Woman, Act III: Truly Connecting With Vitality

All around you the world is showing the vast variety of forms, moving in vital patterns, filled with secret messages about life.
 Each color and shape has something to add to your day, creating feelings within you that call you to respond.
As  a grounding force for the woman in the third act, nature is a wonderful model.  Do you agree?

Let's talk about what nature says about life.

Plants and animals show us the simple ways of adaptation, and we can clearly see the life cycle of seed, growth, harvest, and completion, change of form, end of life. 

In our lives as women, we have the same cycles:

Beginning as maidens, we grow our feminine forces, preparing to unfold them.  

As women in the middle of life, we nurture, grow, and give to others in all the ways we are able to do.

Later in life, in the third act, women have a vast storehouse of experience and wisdom to offer.  We want to continue to grow and to give, yet the cycle of the second part of life is completed.  the need for a new process, a new way of looking at life, emerges. 

And in these times, we have an opportunity to give back to life that has never existed before.  How to invent this new type of role for the older woman?  No longer content to simply sit quietly and be told what to do, older women now have authority and a need to express a deeper sense of purpose, to align with a higher vision.  We want to keep going!

Yet, we need to find our bearings, to get comfortable with who we are now and are becoming, and to identify what comes next.  Using the life cycle image, we are like fruit trees that have grown up and are now laden with fruit.   We don't want any of what we have done in life to go to waste.  This takes reflection, and an examination of values, priorities, and goals.  Want some support for this process?  I would be so honored to be your companion in the journey.

Please contact me for a free consultation about what's next for you.

Thanks for being here,

Betty
