I stand mesmerized, beholding these sentinels of grace, the vessels of ancient mysteries and transmitters of sacred energy.

These are Kore sacred feminine figures, towering atop of pedestals in the Archaic Art gallery at the Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece. Here, during my visit, I not only see these beautiful and precious relics, I also feel their energetic presence.

Many years ago, Artemis was the Greek deity with whom I most identified while reading The Goddesses Within Every Woman by Jean Shinoda Bolen. Artemis is sovereign, independent, wild, and lover of forests and fields. Learning about her powerful attributes helped me honor my own wild, nature-loving and independent spirit. So recently, while planning my vacation to Greece, I stumbled upon the existence of the archeological site of the Artemis Brauronia Sanctuary, one of the most important religious sites for women in ancient Greece, located near a seaside town about 20 miles from downtown Athens. I knew I must see it.

Anti-feminism is on the rise in America. And I’m perplexed. Haven’t feminists helped our society?

I believe feminism supports the evolution of humanity and opens doors that allow everyone to rise to their greatest potentials.

But not everyone wants those doors to be opened.

Many of us would like to be that woman with a luminous aura and mysterious magnetism that excites and attracts amazing people and opportunities.

Our vibration is an inherent part of each of us, yet few understand what “vibes” are and how they influence our lives. In this article, I break it down in simple terms what a vibration is and how you can quickly generate a frequency that gives everyone around you excitations.

That healthy, radiant glow! It’s a sign of youth and beauty. We want it and we’re willing to spend fortunes on skin creams and makeup to get it.

With experience in the fields of health, wellness and beauty, I have the secret to this authentic radiance. It doesn’t cost a thing. And it’s fun! It’s called self-pleasuring.

When I worked for a large company as a production manager, I often faced stressful situations. At times, the workload, production problems and personnel issues were overwhelming. Every day I faced challenges that were seemingly way over my head. But as a Positive Energy Woman, I knew I had the tools to power through and overcome or succeed with every situation. One of my most empowering tools was, and still is, starting the day with Affirmative Prayer. This one practice helped me face everyday with confidence, optimism, love and inner-peace.

One of the most powerful tools of self-appreciation is the photographic self-portrait. As a process, the self-portait offers an opportunity to explore the many aspects of your unique being, including the familiar and the unknown, to be expressed for your photo.

Few of us are taught how to deal with a problem, rendering many of us helpless and hopeless, fearful, and avoidant of the issue. Positive Energy Women learn to face an issue squarely in the face, swiftly and creatively. In a few steps, problems are solved with greater ease and in less time, making life easier and worry free. If you are problem avoider, or are not sure how to fix an issue, the Positive Energy Woman Empowered Problem-Solving will help.

When does feminine power begin?

I believe there’s a supremely important time when our guidance can accelerate a girl’s awareness of her mind, body, and divine gifts as the sources of her power.

At the onset of her first period.

“The only way a dream comes true, is not when you dream, but when you do.”

— Meloney Hudson

I wrote the above motto decades ago and is one I live by.

Sure, some say, “we’re human beings, not human doings.” And I agree that it’s essential to take time to just “be.”

Yet doing is a vital aspect of our human nature. Even the most ardent “Be-ers” must “do” to survive.

Many of us dream of a non-patriarchal world where gender and race equality, respect of the earth, and peace reign.

Even centuries of striving for equality and proving women’s worth hasn’t loosened the patriarchy’s grip to outmoded ideologies that keep them in charge and unevolved.

Perhaps focusing on matriarchal ideologies will help to make the shift swifter.

Most women are in the dark about one of their most pleasure-producing possessions - their clitoris.

And no wonder – this crowning glory of the female genitalia didn’t appear in anatomy books until the 1990s. Australian urologist Helen O’Connell noticed this glaring omission and followed her calling to learn as much about the clitoris as she could and share her discoveries with the world.

The Dark Goddess is an aspect of the divine feminine who is fearless, wise, bold, and strong. She fights for what’s right, takes down evil, and protects the ones she loves.

Her “dark” reference isn’t due to her skin color, but because she represents the deep, mysterious shadowy side of the Divine (and thus of ourselves), the dangerous part that we want to hide in the dark, avoid and discourage.

Feminine power is more important than ever.

Positive Energy Woman doesn’t often tread into politics. But because of the erosion, and possible overturning of women’s reproductive rights, we’re stepping in. The strength, passion, and voices of women are needed to gain more equality, maintain the freedoms we’ve achieved, and bring balance to the patriarchal energy that dominates our government (and the world).

I’m lucky. I rarely experience creative blocks, and in fact, I’m often inspired with such an overflow of ideas that I can’t create them all.

It pains me to see others struggle with creative blocks. They seem crippled and demoralized by their lack of inspiration or ideas. Sometimes I see the uninspired writer or artist give up on their ideas altogether.

I’ve created a life that is peaceful and overflowing with curiosity-satisfying adventures and enriching relationships. I love my life!

What my life doesn’t include is angst-creating, turmoil-provoking people or events. But even if I’m subjected to these types of influences, I’m able to remain centered and maintain an existence of calm laced with joy.

I admit I haven’t always been this way.

Powerful Women Go Too Far

As a young girl, Justine Bateman appreciated the natural beauty of older women and was enamored by older actresses of European cinema, including Charlotte Rampling and Jeanne Moreau. She thought their dark circles, crow’s feet, and wrinkles made them look exotic and complex. She admired their poise and confident attitudes. So, when wrinkles appeared on Justine’s cheeks when she smiled, she was ecstatic. Now she would look exotic, complex, and more attractive.

I love our ancient goddesses and am passionate to learn about the many feminine deities around the globe.  I decided to search for a Goddess of the Past, Present and Future, and suprisingly I couldn’t find one. I did find Antevorta, Roman Goddess of the Future and her sister Postvorta, Goddess of the Past. (So obscure are these goddesses, no images of them can be found.) But no single Goddess of the Past, Present and Future seemed to exist.
