Take a breath... I know that title might trigger some reactions in both men and women alike.  If you happen to be one of those people, consider giving the idea a chance.  See how it might apply in your life... see where societal or life's conditioning might have limited your perspective... and, I might not be saying what you think I'm saying.

I'm not saying that a woman needs a man.  We (women) used to and, on many levels, we don't any more.  Yet I also know that we do need each other for our deepest fulfillment, love, and even for our deepest freedom.   

Are you willing to need and be needed?

If you've read my newsletters, watched any of my videos, or been to an event with me you know that each of us, both genders, have masculine and feminine energy within us.   In short, our masculine energy produces results, bringing forth qualities like focus, direction, presence, aggression, rigidity, and honor; while our feminine nature brings softness, creativity, coyness, openness, surrender, flexibility, flow, and beauty.  We both have both energies within us and for most of us, we have one that predominates within us, one that feels most, true natural and authentic.  (Hint: it's not always the one that feels the most comfortable... our masks can feel so comfortable that we think they're natural... and they are not real.)

Whether we're aware or not, we all experience the interplay or the dance of the masculine and feminine within us individually as well as the interplay that happens between us, even in same sex relationships.   This article was inspired by several distinct conversations about or experiences with the masculine stepping in to protect the feminine in the last month or so.  

Are you willing to allow the feminine be protected by the masculine?
