As I talk with women around the world, I realize the amazing truth... Do you hear it?

There is a message that is being heard around the world. It is being heard in many languages. It is being heard in village, in town and in cities. It is awakening within women. It is rippling throughout individual minds, being spoken of between two at lunch, and being presented in large events. It is saying, Women wake up. It is saying, “You can lead.” It is saying, “Hold hands and work together.” It is saying, ”Drop off the constrictions of the past.” It is saying, “Demand sustainability and abundance, even for yourselves.” It is saying, unite forcefully. It demands that you stand on every corner of your world and say “No!” to all voices of hate, all voices of blame, all voices of shame and belittlement. It reminds you to say, “This is my world, my life, my family.” It is shouting, “We will not be manipulated and entrapped, rape and abused.” It isd breathing with clarity, “We will not be made to do another bidding!” The awakening shows that all behaviors that turn our family against each other, all lectures designed to lie and inflame, all messages created to sell toxins and opiates that disable and constrict our life must be named. It demands that our voices be heard. It demands our right to design agendas that enhance life and honor others. It is clear and discerning, knowing the venom of victimization. Women are the power for the next present moments. We will create environments of sustainability and systems of communal abundance. Feminine leadership that honors justice and equality will lead the world to peace. We are the ones to pluck away, to remove the choking forms of usury, deceit, greed and abuse. The message is beyond our personal creation. It encompasses the global family and will not be silenced. Do you hear it? Have you doubted it? Pick up your part of the chant, your message. Yes. You’ve got mail,

This is for you!
