Being a woman does not only refer to the definition of the sex we belong to. Feeling a woman, implies to take femininity as a starting point towards a deep trip that demands devotion, warmth and love for life.

Women live a search in our culture, they want to belong to this post modernity without having to give up their own sex essence. It is the search for the feminine nature, to learn how to appreciate themselves as women and to show that internal world full of intuition. Fertile land and the conviction that life is revealed in their children look, their parents support, walking along with their couple and the love always faithful to the roots they have sown. It involves a trip from the inside towards the outside, and the destiny is the harmony of feeling like a human being, completely integrated, balanced and complete: ¡how wonderful to see herself reflected in her projects……of her own!

This trip of the feminine starts with the search for women’s identity, family consolidation, generation of projects in favor of the role she plays in life and her social compromise. This search will give its benefits which in turn will be multiplied, giving her the opportunity of transcending from her own nature, reinventing herself every morning, giving force to every word, passion to every goal, and compromise to each moment of her existence.

If she does not listen to her calling and she decides to betray the trip that is awaiting her, life will charge her weakness translating it into sterility, weakness, loneliness and emptiness. How many times a woman wonders: why do I feel so lonely?, Why am I not recognized for what I do?. The real question would be: Do I appreciate myself?

A complete, integral and comfortable woman with her essence, will not forget the privilege of her femininity, strengthening herself from love and with the love of every beat of her heart. Then she will work as a woman, she will devote to others as a woman and love others the way she only knows, like an individual who was called to life to put together her intuition and wisdom as a result of her creativity and unconditional devotion.

Being a woman is a privilege but it is also a mission that has to be lived with strength, passion and struggle but most important, with the conviction that the look of her eyes can move the man she loves, the father she admires, the mother she congratulates on her achievements, and the children that feel happy to have her.

It is the power of a woman’s word that can change the course of history, and a woman’s tears that can open a world of sublime sensitivity beyond earthly things.

In conclusion, as women, we have a task which is to learn how to distinguish, between everything around us and what we have got inside; what we have to live and which archaic patterns we have to leave behind, because they restrain and depress us. Live life building our destiny day after day, step by step, and live every moment as a song, putting together our creativity and vital force, without loosing our feminine side.
