1. one of a group of superstar female beings who uses her feminine wisdom and supernatural powers to heal the collective consciousness and create good in the world.
2. a woman who pursues causes and concerns with passion, unconcerned about challengers and naysayers.
3. a woman who is courageous, gutsy and dares to live her truth.
4. a female who emanates love, beauty, and grace just by showing up.
Each week I will be featuring a woman who is doing good things in the world and/or daring to live her truth. These women will come from all fields including education, health, arts and entertainment, journalism, politics, world relations, motherhood, business, finance, technology, media and more.
My intention in creating Goddess of the Week is to make women and their great work more visible. I think traditional media is a little too wrapped up in women as beauty icons, fashionistas, and boy-crazy bloodhounds. While I love beauty, fashion and boys (let’s make that men), what about the incredible work that women are doing every day all over the world?
Goddess of the Week is just a start to my efforts in promoting women. I’ll be adding new elements in the coming months. If you are on my mailing list, you will be informed about these things. If you are not on my list and want to stay up to date, please consider signing up. I promise not to over-email. You can always unsubscribe at any time.
GODDESS OF THE WEEK:
