This was me and my friend Marques Harper way back in 2011 when I loved being the spectacle of the party, the sexy ingenue, and wine was my best ally for being the life of the party.
What I didn’t know was….
I was in the middle of a huge initiation and hugely resisting it.
I had just turned 40, I was slender after running my first marathon, and I was having a sexual revolution. There was so much power coursing through my body that I didn’t know what to do with it.
So I did what many women do: I defaulted to expressing at a new level my old archetype rather than step into my power in the new role offered to me by life.
Honestly, I didn’t like that new role as defined by ancestry and society. Embracing that role meant I had to step into a trap: the Mother Trap.
If I let go of the Maiden and embraced the Mother, I felt I would be suffocated in a sea of expectations I could never fulfill. So much easier to stay the Maiden and be the party girl with my bottles of tantalizing Zinfandel.
And if I stepped into the Mother role fully, I’d have to give up being sexy and having fulfilling sex. Right? I really didn’t want to do that since I was just beginning to get the hang of it.
So I ignored the call of my initiation and sank deeper into the bottle and into infidelity.
Until I hit a brick wall. Then another. And another. Divorce. Division of property. The reality of midlife Dating.
I finally realized I was lost in the woods of some big avoidance that I did not understand yet I now know…
Life was calling forth my Mother Heart.
This time, I followed. I says yes…to this…whatever this is.
I know the journey from Maiden to Mother.
I have not lost anything worth having.
I have gained wisdom, self-respect, compassion, courage, self-love, integrity, and integration with the beautiful spirited woman in this picture, the woman I was and will always be…plus SO MUCH MORE.
If this story sounds like your life, I invite you to join an amazing group of mothers and mother-in-other-ways to step out of Maiden and into the awesome heart power of Mother.
