?

I remember my grandmother Fern. She was a compassionate, articulate woman who lived her feminine wisdom each  and every day. The first to drive a car in Burien. A writer in the local newspaper. An organizer when the community had a need. In addition, she cared for an invalid sister with grace, put up a mammoth garden of produce and orchard of apple trees. Taught me to bake applesauce bread and looked me in the eye more than once with such direct love and trust that I became more myself because of her.

Who do you know who is a wise woman? How would you describe her? How do you feel when you are with her? Experience teaches us more about feminine wisdom than any well researched definition.If you can't feel your own feminine wisdom, visit our "Sure Fire Self-Centering Questions" for a couple moments of personal time. They work!
