Oct 8 Birth of a Goddess

Well, almost a month 
since my last blog. 
 You must have given up on me! 
 My intention is still a weekly blog
….sigh.

You may have wondered 
how I achieved the lofty title
 of Senior Goddess Supreme (or not).  
Well, during the days and years 
when I needed many "Aha" moments 
(an Oprah thing—
some lifesaving insight 
crashing into your soul), 
I read several daily meditations.  
 This at the very least delayed 
my getting to work….
but my several career choices 
will be subject for another blog.

ANYWAY, in the Oprah-touted book
  Simple Abundance 
(making a gratitude journal, etc.),
 I came across an "aha"
 which I retain to this very day. 
 One dreary February 3rd 
twenty years ago, 
the book exhorted me to be
 "open to change". 
 Well, I was always clutching at change
 in those years, 
so I fiercely took the next insight 
into my thirsty soul:
     "….WE ARE GIVING BIRTH TO GODDESSES…"

Well, OK!  
From that aha moment on, 
I was self-appointed Goddess
….it somehow felt right.  
And because of my (ahem)
 advancing years, 
I am now a Senior Goddess.  
And if I'm going to be a Goddess, 
I may as well be Supreme.

So there you go (or I go):
SENIOR GODDESS SUPREME,
with my birth year, 41
to finish off my title.

Some years into my goddess-ship (?),
 I came across this delightful poster, 
which really validated
that I should continue
 to "embrace the Goddess" 
within me.  
I've had a checkered career 
of careers, 
and certain job skills just plain eluded me.
(before the computer 
and the wonderful "delete" key existed). 

I could be bright and interesting 
and punctual and willing to work, 
but I just was never 
the most enthusiastic or accurate 
typist.  
And then I was validated:


    The jaunty message 
        next to this whimsical depiction of me is:  
       I DO MUCH BETTER
 AS A GODDESS,
   SHE SAID, 
      SINCE MY SECRETARIAL SKILLS
      HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LIMITED.

    So declareth me, myself, 
SGS41.
