"No authentic female leadership has yet evolved from the old paradigm in order to lead the people into the new one. It's too easy to live the world of the mind and keep learning (or not learning) the lessons of the mind, for that is what the male- dominated world has said is important. But it's not, is it?"

Hi everyone,

This quote grabbed my attention yesterday. And then an email today (from a woman) told me: "The truth is your Internet business will not survive unless you are involved in various forms of social media."

Allow me to demonstrate authentic feminine leadership by replying to her, "NO!"

That statement is NOT truth -- it's only someone's belief. Unfortunately, the more individuals repeat that belief, the more people see it as truth and the more power it holds over people's lives.

Well, I'm not buying in. My heart is sick and tired of being told what to do.

Nonetheless, I can see I'm still stuck in old patterns. Lately, I have been madly ticking items off my to-do list -- the list that never ends. I've been trying hard to be productive, which is the measure of success for masculine energy. But for me (perhaps not for you), this busywork always keeps me superficial and unfulfilled.

I get truly nourished with depth of experience. And for depth, I need space and time to relax and BE. That's when I feel most abundant. And doesn't the Law of Attraction say that as we experience abundance, we attract good things to us? Perhaps authentic feminine leadership will champion well-being rather than continuous doing.

And on that note, I'm off on vacation tomorrow. I had intended to line up 'word of heart' messages to cover the two weeks I'll be away but now I've decided against that. I want to publicly set an example of choosing ease.

I know you will appreciate the value of this.
