Power

I've been checking out this online dating thing for the past couple of months and there is one thing that I have noticed. Most men, or at least the men who are compatible with me, put Power as a turn off. It intrigues me. I really think that they mean that a controlling person is a turn off. Power has a completely different meaning to me. Especially when it is a woman who is powerful. But is that what is a turn-off to men? If a woman is powerful in her woman-ness, is that something that is difficult for a man to understand or to handle? I don't know. Have many men actually known a truly powerful woman? I'm not talking about a woman who is simply wealthy and works at a high-profile (or high-powered) career. Although a powerful woman can be those things. True power comes from a place of compassion and self-awareness with a healthy dose of humility. I think that a truly powerful woman would be attractive to any man....he may not know it, yet.

Welcome

Since I have become a type of voyeur reading other's Blogs, I think it's about time for me to start my own.

Welcome to all who stumble on my rantings. This will be a place where, could you see my hands (and they weren't typing) they would be all over the place because when I become passionate about something I am unable to communicate it without wild flailing and illustrative gestures. You will have to use your imagination.

Here are a few things that I have been contemplating recently and I will elaborate on them in later posts.

Power. What is real power? Is it something to eschew or embrace?

Wealth. Why is it that we are taught that wealth is not a good thing? And how is it that we have brainwashed ourselves to be un-wealthy?

Humility. How does one achieve it?

Stay tuned for answers to these and other questions.
