Nikki Lambeth’s Womanifesto
I will still play dress up and wear frilly things, but only because I think I look really cute when I see myself in the mirror. Fuck what the boys think.
I will not feel bad for eating ice cream right out of the container instead of breakfast.
I am blessed to have a loving husband, who although doesn't always understand me, he always supports me - and more importantly, gets out of my way when I need him to.
I'm not selfish for spending my free time doing things for me. The house will always be messy, there will always be laundry, and the yard always needs mowing...but that new book, or new nail polish, or new restaurant down the street really does need my attention. Right now.
The Christian church is the single biggest suppresor of womanhood and all things feminine in the history of our planet. I refuse to remain a part of an organization that tells me that because I am female, my faith and my contributions are worth less (and sometimes nothing). I will not have a hand in my own oppression any more.
I don't have to keep my mouth shut if I happen to disagree with someone, but I don't have to be rude or mean about it.
Sparkly green shoelaces look great in my hot pink Converse All-Stars.
Walking around the house naked feels fanstastic.
My body is beautiful how it is, whether or not I always remember that. Thank Goddess I have a husband that loves to remind me.
I love sex. Love it! And I am not a bad person for appreciating what my body is capable of. As a matter of fact, I'd be somewhat of an idiot if I did not take advantage of my Goddess-given capabilities and pleasures. So what if they think I'm a whore? It's my body, I'll do what I damn well please!
Writing a love letter to myself in lipstick on the mirror on the back of the bathroom door is a great way to remind myself how amazing and awesome I am. I rock!
I will stop waiting for a kick-ass super girl to show up on my doorstep and show me how to be a cuntluvin' woman - I will do it for myself, because there is someone somewhere out there is just needs to see me in action before they start their own journey down this road.
I am Me. I can be no more, and no less. I will stop apologizing for failures I don't have, for sins I don't commit, and for ideals I don't fulfill. Goddess created me as I am, the universe put me here in this time and this place, and I will nothing less than what I am intended to do.
