Femininity Still

Art By Christina Kitchinson




1. Thank you God for femininity.....Fresh Flowers, Fruit Stand Berries, sundresses with sparkly flip-flops and Wide brimmed Hats.



2. Thank you God for femininity.....Child-birth, nursing, lulling, protecting, nurturing, singing soft songs in the quiet of the dawn.



3. Thank you God for femininity.....Thigh high stockings, weekend get-a-ways, steamy nights, sensual glances, naughty games, and exploration.



4. Thank you God for femininity.....The Sisters who guide me, The Mother who supports me, The girlfriends who lift me up, and the strangers who linger in the back ground that I still manage to touch.



Come closer...



5. Thank you God for femininity.....For pink t-shirts, flower tattoo's, and pixie-fairies. For the gift of womanhood,



I am forever grateful.



(Seems no matter how I slice it, I'm still always glad that I'm not a man...).



Lots of crazy love,



~Elle

Gratitude is YOURS




When I first started counting my blessings, it looked somewhat like this:


Thank you God for:


1. A banana Split shared 3 ways on a hot summer afternoon.


2. For fresh water to quench my thirst.


3. For fresh idea's to quench my mind.


4. For "signs".


5. For the Tao.


I give thanks.



The only thing that has changed since I first began to count my blessings, is that it sometimes feels impossible to narrow it down to just 5.


I could literally be here all day.


God, thank you for gratitude. Living a life of THANKS and APPRECIATION has renewed my tired spirit, and is slowly waking up my sleepy soul.


I could not ask for more.


The gift of a heart full of gratitude is there for everyone...it is a gift to you, also. All you have to do, is graciously accept it.


All my love,

Elle
