Unleash your inner goddess power and transform your story into a masterpiece of confidence, self love, abundance and limitless possibilities—because YOU 're the author of your extraordinary life

Womens History Month

March is Women’s History Month

Throughout history, there have been incalcucable numbers of women who have raised the bar for what it means to be an empowered woman. So as difficult as it is to focus on just a few historical figures, for Women’s History Month, I’ve decided to spotlight 30 powerful women who left their indelible mark on history. We all stand on their shoulders, and I am happy to briefly highlight some that come to mind. This spotlight could shine until the end of time, and it would still not be enough time to give credence to all the women who have impacted my life, let alone those who came before. Yet, I have decided on this brief handful, for the month of March. Let me know in the comments section who comes to your mind as you read about these women who have shaped our lives for the better.

Maya Angelou – The Power of Words and Resilience

Born: April 4, 1928
Died: May 28, 2014

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” — Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou was a force of nature—a poet, author, and civil rights activist who used her voice to inspire and uplift. Her literary works, including I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, broke barriers, bringing the experiences of Black women into mainstream literature. Overcoming racism, trauma, and oppression, she became a beacon of strength, teaching generations the power of resilience and self-expression.

Her contributions to literature, activism, and the arts have left an indelible mark on history. Angelou’s words remind us that our stories hold power, our voices matter, and our legacy is shaped by how we make others feel.

Why She Inspires Us Today
Maya Angelou’s life is a testament to perseverance and courage. She refused to let her past define her future, instead transforming pain into poetry and adversity into action. Her wisdom continues to guide women to stand tall, speak boldly, and embrace their full potential.

Watch for my next choice tomorrow!

  • The Divine Feminine is Rising...and April blog posts are all about the Divine Feminine....

For thousands of years, the Divine Feminine was revered—a powerful, intuitive force guiding life in harmony with nature. She was the keeper of wisdom, the healer, the creator, the nurturer, and the warrior. Her energy was balanced with the masculine, and together, they formed a world of flow, connection, and abundance.

But then, something changed. Fear replaced reverence. Control replaced harmony. The feminine voice was silenced, dismissed, and suppressed. Intuition was ridiculed. Women who honored their inner wisdom were labeled as dangerous, and many paid the ultimate price for their knowing.

Yet, the Divine Feminine was never truly lost—only forced into the shadows. And now, she is re-emerging, stronger than ever.

It’s time to re-member who we are...

This month, I’m dedicating my blog to reawakening the Divine Feminine within. We’re not just talking about goddess energy—we’re embodying it. We’re reclaiming our intuition, our creativity, our ability to heal and lead in a way that aligns with nature’s flow.

—We will explore ancient feminine wisdom.
— We will reconnect with the sacred power within us.
— We will shift from repression to radiant expression.

The time for merely knowing is over—it’s time for being.

Are you ready to reclaim the Divine Feminine within you? Then join me for this powerful journey.
