I’m not doing a "resolution" this year. Listen to it: Resolution. Just the word alone feels so hardcore, so absolute, so non-femme. I’ve decided that instead of resolutions, from now on I am going to have "Revelations."
So, here is my New Year's Revelation for 2009…
I’m in love.
I sit at my desk in NY and reflect back on 2008. It was an intense year, a wild ride, a wicked lesson in perseverance and stick-to-it-iveness. 2008 reminds me we as a culture are in "a time." We are in the midst of one of the most fluctuating, intense eras in history. The world order is changing and here we are in front row seats being sucked into it. Whoa, the markets crash, then rise, then crash, then rise like a swelling, turbulent surf. The masculine power structure based on money, which turns into greed and hoarding is faltering, weakening and wobbling, and in many cases losing its footing. And in the not so far away distance, the feminine energy is stirring.
I am grateful I discovered S Factor, of the growth and continued evolution of S Factor, the feminine factor. Just look at the S culture all around you. You are a woman looking for something more. You are a woman who has inhaled the fragrance of wholesome sexuality through body freedom and asked for more. See, an S woman is not exclusively a student who has taken a class in a studio. Although, this is a sweet and tremendous slice of S deliciousness. An S woman is any woman whose ears have perked up at a dinner party after overhearing another woman mention dancing or S factor. An S woman is a woman who has done even one secret hip circle on her own at home, for her own love and enjoyment of self. An S woman is a woman who has thought, "There is more for me." An S woman wants to be heard, she wants to express what is uniquely hers, she wants her presence felt.
My 2009 New Year's Revelation is, "I am in love." I am in love with you, with this culture. I am in love with women who care and demand and insinuate themselves fully into the world. I am in love with being a woman. I am in love with having a family and a partner who I can navigate my way through this world together. I am in love with the promise of the future with the feminine riding high in the driver's seat. I am in love with the possibilities.
Allow me to introduce you to the voice of an S woman who shares a piece of her journey. Her voice so vivid, so arresting and so touching and funny that she carries the tune better than I could possibly do justice. Listen to her sing...
…you tell your hairdresser to cut your hair so that it "swings best for S pole class" (sometimes you give demos for the stylist, just to be accurate).
…you can't dance in public anymore without grabbing your body and/or hair, while doing hip circles.
…your music collection is full of Erotic Creature inspired songs for class only.
…whenever you need to think of a "happy place," you can only think of your S Factor class.
…you want to move to New Zealand or Tuscany but can't because they don't have an S Factor studio there yet.
…you find yourself begging your girlfriends to not tell newly met men about your S pole dancing...good things are best found out over time...not in the first 2 minutes.
…you choose what food to eat depending on whether you have class or not.
…people who know you well refer to you as the woman "who pole dances for exercise."
…you start questioning whether you would rather behave as you, or your Erotic Creature - in your every day behavior.
…you deeply wish classes were four hours long, twice a week.
…you plan all your trips around your dance class.
…the thought of not being in class for one week makes you feel a little ill.
Ahhhh, I couldn’t have put it more eloquently. Let’s move forward into 2009 with the knowledge of our feminine. We have a new year, a new administration, a new philosophy, a new chance. And I hope you are feeling what I'm feeling. Ready. All the steps we have taken to move forward are finally, actually moving us forward. I feel proud and emotional and stoked and giggly with anticipation to experience this new chance and change with you. The possibilities abound. Next year this time, we'll look back and around us and see a greener planet, a more feminine planet, with a newly revived economy, peace abounding, and a global embrace of the feminine.
I can dream. And dreams, as you have seen this amazing January, come true when you dream hard enough. Come dream with me.
